- How New Generation Hip-Hop Values Saved Rick Ross's Career from 50 Cent
One of the most emblematic beefs in hip-hop history has been the never-ending grudge between 50 Cent and Rick Ross.
While rap beefs are traditionally characterized by savage diss tracks, the heat between the two heavyweights highlighted a whole new dimension of rap beefs.
From disrespectful taunts and clowning on social media to bringing the families of both rappers into the crosshairs, both artists showed how other means of disrespect can be as effective as diss tracks.
This can be seen in the several career-threatening secrets that both artists released on each other, with the situation even escalating into legal action.
However, the rivalry has equally produced several acid-laced diss tracks such as "Mafia Music" by Rick Ross and "Officer Ricky" by 50 Cent.
Of all the secrets revealed by both artists, the biggest was the confirmation by 50 Cent that Rick Ross is a former corrections officer.
This information will ordinarily not be harmful to most rappers.
However, for Rick Ross, this meant that his gangsta, drug-pushing, crime boss persona and all of his lyrics were fake.
This kind of revelation should be enough to destroy the credibility and career of a rapper like Rick Ross who has built his whole empire on the image of a rich crime boss.
Imagine this! If in the late 90's it was proven that Snoop Dogg was not the real-life gangsta he was known to be, that was have meant the certain end of Snoop's career.
Well, hip-hop is in a different place from where it was in the 90's and 2000's.
The rise of trap music and other blended genres of hip-hop music has lowered the standards and expectations of most hip-hop lovers.
Values like rappers' authenticity and lyrical content just don't matter anymore.
Most hip-hop lovers don't care if its fake or real, original or borrowed.
This is why the biggest rappers of today make their hits by either repeating the same words throughout the entire track or talking about experiences they know nothing about.
That's how Rick Ross and many other rappers survived and continued thriving even after being exposed as fakes.
However, if the Rick Ross vs. 50 Cent beef happened in the late 90s or early 2000s, it is highly unlikely Rick Ross's credibility and career would have survived.
The Miami rapper also handled the situation in the worst possible way, making mistakes that could have helped destroy his credibility and career even faster.
This video lists 5 of them.

During his feud with 50 Cent, Ross' album sales in the United States decreased by 90% in just five years.
Anybody heard Lloyd Banks -officer down ? He got bodied on that, the only reason we still hear of him is, because the new generation likes mumble rap...
Big facts! Banks bodied him
If it was 2005 and that officer Ricky track came out, it would've been over
Tupac - Lyric King
Biggie - Flow King
Eminem - Rhyme King
Dr. Dre - Beat King
Rick Ross - Burger king
And I am the King of Rap.
Pears
Don’t forget Daniel son
50 cent - Hook king
Daniel S lmao 😂
You are king of copy 🤪🤪
you was a cop officer rick ross😂😂
I like both artist music but 50 is real gangsta plus why keep rapping when u sit in boardroom with the elite 50 took his game to another level
^Real Gangsta^ LOOOL
Officer Ricky... Radio for backup lol
He is dead
4:40 Rick Ross did mention that he was a correctional officer. Noriega was house in Federal prison in Miami. "I know Pablo, Noriega The real Noriega, he owe me a hundred favors" ---Rick Ross song Hustlin'
Facts
let's say you are right then Rick Ross was just a pawn obeying Pablo if not he got shot , or he just smart to get on his good side . but how to know if Pablo haven't confirmed
George Hernandez I'm just pointing out he mentioned he was a cop. Everything else is a lie. He was a cop and became a rapper. Ross was a nobody..the only way Noriega would owe Rick Ross anything is for him giving Nore extra cigarettes, cookies, or something...only way he would know nore is by being a cop...
That don't mean he "know" him. That implies shit that doesn't actually exist, like he is cool with Pablo Noriega or some dumb shit.
I remember that line vividly but let's be honest, the public in general never took it as he being a C.O, and he never admitted that in the song... but knowing he was a C.O now, it's easy to attach it to this line....
Rick Ross can spit though
G writers bro
Lobo 1 G till I die If you think Ross has writers youre straight stupid. Ross writes for other people too.
What the fuck are you crazy he write his own his shit the o ot reason people don’t fuck him hard is fuck he faked it till he made it
You know whats stupid.....fat boy said he will get at Em....
Nah, his lyrics are wack and he’s fake. So no real motherfuckers don’t fuck with Ricky
50 in OG. He fucks with people just for the heck of it. People forget 50 is gangster. Don’t look at him the wrong way.
Your whole narrative is full of holes and got it mixed up. Rick Ross wasn't saved by the new generation, he enabled the new generation. There's a very significant time gap in between his expose and the rise of mumble rappers. You failed to mention that this whole time, Rick Ross in spite of his fake past, was still relevant in the game and posting big numbers sales wise. That in turn is what led to the explosion of fake rappers today. So, no, the new generation didn't save his career.
Y’all kill me acting like 50 is invincible
Like frfr
All this rap music is just Entertainment ! Don't get caught up in the hype..
Its fun to have a topic
50 for life
Maybe it’s because Ross makes great music and Everyone knows the CO’s are the ones who bring the drugs in prison
This is classic 😂😂😂😂
I still dont understand how people listen to Rick Ross but lol you honestly answered that question in the video.
His voice is annoying. Only the beats are good.
@@silent1267 True he really does have a good ear for beats.
legendary he makes better music than your fav rapper fuck what he did in the past if it ain’t about the music we shouldn’t care
@@daboysb Nah never has and never will Ross is garbage.
legendary making better music than your hero Cuuuuurtis
I mean yes he was a C.O, but who's to say he didn't push coke and be a C.O at the same time?? Just saying
exatly the biggest coke dealers are literally the cops lol my people are asleep. if I had a guy working as a cop nigga we would carry hella bag
sweet work dude tats all i gotta say
I disagree it's simple Rick Ross just makes better music than 50 that's why 50 couldn't end his career. Ross kept coming with hits after hits and you can't deny that
It's really that simple
True
Hits after hits? Name one...
@@naemname4122 bmf, diced pineapples, Aston Martin music, magnificent, biggest boss, I'm not a star,
Bo Peep I know zero of those songs... But hey, I know In the Club, Candy shop, Wanksta, Poppin them thangs, Many men, 21 questions and the list goes on. Not even a fan of 50.
Wait is he alive?
50 CENTS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONG WRITERS AND HOOK MAKER .ROSS WAS LIVING A LIE .ROSS WAS A GOOD RAPPER BUT ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S LIFE .50 LIVED WHAT HE SAID
Damn you ride 50 dicc any harder you may get a dollar 😂
I just came because the title sounded funny and interesting
Ross can't be put down period remember officer Ricky and what happend he blew up more he is very respected
He may blew up but he ain't rezpekted u won't know no street niggaz who rezpek Ricky nobody in da hood fkkz with this nigga he too fake..
I been saying this for since it pop off.. #Gunit4Life
50 ruined him and his reputation forever.
its easy. officer rick marked the absolutely end of realness and credibility in american rap. it bothers me that so many real rappers like freddie, papoose, raekwon or z-ro doing music with the officer but then again i understand its just for business. ross got a unique voice and his style and music obviously works and i respect his hustle. he really put in work. still, hes a fake person, a character.
Especially when Kanye west beat 50 in 2007 rap was never the same
@@dwaynejpeterkin yep, that was just another symptom of raps downfall
officer ricky
He's already dead, it's just his belly couldn't fit into the grave.
Man your stupid..... Rick Ross is a platinum rapper 50 cant even sell 350 copies
ARose You Know do you know many record 50 cent sold ?
@@MegaCoolboy78 records aimed at Ja yeah I do and since then he ain't sold shit period.... 2 hit CDs and after that all flops
ARose You Know four. His third album went 3x platinum and his fourth album went platinum. Ross only has one platinum album 😂😂😂
@@MegaCoolboy78 I dont know where your getting your info but your wrong so wrong....
Ross went at 50 at his weak point had Ross went st 50 at his strong point it would be a different matter
Why did 50 never get rick ross touched?
Officer Ricky
Damn
Half Dollar ran out ideas many years ago
His last album was number one he was nominated for a Grammy yeah his done! Since the beef started he's had 4 number one albums and 2 number 2 albums. Knock it off already computer YOU'RE DONE. BEEP BEEP BEEP
Rick Ross is a fraud
Exactly. Ross killed 50 music career. Only 50 stans say otherwisw
All them together only sold 4 mil
@@poloregal 50 was in business mode by that time. Stfu. You ross stans and 50 haters annoying
a #1 album aint shit to have bro... all the artist and the label gotta do, is release when no other major player in the genre is releasing an album.... for e.g Jay Z could drop an album any time and be #1 in Hip Hop/Rap for the week it dropped... but he wouldn't guarantee having a #1 album over all genres, so he's playing a tougher game, so he drops when the Taylor Swifts etc aren't dropping... Rick Ross has never had a Hot 100 #1 Album, but he may have had a #1 Hip Hop/ Rap album, since he's not on the Jay Z level of sales... Drake does the same shit as Jay Z does, this shit aint as revered as before when you know what it is...
Old guys just having fun
50 cent has nothing to do with Rick Ross success. Rick Ross must be a smart dude. No one cares about what 50 cent thinks.
Rick Ross vs 50 Cent boxing fight, make it happen. (Ik 50's a boxer)
It’s a shame when hip hop changed & believed ‘rozay’ image...
The guy was a CO & his friends never commited crimes.
Took rick ross name and made a persona...
Shame really.
Fake music scene
Kurt Pullen Real life MC GUSTO off CB4
Lol. Google boobie boys. U a dumb ass if you think ross is fake
Kurt Pullen first of all your here 50 Cent stole his mame too... and second how the fuck Boobie Boys and Zoe Pound was down with Ross... waitin answers..
Why can people like David Chase and others make gangster TV series or movies but our rappers have to keep it real. It's only entertainment. I want the real criminals behind bars not rapping them. Rick Ross is a story teller and I'm ok with it.
Kurt Pullen Fake asses, Fake dreads, Fake gangstas, the future looking real f***** up for REAL ONES
Who is ricky ross
why the stephen hawkin voice thing lol .. if you can't be bothered to talk yourself, why even post these videos
Personally I think its time 50 accepts the fact that stopping Rick Ross is no longer possible... Corrections Officer or not....nigga made it to the very top....one of the best ever no denying that.
This video is trash.. mumble rap had nothing to do with mumble rap... Ross music was THEE most improved during and after his beef with 50... and i wouldnt include ross in the category of mumble rap
It was just hard work
50 crazy
Rick Ross is no way near 50, his style is boring and repetitive ASF
56k subs and he doesn't even narrate his own stuff. This is a response of the new age of hip hop too.
It did
Lloyd banks killed this man.
Rap officer Ricky
Lol officer Rick and snitch fifty
=))))) and both stole names
Hip hop doesn’t belong to the streets anymore. Hip hop is now pop and belongs to the suburbs. They don’t care if what you talk about is real or not, they don’t care if you was really with the shit.
They just wanna hear ignorant shit and don’t care if its true or not. Thats exactly the reason why hip hop is not meant to be suburban and pop. If you make a music genre go pop, it always turns out shitty because the artists start coming for the money instead of coming for the love of the art. Its just a cash milking cow for these new rappers. Thats why they never show love to the oldschool or talk about some real shit.
????? They don’t know what the f*%k they’re talking about. Smh
Everybody getting likes and money promoting deadly drama and beef between black musicians, you niggas eqting that shit up. I agree with the video good vid!
Do you really think Steven Spielberg lived in the Jurasic age. It's art. Ross is an artist in the literal sense as he says "I entertain n****s under poverty lines, so I paint this pretty pictures as part of my rhymes"!
He is fake
You're missing the point.
Rick Ross is talented but with him lying about being a officer I can't mess with him the moment I found out Rick Ross was an officer I stopped listening to his music.
Tiger25NYC Brooklyn COs usually smuggle shit n out of prison but clearly you wouldn't know cuz u ain't never walked no yard
2pac is the g.o.a.t
Is JK Rawlings a wizard?
50 was already getting blackballed by Jimmy Iovine around the time of Curtis. Listen to We Up with Kendrick, that shit is a hit
People were getting tired of Curtis that's why
The point is back on the day...Rick wouldn't be around....nobody would fuck with him back when rap was rap...
When Ross was on the verge of becoming obsolete dj Khalid, wayne, Drake , Birdman was putting that Nigga on hit after hit that’s what kept him afloat then he put out some good projects on his own Ross owes his career to cash money and khaled
Only 12-year old white kids EVER thought RR was any kind of kingpin
I'm the man- 50 cent that was not a hit?
Hw can ppl even compare the 2 smh.fif a legend/icon,rozay is a c/o turn rapper n btw ain't 50 stil relevant besides music.#whereisross #
I feel u g #Deepstayn we run dis i
Rick ross spit knowledge
The reason Rick Ross 1of mi favorite rappers not just tha music.. But he came IN THA GAME FOR THAT ($BAG$) .. An in successfully did it an still growing.. Not just being a artist.. But as a very well successfully business man etc.. Lol He A FAT NIGGA AN BOSS HIS WAY IN THA GAME.. Lol Ppl MAD! #MuchLuvRozayFukem
Rick Ross was supposed to be the souths version of Jay-Z he lost all of that and his name he no longer goes my the moniker. His name is Rozay and in the standing of the community he lost everything
Rick Ross saved!!!
Good vid but you were veeeery repetitive abt how shit wouldve been different (& better) in the old days but those days are over. Embrace new school rap instead of hating on it cuz old school isnt gonna come back soon
Ross clearly out-rap 50... Huh!
'Xactly
Big ass Freud hehe
Hip Hop is not what it used to be, its "Fake" now being "Real" doesn't mean much to the younger generation who promote Rick. People just see it as entertainment like a movie.
Not a real boss somebody call OFFICER RICKKKKKKKIEEEEEEE
One is an ARTIST the other an ENTERTAINER. PLAIN & SIMPLE
We not gonna talk about the music, y'all already know what it is. So, this wasnt even worth watching - wouldnt subscribe for shit! Find some up-to-date relevant news
This was def in a time where he was supposed to be thrown away, I'm from Dade and Niggas was SUPER disappointed in that boy. Like, Big disappointed, Niggas still bring that up a little. Ross just better than boy, 50 Cent dump foo, he just like to argue
Guess you have not listened to hustlin where Ross clearly hints at being a co in the past
RAPPERS LIE THAT'S COOL WITH ME IS ONLY ENTERTAINMENT..
Ok so he is not a boss but owns restaurants?
Yep. Back in the day he would be finished
Ding dong
Snoop really is a crip.
Snoop is a Bitch
Rick ross might be the realest G.
Them officers do some mad shit.
Can we not call this new generation shit "hip hop"
Lol Rick Ross can't handle 50 CENT!!
Floyd Williams facts ross is irrelevant today
Junior K if Ross is irrelevant today then 50 is prehistoric
JABARI remembe 50 has power ross has nothing outside music
Junior K he's CEO of mmg and power ain't hittin no more
JABARI MMG fell off and power is the number rated show on cable behind game of thrones
You guys way to interested in these people's lives, I fuck with fiddy, but he's not really musically relevant in recent years and is only threatening everyone on social media. Meanwhile ross released a pretty good album this last year, and is releasing a new one this year. Mumble rap has nothing to do with anything.
50 not a rapper ...he a goon that could write raps......
but 50 could fuck with Ross
Wrong Wrong Wrong it's producing period it been that way since the 90s you don't know hip hop bro even snoop got over because of Dre a producer the only thing is different is people value beats over lyrics period
Fif snitch on black child when he stab him..i hate snitches
Whoever made this is 100% correct
Biggie lie alot in his songs. His mom even confirmed it
Ross killed 50 with Mafia Music. Ross is a much better rapper than 50 ever was real or fake. Plus who really aged better? Ross or 50? Its obvious Ross won.
The whole about this video is funny because he did indeed get exposed for being a CO but Miami wouldve been put him out there for not havin a street background. Trick Daddy did that because Rozay ran with the crew(boobie boys) who allegedly was responsible for killin his older brother, Hollywood, who was Trinas boyfriend. Plenty of niggas done had legal situations n still ran the street.. I know niggas in the military who was touchin bricks. Now kingpin vs breakin down a few blocks, to me is wo different ppl.. All these niggas exaggerate.. Hell 50 himself wasnt kingpin but he had a block pumpin for him.. Being a CO dont automatically discredit a nigga. Go to Rozay page n he got real pictures with real Miami street legends before he started rapping.. Not sayin that i condone him lying but it automatically make u a fraud.Plus Fif didnt do nuthin about him, Game, Kiss, or Fat Joe. He only ruined one nigga n that was Ja Rule musically. In my opinion, they both real niggas they both just live by a different set of rules.
Big
Jay z
Rick Ross
Jada kiss
Snoop dog/Kanye
The rappers aren't gangsters. Just rappers. Not all of them rap the truth. Just playing a role like the actors. We need to apreciate the talent, not their private life.
G writers....cmon man
Not true. If you Rap about your real life that gives more meaning to the songs. Not everyone will understand. I’ll give him some credit, he had some talent but he should have just spoke on his real life and not act like a hardcore drug dealer. The guy was asked many times in interviews if he was really a correctional officer and he said “no that’s crazy that people making up the lies”. I don’t think I’ll be able to make people understand what I’m trying to say but if it really didn’t matter then he would have just said he was playing a role and back then he did do that as a job but no to them it means a lot that you speak on your real life and if your a fake then in Rap you lose credibility. Now a days it don’t matter, just give morons a beat and Mumble Rap and that’s talent.
This is stupid. First, rick ross admitted being a co in the teflon don album. Second, he survived the beef coz people listen to his music. 50 cant produce a hit since ever. 50 lost coz his beef cost him dearly in court and he filed for bankruptcy. Mumble rap has nothing to do with it. The beef was done when lil yatchy and the rest of the mumblers rose up.
Lord Scribe he sued his lawyers and got the money back
Justin Harris that didnt change the fact that it was his own stupidity that cost him in the headphone and rick ross baby mama lawsuits, causing him to file for bankruptcy that tarnished his image. He focused too much in his beefs and forgot his music career. His moves look irrelevant compared to ross today.
Lord Scribe he’s more relevant than rick ross today
Junior K music wise he aint
Lord Scribe true. MMG fell of so hard
Rick ross stole his stage name lol.
50 cent stole his stage name lol.
I thought he was dead since the Officer Ricky diss? I ain't hear shit from him since. I guess the so called Boss, can't accept death yet...or something. Smh
I'm from Ireland and I honestly haven't heard of him since. Not even a single on the radio
Mauricio Fernandez if you haven't heard of him since 09 when that diss dropped then u been living under a rock lmfao
Looks like there are some Rick Ross haters
The song Mafia Music 🎼 killed 50 cent career !
Officer Ricky (Lloyd Banks & 50 Cent)
Um Rick Ross is a zoe🤔
50 stomped out your man though
