What can you expect on a date with the 36GGG bra cup rapper, Rick Ross? The three Rs of course: Ribs, Rolexes, and Rape. Wait, rape? On Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.” Ross raps: “Put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it. I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.“
Really? That line caused an uproar amongst women, which caused Ross to explain himself on New Orleans Q 93.3 radio station. He stated:
“I wanted to come down to the radio station. There is certain things you can’t tweet, you have to verbalize. I want to make sure this is clear, that woman is the most precious gift known to man, you understand? It was a misunderstanding with a lyric, a misinterpretation where the term rape wasn’t used. I would never use the term rape. As far as my camp, Hip-Hop don’t condone that. The streets don’t condone that. Nobody condones that. So I wanted to reach out to all the queens that’s on my timeline, all the sexy ladies, the beautiful ladies that have been reaching out to me with the misunderstanding. We don’t condone rape and I’m not with that.”
First of all officer, that line wasn’t a double entendre. It was clear as day. You clearly said I’m going to drug her than have sex with her, without her knowing. There was no play on words. You were clearly describing a rape. Now I’m not going to pretend like Ross was the first to say he’ll rape a woman in his lyrics. I mean I could name several songs by different rappers who outright said they will rape someone (Rap and The Rape Culture is another topic for another time). My thing is don’t pour syrup on sh-t and tell me its pancakes (word to the movie Juice). Just because the word ‘rape’ wasn’t used doesn’t mean it wasn’t implemented. If I say I have to go to the bathroom, you kind of have an idea of what I have to do. So I’m sorry Mr. Officer, your explanation is as solid as water in the desert. Also Mr. Officer, unfortunately, today’s kids are doing whatever you, Lil Wayne, and Drake are saying in a song. So that means sipping lean and popping mollies while screaming YOLO. Now you’re telling them to take those mollies and put them in a chick’s drink to get some sex. Oh, okay. Just remember next time you think about adding a rape metaphor into a rap line, just sit back, think about this situation, and have a V-8. -Pooh Bailey
