Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
In today’s Miami New Times, Uncle Luke penned a letter to Rozay for his “Luke’s Gospel” column. Amen?
Dear Rick Ross:
As someone who survived several rap beefs, I’m going to give you some advice. You need to seriously address the threats and attempts on your life. You have worked hard to become a big name in hip-hop. You’ve paid your dues and you’ve grown lyrically since the release of your debut album, Port of Miami, in 2006. You’ve arrived, buddy.
But all this gangster bullshit is jeopardizing your career. No club or arena is going to risk people getting shot. You can forget about doing any tours or CD signings. And if you can’t make money, watch how fast Warner Bros. Records turns on you. I know from experience how venues and the music industry would like to black ball you.
You have the Gangster Disciples breathing down your neck because you’ve named-dropped Larry Hoover, the gang’s founder, in your music. Unlike the record and book publishing industries, these bad dudes don’t understand the concept of public domain. They see you getting rich forever by rapping about their leader, and they don’t like it. That’s why they’re on YouTube talking about how you need to go see them and cut a check.
It’s a shame you can’t enjoy life without spending part of your earnings on heavy security or risking your freedom by purchasing an arsenal. Remember, that’s what landed T.I. and Lil Wayne in prison. You don’t want that to happen to you. However, those are the consequences of rapping about being something you’re not.
Hip-hop has a rich history of college guys who never committed a crime rapping about moving kilos of cocaine and taking out snitches. Every gangster rapper takes on the role of a real hood legend to build up street cred. But I don’t want you to fall into the trap of believing you are really a gangster.
Trust me, you don’t want to go out like Biggie Smalls or Tupac. It’s time you squash your beefs.

………ETHER!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
I really like this.
Damn, take the advice Rozay
So does Rap Radar and the crew call Luke a “hater” too?
Luke, don’t post here on Rap Radar cause when your opinion differs, you’re a “hater”!
Maybe B Dot , the gatekeeper of hip hop (in his mind), will let us know if Luke is allowed to express himself without being vilified & ridiculed as someone who doesn’t know anything about hip hop
Lord knows we’re not
@p0is0nedkoola on Twitter
Lester Bangs of hip hop
Luke says “pop asses” , not guns
Truth only so long fake thugs can pretend
But how does one switch from the fake gangster persona to a mainstream rapper. Without losing cred.
Man he could have found a way to text him this BS. Anyways Ross is a grown ass man he knows there’s consequences for his actions he just rather take the risk and make money
opinions are so overrated
lame nigga wants attention
rozay cant be stopped….
nigga gettin money and they hate it
^ ETHER indeed but he forgot to put an UGH!!
Word is born!!!
IM A HUGE RICK ROSS FAN I ENJOY HIS MUSIC BUT THATS ALL, SOME FOLKS TAKE THIS WHOLE ENTERTAINMENT THANG TOO DAMN FAR.. THATS WHEN PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO KILL AND GO TO JAIL OR BE KILLED OVER ANOTHER MAN’S CD/LYRIC..REALLY ??? LIKE AINT WE GOT BETTER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT / FIGHT FOR AS A PEOPLE THAN GO TO WAR OVER WHAT A RAPPER DECIDES TO CALL HIMSELF OR SAY!!! NOW IF IT WAS THE REAL RICK ROSS ID UNDERSTAND BUT EVERYBODY ELSE NEED TO PRIORITIZE A LIL BETTER..
Take note YN..
HA!
True words. I’m sure YN agrees.
The dude who shot at him right here still making videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHxEMa0MnLw&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Good advice. Ross should just fall back n play a position like birdman real talk.
well written..we know ross is gonna do some gay ass response..but he needs to work more on his hip hop shit and artist development . SON ur in ur mid 30s, got millions, u still need to play pretend?
need beats?

no mainstream bullshit^
@dndamien
this is all your fault. ross been fake since day 1 but now all the sudden people realize it.
stop supporting fakes, lames and actors. you are the stupid ones for buying his music that is filled with glamorous lies. have some fucking musical standards.
everything Luke said was absolutely correct and accurate…i see a YN “The Truth”segment coming soon
That’s the realist shit he ever wrote
Chuuchhh!
this needed to be said… maybe not publicly though
Well said
like Hov said… “only so long fake thugs can pretend”.
Rick Ross has no choice but pay them dudes off or give them a record deal. But the reality is he ain’t getting booked for no tours. no real sponsors are gonna fuck with him right now. and he can’t even stay in his own house. homie is in hiding right now eating whole lotta comfort food and smoking 2 ounces of that good good a day.
there are real gangsters out there and they don’t make records and they use real guns.
this will be Elliott’s “The Truth” for thursday, no doubt.
is luke right? should he have publicly published that letter, or personally reached out to rick ross? is he being genuine or sneak-dissing? how will rick ross respond?
all that shit.
These hatters can’t hold Ross back
*stay in your lane skywalker* u get it?
Gangsters don’t rap
cant go to one rick ross thread without a jayz line, stfu.
you guys take rap musical entertainment far too serious.
This is the REALEST SHIT Luke ever wrote!!
G Checked. Next time them slugs will burn your skin if you don’t stop the foolishness…your pushing 40 my dude, think about it
It’s the truth god damn it
son’d dog
That was honest.
Great advice
Yeah it was honest, but he also sent a few shots in there on the low lol. Really, I don’t see what harm it would do to Rick’s career to just pay them niggas. After the CO shit, 50 putting his BM on blast & all that ya’ll still buying this nigga’s shit. Obviously credibility isn’t something that matters anymore…
Rick ross takes risk ??? thats why he did cancel his mmg tour lmfao?! and now gettin hella much security cause ppl are after him..he scared as hell and need 2 fall back with his rapps
I usually like what Luke has to say, but this was some bullshit. He’s clearly kicking his fellow Miamian while he’s down, and making a point of trying to publicly humiliate him. I don’t even like Rick Ross, but he should tell Uncle Luke to eat a dick.
I’m with IIG. This was self-serving for Luke. A nugget or two in there but generally this was more about Luke than Ross. GTFOH!
@Mac Diesel
Eat a DICK ya weirdo
He name droped luke on pop dat
LMAO@”But I don’t want you to fall into the trap of believing you are really a gangster.”
MMG groupies & stans are highly sensitive when it comes to people talking about William L. Roberts.
AMEN!!!!
something for the haters to celebrate, kicking a man when he is down, this letter pissed me off, uncle luke didnt have to put it out there like that, im a fan of rozay, from day one, just let the man make the music that some of us love.
that was real talk but william had his chance to come clean back when he first got exposed and he chose to ignore it and keep going and pushing his character even further smh
and that people is the most TRUTH we have ever got on this site!!!!!!!!!!! and it didnt come from Elliott Wilson!!!!!!!!!!
PS – I heard that YN got a sponsorship deal with “WILSON” baseball mits……..since his face looks like a old catchers mit.
He’s right, we all see through your CB4 act William Roberts, you wanna get killed for portraying something to appear validated?
