Dear Rick Ross, About Your Slipping Molly Lyrics… No.
Rick Ross, the rapper with moobs has earned this sternly-worded letter for being a disrespectful misogynistic jackass through his music.
Dear Rick Ross,
You came out with a song with the following lyrics:
“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.”
*clutches pearls*
I am to tell you that you need gather your life because it is clearly not all together. Some of it is scattered in the corner, and some of it might be lost under your giant mammaries. It ain’t together!
How in the hell did you think uttering those words FOR RECORD was okay? When did date rape become the topic for bragging rights, Rozay??? NEVER, that’s when. Ok, maybe in the mid-90s and early 2000s, when the uncle of misogynistic rap, Eminem dedicated a whole album (Marshall Mathers LP) to his hate of women. And I feel ULTRA guilty because I used to love that CD.
“Bitch I’ma kill you, you don’t wanna fuck with me. Bitch it’s true you ain’t nothing but a slut to me… “Bitch I’ma kill you like a murder weapon I will conceal you…” I actually rapped those words out loud before, bobbing my head to the dope beat. I feel TERRIBLE. But I have grown. I know better.
Still. You might not be the first to say some insensitive ass shit about women through rap or song (I surely won’t go into the history of misogyny in music because that post would be an encyclopedia) but that doesn’t mean we should let this one slide.
No parts of those lyrics is ok. NONE OF IT. You’re talmbout slipping a roofie into a woman’s drink, taking her home and having your way with her and not having her remember it. HELLO, RAPE CULTURE!
If we all need proof that we live in a society that perpetuates violence against women, you don’t have to look far. ALL the people who heard this song before it got released thought it was fine? Seriously. That’s not cool! The fact that you wrote those lyrics down, spit them unto the mic, approved them to go on this song and then released them means at no point did anyone tell you “hey. maybe you shouldn’t say that.” You can your crew felt it was perfectly reasonable to boast about date raping a woman. And then the label allowed it to come out?
There was NO one who was all “Hey BAWSE. Chill on that?” That in itself is problematic. I blame you first for uttering this garbage but I also blame the fools who gave it the thumbs up for public consumption.
And someone somewhere is gonna defend that line, telling us “chill, it’s just music.” Because, you know, date rape is cool to rap about. As long as it has a good beat. O__O I want to tell them to get the entire hell out along with you. It’s not just music.
Music is NOT just music. For those who will say “it’s just music” then you don’t know how the human brain works. It’s deeper than that. Music has the ability to sink in our minds and connect with people’s thoughts and emotions in a way nothing else can. Why do you think music is used for therapy? It’s incredibly powerful.
Those lyrics will connect with someone. Kids (and some adults) who look up to Rick Ross are gonna listen to him slipping someone a molly and “she don’t even know it” and some will think it’s ok. They’ll think that behavior is normal and justifable.
This rape culture we live in tries to cut women down to size at any chance, and all our lives we’ve had to fight like Miss Sophia. Just so people can treat our bodies with respect. And here you come with this garbage. I’m not here for it.
I need to put on your GOOD bra, step up to someone’s podium and apologize for being an irresponsible misogynistic prick. And then tell people that it’s really not okay. And then at the end of that day, take off your bra and lay your burdens down next to your face chain and re-assess your lifespace.
Art is subjective but artists can also be held accountable for their work when they perpetuate a culture that is damaging to us all.
GET YOUR LIFE, RICK ROSS!!! Also, none of this lends you street cred. We still remember you were a cop. We will never forget.
LuvBug
P.S. You really need to start wearing shirts more often. For reasons. Your nipples point down at your feet and no one is here for that.
P.P.S. Can people stop rapping about molly now? I’m tired of hearing that heffa’s name.
So what do y’all think about Rick Ross’ music and this latest foolishment?

I…..man what?
In 2013….
That anyone..would even…sir. I’m actually at a loss. First Wayne’s Emmett Till reference not this. I am a child of the hip hop era, a college gradate of this here incredibly ratchet chapter in rap. I luhhh me some Ricky Rozzay trap music..matter of fact I have a Pandora station dedicated to him. I know the lyrics are abhorrent, the content subpar. But to brag about drugging, and having non-consensual sex with a woman, who is drugged to the point that she’s unaware of it happening?!? There need to be some decency limits, damn !
<—-wishes someone would slip him a Dexatrim. or some Crestor with a Slim Fast chaser. smh
*faints*
Or sprinkle some sensa in his blunts….
/\_/\_/\______________ I flatlined.
Snorted.
LAWD!!! *dead*
*Here lies Riea* COD: Yall and yall ignorance. Maybe someone should slip him a Molly and a Roofie and whilst he’s KO’ed staple his stomach or give him a breast reduction or something.
My ability to can right now is paralyzed. this is too funny.
I was never a fan of Mr. Ross. NEVER but even so, this here is some foolishness. I am mad that so many people let this slide. Sad part is most of the people who listen to his music probably have no idea that he is even alluding to date rape. I….. I just….. I’m done.
Thank you for this. Oh so much to say about rap culture, rape culture and thinking that you can say anything!
“And then at the end of that day, take off your bra and lay your burdens down next to your face chain and re-assess your lifespace.”
Agreed. Anyone who feels that it is okay to even utter that statement definitely needs to evaluate their existence. This gives me the sombers.
Thank you, Luvvie. I mean, hello…Stubenville, anyone? These seeds get planted long before the action – and this is a perfect example of how we become desensitized to things. Good for you for calling him on the carpet for it!
This is why I side eye and sigh when people tell ME I’m getting “too upset” about rape culture. There are REASONS to be upset.
This lyric is just plain trash. I hate that I ever jigged to Hustlin now. But the worst part about his lyric and all the other garbage out there, rappers keep getting the pass of OH THAT’S HOW WE DO!! Nawwwwwwwwwww.
Or my favorite. “Boys being boys!”
They can miss me with that bullshit, grow up, read a book, hell Google will read you one now and days, and start acting like they have a tiny bit of morals.
And how can you write lyrics like that and have kids?!
Welp we know how he got women before he had money o_O……..this is disturbing for so many reasons. A friend and I were just talking about this stuff last night. People let SO much stuff slide these days and its actually a bit frightening. Where’s the line anymore? It seems to have disappeared. Nothing is sacred or beyond their ignorant ass reach. I just……this is exactly why I don’t listen to the radio anymore. I’m 28 years old in the car yelling “what the hell are these kids listening to!” like my momma……I didn’t like who I saw in the rearview mirror and stopped listening to the radio lol. Me and my ipod and my chosen music do just fine lol
I never liked his or this current generation of “rappers” for this very reason. They are absolute trash as “artists” and as human beings. I have a sincere hatred for them that just won’t quit.
I’m not surprised that Boobies the Fool decided to put this into his lyrics. He’s a hot, melted mess of a dirt-smeared snowman, and he needs to retire somwhere in the same city retirement home as Ja Rule, 50 Cent, and the rest of No Limit.
AcutaLOL at “Boobies the Fool” !!
I just can’t. Can someone tell me when they start letting people live on other planets because I’m just done with ALL of earth. As if the fact that he tole his entire rap persona and focus on the fact wasn’t enough to tell his that he was full of ish he pulls this stuff out.
I hate people sometimes.
If you all of can find the time then please check out 17 year old newcomer from the U.K http://mixtapemadness.co.uk/J.Saurus/JurassicParkChapterI:SurvivedExtinction/1081 – He is nothing like Rozay and speaks the truth with an incredible flow. :-)Enjoy
Ey. This ain’t MySpace forums. Don’t just be dropping links of promo like this. O___O
I hate this!!!!! No one cares. No one is dumb enough to click on that SPAM. Maybe you can carry Mr Ross bra’s for him while you all try and find your life.
*e-balling up your trifling link and dunking it in the nearest trash can.*
*sigh*
In the time after the Steubenville rape case as well…my blood is still boiling with feminist rage and then I see this.
I don’t care how rejected he gets by women, this is not the answer. I would over him a seat but I’ve even run out of ishts to give about people like him.
I’m a teacher and it pains me that this is the trash that our youth listens and looks up to. In the school at which I teach, there are so many students without the proper guidance at home and it’s apparent that they are taking their life lessons from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and the like. All I can do is SMH.
I teach 8th grade and feel the same way. It truly is us against the world when dealing with these babies.
So far over the line, and like others have said, I’m glad you called him on it. It is a crying shame that no one said a word before the song was recorded, but at least you did what you could. Disgusting.
I agree that the line was distasteful. But is it any less distasteful to publicly ridicule his appearance and weight?
How do we know Rozay doesnt stay up late at night crying into his satin pillow and binge eating krispy kremes, upset because people say his nipples sag and point down? (And what is he to do about this? Turn them back up!?)
Or feeling the weight of depression because he is emotionally affected by comments that he should wear a bra? It’s not cool to promote date rape, but its also not cool to make fun of someone’s appearance.
Insensitivity in any form can perpetuate a damaging culture and morally corrosive group-think behavior. To resist this, we should all strive to embrace positivity and mutual human respect.
Sometimes we gotta hug it out.
You hug him first. o__O
LOL!
you got my cat scared and meowing over here cause I laughed so damn hard I started chocking.
I am thisclose to just being OVER rap music. I don’t want this to be the music associated with my beautiful Black culture, I have the sads now…
I just heard this foolishness yesterday and had to stop my car in amazement that it was being played on my radio! What the entire hell? Is this what rap has come to? SMH. And like you, I want to have a funeral for Molly. That heifer needs to die.
I’d like to think someone in his entourage tried to tell him not to do this and he simply clapped dem titties on ’em and turned that person into Flat Stanley.
I really want to believe this.
I literally laughed out loud reading this on the train.
LOL
Actually Molly is slang for MDMA(Ecstasy) powder/crystals, not Roofies. Just thought I would point that out. *Runs* THis BS though is so not okay, like you would think a former Cop would know better. How did no one go Nawl son this is not cool, LIke not Rocko(whose song it is) Not Future(who was also a featured artisit) told MR Moobs to sit down with that mess. The fact that everyone thought this was okay doesn’t sit right with me.
Also I too think MOlly needs to go take her overplayed ass on Vacay or something cause damn! I blame Trinidad James.
We know what Molly is. We still want her to die though.
Well wasn’t sure, cause you mentioned Roofies in your post. Yeah that Heffa def needs to get murked, cause I am sick and tired of her ass. BTW when did rappers become the new Clubkids?
I never liked his shiny fat behind or his music. I am not surprised at this. No one even blinks at the ratchedness coming from these buffoons. He needs to be dragged about this.
What I wanna know is, if it is illegal for me as a woman to walk around with my boobs exposed to the public, why is he allowed to? I find his scribbled-on udders positively offensive and I ain’t here for all of that.
Not the stuff of my dreams, Luvvie!
I say this – let him say what he wants, but why is Reebok sponsoring him? I’m like ‘enjoy your free speech but I’mma boycott yo azz and everyone who fux with ya.’
I actually like Ricki Rozay don’t judge me but those lyrics are unacceptable and that song needs to pulled I get that people have said worst side eyes Eminem but as Luvvie says that has nothing to do with the price of tea in china.
*Deep Sigh* This man and his over-sized titties stress me so……
I was really about to hit my doughie over this bowl of collard greens that I put my FOOT in until I saw them titties. *pushes the bowl away silently* I think I’ll have a cup of tea and let it marinate a lil. My stomach twinged.
Them lyrics is annointed by the devil (like my aunt and them used to say). His annointing alll over it. Rick real good at bein’ a dick. And Rick, really? You wanna tell errbody the only way you can really get some is to rape a chick? Huh? I’d keep that shit to myself, bruh. There’s no bigger way to say Loser than that.
…and SN: we dont give tat artists enough respect for the shit they have to deal with. I mean, can you imagine grippin that titty just to put some ink on it. NAWL Mayne! Umma pass. Looks like somebody was gonna have to take a trip to Home Depot and get a good pair of galvanized steel vice grips and industrial tongs. Cause in the words of Aretha, “Aine no wayyyyyyy….”
I have nothing witty to say….just
Thank you Luvvie
The gif of Sylvester Jr has me crying…I can hear him saying it…”For shame”..
and THIS is why i say we need to explicitly teach our kids not to rape…we explicitly teach them not to lie, steal, etc. we teach them table etiquette but somehow think they’ll figure out the bedroom.
Hey Luvvie!
Huge Fan!

Would love to chat with you and learn more about professional blogging, and perhaps, guest blogging on your site.

Yesss…Luvvie. You read him like when I used to read black and yellow CliffsNotes in high school when I didn’t read the book. Yesss!
Usedto’ we had real female MCs that would’ve lit his azz up on a mixtape after uttering such foolishness. *sigh*, how I miss those days.
[…] Dear Rick Ross, About Your Slipping Molly Lyrics… No. […]
Sad thing is someone is paying him to spout this trash. Why don’t we hold producers responsible for letting their little dog crap this ish out on the airways? Not only is it not okay to be pro-rape in his lyrics it is also not ok to talk about cappin’ a brother because he didnt give due respect. The sooner we scream no to the radio stations and their sponsors the quicker we can stop the desensitization. Let’s face it producers up on high mainly pay black rappers to promote the killin, raping, and drugging and the white artists don’t even say this stuff in proportion to what black artists do. Look it up. “An Air Quality Experiment Document”
Don’t you just hate feminist…. what he did was wrong but throwing Eminem under the bus? Music is not shown to have a deep psychological effect except on vocabulary. Thirdly, our society doesn’t degrade women, a few rich rappers degrade women so stop throwing all men under the bus for violence against women.
