    Jacki-O sexy as hell! Miami is definitly one of the illest places I’ve ever visited in my life. The women, the glamour, the ppl, the clubs, even their hoods (Lil’ Haiti STAND UP!) are crazy. Tehy go xxtra hard out there. I don’t think they make the best music but they do their thing.

      You have no life makin a myspace page like that. What an idiot. Im from Miami Dade County, FLA ALL DAY, and down here we dont hate on niggas doing their thang. You may not enjoy the music, but at least respect the grind.

    • artadvance

      Other than andre 3000 and scarface the south is garbage. they have not done anything to advance this music on a creative level.any one who knows anything about this music knows that’s the truth. It is not hate just simple observation. make some progressive timeless music and I bet new yorkers will stop runin their mouth. This is a progressive art just in case you confused !!!!!

    • Irish

      You sayin the WEST COAST get murked down south. We already been down south and we took your shit over. Why u think Bloods and crips took over the south. Why u think the south’s hottest rapper gotta red rag and teardops on his face. Why u think dj khaled gotta khaki suit on this interview. Why u think mike jones and t.i. both did lowrider songs samplin Eazy E’s R.I.P. voice on the chorus. The WEST COAST is the reason why. The south been on our dicks, copyin everything we do. U think we give two fucks about your miami booty bass. So go put your chucks, white tee, dickies, and your bandana on and keep pretendin you bitch. Don’t ever set foot on the WEST COAST.

FUCK WHERE U FROM, IF U NICE THEN U NICE.

    • Lotto

      I feel whatchu sayin my dude, but real talk. When the East and West was on top of the rap game, we (the south) didn’t hate and bitch or anything, if anything we went out and supported and bought they albums. Not mostly the rappers talkin shit, it’s the fans talkin shit. But now that the south kinda runnin thangs. They pissed and jealous like some lil hoes. And I got mad love for New York and the West. But up in NY, who has Jay-Z been fuckin with Lately ? Bun B, Lil’ Wayne, T.I., Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, and you can add my boy Lil’ Flip to the list. Yes, he on Flip’s next album, believe dat. And I can admit it is alot of trash ass rappers down here, but it’s some on every other coast too.

      • WANG

        datz wat i like bout yall southern ni99as
        yall aint no big ass babies like east n west coast ni99as

        im from up north and i rep fo jerzey and da BX but i hate how like my follow ppl up north b hatin on yall

        me myself i luv da south….im down south now…sh!t

        da south roll out da red carpet fo us so we over on da east and yall west coast ni99as should give respect back

  • JAY

    This nigga Khaled is a clown. That fat fuck tries too hard to be cool. And he’s got the corniest, gayest voice Ive heard in hip hop.

    Them Florida niggaz are straight trash because they got that South shit in they DNA. Fuck Florida and the whole South.

    P.S. I aint a South hater,I live in Austin, TX. Thats just real talk.

    • Afi K. James

      And the east coast ain’t much better either, 5-0 has got to be the most disastrous in hip-hop and funkmaster flex is truly corny, time to kick both the east coast and the south out of hip-hop, there both despicable.

      NY Hasn’t been the same since biggie and pun died and it’s gotten even worse ever since.

    • NAWLEDGE

      To Jay – I bet when Trick Daddy came out with “Nann Nigga”, “Im a Thug”, and “Thug Holiday”, you was the first one to jam it in your niegborhood.

      Stop with all the hate. There is talent in Florida. Truthfully, Brisco, Pitbull, and Jaki-O are the real talent in that video. Ross got some good shit. I bet you just aint givin it a chance.

      “My money in front of me, his money just frontin” – Ross

      I from Miami, so I know. I’ve been hearin them for years now. They got some good shit, but look at the music industry today. They dont want that lyricism. like Lupe said, copperate fucks want rappers to “dumb it down”. Trust me, down here it USED TO BE way more than the club and hood shit they do know. Only 3 years ago, niggas spittin hard! Even Trina!

      And dont think niggas fuck with Dj Fagled hard like that. He aint even from Miami. Alot niggas find him annoying as hell.

  • Afi K. James

    and what’s worse Jay, some gayass gay-unit stan have the nerve to say that the lame ass DJ Whoo kidd is better than grandmaster flash, what kind of a goddamn bullshit comment is that?

    That DJ is so bad, he makes that another annoying dj name khaled look like a documentary.

    NY has completely gone to shit like the south, in fact since biggie died, it has gotten even worse Chicken Noodle Soup from Harlem (Immortal Technique must be ashamed to be in harlem), M.I.M.S, Mobb Unit (I Refused to even call them mobb deep anymore), the lean back craze, tupac and biggie wanna-be’s and especially the gay-unit era, NY has destroyed hip-hop just as much as the south.
    and funkmaster flex aka suckmaster flex is the DJ Khaled of NY and so is the entire crappy shot 97 (the most controversial radio station in american history).

  • Tha Ace

    what the fuck is that swagger kid at the top talkin about jacki-o for?? could be wrong but i never saw that skanky bitch in the video

    and since when was miami makin any noise on the hip hop scene? fuck a few radio shits…..they ain’t talkin bout nothin

  • 11Kap

    I like only a few of Rick Ross’ songs. Most of the old school/new scool miami bass is still all that tho.

  • 11kap

    Real hip hop is poetry and lyrics or mic murda, but rapping is just rapping, mostly out of context and self-destructive, so it is not all about where you’re from. It is about consciousness most of all, no matter your accent. Black folks need love too. Big up to that real hip hop and reggae all the time, 24-7. No respect to bad rappers who aren’t really saying anything uplifting, just self-centered nonsense.
    *This is not in reference to Rick Ross, but to every hater, wherever they live. Just putting it into perspective why hip hop is so much different from rap per se.

  • 11kap

    oh yeah I can’t forget the battle emcees. They keep this hip hop thing going.

  • fredro

    RICK ROSS IS A CLOWN. DAT NIGGUH LOOKS LIKE A 400LB HAMBURGERLER. WHUT BITCH WANT TO LAY UP WIT HIS FAT ASS?

  • Maddolies

    It Should Be Illegal 4 Ricky Ross 2 Have No Shirt On. His Breasts Are Bigger Than Trinaz!

  • Compex

    I agree with Nawledge, Im from miami, we dont hate on niggas when they shinin, i had love for NY when they were big, Cali when they were big, and ofcourse the dirty an i think all New Yorkers really are haters, which is funny because half yall family’s done moved down here to Florida anyway, so stop hating hateration!!

    • artadvance

      SINCE WHEN DID BEING CRITICAL MEAN YOU WERE A HATER ? I DON’T THINK ANYONE IN NEWYORK WANTS THE SOUTH TO MAKE SUBPAR MUSIC. I WANNA SEE EVERY REGION DROP SOME NEXT LEVEL SHIT. PERSONALLY I DON’T KNOW RICK ROSS, TRINA, OR ANY OF EM TO HATE THEM. IF YOUR SHIT IS OVER RATED YOUR SHIT IS OVER RATED. IN THIS MUSIC YOU GET CALLED OUT ON THAT SHIT !!!!! IF YOU AIN’T PUSHIN’ THE ENVELOPE AND MAKING SAFE SIMPLE MUSIC ALBUM AFTER ALBUM JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE RADIO WILL PLAY IT YOU ARE A SELL OUT !!!! YOU ARE SELLING OUT YOUR ART, YOU GOTTA BE MORE COMPLEX THAN THAT !!!!

      • NAWLEDGE

        artadvance-

        I feel exactly what you sayin, trust me. I think Ross got some skill and if you’ve ever heard Jakie-O’s, Pitbull, and Brisco’s underground shit, it’ll have you risen your eyebrow.

        Truthfully, I listen to Nas’, Commons’ and Lupe’s album more than Ross’, simply because I like complex rhymes more. But at the same time, I listen to and respect Ross, Trina, Trick (he had complex shit back in the day also) and everyone else. Look at another post I put up. Rappers down here only 3-4 years ago were spittin hard and were complex. When Ross was underground, niggas was sayin he could go to New York and hang with niggas up there. That’s how it WAS.

        The industry completely changed now. Its all a popularity contest. Do you think back in 2000 a nigga like Solja Boy would actually get signed? HELL NO! But back then, the music was popular if it was complex. Nowadays, its more popular to be simple. It sucks massive balls, but I guess niggas gotta eat.

        I mean, look at Webbie. He got some fire complex shit on his album, but its mostly repatative bling bling and booties. That just goes to show that rappers down here have the talent to do it, but it wont pay their bills. It basically gets to the point where they HAVE to sell their souls. Feel me? Thats the best way I could explain it, homie.

        Shout out to niggas like Outkast, Bun B, Scarface, Nas, Rakim, KRS, and the rest of them who decided not to “sell out”.

  • hustle01

    all ya’ll niggaz makin comments bout southern rap sound like HATERRRZ!!!!! truth is the music game is buisness and they makin music people wanna listen to and get down in the club to dont be mad new york fell off dont be mad the west died when pac did and the truth ya’ll dont wanna come down here talking that fuck shit get a mud hole stomped in ya we gon keep stackin that bread fla poppin and shot out to west nam dade and broward

    • Irish

      U call everyone that talk about the south a hater, but then u turn around and talk shit about the east and WEST in the next sentence. Every rapper in the south still tryin to sound like Pac. Besides you gonna be all on the WEST dick again when Detox come out. I met mother fuckers from miami and they couldn’t believe that we have taco shops and 40 ounces out here. They said they don’t even have that in the south. We don’t even consider u fucks as down south. Down south to us is Mexico. South rappers in V neck shirts with tight jeans and biker chains in videos lookin gay. So get that booty shake shit outta here, take that lollipop out your mouth and put a WEST COAST dick in it.

  • T-Nard

    MAN JACKI-O IS FINE ASS HELL…!!! DAMN HER ASS SO BIG IT WAS COMING OUT THE TOP OF THOSE JEANS

  • 11KAP

    Some of yall angry, fire-breathing negroes need love in ya life. you don’t have to take the music so personal, even if it is from your region. ok? Go get a back rub or something. It will be alright. don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit, my nigga. Relax. You can only be so hard on a keyboard, so don’t even worry yourself. Don’t talk shit to people you don’t know. Show a little respect, man. Have some manners, homeboy.

  • moh.p

    yoo respect to every1 who made it out their man…miam look like one cool ass city..i wish i lived their mann..i live in a broke ass neighborhood in UK..daamn, one day i gotta visit miami

  • fred

    the man is walking around with 38 double d’s
    CMON ROSS!hahahahahha mix in a shirt mayne!

  • Clayton

    Ross’s breasts are bigger than Trina’s, but she’s still looking alright. The South is still repping on everybody else; just like 1999-2000 with Cash Money Records. If you don’t like it just stop looking. And suck your own balls.

  • theTruth

    i can’t believe how niggaz hatin on dis page. DAMN. are y’all serious. why y’all can’t just listen to whateva float ya boat & keep goin. if you don’t like da channel, turn da station. aint nobody makin y’all listen 2 deez folks. ok. and Ross knew what he was doin when took dat picture. dude knw he aint got a six pack & frankly i think dude really didn’t give a finger in the middle. he knew folks was gon talk about it anyway cuz da folks who claim they don’t hate be the main ones doin it. y’all can hate on dat dude all y’all want, datz why he PAID & da niggaz hatin on dude aint even got gas in they whip. church!

  • 4Play

    hmmmmmm…fuck, tell you wat, i havnt seen tits that good since i was on tha ‘eye candy’ page. ( ill tap that ass ) HAHAHAHAhAHAHAHAhAhA, i can see it all now… Ric nd Khaled on da playgirl cover…

  • Jon Dog

    I had to weigh in on this. Who gives a flying fuck where the artists are from. Can’t u see that shit music is coming at us from all coasts. Hip Hop is dead man. I can’t tell the differece between a NY beat or a South beat anymore, and I love the West Coast, but damn. To be honest, the only music I’m feelin’ these days comes from the Mid West. Hip Hop usto be a fuckin’ art for man, and escape for mothafuckaz!!!!! Now it’s just garbage. Who killed hip hop??? I think XXL should do some research and do a whole issue on the shit, we need to save this shit ya’ll!!! QUIT HATIN’!!
