Rick Ross to Release M.I.Yayo Documentary in March

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  51 Comments

Miami native Rick Ross has inked a distribution deal with Boston-based Traffic Entertainment for the release of his documentary M.I.Yayo. The film explores the billion-dollar cocaine industry that helped build the rapper’s hometown by examining the city’s 10 most notorious drug lords. Director Chris Larceny has compared it to the wildly popular documentary Cocaine Cowboys, but with a greater emphasis on the actions and mind states of the people intimately involved in the business. The film uses news footage, first hand accounts and interviews with the friends and families of those involved to document the influx of money into Miami in the 80’s and 90’s and its effects on the city. “When I was touring in Europe with Port of Miami, the media question of the day was, “What is the ‘other side of the bridge?’” Ross explained in a statement announcing the release. “People all over the world want to know about this side of Miami, I give it to them in M.I.Yayo. “It is incredibly shocking, and many think Miami is South Beach, that’s it. The world wants to know the real deal and this is it with M.I.Yayo.” Ross will be hosting screenings of the film in cities across the country, and it will be available for purchase through music retailers, the iTunes Music Store and maybachmusicgroup.com.

    word on the street is that this movie puts a lot of people out there that still have open cases….word is also that boobie called up rick ross to kill the whole project…maybe rick ross got the idea for the movie when he was a corrections officer here in miami. yea thats right the BOSS was a corrections officer…

  • My Effin’ Opinion

    The world wants to know the real deal and this is it with M.I.Yayo.

    ^^^

    No it doesn’t. Only ignorant Muthafuckas who think drug-dealin’ and hip hop go hand in hand.

    “The film explores the billion-dollar cocaine industry that helped build the rapper’s hometown by examining the city’s 10 most notorious drug lords”

    ^^^^^^

    More ignorance … Why don’t they examine the 10 most positive individuals in that community that helped to lift Miami from the ‘out-of-control’ drug and murder haven it once was.

    People focusing on the wrong shit. Just cuz you watch a movie about real gangsta and real drug dealers doesn’t make you people any more gully. Instead of tryna be like and worshipping them fools who ended up dead or in jail, be your own man.

    I can’t wait for the Real Freeway Ricky Ross to get outta jail and punch this fat nigga in the face for using his likeness to get people to think he a “boss”.

    • DETROIT

      Lmao at this shit…how are like 90% of these dudes black? this nigga is corny…everyone knows that we don’t fly no planes or make any of the REAL doe!

      • Jason Murk

        I’m black, I went to college, and I make real money. How can you say that black people don’t “fly planes” or “make any of the REAL doe?”

        Brah, do you know how ignorant you sound right now?

  • jg420

  • niggafrommemphis

    THATS HOW WEDO INSIDE FLO-RIDA I MEAN FLORIDA, ROSS IS ONE HEALTHY LOOKIN NIGGA UM.

  • niggafrommemphis@rivi

    HEEEELLLL NAW!I just looked it up myself and he was a corrections officer.Well ain’t that a bitch?I ain’t neva heard him rap about that shit before.

  • niggafrommemphis

    I ain’t ridin on the nigga,I’m just tellin the truth.When you look at his pictures long enough,with them damn shades on and lookin “hard”,he look like a busta,straight up.And these poor little kids want to be a boss like him,flossin in XXl about how much he spends on kush and shit one day and playin Santa clause the next.You on some shit rick.I’d have more respect for a nigga bein hisself than being an image.THe Real Rick Ross had (and has)waaaaaay mo class than that nigga does.He wasn’t flossin and being pretty and shit.He was the one who made crack cocaine possible and all he wanted to do with his cheese was uplift the community the best he could.He was as hard as they came and was a gentleman,somethin these young niggas don’t know nothin about,probably becuz they are some crack babies.Rick,start tellin the truth in yo records man,you ain’t impressin no real niggas,I know I’m not the only one.

    • HAWAIIAN

      big lol at you homey, acting like the real Rick Ross was some kind of community hero, with you sayin faggotry like this:

      >>>”He was the one who made crack cocaine possible and all he wanted to do with his cheese was uplift the community the best he could.He was as hard as they came and was a gentleman”<<<<

      damn homey, you sayin dude was trying to “uplift” his community with the drug money he made EXPLOITING his community? you got it all messed up brah.

  • TRIZZY

    NO RESPECTABLE PERSON LIKES RICK ROSS,THAT NIGGA IS GARBAGE.

  • WIkyBoii

    WOW!!. THIS MAN REALLY WISHES HE WAS A REAL DRUGPIN, HE MUST LOOK UP TO THESE MEN, FUCKIN’ POSER BASTARD

  • Fire

    Yeah, it’s sad how some people have a fetish for fantasizing about, condoning, and acting like drug dealers. Co-sign whoever said that we’re focusing on the wrong things.

  • iLL

    I love docu’s however from what i can see; this will highlight the street level interactions of the D game in Miami. Not to say it wont be interesting, however i think everyone who wants to see this need to start with Cocaine Cowboys to see where it all originated from and see what it morphs to on this docu. I will check this out mos def.

  • MIAMI NIGGA

    Yall niggas are jumping overboard talking about dry snitching. In from Miami and I can tell you everyone shown in that clip is either dead or doing life sentences. Some of them niggas like Boobie got like 3 life sentences because of they were so violent. That nigga aint snitching on nobody he aint that stupid. And yes most of them are black because he telling the hood side. And yes they all were millionaires believe it or not. These people were traffinking state to state not just Miami>>>>just watch the DVD before you hate

  • Valdez

    man, i’m an artist myself… but the more and more i listen to these “rappers” the more i HATE “rap” music. what the fuck is hip hop coming to?

    on the real tho, hearing these kinda niggas inspires me to stay focused and DEFINITELY stay real with this music shit.

    …makes the real hip hop fans moreso appreciate the lupe’s & common’s of the world.

    i’m just glad that the change is already slowly, but surely taking place. all this “rap” bullshit is on it’s way out the door!!!

    wouldn’t NONE of these fake rappers be eatin if Pac was still around.

    damn…

    Baltimore in this… we gone get our turn sooner or later (hopefully).

  • Mr. Brown

    Once again we have a young man glorifying the distribution of illegal drugs in the United States. I will say fuck Rick Ross & any other rapper who does the same. As a young man who has dabbled in the drug scene myself I never knew of anyone who honestly wanted to sell drugs, that isnt a way of life they wanted. I never said “I want” to be a drug dealer, dealing drugs is or was a last resort not a summer job. So for the sake of huaminty stop glorifiying the distribution of drugs.

  • Streets
