Rick Ross travels to the depths of New Orleans’ in the video for “Hold Me Back”, the street single off his God Forgives, I Don’t LP. Rozay visits the people of Calliope Projects for inspiration tying into the song’s title and catchy hook. Swizz Beatz, Wale, Stalley, and N.O native Mia-X all make cameos. Ross’ GFID album arrives this Tuesday, but you can pre-order right now on iTunes and Amazon.
Watch the gritty black-and-white video after the jump…..

It’s hard to enjoy William when you know all the facts about his upbringing. Some say it’s only entertainment but to me hip hop is more than that.
Also fed up with hearing these types of track’s.

Hmmm what if Rick Ross is just a pawn used by the US government to continue to promote negativity in black neighborhoods to keep the prisons filled. Something about him just seems odd to me now. Something ain’t right with this one.

did we really need the pussy hoe VERSE? Just when you want to annoint him he pulls this shit and just creates a chant that is destined to be in some youngin’s mouth and not in their brain…he still doing good things with his crew but that verse should have been checked at the door and never allowed to leave the building…That third verse is the result of him making enough money where no one felt the need to tell him that was not hot!

Ross or rather Taj failed immensely at recreating Juvenile’s Ha video
July 29th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
Yup, its the same type of track over and over again.. He ass man…
And because of his fat nasty-ness I predict he will be dead in 10yrs!

July 29th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
I only saw swizz and gunplay in the video
July 29th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
I video rather tight. It was intense and it brought da song out. Now I agree wit comment about dat last bridge. Like really why was that in there.
July 29th, 2012 at 7:16 pm

Funniest shit I heard on twitter about this video was “I bet it smelled like slavery and EBT”
July 29th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
This is just wrong. I don’t blame bet for not showing this crap. Str8 up bullshit. the lyrics, the video. sigh!

I enjoy Rick Ross’s music but it’s getting redundant. Deez ni@@@ wanna hold me back sounds like Deez H***s be actin up and these ni@@#s be letting em. There isnt any substance or reason for his songs. The MMG crew seems to freestyle their lyrics and it shows.

This shit is a fuckin classic song and a classic video..song/video gives a great depiction of the ghettos of america. I just see things differently..i guess
July 30th, 2012 at 1:58 am
Please…I can see the clubs going straight buck right now… I can tell you the type to be at the crib and beat your meat.. probably dont even go out to the club. This musik right here is gonna tear the club down to pieces.. pussy hoe!
July 30th, 2012 at 1:59 am
Damn I am outta here..this place is hater central..
July 30th, 2012 at 3:52 am
But like MMG would probably tell u…you seem to be on DEEZ nuts!! Cause u loving it! Loll
July 30th, 2012 at 11:45 am
hmmm 3 seizures in one day for a person that is 36yrs old is scary.. Combine that with a coke problem, a drinking problem and obesity issues AND a pregnant womans eating habits i.e.Honeybuns and Cheese an you get a nigga thats gne be in a pine box by age 45!
July 30th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
I hope whoever wants to hold him back succeeds.
July 30th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
I thought the Lex Luger-sounding beats and repetitive chorus was Waka’s thing….
July 30th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
The people shooting this video were mostly white, watch the behind the scenes vid posted on here a week or so ago… just to add fodder to your conspiracy theory. Also, ‘Deez niggaz caint hold my snacks!” LOL

Not a pawn for the government, a pawn for the devil. This sound and style gets darker and more demonic with each track.
July 30th, 2012 at 9:41 pm
Maybe, but I think the government is a bit more realistic than the “devil”
July 30th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Not surprising at all a lot of the behind the screens people are white.
July 30th, 2012 at 10:54 pm
Stop it!

The highlight of this entire video was seeing Mia X speak in the BTS vid. The song is simple and the video is generic. Its well shot but it’ll be forgotten in a few weeks. Like most of this album….
