Z-Ro is in a world by himself. And by that, we’re not just referring to his unparalleled craftsmanship. Unbeknownst to many, the Guerilla Maab vet has released more albums than most Houston rappers. On the eve of his 20th LP, slated to drop on Rap-A-Lot this fall, SOHH Rizoh zeroes in on Joseph McVeigh to discuss his recent label woes, his memories of Big Hawk, and the reason he’s ditching his music hustle for good. Is the man who once ruled radioland with “2 Many Niggas†and “I Hate U†no longer in love with the game? Let the truth be told.
SOHH Rizoh: I hear you’ve got a new album coming out on Rap-A-Lot this year?
Z-Ro: Yeah, I’ve got a new album coming out. It ain’t got a title to it yet. We’re still in the process of choosing the songs. It’s a lot of grown man music on there.
SOHH Rizoh: You chose the name Z-Ro to sort of represent the struggleâ€"coming from nothing and seeing a blank future ahead of you. How’s the connection between the name and the artist today?
Z-Ro: It’s really still the same thing. Why I really chose Z-Roâ€"like you saidâ€"remind me of the struggle. Not only that, sometimes beyond your own expectations... No matter how good shit gets out here, I can always know…like, “OK, don’t trip out because you came from nothing.†So, it’s really here to remind me and to keep me humble, so I can keep on trying. Don’t get no fucked up attitude like most of the rappers I see out here today. I still go to concerts and shit, because I bought CDs my goddamn self. I’m really trying not to be like the shit I’m looking at today. I look at muthafuckas on stage with 1000 people with them, and when you wanna shake their hands, they don’t wanna touch you. These are the muthafuckas that made you who you are, buying your shit, giving you soundscans.
SOHH Rizoh: Absolutely. Speaking of concerts, I don’t remember seeing you at the Big Hawk benefit concert at Club Blue.
Z-Ro: Nah, I ain’t go to that bullshit. It’s a good thing that they did it. From my understanding, that whole evening was just so that his wife and his kids could be straight. I already knew what it was gonna be. When they say Screwed Up Click, there’s a lot of muthafuckas that’s gonna go up there, cause honestly there’s a whole lot of people out here who really think they’re in the S.U.C. Either they knew [DJ]Screw or they used to kick it with him. When Screw was alive, he inducted every muthafucka into the S.U.C. Today, some of the new rappers out here don’t really know who…let me put it like this: You’ve got a S.U.C. for music and you’ve got a S.U.C. for the streets. It’s like some people used to be there when niggas was making tapes, but they don’t rap. A lot of the new rappers don’t know who some of those O.G. members are. And I ain’t gonna lie to you; I don’t know everybody in the click. It was like Screw put me and [Lil’] Flip into the click before he died. I know the rappers in the shit but, I didn’t go because I know how the shit gets at the concert when somebody makes an announcement: “Everybody get off the stage except the S.U.C.†You don’t know who you just called to the stage. Niggas like Stick and Tone that didn’t rap, they ain’t getting’ off the stage because they’re Screwed Up Click too. I didn’t go for that reason. Then, I didn’t go because a couple of people that put the show together, I don’t fuck with them
SOHH Rizoh: I feel you. I thought that the whole event was disrespectful to John Hawkins. What’s your best memory of Hawk?
Z-Ro: You couldn’t find anybody like Big Hawk man. It didn’t matter what the situation was…I mean the man died with $102 in his pocket. He died broke than a muthafucka but when you came around him, his personality made him rich as fuck. Hawk was just like a beacon of life. You couldn’t be mad around Hawk. He was a leader and to me, he was the second coming of DJ Screw.
SOHH Rizoh: Back to Z-Ro, you’ve been in the game more than 10 years. You’ve definitely attained legendary status here in Houston. Why do you think you’re still slept on…nationally?
Z-Ro: There’s not enough majors down here. You’ve got a couple of them, but, it’s not enough for everybody that’s trying to do this rap shit. They still sleep on a nigga like me.
SOHH Rizoh: The music jams. Personally, I’ve never met anyone that didn’t like a Z-Ro album
Z-Ro: It jams because I’m really doing the shit that I talk about. Personally, I target the struggle. I target poverty. In a nutshell, I target fucked-up life, and that’s the type of life I had. Till this day, I still ain’t got no muthafuckin’ money, you know what I’m sayin. I can’t afford to just leave my house right quick to go to L.A. and try to shop my music, because I’m worried about my light bill right now. I’m worried about my rent right now. I’m with a label that’s got a name and some fame down here. But, the truth is, I only get show money.
SOHH Rizoh: Why’s that?
Z-Ro: I can’t really tell you why. I don’t know none of that business shit. I go to the studio, do my shows; you know what I’m saying.
SOHH Rizoh: Is it challenging being on Rap-A-Lot?
Z-Ro: You could say that. I can only speak for myself; I don’t know the next person’s situation. All I know is my situation. My work ethic is unquestionable. Before I came to Rap-A-Lot, I was dropping three records a year…independently. I drop one album a year now. I’m used to flooding the market with my shit. That’s what I used to do to stay afloat, not because I’m trying to make muthafuckas out here respect my grind. It’s just that I got bills all the day. To tell you the truth, it ain’t just Rap-A-Lot, it’s everybody that I deal with; I get crumbs here and there. I ain’t never really got what I feel I deserve, so if I’m not given what I’m expecting from one area of the music, I gotta try to do it from another area of the music. In terms of me not poppin’ nationally yet, it’s gotta be whoever distributing my shit. I go a lot of places to do concerts and muthafuckas is on my shit. I spend the night down there and I go to their record store, and ain’t none of my shit in they store, you know. The music is jamming, it’s just that people are going to the store and not finding my shit.
And, if you've never heard of Z-Ro, get familiar:
Trae ft. Z-Ro - Let Me Live My Life (Hawk makes a cameo towards the end)
Z-Ro - I Hate You (Part of this was shot while he was still locked up)

Z-Ro the language, I know I curse, but my goodness. Keep it professional.
On a real everything z-ro speaks is da truth. Dont stop now,time brings about change. something will come through.like he said u da legend in the H cant nobody deny that. already
tamia
dont hate he keepin gangsta.
Princezz, I m not hating, Im just saying. But, I agree with what he is saying.
Do ya thang Z-Ro. I appreciate dudes like that for keeping it straight and just flat out admitting he struggles with his bills and that he's trying hard as hell to get his. On the flip side you have niggas like Mike Jones, who I just read somewhere else that he was throwing Ice Age chains with real diamonds into the crowd at a show, and he doesn't have as much money as he thinks he does. It's borrowed. I don't know what's up with Rap-A-Lot but I think those Fed investigations have killed them. Whatever the case somebody get them some help.
Z-ro dang... sad situation when bullshit artist got the stage and get the paper and the real ones thats doin it big gotta get the bad deals. If Z-ro could get his shit right, i bet all those Beyotches that hate on The South from where ever would shut the f*ck up.
Yea and tamia shut up. haha
Z-RO... can make you cry on one track, and make you wanna whoop ass on the next. The mark of a great rapper. He is slept on, and that is a atrocsity. If you've listened to his albums, you feel you know him, his heart, and his pain. Z-Ro if you're readin' this the world feels you, though the industry may not, but our voices will eventually unite and force them to work with you. That will result in a ride to the top for you, but we need you to be patient and most of all don't quit working. We need you in this game. Hang around, keep it 100, don't stop now, your fans ain't ready to stop, so please don't you stop either.
Unfortunately thats how the music biz is. If you dont know the business side of it you're gonna get raped.
I hope Z-Ro maintains cuz thats one of the realest EVER!
Keep Ya Head up RO
THA KING HAS SPOKEN!
thats how rap alot do things..Every 1 from Texas now that...The always been slow boogie..Ro new that going in..How could he not....When have Rap Alot dropped more then 5 records in a year...They had Tela, Yuk, Face, Do or Die, 5th ward boys, Geto Boys..Thats 6 and they coudnt get em all on the strets at once..Instead they drop Tela an the Black Monks....Or the RNDS...Thats RapAlot an they aint changin....
THE COLDEST NIGGA SINCE PAC, I PROMISE I'M DOWN HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS AND PEOPLE BELIEVE ME THIS NIGGA IS THE TRUTH AND A LIVING LEGEND
KEEP YA HEAD UP MY NIGGA AND IF YOU GETTING LOCKED UP LIKE THE SREETS IS SAYING REALLY KEEP YA HEAD UP
ONCE AGIAN THE NIGGA IS ON SOME REAL SHIT AND THE TRUTH
"Till this day, I still ain’t got no muthafuckin’ money, you know what I’m sayin......
SOHH Rizoh: Why’s that?
Z-RO: I can’t really tell you why. I don’t know none of that business shit. I go to the studio, do my shows; you know what I’m saying. "
I love Z-Ro..one of the dopest outta H-town but as you can see, he said it. He doesn't know the business side. You have to at least pay attention to the basics. Just wanting to be an artist and not deal with your business will keep you broke. He puts in the work obviously,he should be rewarded for that. If somebody is reading this and knows a good manager, attorney somebody that can help Z-Ro get where he deserves to be...not worrying about how he gonna pay his light bill..please reach out to him.
peace
Damn, I feel bad for this nigga. 10 years and he can't pay his light bill? Rap A Lot's obviously dickin him. He doesn't need to quit, he needs a new label! P.S. My birthday's on the 12th, 6 more days till my birthday!
If you think that Houston is all about gold grills and candy paint, go listen to any Z-Ro album and that K-Rino "Time Traveler."
Z-Ro is amazing on the microphone. No bullshit.
Z-Ro is my favorite artist of all time, but the problem wit Z-Ro is he mad at the world, Z-Ro disses every label he get on he jumps form label to label and wonders why its so hard to find these 20 CD's trust me I kno cuz I lost is first two CD's it took 7 months to find the second and still can find is first CD going on 1 year, when a label owns the rights to your music u will not make any profit if u diss them, unless u wanna lose more money in court...Z-RO wants money but it seems like he don't read his contracts if he learned more about the business aspect of rap he probably would have more money... he's a legend but untill he learns more about business a finances he will always be broke, I'd hate to see u retire because of stupidity...The King of the Ghetto still gonna be the best in my book because most rap nowadays is bullshit and I can still put on any Z-RO CD today no matter who shitty ass CD comes out and it will shit bang harder than anybody else water down bullshit (tights beats with bad flow)
already! he is the coldest rapper out of tha H and all those others gettin there shine on now. but not for long i agree with chevy g tha H aint all about candy paint and grillz listen to that ro. his time gone come and shut tha rest of them niggaz down. (wit that commercial shit)he is tha realest.
LET THA TRUTH BE TOLD!
Chevy G,
It's funny that you mentioned Rino's "Time Traveler". You should try and pick up a free copy of Envy next month, I gave that album a good review in the August issue. It's the type of music these other artists need to strive for.
Where has this nigga been all my life wow, he's amazing, i never knew Z-RO, WAS THIS DOPE MAYN,
IT'S SAD HE'S BROKE AFTER 10 + YEARS , KINDA ReMINDS ME OF THE lOX aka D-Block
FUCK WHACK WALL STRIPPERS
Z-RO SHOULD HAVE MADE A VIDEO OFF THE KINGS OF THE SOUTH ALBUM... HE REALLY WENT OFF ON THERE.. STR8 WRECKING T.I.
WHO DA HELL IS Z RO? IM FROM DA SOUTH AND DONT REMEMBER HIS UGLY ASS....FROM DA RAPALOT DAYS. ALL I KNOW OF HIM IS THE "GET THROWED" HOOK. AND IT WASNT THE BEST HOOK OF 2005 SO STOP SUCKIN' UP SOHH....
Where has this nigga been all my life wow, he's amazing, i never knew Z-RO, WAS THIS DOPE MAYN,

Z-RO HAS THE STREETS OF HTOWN ON LOCK.. AND WILL PUT ANY RAPPER IN CHECK..
THATS THE TRUTH
Well Zro aint go be doing to much of shyt now...His ass cant stay out of jail.Yes he's gone back to jail with a 4 year sentence. He is a good rapper but like some one said maybe he is on the wrong label. Yeah I think Rap A Lot messing over him
Another broke rapper from Houston, I thought dudes was doing 100K independent down there , out the trunk??????, c'mon does houston really need a blog????? I'm tired of Broke N8ggaz from Houston crying about they ain't got no paper!!!!!!!! Stop drinking cough syrup like it's beer and maybe you slow muthaF8ckas could catch up!!!!
Look, Z-ro is far from broke...it comes to what he thinks he should have...In his mind hes broke cuz he aint gettin what he deserve....Big difrence...T.O said he gota feed his family so he wanted to renig on his contract..64 million....Ro n no millinoaire but he got money...Him ,K Rino an face the tightest with the lyrics in all of H..Ro Jus bad with his biz..Period...As far as his masters, he own sum of them..These 20 records he talk about, sum of them were undergrounds so all he gota do is repress them...Z-ro always been the kinda of guy that want to feel sorry for him, for what...Dude could make a couple hundred thousnad a year off features and undergounds....Not a whole lot of people can say that...I think the only label that truly fuked him was Presidental...The reason yall coulnt find sum of his earlir recordings is cuz his firts record was short pressed, 3d2 an Rise were as well. Then he along with Trae got into sum legal issues with presidental..So those got pulled then the undergrounds, RIAA was shuttin all of us down on that..raidin stores shyt like that..Now with his name were it is now u can find his shyt in Select Best buys an FYI an almost all the mom an pops...He jus aint gettin a cut..Sad real sad
Yo personally I never have heard z-ro music....but let me tell you one thing he is a straight up bitch...3 years back he was on a double xl magazine talking bullshit about 50 calling him a snitch on a track with scarface...turns out scarface called up 50 and told him that was old verse and he dint even know z-ro...about him being broke then damn dog go hustle get ur azz a job...or just wise up and the cash u get....use it on a manager....that's his fault dude should have wised up
POPCORN TEN-FIFTY
doch210, da nigga said he worried about his light bill and rent. last time i checked that means you are broke and a rapper shouldn't be worried about no light bill.
Wonder have Z-ro heard about Berklee Music online. I suggest he take a course, Inside the record Industry, might learn something.
Reggieshotta
ATL WESTSIDE Zone1
@@64$colonge, trust me he aint got no trouble payin his light bill..hes plotican...Look back at all his interviews, same story difrent day...
@@Wake Up, ur alittle bit off, that verse was old but Face told 50 that..He never said he didnt no who Z-Ro was..Every body in the game in Texas no RO...Both Face an Bun Bs verses were old..They wasnt shootin slugs at 50, jus RO, an that was behind Big Moe an J...J riden with Suge an JA so he jus got into it jus for the sak of it.....
Bun B ft Everybody - Get Throwed (Best chorus of 2005 courtesy of Z-Ro)
No doubt about that....hope nigga aint freal about leavin the game
Let's get this man to the masses. How can Hip-Hop be dead with this dude around? I have been telling people in Carolina about dude since 99. I was just like yo this cat is gonna bust. Man he needs a break...4 Real. HOLLAR!
z-ro is doper than tupac. pac could spit but z-ro is an OG on the mic. talent wise pac would not be able to fuck with z-ro.
^^^^^^^^
I WOULDNT SAY ALL THAT
Doch210, ro ain't makin no money. you heard him say all he get is show money. and it only cost about a $1,000 to get ro to do a show and promoters ain't just beaten down his door for shows. outside of h-town there is no real demand for his music or a real major would've picked him or bought out his contract wit rap-a-lot. and he knew betta than to sign wit rap-a-lot their reputation ain't no different now than it was back when he signed. ro's music is to depressin look at his interviews which is another reason why he will neva blow up. niggas always wanna compare this depressin ass nigga to pac but at least pac knew how to have fun too.
Nobody wants to be like mike!
He's a depressed lil white boy from Alabama who gets bullied by niggas in his school
He's mad cuz the black kids at his school wont allow him to ride wit em
He's one of those reject bitches who cant find a friend to talk to.
What's wrong mike? Cant find a girl to take to the prom? Oh I forgot they dont go with 16 year old freshmen.
Mike mad cuz he got his ass whomp for saying nigga.
He doesnt have any friends at school what so ever.
He thinks he can fit in the black culture by bootlegin Lil Flops CD's.
He thinks hes black all because he listens to rap but again the black kids at his school still wont except him.
He's a poor cunt.

All so true!
Not to be hating on z-ro, but where in the fuck is devin????
I GUESS WE KNOW WHO ISNT IN SUMMER SCHOOL RIGHT NOW..... LOL
THERE ARE COMPARISONS TO 2PAC WITH ZRO NOT ONLY BECAUSE BOTH HAVE SEVERAL SUICIDAL THOUGHTS SONGS, AND DEPPRESSING SONGS... AND WHOOP AZZ SONGS.. BUT THERE ARE SOME SONGS OUT THERE, WHERE HIS VOICE DOES ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE 2PAC...
A MIDDLE SCHOOL DUDE KEEPS TALKNIG MIDDLE SCHOOL TRASH.. GROW UP THEN TALK LIKE A MAN.. AND MAYBE ILL ADDRESS YOU..
UNTIL THEN.. I DONT WASTE MY TIME WITH TINY BOPPERS
HAHA
hoodlum: you're right, i've said that for a long time, people react like you're crazy but it's true if you have listened to all of his music and can speak from experience
wake up: yeah z-ro went after fifty but not like the "beef" you're used too. if you know z-ro's music and his personality that's just who he is. bottom line. he was addressing the situation as he felt, if you're 50 cent, or guy who cut him off in traffic he's gonna ride on you either way, he wasn't beefin' to get on.
Look, I dont no where ur from..In Texas every one wanna be a rapper..I mean every 1...Whenu drop here, the first thing u need is names..If aint no names aint no buyers..U need features to get people to pick up ur record...RO could do 10 versues a month an make 7 or 8 gs...Now with him birng under contract with rapalot not sure how it would work..I got a 2 verses from Trae an hes under contract with them so it can be done...Im not arguing that he aint gettin paid right, im sayin he aint as deperate as he makes out to be...Im broke, is his "I BEEN SHOT NINE TIMES"...Thats jus RO....
Look at west coast, sum of them live off features alone..Drop a record here an there an do 20 features a year...shyt adds up...
Can we have one blog were it aint
rip htownmike..Jus 1
ANSWER IS.. NO....
I DID HEAR ZRO WENT AFTER 50.. BUT ITS KIND OF HARD TO GO AFTER SOMEONE WHO IS SURROUNDED BY BODY GUARDS, COPS, AND ARMOR CARS
ALL SOUTHERN RAPPERS SUCK DICK!

I respect zro he is one of my favorite artist I hope he goes gold or platinum one day it's well do. The cat is a cool rapper adn I can relate to his songs he reminds me of face I feel their music because they speak on real issues and they balance their music like they might kick gangsta shit but they kick some knowledge also they give you a balance kind of like this artist from jacksonville name swordz I like artist like that because they are not talking about bullshit also much props to paris also in the bay I like artist who give you the real and issues not just artist who talk about bs.

F*CK OUTTA HERE QUEERBOOY
the only one rich on rapalot is j prince
even face said he wasnt gettin paid..
Damn...
I never really heard anything from Z-Ro, up until now... and I gotta say that that nigga is i-ight. He raps similar to 'Pac, and has the jail record to back him up. That makes him real. So now that he has some publicity for me and the others who read this blog, then he should really reconsider quitting the rap game. He brings to the table a different perspective than EVERYBODY still at SwishaHouse, so that alone gives him a disposition. While Houston and the rest of the South has major airplay, he needs to shop around and find a new recording label that is hungry to produce Southern artists (fuck Wack-A-Lot, because they don't promote their artists properly) and get an independent lawyer, who's sole purpose is to look out for the best interest of his clients. Not the record label.
Because the Titanic of Houston will sink quickly, without a diverse array of artists being promoted.
u can't fault ro for not knowing the business side..a lot of hungry rappers don't. if you re a starving artist u are not about to go up to a record label demanding shit..you too hungry and when your hungry u gone take what u can get. now ro is seeing that its fucked up after going so long with broken promises. and he never said that he couldn't pay his light bill...he said he can't fuck off time to go out of town when he need to be grinding at home to get his paper to pay his rent and light bill...haters! and further more I heard he got 10 years in jail in san antonio...free z ro
POPCORN - TEN FIFTY
I heard z-ro stuff its cool. Just not a big fan of the singing on hooks. For example the I hate you hook,But his lyrics is straight.
But John Wayne! I seen this dude in concert he is one of the best rappers I have heard out of Houston since face. Its true Texas don't have majors around the corner like NY, but this dude is getting our attention.
Trust me he will be the next to blow out of houston
trae is the next out of houston to blow up
What it wuz cuz,,,52Hoover keep it groovin z-ro.... Z- ro shyt slamming...when niggaz hate on what they ddon't know they are ignorant azz hell.. z-ro go hard.. i like slim thug cuz he da truth in his shyt..he know the business so he on top of niggaz you don't thank he on top off.. Z-ro is not gonna quit...he will get the knowledge..he just gotta 'ce' willin to listen..
Versatile:
I feel yah on that...but you can't compare him to swishahouse..plus he (Z-ro) is a direct enemy of swishahouse..Z-ro is SUC....This is how I rate 3rd coast rappers out tha 'H'. They may say things that are similar. The way that they bring it and how they bring it is something I look for..How they ride the beat and change up a little..Listen to the underground slim thug or his second album coming...hejust hit yal with a little intro and the producton was a little wack but his words was on point. Big Pokey's first record Hardest Pit in tha Litter, Lil Keke is back, Fat Pat...the old chamillionaire...K reno...dem boyz kill..the old Z-ro and Trae....That shyt is killa...
first of all,h town mikes bitch ass and that other nigga need to put on skirts. Second, i been jammin ro since look what you did to me came out in 96. i agree it is ridiculous that he knows nothing about the business aspect, especially after 2o lps, that is his fault. But, this nigga really is one of the coldest. I mean, him, street military, pat, hawk, rino, lil o,3-2, mike d, al d,geto boys, devin, botany, fuck man the list goes on. I aint puttin down east coast or west, i respect music that deserves to be respected, niggas talkin like odb is better, and g unit, and fuck the south, man that is just ignorant people tryin to bring other niggas down cause they already in the dirt. It is truly sad that the supposed "sound of the south" belongs to cake ass bitches like mike jones and paull wall, fuck swisha house, fuck micheal watts,fuck o g ron c and anybody that uses "screwed" on their records. Screw is the true king of the south and any nigga from houston knows that, especially us southside playas. RO gonna get his time and so will everyone else. any of you bitch ass niggas wanna come at me do it, real recognize real
oh yeah, i forgot pokey, ke, big steve, and pharoah.

Cody: you sound so stupid...i feel what you saying but that is just like saying every rapper is wack because they were not the first rappers...rap has been perfected so has screw...everyone is doing there own thang....there is real and generic...take a dvd player for example..who came out first..do you have the original dvd maker brand if not you wack... think before you write dumb azz
Hey all....I'm back!!
Just wanted to drop some general info for all the Z-Ro fans and haters:
First off Joseph is doing fine. everyone is speculating he is leaving the industry due to money issues, promo issues, label issues, etc. he is leaving due to the fact that he is tired of trying to "make it" in the game.
Joe grew up with ties to Mo City, South Park, Sunnyside, etc. He has always been, like myslef, a "South Side" represnta! He is a member of my church and I have known him since forever! I was about 3-4 when Sis. McVeigh (Matthews) passed. I vaugely remember her, but I remember that Joe was never the same. You have to remember, this is the same person that was left motherless as a young boy. Joe used to always sing "God Put a Rainbow in the Sky" and would make you want to cry listnening to him. (I bet ya'll didn't know he was a singer WELL BEFORE he was a rapper!) He was never a person who got into any kind of trouble, he just liked to hustle, sing, and think about his mother. His Aunt Sandra and his grandmother Dorothy are faithful members of my church and whenever he's not "too busy" he has been known to drop by and catch a sermon.
Joe is a person who is almost always misunderstood. Don't get offended if you meet him and speak and all he does is speak back and nothing else. He is a naturally quiet person until provoked. I have never seen him out of line,ok, I might have once or twice, but nothing too bad! LOL
Please continue to keep my big brother in your prayers. So what he's about to do a 4 year run? So what this may or may not be his last album? So what he might not be "rich" since he has been in the game for a min? At the end of the day, he goes to sleep just like the rest of us! He's only human, peeps!
F.Y.I.:
At the end of the "day" (life) it doesn't matter how much you make, how many cars you drive, how much ice you rock or how many hoes you've f***ed! It matters what kind of life you've lived!
shut up on the comment bout keep in professional........this the realest man in houston and he aint bubblin on the national scene the man got a reason to curse he aint gotta keep it professional for no1!!!!
keep doin what u doin mane
ACTUALLY Z-RO CLAIMS MOE CITY BUT HE WAS BORN IN IDAHO AND MOVED WITH HIS MOMS TO THE SW WHEN HE WAS TWO, SO HE'S NOT A NATIVE TO HOUSTON
One of the realest in the game. My nigga...ZRo
dont pay attention to htownmike
its a fake nigga posting stupid stuff..
lol....funny...wassup miguel
WHOEVER THAT FAKE CAT IS USIN' MY NAME IS CAN GET SPANKED BY DADDY CUZ I'M A HANDCUFF PLAYA WHO DON'T FART AROUND. I'LL GET HIFFEY ON YOU, YOU PUNK.
IM THE REAL MIGUEL
NOT THIS F@G BEFORE ME!!
KLEB IS G@Y
anyone that got something to say is weak.z-ro is the only thug ass nigga in the rap game.now that hes going to jail,i dont even wanna listen to rap anymore.i might as well listen to some fucking gay ass alan jackson or something like that.cuz there aint nothing realer then ro.he dont need no big record deal.that niggawill blow up on a low budget label
**Without the notion of zero, commerce, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and industry would have been unthinkable.**
So don't hate cuz your ass ain't on his level. I love his albums, and I recognize his struggle. I hope that his next albums use his talent to open up the mainstreams eyes to the corrupt government and how life is so much different from music videos. Cuz he has the skills and it seems like the right heart.
Z-ro everyone loves you and I know he has to know that. Ro has something special about him and you know he has definately got God in him, so in due time, he will get his. As a female, he is my favorite rapper EVER and he makes you feel like you know him and makes you remember how you felt when certain things happened in your life. not many rappers can do that, rappers nowadays like mike jones, paul wall have no substance to their music. you can't listen to their whole album like ro's. Their shit is horrible, We need someone real to represent the Lone Star State.
Ro is the realeast in H-town niggas. Yall know that. So just stop the pussy ass bullshitting and give him props, cuz he deserves it. Every album, 1st to last song jamz.....so Z-ro haters need to hop pff dick and get the fuck outta H-town. If you ain't from here then don't even speak on it cuz u don't know what the fuck u are talking about.
ay z-ro, keep ya head up and don't quit doing something you love bro. shit gits hard i know, but God didn't bring you this far to give up now dawg. loves hearing your music, cuz even though i ain't hustle and been out there thuggin, nigga like me done struggled too. don't come across too many real rappers these days. nowadays niggas is all about beats, which is cool at times, but i can actually sit and listen to the words you say and still bob my head to it. don't quit bro. u said it best in one of your songs i still jam to this day, "too many niggas tryin' to take me off of my game". don't let'em do it to you bro.

"In My City"
Z-ro is the reallest rapper in the south and the only reason he aint shining nationally is because hes not commercializing just like screw told him not to do
Yeeeahhhh!! Bout time Z-ro's VIDEO came about my presence!! His muzik make me pimp harder and not give up even tho it's hard sometimes!! -c- u gotta be from that -H- 2 know what it MEANZ 2 KEEP IT TRILL MUCH LOVE TO THE WHOLE H-TWN FAMILY !! S.U.C Dj- Screw started it all and don't 4get that!!
HATAZ BAK BAK that meanz Govt, police proper people who hate cuz they don't understand the word poor!! Everybody mind they own bizznezz cuz thats what its all about MAkin MONEY and mindin they own biznezz!! ONE TIME

I feel the struggle of a real hustler like Z-Ro. His music, helps me keep my head up, if Z-Ro decides to leave Rap-A-Lot, I thinks he'll still get paid! What he need to do is go back independent.
mayne wtf is this,Z-ro is the best rapper in the game t day and becauze of bytch nigguhs he's thinkin of leavin 4 good,too many ppl feel dis nigga.if he goes then u gon see millions of pissed niggaz on da real
I ain't gone even lie, I didn't start jammin Ro until I Hate You came out. I always knew who he was but never really jammed him. But after buying The Life of Joseph McVeigh, I felt this nigga. After that I back tracked and got a lot of his old shit. That nigga to me is like the realest rapper in the H. And niggas that don't agree fuck you.
frist i want say that he's the realest frist of all b/c he speak of the lord and that some real shit.people take the bible for a game,and it's not a game.z-ro trying to get to heaven,it's hard out here trying to maintain.he a kool as nigga people just be fucking with him.z-ro i'm your # 1 fan i'm from louisiana,but i live in flordia now and all i play is your music.people always asking me who that is?i say the realest.when god made u he made u special. 1 loveww
Z-RO and Trae are the kings of the South and just keep coming with more and more Shit
S.L.A.B
Man Z-ro is real everything he spits about is the streets , his life,just keeps it gangsta like big and pac for real. And all these radio stations aren't playing his shit (beside the texas stations cause we don't give a damn) trying to prevent gangsta type rap just let the man speak is mind because right now no one is fucking with him for real.that why i've been going insane lately rolling with my gun off safety thinking that these bitches want to do me can't even relax mack 11 by the jacuzzi

Just thought i would say that zro joseph w. mcvey is in my books the best thing that has ever happened to the music industry i have always been down with him and will continue to be down with him no matter what decisions he makes in his life he has always kept it 100 with his fans and that is why i respect him he tells it like it is and doesnt care what you think. i know he has had a hard life but ZRO always remember that God instilled in you the essence of music so even though it may sometimes feel like things are slow remember God made you and gave you your talent dont ever let anyone tell you differnt only God can judge you, i wish the best for you in life and wherever it may take you, many blessings sent your way. there are still a couple of is real women out there always remember 1 deep

that nicca Ro music kept me alive in Iraq. His jamz was my vent to the world. I am in the army fighting a bullshit war on a regular and it was real to hear him fighting a war in them Htown streets.
Listen up! To all you fake ass pussy foot, bich ass muthafukaz. The people who don't feel Z-RO need to mite as well bend over like like a bitch is suppose to take it. You fucking yourself. Aint nan nigga in the game real as him. You see all these rappaz talking about cars they drive women they fuck, money they got. Kin folk I've been in the game along time (Dope game) there is nothing pretty about it kinfolk. Alot of my niggaz are dead alot are in the pin. All these fakes rap about how cool it is to sell drugs and fuck models everyday. Thats how you know they have never done it. All my real niggaz respond. I mean real niggaz people that been through what Ro has. Z-Ro if you reading playa keep grinding. We all delt some bad cards. My mother was murdered when I was 13yrs old. Kinfolk I found her and took her to the hospital. Thats why I feel it when you say fuck the world. Cuz people don't feel niggaz that actually been through some real shit. Make no mistake Real life is alot more fucked up than this shit these fake as niggaz rap about.

Say i just bought dem albums "1 deep " and dat "Iam still livin" RO just keep yo head up fuck friends fuck da world and fuck anybody whose against yo music. Down in Austin,Texas Z-ro is #1 on every hood and block!!Straight truth!!
zro is one of the real person that i know. he keep it real. he speak the truth.
i feel ya to tha fullest.
All I got to say is if you ain't from Texas/Louisiana why the f**** are you even posting your lil stupid ass comments. Nobody wants to hear what you have to say because there is no way that you can feel Ro or the south period without being down here. You can't feel the shit he's going through cuz you ain't been through it. Hatin ass niggaz and hoes need to keep Ro's name out they mouth and replace it with a foot long d***!!!!
man all of ya'll who hatin on my boy z-ro need to stop cuz thats a true G from tha streets. it's h-town all day if you ask me. that man speak on that real gutta gutta g-type shit that no body ca eva relate to. but z-ro is the coldest and throwedest in tha rap game dead or alive. So when he die he still go be tha best and i meant that!@!!!1
