Rick Ross has just dropped the visuals to the trap anthem of the summer, “Hold Me Back.”
The black and white video, which was shot in New Orleans’ Calliope Housing Projects, has sparked a considerable amount of controversy over its raw street imagery.

The ban that BET put on the video begs the question: Can the Maybach Music don actually be held back?
The video’s director Taj responded to BET’s ban, saying:
So BET rejected Ross’ “Hold Me Back” video. It’s incredibly sad, because the video is incredibly special & real. You’re killing US BET. Smh. Everybody ask BET why it’s ok for them to play “Boyz N the Hood”, “Menace to Society”, and “South Central”, but not Ross’ video. What does BET stand for? You should have two answers for that question.
Regardless of what BET decided to do, the video is here for you to peep and craft your own opinion.
