Damn! That's real talk. He expressed the exact way I feel bout Ross.
This guy is just expressing the thoughts and feelings of every one who knows who Ross is: a fake, a fraud. The same way that some one will sell you something terrible with a smile on his face and call it something that it's not; Ross is selling us, 'Hip hop' except from the fact that his lyrical ability lacks in shock value and his message is materialistic bullshyt. It's everything The foundations of Hip Hop wasn't built on and that's why any real fan doesn't like Rick Ross. Ye my man can spit, but the culture is more than some one spitting a 16 of fire. It's hard for Ross' 12 year old fans to understand that though.

bruh these white boys and their uncle tom buddies will forever be scorned by Rick. Ross does have a story, he can rap, and he makes music for his demographic which doesn't include these lames and that's why they so mad. And that Mitt Romney reference let me know all i need to know about the cac who made this vid. Let em stay mad And try to rationalize why they are so fixated on a rapper that they all claim to hate
who is this dude? 
I agree with some points but I disagree with the overall idea that Ross has no message or is just another interchangeable rapper at the top for 5 or 6 years.
Most of the music is inspirational, but even more importantly the fact that Ross is the artist he is today is inspirational. It wasn't that long ago people were calling Ross's career over. He not only came back, he came back stronger then ever. He didn't just come back as a stronger artist, he came back as a savvy business man as well. That kind of resilience is what a lot of people need in these economic and socio-political times.
I want this guy to listen to Valley of Death and tell me Ross has no message. That song is like Ross's Ether, not in the sense of being a devastating diss track but in the sense that in demonstrated Ross, like Ether did for Nas, had the resiliency to stay in rap as long as they wanted. If either Nas's or Ross's careers could survive what they had been through, they could survive anything.
