According to people in this thread he has 20 million chillin, does he need to 'make a living' in Hip Hop putting out albums? Mind you, these are not self help or gospel albums. He wants the Rick Ross name because of its association to drug dealing/the streets/that life. I understand he did the heavy lifting for the name and it is his name. I am speaking from a legal stand point on why he can't use it in music. What schools and community centers in Los Angeles is he speaking at? I haven't heard of any and I live in Southern California...you know the area he turned upside down in a few years.
Woody Harleson made being a serial killer look appealing in Natural Born Killers but he didn't turn a bunch of people into killers or murder people. That's the difference between playing a character in the make believe world of Hip Hop and really ruining peoples lives.
Yes it is supposed to rehabilitate criminals but there are people who have committed crimes that don't get wiped clean just because they sat in jail. Everyone should have my line of thinking when it comes to all those murders and families crushed with him. We aren't talking about a guy who robbed a bank or stole a car. We are talking about a guy who was a driving force behind the bloods/crips turning the area into a war zone and the crack EPIDEMIC. Not crack problem, EPIDEMIC. Im not even talking about the notches he has on his own belt from putting out people interfering with what he was doing.
I don't know nor do I care how much money that nikka got. As for the where he's spoke at, you'd have to ask him. I heard him mention doing those types of things in a interview.
LOL @ him being a driving force. He was nothing more than pawn. He was just a dumb broke kid that was trying to get paid. If it wasn't him the CIA wouldv'e found another dumb kid to do it. They created that epidemic not him and there was nothing he, you or me could've done to stop them.
