Rick Ross is a fake!

Rapper Rick Ross was a Florida State correctional officer from 1995-1997.

I had problems from the get-go with an entertainer taking the name of a legendary drug-dealer/government scapegoat flunky and assuming said persona.
Ross denied it when asked.

Will there come a day when rappers can break character?
No one sane believes that Al Pacino is a gangster and he keeps playing one on screen. However, the entire marketing of rap is based on Black Death. I remember when 50 Cent and The Game came out. Their skills were never discussed. All I heard was how they had really been shot and really coulda died! The marketing masters went so far as to create a fake gang (G-Unit) and put them both in it even though they had no prior connection. Record labels aren't selling stories to White kids. They are selling some warped reality for these kids to get close to a danger they will never face.

Fuck William Leonard Roberts (aka Rick Ross). Let all the cats he kept behind bars tell us how real he is.
And take that silly medallion of your face.
