Rick Ross EXPOSED. Why do people still like him?

I dont understand why people still like Rick Ross after hes been exposed????

I thought at least in HIP HOP or RAP...once you were proved false....it was over for your career!!! Thats how it was in the 90s man......I mean if rick ross was a mainstream artist he woudnt last back then/....


50 vs Ross beef.....50 Exposed him.........why wasnt 50 a credible source on this beef like he was with Ja Rule!!!!

Rick Ross is a wanna-be guys....hes claiming Big Meech, Ricky ROss....that he sod drugs lie them etc.......and this guys been exposed and he still has millions of fans!

I mean come on Does REAL RECOGNIZE REAL anymore or is it just about music these days?

the same reason people still buy waynes shit after all the false shit he's about. wearin bitch cloths, kissin dudes on the lips. he loves kissin birdman more than any womans. but people still flock to his shit. heres the thing if you want to make it big in this rap shit or anything...make music for the bitches. Rap/hip hop isn't the same as it used to be people don't get into it like they used to. just like anything else on the planet. you wouldn't trade in a playstation 3 for a regular PSone would you? no 9x's out of 10 you'd be rockin that PS3 while your PSone collects dust in the closet/ there's more new school fans than old school.

For one, any real "thug" knows that just because you're CO doesn't mean you're soft. There's a million ways a CO could be hustling the system. Two, it's the same reason people listen to J. Cole and dude graduated college. BECAUSE HE MAKES HOT MUSIC. Like him or not, Rick Ross has established himself as one of the best rappers in this generation at finding TALENT. He challenges producers to give him the freshest, newest, most revolutionary beats they have and he murders (pun intended) each and every one of them. I could care less if he had a job.

Are you kidding me? I'm not sure if you're a artist or producer Rod, but let's hear your work before you knock someone else's...lol

P.S. Good points Tuck

Who cares if Ross used to be a correction officer. I cant believe anyone still brings that up.... get over it already.

It is what it is in this business. Step up to the plate and show people how it's done.

Ross did...

yea man no ones cares about that ish outside of music
ross has some of the best ears in the game
created one of the dopest sounds in rap music
cant knock that cant beat it either

look at his numbers

I don't not like Rick Ross because he was a CO and jacked Freeway Rick Ross's life I don't like him because he's a sub par rapper.

i cant stand misleading titles such as this. I opened this thread because i thought that it was about him catching a body or being murdered so why not name this thread why do we like rick ross it is more fitting.

First of all reading this i can see that you people here on cp are still stuck in the pass and have failed to realize that this aint the 90's and it aint been the 90's in over 20 years get the fuck over it...time moves on why haven't you?

50 cent is not a credible source as far as exsposing rick ross because one he didnt live in flordia nor grow up in flordia so how can he voch for what rick ross has done or has not done? the reason why he was so believable in the ja rule beef is because they grew up in the same hood and you could believe that ja rule and 50 truly had problems. This situation with rick ross being a co and all that is the only brush up that has come up since he has been in the game

other shit like him paying jay-z for a deal and having shady business practices are the things that i want to talk about not wether or not he is a legit rapper or not because fact is most of these rappers are telling a lie. Now and days it is about how good your music is after you tell that lie.

Rick Ross took the game by storm he has the hottest label and artist in the game and honestly if i had to choose i am going to sign to MMG before anything else

I wish they would just lock this dumbass post. You're right, the title is stupid and the argument is stupid. You don't become a platinum artist by being garbage. Whether you like his style or not, there are MILLIONS more people who do. Finally, to anybody that thinks he's wack, why haven't YOU made it? Let me guess...you're not "selling out"? No, you don't WANT to go mainstream, is that it?

Please CP, lock this post...lol

Instead of locking the topic, I've renamed it to something more fitting

I bought his first album on Def Jam. That shit was hot and they were selling it for like 7.99$ I haven't bought any since, not sure why. It's a problem in rap music if you COMPLETELY fabricate everything you are presenting yourself as. I don't think Rick Ross does that. Plus he makes music people like...and that's kind of the point when you're talking about rap MUSIC

Well i feel i need to say is a lot of what Biggie spit wasn't things he had experienced first hand and most would say he's a legend of the "90's"... i don't feel either way about because like phortune 500 said I'm one of those that don't follow mainstream(also I'm humble enough o admit i don't have the skill level to make it any who) most of it is negative music that glorifies violence and belittles women with out any point on reason
