As many times as I've read Rick Ross articles where he talked about all his supposed riches and vast drug empire, you just knew the cat had been reading too many "True II The Game" books. And now that sh-t has hit the fan.....
Did Miami rap impresario Rick Ross crib his best coke-dealing stories from inmates while working as a prison guard?
Perhaps.
The Smoking Gun has cleared up a minor controversy surrounding the hot-right-now rapper. Turns out, Ross was in fact a Florida corrections officer, despite his claim that pictures circulating online showing him in uniform were “fake.” Not that there is anything wrong with being a prison guard, mind you. Except when you explicitly deny as much, and especially when virtually all of your best-known songs (like Ross’ 2006 cocaine-dealing anthem “Hustlin’ ” and his recent hit with T-Pain, “The Boss”) hype the outlaw/drug kingpin lifestyle.
Ross released a statement last week denying that the photos were real, saying, in part, “My life is 100 percent real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other people’s body. If this was real don’t you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything else?”
....I'm instantly reminded of O.C.'s classic "Time's Up": Speakin in tongues, about what you did/but you never done it/Admit you bit it cause the next man gained platinum behind it/I find it ironic, so I researched and analyzed/Most write about stuff they fantasized.....
