I mean, listen to dat smooth sax on album centerpiece 'Sixteen' or Usher's uncharacteristically well-placed croon that graces the radio-friendly 'Touch N' You'. I'm no hip-hop connoisseur, but I know craft when I hear it ladies and gents, and it marks an honest-to-God evolution sonically for one of the world's funniest living-n'-breathing oxymorons. Dig it!

Randy Lahey Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) The guy is a complete fraud. He's a former correctional officer who stole his name from Los Angeles drug lord "Freeway" Ricky Ross. I wish Suge Knight would dangle him off of a hotel balcony.

Lil' Wayne raps about shooting people while he's dancing on stage like an idiot in front of thousands of suburban college students. They're all phony. Rick Ross sounds legit and that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
