Rick Ross' Next Move · by Rafi Kam

rick ross’ next album should tell his true story in a cinematic way. but this time a comedy instead of an epic crime story… we meet our hero, a prison guard with an active fantasy life, like the hip-hop version of the secret life of walter mitty.. but the twist of course is that his fantasy life makes him a star… then it all falls apart at the end like a 2008 version of the jerk. maybe carl reiner does a cameo. is he still alive?

get someone like madlib or mf doom on production to capture the self-deprecation and fantasy/reality shit. if rick ross goes all masta ace meta on us to tell us the REAL story of rick ross, that’s a potential masterpiece right there.

look at baseball right now… andy pettitte and jason giambi are heroes again while palmeiro, bonds and clemens are burned as hypocrites… people will forgive anyone who cops (no pun intended!) to their fuck-ups.

  1. rick ross career trajectory is a tragedy of epic proportions.

  2. Damn, I’ve haven’t seen a rapper’s rep take this much of a beating since Mase tried to come back. I don’t even think he went through this much. Homie might as well wrap it up.

  3. Even though I had a little fun here, I think this would really be a good strategy for Ross. He should take ownership of it (or maybe wait for the record / book to do so) instead of just denying it. He has nothing to lose.

  5. someone needs to make the man a mask then, so he can get his MF grimm/MF doom game on.

    let’s get it. that’s the next contest for def jam. create the ricky ross the boss mask.

  6. I pretty much doubt hip hop fans, well his fans will accept the truth. Who knows? Could he get a tell-all-book deal? Who knows?

    He has nothing to lose, but he’s still denying everything.

  7. some g-unit tool whose name rhymes with ‘mayo’ once said –

    “rap is like wrestling, everything is FAKE, but its a good pussy getta, and the cash is great”

    dre said as much on the show soundtrack (see ‘it’s entertainment’).

    talib addressed same on his MIMS diss track, “they are just caricatures of themselves.”

    with some strength training i think rick could at least make a bid for the intercontinental belt.

    a more intriguing question – ross’ wrestling name? big boss man is already taken.

    now get your photoshop skills up and somebody drop the “biggest boss man”

    wait a minute, this must have been how ross got his rap name!!!

  9. “this time a comedy”? The only thing funnier than this whole scandal is Rick Ross’ first album.

  10. “Rick Ross” and “meta” don’t belong in the same sentence.

  13. Rick Ross in denial! Come clean, tell the truth and move on. The shit wasn’t that bad until he lied about it.

  14. rick ross is a fool & if he does take on this idea he’ll just get merked.

    atleast he still has somewhat of a fanbase though-check this dude out..
