When Rick Ross raps about cocaine I trust him.

I don't know about you, but when most violence-crime-machismo rappers talk about dealing drugs, I imagine them slangin' on a corner somewhere--making money, but kind of pathetic at the same time. Dirty and gritty in a gray-colored place like New York.When Rick Ross talks about hustlin', I think of him as some kind of drug-lord kingpin guy. It could be because he's from Miami and _Miami Vice_ was on the air from the time I was 5 until the time I was 10. They got a lot of sunshine in Miami, I hear.--*plus* he rhymes "Atlantic" with "Atlantic." ...a tip he may have pulled from R.Kelly's _Trapped in the Closet_ genius.
...I don't even have street cred in email.
That "I'm Bad" song sounds like a terrible Rocky training-theme-song, but Ross somehow makes it likable. This man has powers. "Hit U From The Back" is on my top 10 shortlist for 06 thug love anthems.
I doubt there'll be another album by him worth listening to, but this one's a 2006 keeper.
