The difference is that people who've actually been through the lifestyle Ross describes almost always don't rap about it for the sake of glorifying it... the message you get from their music is far more conflicted than anything in a Rick Ross album. They were also in it for the money, but the way you get that money usually has a cost... Rick Ross doesn't know much of anything about that cost, which is why it's not reflected in his lyrics. And the lyrics from people who've been through it tend to be introspective more than anything... there's usually a theme in the lyrics (pain, remorse, inner conflict, etc.) which people can relate to because that's what us as humans feel... show me a real person who is as one dimensional and vapid as the lyrics in the average Rick Ross song. It's entertainment, true, but that's all it is... there's no "value" to it. Now, you could argue that there's no value to the lyrics of, say, a Jacka album, but that would be more about the "value" of the content and less about the value of the self-portrait that the music portrays.

wow she so full of shit. the whole thing is bc her running her mouth. damn she basically lightweight played stretch in that interview above and made him look like a ignorant violent nigga when he was just taking her side smh.
fools on here sounding like a female that got fucked and played by a nigga that gamed them up when they keep saying he lied about his past. so fucking what & what does that have to do with your life? Obviously that shit didnt hurt his career one bit bc he a multi millionaire and entrepreneur. he didnt really say he was or wasnt he ignore the question or ran around bc during that time his career was just starting to take off and he did the right thing by keeping his mouth shut(he smart unlike kreyshawn).
