Fox News: Freeway Ricky Ross Is Free

February 25, 2010 - Posted by admin

Freeway Ricky Ross was a 1980s drug kingpin who became a multi-millionaire urban legend in Los Angeles. So much so that a rapper took his name and parlayed that into a career as a music star. The real Rick Ross spent 20 years in prison for his crimes… but now that he’s a free man, he’s got big plans for the future and wants to make amends for his past. Ross sat down with FOX 11′s Chris Blatchford after his prison release to talk about the past, present and future.

    why does the jounalist emphasize the word ‘crack’ when talking about a black drug kingpin…..somehow the image of crack is worse than the ‘pure white cocaine’…ricky imported pure cocaine from columbia!…why don’t they just say that?….the only way you can make crack is with the pure cocaine!…damn racism even in the echelons of dope dealing and journalism. thats some weird shit.

    What a typical piece of Fox shlock! Hey, let’s not mention where he got all those drugs from!!! Like it’s totally irrelevant that his supplier was the US government itself, aka the CIA!!!!

    yeah there was some rapper from here in kansas city that called himself rick ross, i think he got popped because he said he killed mac dre or something. Bunch of stupidness.

    Just for clarification, Ricky Ross is free because it came out that the CIA was involved in supplying him his drugs – The CIA is notorious for doing this.
