absolutely, this.

I'm just generally laughing at Ross's persona. Seems like karma that something like this would happen.

Lol at him for worrying about his own safety? K.

The new Big Boi album is terrific. Definitely worth checking.

ugk is amazing, especially ridin' dirty

need to check out the new big boi because the last one ruled

the number of hip-hop veterans still trying to strike it relevant is a bit worrying

I'm cool with Das Racist being done...Heems has been killing it anyway.

Rick Ross...lol. Fuck you

Can't wait for Doris and Pusha's album

No because he's a fake and shouldn't run his mouth like a gang banger if he doesn't want to get involved or never was.

He's laughable. I obviously don't wish death on the dude, but this kind of thing shouldn't come as a surprise to him

Yeah it's just ridiculously ironic.

Every rappers persona is real and they should never talk about anything unless they want to be threatened by real gangs with violence. K

You are an idiot.

Rick Ross' come up is completely different from other rappers. If you just want to side step the entire issue that's just fine.

I know how Rick Ross came up. I'm not side stepping an issue. He cancelled a show because he was threatened by a real gang.

But in all my years reading these boards, I've known not to take your musical opinions seriously, especially if its about rap so carry on.
