Rick Ross' fan base is full of white kids which is why he can get away with all that BS.
Bullshit. If Ross's fan base was full of white kids, then he would actually sell records. Look at Ross and then look at Yeezus, J Cole, and Kendrick Lamar's record sales. His fan base is NOT white LIKE THAT...
Look at MMG. It's all black. Look at his music videos (especially for Hold Me Back) and tell me he made those with white kids in mind.
No, it is NOT white kids keeping Ross out there. The streets love Ross and just want to see a black man winning. Sure a a majority see through his BS and know the truth about him (another reason why he doesn't sell well), but a lot of muthafuckas don't care/ don't know about his past and love his banging ass beats and his simplistic flows about shit they wish they can someday get themselves (sadly most won't).
I'm tired of this "white kids love rapper X". Outside of popular rappers like Jay, Em, Ye, Wiz, Tyler, Mac, and Wu Tang, most of the bullshit artists are perpetuated by major labels who signed the artist in the first place because they were "hot in the streets," not "hot in suburbia."
In the end its about the beats and catchy hooks. None of that other shit matters to people who ain't on the internet studying cats like that.
I'm just sayin'...
