In a way, also look like Buster from Arrested Development but he seems high or something

[Devil'sAdvocate]

really stupid! he said nothing,really nothing

[MistaVijilantee]

Reebok need to be realistic: Rick Ross is to slow to catch a girl, let alone rape her.

I hope Def Jam drops that substance-less, fake & semi-wack sucka too.

He's white.

i dont think thats the case really, i thinks its more that he has the slim shady character, which can be used as the scapegoat, like, "oh im just being slim shady, im not really raping bitches" and his style of rap can lean towards horrorcore, in which raping and killing is readily acceptable as art. rick ross portrays himself, not a character, althought he is a fuckin fraud lol, so i think thats why he didnt get away with it, as well as it is not expected from him so it was just a shock.

There is a basic, yet important, difference between Rick Ross and Eminem that I think explains why Ross is attracting this type of problems, while Em isn't.

> Rick Ross signed a deal with a corporation (Reebok), and thus had certain obligations. He was indirectly representing the brand of Reebok through the Ross-related products on the market. If the customers (or potential customers) are raging against a representative of a brand, that's bad for the corporation (in the sense that it might hurt its reputation and future profits).

After reading that, it seems so simple. I feel a little slow that I didn't say this same thing, great point.

we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse.

That's also important. They're basically saying that if Rick Ross came out and gave a good interview, or explained his line, they probably wouldn't have dropped him.

that picture looks like this one:

cant compare the two.

em's audience is cool with dark humor. but ross, right now, is more "mainstream".

besides, i never liked reeboks and i never liked ross.

Em goes on shock value & raps about things he imagine, he doesn't tell real stories in which he raped women... Ross can go to jail for this if a girl actually pressed charges right now.

Mystical did 7 years for the same thing. He had a song in which he bragged how he forced a hairdresser chick to suck his cock... then the chick pressed charges & he was put away.

In Em's case, that is a freedom of speech... in Ross' case that is rape 'cuz he actually said he did this.

I don't think the whole "song" part of your story is true. At least I've never heard that part of the story, him and his bodyguards raped her mouth, and she pressed charges. I don't think he ever mentioned it in the bravado sense.

This whole post is totally not relevant, I'm just a Mystical fan.
