Ricky Donnell Ross, better known as "Freeway" Ricky Ross, is known for the drug empire that he presided over in Los Angeles in the early and mid-1980s. He's been behind bars since 1996 and is getting released within the next 50 days.
Today, many people associate the name Rick Ross with the Miami rapper who adopted his name from "Freeway" Ricky Ross. Not only his name, but the rapper Ross, a former correctional officer, took on his whole life story from the former drug kingpin, including the infamous beard.
Dubcnn took the time to talk to the original, "Freeway" Ricky Ross, about his plans after his release, how he is going to be involved in the music game and what he listens to himself. Of course, we talk about the Rick Ross situation, how he feels about the rapper and the fact that he chooses to ignore the man who inspired him.
Exclusive Interview With "Freeway" Ricky Ross (February '09) (http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/rickyross/)

Cool read, interesting what he has to say about Officer Ricky...
Dubcnn: What's your take on him being a former C.O., portraying a life in his music that is false?
Really crazy. But I knew he was and impostor all the time. Well I can give you a tip about street dudes. A street dude would never take another street dudes name and claim it as his own. You go in the streets to claim a name for yourself. So I told guys from jump that he had never sold drugs or been in the streets.

Good interview cuz I don't hear anyone else jumpin on this story. I am sure the news will be on it when he leaves & it will turn into a 3 second sound bite. Though it was short, I wish i could know a bit more.
For you youngstaz read up on the Real Rick Ross, cuz he from my era & he was a true & real dope dealer. I just hope this don't turn into a Monster Cody story & he ends up back in jail on some bullshit & I hope thangs go good for the man. Life is never easy for a man fresh out the pen.

that nigga Nima went hard on ross..lol

I'm surprised Ross didn't mention Kevin Booth and his American Drug War film which he was highly featured in. They apparently became good friends and are supposed to be working together in the future-perhaps on American Drug War 2. Y'all should check it out if you can.
Anyways, thanks for the interview.
