Turk
Young, Gifted, and Black
When we meet he is wearing a black T-shirt and black shorts that ride a little too high up his thigh. The look reveals a tattoo on his left leg of an anarchist emblem. He points to it as he talks about race and how it has affected his career. Although Dope has a strong message about racism, Rocky doesn't necessarily support the film's take on stereotyping.
"Race doesn't mean shyt these days, especially for me. I'm a free spirit. I refuse to be held back, or marginalised or limited because of colour. Are you Arab?" he breaks off. "You're a minority, so you know how hard it can be. Ten years ago, my people were discriminated like yours. You know you guys [Muslims] are the new ni**as. With that being said there are people who play into that and people who don't. I'm an anarchist, man, I don't care about colours and all that."
His definition of anarchism is rather egocentric, however. "It's a society amongst society, why not? I have my own lifestyle. I have a cult following. There are people who actually want to eat what I eat, dress how I dress... and they might even shyt how I shyt. That is a cult following. I encourage people to be entrepreneurs and be the best that they can be. I'm not stupid, I'm an anarchist."
Does he feel the need to be a role model or represent the downtrodden of society? "No, man," he spits, before adding, "I think I represent the Arab right now. I represent the Arab."

I'm not reading this shyt.
he's a D list celebrity, at best 
Even calling him a D list celebrity seems like a compliment. He's the voice for no one but himself
