THIS!!
Rozay spoke about this with NPR. He said the same way Cube didn't do the actual crimes, but saw it outside of his window, is what he always wanted to do with music. He said he wanted to take what he saw people he knew doing, and express it in a different light. So he's openly saying he didn't live it, but takes those things and puts them in his records because that's what the people around his way want to hear. He's making music.
Freeway wants sympathy, when he was on record talking about how doesn't care about black people smoking crack because he needs to get paid. One dude is making records, the other was cool with black people getting f*cked up on rock he was selling, so he could get paid, and we're supposed to care about what he's saying because he's broke now and the rapper isn't? Nah.
Freeway Rick also claimed he worked with John Singleton on the idea that turned into Snowfall but Singleton cut him out and ghosted him. Never produced any proof of course. Dude delusional and act like he should be revered or something.
