How/When did the real Rick Ross become a folk hero?

[Wild self]

People do the same thing to Bumpy Johnson. They know more about him than Malcolm X and MLK.

The Drug Lords of the past are the Civil Rights leaders of the ratchet population today. Think about that one.

They will pass up on a book about Benjamin Banneker, but love the street tales of Alpo Martinez and how he had all the model hoes and flashy cars back in crack era Harlem.

Google is your friend.

But to these ratchet heads, they pass up on studying on the Black Panthers and only read up on drug lords and street legends that contributed nothing but turmoil to black folk.
