    naw he did offer him something and the real rick ross refused to settle and went to court instead.

    i actually thought the real rick ross had a legit case til the judge explained that if your name has a second meaning for doing illegal ? then you can't profit off that.

    i didnt know that...he prolly offered the ? 10 racks or some ? ....anyway, about the profiting off of the name having a second meaning for illegal ? , is that not exactly what the rapper is doing?....if freeway never did what he did, robert would simply not be who he is right now.....

    I'm sure they offered him somethign slight that his lawyer thought they could win.

    And the judge explained it like this in the 1st case. Famous ppl names have a "second meaning" b/c of their celebrity. The example used was Will Smith. Will Smith name has a "second meaning" b/c of his celebrity. And his celebrity status is tied to him doing movies, tv, and music. All legal endeavors. Thus the real Ricky Ross can't put any claim to the 2nd meaning of his name b/c the only reason his name has a second meaning is due to illegal activity. Just like you can't call the police and say somebody stole my weed. Weed is illegal so they going to tell you to kick rocks. So you can't go to court and sue somebody for using the 2nd meaning of your name b/c you got that 2nd meaning illegally.

    From what i heard..........50 Cents was the reason "The Real Ross" didnt go 100 with the rapper Rick Ross......
    50 Cents played a big hand with "Court Issue"....... but everything 50 Cent did to Ross back-fired......

    50 even had to settle out of court with Ross baby-moms...........

    ya probably forget when the Real Ross came home............he was being courted by G-Unit......
    thats why the rapper said ? it........ im glad Rozay won and im glad he still winning.....
    i mean damn.......what having a ? name gotta do droppin hot ass music......

    i understand some of yall ? will be like but " The Real Ross" was a drug dealer......
    but yall forget the "The Real Ross" is also a snitch......also a FBI informant.....

    "Back to these crackers following my time-line"......? running call them folks......cuz 50 said
    take the ? to court and sue..........that hoe-? ? .........if u suppose to be street certified ?
    all u gotta is ask a ? ......and if u certified real ? will respect word.......

    But when u put the white folks on a ? back......its no love for you......i be the 1st to say
    ? the "The Real Ross"........ that ? aint nobody in the 00's.......if he was a major ?
    believe the streets of LA would be behind that ? hardbody........that ? would be the topic of all
    West Coast rap if he was so well respected and connected.........thats just my take........

    but he put the folks on Rozay cuz 50 thought that was the best way to get to Rozay pockets....
    made the name change his stage name........put him thru all kinds of lil ? .....
    just to be a ? ass ? ........and just like everybody who side with 50.....

    and the end 50 go run to CT tail under his ass.......sit in his 200 bedroom G-Unit dorm.......ALONE.....

    and wonder why.......his 50 Laws of Power never work.......cuz his strategy is way off.....
    ? got the concept of the "Art of War" all backwards....... he using others to fight his fight
    cuz he been beaten so bad......so now the Real Ross is still at square 1.......crying cuz a ?
    took yo name.......acting like the reason Rick Ross is hot or a decent rapper is because he stole a ? name
    a name is one thing.....but ? ......having a name has nothing to with picking hot beats.....
    havin good production......video and editing team is bananas.......raps is just stupid.....i mean the name
    have nothing to with what Ross achieved........thats the only that urks me.....its people who standing
    on the fact that a name alone....is what made Rick Ross the star he is today..........everybody knew
    he wasnt the Rick Ross.....who made 100 million dollars a day.............everybody know dude from Miami and not LA
    everybody watched Ross go from a fat-crusty-rusty-pusty-musty fat bastard....to the being the hottest MC in the game...
    and that had nothing to do with his name.......so the Real Ross can go find a better lick.......cuz sueing a ? who used yo name as a stage name.......and had already paid you homage.........and disclosed he was willin to break with u after fact.....
    and make mends with you.......but what the Real Ross do......turn all that down and call the police......

    The real one lived it, the fake one makes money talkin about it.

    If you really mad at the real one for doing his thing then why not be upset over the fake one sensationalizing about his life that he didn't live?

    The real one is involved in many community projects out here...

    Yes indeed!! I don't necessarily agree with dis decision but technically spk'g da rapper was saluting R Ross on some street ish & he took him to court for it.. IDK,but just like Nas said N reference to his song Stay Schemin being re-made; its hiphop when u take a piece of something from da past & put a new spin on it. Maybe Rozay didn't go about it da right way if there's such a thing..nevertheless da real Ross went ham N court & now what?? He's still just a random n*cca dat was somebody @ 1 point N time.

    right, but they don't mind Noriega owing him a favor.

    Can you prove what you say? Were are you from? Who do you know?
