My timeline might be off but I thought all of that CO s*** got discovered because of/during the beef wit 50?
From what I could remember Ross was at the top of his game back in late 2007 early 08 nigga had like 4 hits in rotation at the time on trilla (here I am,the boss,speeding) I even remember 50 shouting him out and telling him to stay away from fat Joe, then that’s when a few months later the smoking gun exposed him for being a former CO, he then was clowned on the internet for months nigga went quiet even got bullied into leaking a mugshot to prove his street cred rumors was s*** was fake
He disappeared for months then the bet hiphop awards came around 50 cent was there even gave Wayne an award for best hiphop artist, months later Ross dropped mafia music claiming he saw 50 that night at the bet awards and he didn’t like the way 50 looked at him but according to 50 he never seen ross that night which I believe because 50 not the type of nigga to lie about no s*** like that lmao if he seen you he would’ve said it to which we know that nigga career was hurting so he came up with a lie about a evil look to gain a buzz for deeper than rap and def jam definitely handled the rest if 50 would’ve never responded that s*** would’ve did 50k first week

Okay yeah you prolly right I was a kid back then so I didn’t really start paying attention to Ross until that beef wit Fifty, but I do vaguely remember my brother watching sumn on that whole Ross and 50 bet awards fiasco. I remember that era when Fifty was doin skits the most
Nigga started dropping OD classics
By time the date grape bar happened Ross was already solidified
The uoeno lyrics happened right before cancel culture. That era you get involved in some controversy you get heat for a lil bit then you move on.
Around the same time lil wayne had that "beat the 🐱 up like emmitt till" line if he said that now he'd be cooked

Not at all because his s*** caught up to him at the end
Yeah because he's a predator. But back then it was really weird how people embraced the Ignition song when it came out only a few months after those videos leaked. Back then there was no such thing as cancel culture but I remember how I expected his career to die when all promotion for BOBW just stopped. Then, a year later he was on every other song that came out, like nothing had happened.

He was able to get away with it, because I don't think people had the full inside scoop unlike nowadays with the internet, where we know the bullshit before it comes to surface (word to the blind items)
Same reason Drake survived two Atom Bomb sized diss records, no one actually cares 4real
2009, Crack A Bottle is a number one hit on Billboard
Down on Me is a number 10 on Billboard
Rick Ross never got one hit on Billboard like that
U trippin
Y’all thinking Billboard is what dictates what’s actually being played outside or not is a product of Drake stan brainrot lol
Rick Ross had countless classics (especially during that run with Meek Mill) that got heavy play in the city, you wouldn’t know unless you were there
nah but you know exactly what’s coming after you hear Ross say
POOF
disagree on no classic album, but he def had classics tracks

He was cranking out timeless s*** like it was nothing

Exactly
So much history lost on these chart fiends

Also he lost his reebok deal over that line so it's not like he got away with it completely
