Yea with me I take it for what it is with him, entertainment. I mean I like some of his songs / mixtapes, I think he has a strong team and branded himself pretty well ... but that's where it ends lol I would never be conned in to thinking he really lived the stuff he raps about... He was a C.O. for f*** sacks, not to mention he stole the real rick ross's name and burned a lot of bridges.. The worst part is he said he got that name from the streetsNah, he is from there. Most hood folks from Miami can attest to that. There are three views of the C.O. thing. He certainly was not big in the game like he claims. Either you are completely deluded and watch too much T.V. with no real connection to the streets and think that he was somehow using his position as a cop to further his drug enterpriseYou don't like him because you recognize the fact that a black C.O. is an uncle Tom and/or you dislike cops, or you say screw it and don't care about his past as a law enforcement officer because his music is bangin'.
Plus lied about actually being a C.O... his music is what kept him alive.
Side note: He comes across as delusional in his interviews, remember this melt down? lol
He might still be an agent workin for the cops. Would fit right into some Cointelpro type exercise. He definitely promotes everything that they want to continue in the low income communities in America. It is actually fitting that he was previously a Corrections Officer, because he still does the same job. Plenty of idiots will listen to that music and get boosted up and try to sell drugs or pull a ratchet out and act ignorant and go to prison, instead of college. I never heard him rap about the brutality of prison life or what that entails, although he definitely is familiar with it
. He never mentions that slavery never ended and is still going strong in this country, and he is helping push it further than he ever did as an uncle Tom C.O. and maintaining the status quo. It also affects most people because they learn through his music to value materialistic goods more than integrity, "realness", or heart and character. Keeps the prison system moving (like he always has 
) and the corporate system that keeps us buying garbage that we don't need and thinking that an individual's Rolls Royce is more important than his intellect. He definitely ain't buckin' the system. If he started writing songs about how the prison industry in this country is the largest in the world, and is for profit, or how our rights are being trampled every day and the dollar slowly devalued, and our great great great grandchildren are being flooded with debt. you can bet he would be pulled off of the airwaves swiftly.
