1.Rick Ross (Aquarius)

he makes good music, i can't front on that, but he was also a CO (correctional officer)..now i didn't really even have an issue with that, my issue was once he was confronted about his past,he flat out lied about it...lost all types of respect after that..especially since his most of his music consist of talking about hustling and living a hustlers life style

2. PLIES (cancer)

made good, heart felt, real street oriented music..but come to find out this guy wasn't living that life style at all..he's a college student (which is good), and he talks proper( which is fine too)..but when you listen to'em, he purposely tries to sound as ignorant as he can be, and he never mentions anything about doing good in school or anything similar to that..if you want to be considered "the realest" you gotta talk about your "real life" to imo

3.DR.DRE (Aquarius)

talked all that super tuff gangsta talk while he was with N.W.A, but before that he was in some wack ass group called "the world class wrecking crew" and dressed like a transsexual..beat up a female reporter, claimed that he didn't smoke weed, then named his album "the chronic", got punched up at an award show and didn't do nothing,etc..

and i know most of these rappers that talk hard is usually frauds..but these 3 is the worst out of all of'em imo

I stopped caring about a rappers personal life a long time ago. I don't even know the real names of either rapper you listed and I never felt obligated to find out. It it obvious that these are three excellent storytellers who can act, basic traits any successful entertainer must have. Knowing if a rappers persona is real or not is growing more irrelevant now that everything in hip hop is about getting money instead of "keepin it real"...sad world we live in huh

yeah i feel you

especially with these soft, cotton candy ,cornball rappers like drake and kanye getting the most spotlight, its obvious that hiphop is definetly no longer made for the streets..

and im not saying i want rap to be "gangsta", i just miss the edge that it use to have..now it just resembles a plastic butterknife

He is corny. His boy Meek Mills is corny too (Sorry Philly) Only thing he has going for him are some catchy beats.

Otherwise, the fat bastard can continue selling crack off the iphone and choke on something, for all I care.

Lady Gaga is worth over $ 100m.

In four years and with three albums she has amassed a fortune few see in their life times.

It's a good thing I'm not materialistic otherwise I'd be jealous and stuff.

I could use $ 100m.

God I hate her.

lol@ Lady Gaga😛 She's an Aries/Scop/Sag - no Aqua to be found anywhere.

12th house Moon & Pluto, she lives in her own fantasy *fame* world it seems. I believe she's sweet and pretty genuine.

Who do I think is fake—? I dislike rappers in general😛

many people would be very surprised if they knew what celebrities like lady gaga do for their fame and fortune. indeed there is no need to be envious of these cowards because they will suffer when they finally leave this bitch.

I mean,that's why it's called the "entertainment" industry.You can't relate everything you see in it,as something substantial to yourself,especially when money is involved.Nothing is as it seems & the only way you get to really find out whats REALLY going on behind the scenes,is if you're actually in it.Gossip about it,is just like any other gossip.By the time it gets to you,the story has done a 180.Regardless of what celerities do or say,I know myself & thats what I live by.The masses ultimately hold the power & when people are tired of eating garbage THEN we can move on.Until then,ill be waiting.. & still bopping to Drake & whatever else comes on the radio.lol

As far as rick ross goes just because he was a correctional officer does not mean he was not selling drugs, no one knows for sure. There are crooked cops and C.O.'s. Drugs get into jail and out of them, and a majority of drug operations are run by gangs. Gangs are ruled from the penitentiary, i dont know dude personally so i can not say whether he is fake or real. But ill tell you this i do enjoy his music, rap has evolved to the point where the lyrical content and credibility are no longer a prerequisite to having a loyal fan base. I respect what he does and dont expect him to be nas or jay z.

Heres my phoniest

drake
lil wayne
and lady gaga is in fact a man
