Freeway Ricky on Almost Co-Owning Death Row, Suge's Fallout with Harry O

[@manolocepeda8479]

When I was a kid fresh out of HS, back in 92/93 I was working at a real estate office in Hawthorne ca and I use to talk to this dude who hung out there, he was a small dude with dreadlocks, who spoke very calmly and direct. We spoke about books I enjoyed reading, art, boxing etc....one day my homie came by the office and his eyes lit up when dude came in the door. He came in said what's up the. Proceeded to ho to the back office with the owner of the real waste firm. As soon as he walked out my homie said "what is freeway Rick doing here" I was confused because I knew of freeway Rick through legendary hood stories and also studied him In a elective class; Criminal Justice. I was like fuck! I've been talking to great Rick everyday m-f and did g even have a fucking clue. The man is very humble and just an overall good dude. Every time I mentinded my desire to run my own street operation he was always quick to point me in another direction and I am thankful for that. After realizing it was him I asked and he confirmed that he is indeed freeway Rick. I had a million questions and he was very candid about the game and rise to the top. I then put 2 and 2 together and realized that he was the boss of that real estate firm, the white dude was just the boss on paper. I moved to N Cali chasing a girl and never saw Rick again. I always wanted to thank him for pointing me away from them streets. I'm a family man, living a good life rich in family values. Thing would've have been much different and less fulfilling had I got involved in the street game. Thank Yoj Rick Ross and god bless you.

How do you hear of someone a lot and not recognize him when you talk to him

[@abomb6046]

If that's true, that's amazing dude

[@brownhippiex496]

Ipuntbabies 03 if you didn't know exactly what they look like it's easy. I met my favorite rapper but never knew what he looked like in person

[@fredo3106]

I'm from Hawthorne

[@alexfrazier6948]

See! THAT'S what the fuck I'm talking about! Guys like Freeway Rick and Pee Wee Kirkland looking out for future generations! They could EASILY continue to glorify gangster life but chose/choose to do the polar opposite! Props to you for listening and choosing a better life for yourself! I'm sure your family is proud!

Death Row was basically the inmates running the prison

[@Forever.Remain.Nameless]

DJBVA08 nah Suge ran the prison until he went to prison....

[@bossbear3599]

DJBVA08 Right, when the artist signed, it is compared to doing the crime and Suge would give you the necessities to live but no legit money . Then the prisoners broke out when Suge got locked up in 96 lol like Snoop

[@TVSOUNDSYSTEM]

Anita Bakers first album is strong still....So thanks Freeway

[@QUAN81880]

I'm surprised that Vladimir didn't mention his "friend" or someone he "knows" in this episode. 😂

[@MrNickelodeon90]

interview is not done yet... its comeing

[@moneym3]

lol he did . he said to freeway " i heard that from a person i talked to" and freeway said " who? the cops?" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@midnightrider4066]

He did at beginning lol alco holics

[@AustinA37]

This man knows everybody... kingpin shit...

[@maoluwoiwor9759]

These stories make LA sound like a small town.

[@DontJudgeMeRS]

Maolu Woiwor if you're high up in the streets it is.

[@KingDavidGodsBeloved]

Nah its just that only a small population has money.

[@ODK321]

I think it's like most cities. If you run with a certain element and make a bunch of money, people know each other, whether friend or foe. The big difference is in L.A. (or NY) there's a really good chance that they will now be connected to the entertainment industry-singers, actors, rapper, etc.It's a lot of crossover between crooks, pimps, drug dealers, pimps and actors/actresses, singers, rappers, etc. , always has been. There's all types of tales of the stuff in '70's and 80's where popular actress dated pmps or drug dealers or whatever. I mean, the mention Dick Griffey and Solaar Records, I've heard a lot of stories about him. From my understanding the founders of Sugar hill Record was in some illegal stuff and using the record iz as a front. It's always been like that and those people will know each other.

[@artesiathedesertprincess9747]

Maolu Woiwor it’s not bro he RICK ROSS. He made moves from prison.

[@jettytrapdienero8190]

Definition of a BUSINESS MAN

[@pureuncutlakers1010]

Freeway Rick has a billion dollars in stories for Hollywood, books, podcasts, whatever.

[@hiphopmindztv]

listening to these interviews of Freeway, it just goes to show how small the underworld really is when dealing with things on a certain level.. And how everything intertwines with each other in some way.. lol Freeway said he paid for Anita Bakers first album... shit is crazy

[@MarkHallOfFame]

That's the same thing I was thinking fam!!!! Shit is crazy!!! Like these stories be amazing!!!

[@niceforwhat9330]

HipHop Mindz he should tell how he made a generation of crack babies,increased gang warfare and has black men operating as females today and white men and other races of men doing what they want to them lmao

[@IgotSomuchTroubleonmyMind]

The Love Is Real i thought it was the good ole us government that did that

[@Mndr-vd8mn]

IgotSoMuchTroubleonMyMind that's who he knowingly got his drugs from he destroyed so many generations it's crazy

[@VolkXue]

CPT wasn't that big of an area back in the day.. Take the Pygmys as an example, everyone knew that family

[@Word-Life]

Imagine if Ricky Freeway was in charge ofndeathrow instead of Suge. Hip Hop history wouldve been so different.

[@cashondeliver]

Word Life or Harry o death row would be big today every artist would be there

[@dabmaster4470]

Its Freeway Ricky Ross

[@aaronjohnson6622]

Freeway Rick is slick. Catch that story he spoke about when he called people to get his tennis friend. Interesting that he just happened to be there when the fight broke out... Anyways Rick is slick and sneaky. I can hear it in the way he tells his stories. No wonder he made all that money. Intelligent guy

[@moneym3]

didnt the guy bring him there with him?

[@michiganmade6275]

Kenni Mac Nah he said he showed up by himself. He just wanted to chill alone and ran into Otis

[@williecumberlander2647]

I'm from Detroit never knew that thanks Mister Ross Anita Baker is a icon which makes you a legend

[@kingsuave4452]

Freeway Ricky Ross is right about Hip Hop industry was funded by the dope game which is why all you heard in a lot rap music is trap or drugs.

[@Usernotknown21]

"I made my million dollars for the day. So i can take the day off and just chill." The real Rick Ross. He says it like it's no big deal.
