About this listen

Freeway Rick Ross: The Untold Autobiography is an intimate look at the day-to-day dealings of a drug kingpin in the heart of the ghetto. It's also the story of a boy born in poverty in Texas who grew up in a single-parent household in the heart of South Central, who was pushed through the school system each year and came out illiterate. His options were few, and he turned to drug dealing. This untold autobiography is not only personal, but also historical in its implications. Rick Ross chronicles the times by highlighting the social climate that made crack cocaine so desirable, and he points out that at the time, the "cops in the area didn't know what crack was; they didn't associate the small white rocks they saw on homies as illegal drugs". All Rick Ross knew was people wanted it.

I was introduced to Freeway Rick Ross via the Joe Rogan experience podcast.

Rick provides a fascinating insight into a world that most of us will never know.

This story of an illiterate young black man growing up in the tough ghettos of South Central LA, becoming Americas top Cocaine supplier and his eventual downfall makes for a great story.

His subsequent efforts for self education, his release from prison and successful post crime life and work to help the youths that are in the position he was before his life of crime are inspirational.

A fascinating listen, worth the investment.

A must read book that not only illustrates Ricky's incredible rise from illiterate kid from the streets to the biggest American drug kingpin in history, but also the US government's active role in the proceedings. A real eye opener.

The story of Freeway Rick Ross is very interesting and was surprising to learn the volume of business he done in his prime. Excellent narrator as well.

I put this book off for quite a while since I had no idea who Freeway Rick Ross was nor how his book had ended up in my wishlist. However this book ended up being quite enjoyable and this review is a little spoilery.

It a slow start, by chapter 10 you'll find you're 2 hours into the 8 hour book and Rick is still at school/college. It picks up by hour 4 and we see a lot more of the drug sealing side after that.

Some of it seems glossed over like the grittier, more violent aspects. I can't imagine the rise to kingpin is a bloodless endeavour. Nor do I think that Rick was completely out of the game and just on the edge of going clean when stung by the raid.

On the other hand his $30k/day in recreation and pot use combined with him not seeming to launder any money until very late in the game is believable. As were some of the police actions that were then subject to law enforcement investigation.

By the end I think this turned out to be an enthralling story, well narrated and worth a credit but definitely needing to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Actually quite interesting
