they won't buy or even listen to Ric Ross's music because he lied abt being a CO is an example of how listeners of the music see authenticity as the holy grail when it comes to MCs...and fans hold HipHop artists to a different standard than fans of other music

No one would care if Luther Vandross lied abt working at UPS or as a security guard before his music career began...we certainly wouldn't stop listening or buying his music becaue of it
