Dam, that dudes lived the life of 1000 men
CHHEEEAAAAAA
not if you go by his story g-wiz the guy never met a kmart he didn't love ... comes off like a plain ordinary good dude ... I like ross he's got a good story his story aside from the heights he went to is not unlike a lot of people from my neighborhood where they wanna attain a certain level but can't for whatever reasons ... so they turn to this .. the guys I know never soar to his heights though not even all of them put together on a good week
this was dope and a great story. it’s a shame they glossed over how he learned to read/write in prison enough to overturn his case - what an achievement.
A real OG. I could listen to his stories for days.
I saw this yesterday. Fucking amazing... This works so well, Jim Norton can do his thing, Vice gets people we would never see on television. They can talk about anything.
This interview was truly great. Thank you Vice for producing this to make up for that "People after having sex" series...
Don't like your own comments
Gack Jack I didn't know people can do that. But when I click it it goes up to 3 so I don't think I even accidentaly clicked it.
Nicoyutub You did it again.
W-what?
Yes, that was dreadful. I uprated your comment.
This dude is so good at business. Can't read but got himself out of prison legally and then monetize his whole life that pretty much fell apart. This is apart from the billion in Coke sales!
What he said about fake rappers selling false hope is the realest shit ive ever heard
Seems like a genuine guy. Not much more to say other than, at least he wasn't going around causing murders, fair play and welcome back to society Rick Ross
He made 900 mil selling drugs, the odds are slim that there was no murder, maybe not by him, but definitely his henchmen.
HigherPrimate And the government does the same thing except they have 500 billion.
He was probably more dangerous back then than he like to talk about now.
That was the difference between him and other dealers, he was a "regular" guy. He walked the streets looking more like a user than a dealer. He took care of everyone, looking like a politician kissing babies.
This dude brought thousands of deaths with what he was doing..
rick seems like an amazing person. i dont how how white suburban americans look at him, but to me, he looks like a person who was born into a world with no other opportunities than dealing. but he has gone trough so much, for fucks sake, its like he grew up in goddamn liberia, not america, whos people belive that its the greatest country in the world. he really looks like an honest and good person.
Rick Ross what a cool and humble dude! Respect
This dude is a true inspiration real talk, very humble guy who is making good on his second chance at life
True.
Its nice to see that he genuinely didn't set out to cause harm, People can be really judgmental about things like this but he is clearly a good guy and now his career has been forcibly stopped his kindness is really shining through.
thanks subscribe to the official page here....
its Freeway rickross
can i touch your beard
Amazing interview, RR. I'm going to get that book. Appreciate your honesty and candor.
BUYING your book!
Great Interview. Thank God for loopholes. I can't imagine putting someone away for their entire life simply for providing people with things that THEY are seeking out.Good to see you are out and doing good in the community!
One of the best interviews I've seen in ages.
When he said the he saved a lot of money and then was able to buy cheaper drugs wholesale and was then able to sell cheaper resulting in things mushrooming: I finally understood why big dealers like him were vital to the drug game. It's astounding how he somehow fell into the drug business.
This was flat out amazing. 10 seasons of Jim Norton show pls Vice.
Best show... Hope they keep the same type of guests:)
suss cribe to my Chabaf;nnel
Gack Jack yes cuz someone who can't spell basic words is somebody I need to listen to
Gack Jack
No.
I absolutely love Rick Ross and thank you so much for making these vids. I have to point one thing out tho. At 16:15, Jimmy asks him since he got life, how is Rick free. Rick says that he taught himself how to read and write and then found a loophole that his lawyer missed. What an incredible thing, and Jimmy just blows right by it.
he said, the prosecutor missed it.
True honesty, true humility. This dude does not glamorize the life. Doesn't lay blame. What he was involved with was awful but he cops to it. Glad he's speaking on it.
im surprised his life story wasn't made into a movie yet.
He might own the rights, which I hope he does. I think he is wrapped up in the lawsuit against Rick Ross the rapper, the case is going to the Supreme Court.
American Gangster is somewhat based upon him
ShatteredDimensionz no it wasn't? it was about Frank Lucas.
lithium2370 Oh yeah. My bad I got them confused lol
It was u just hav'nt watched
Rick's laugh is amazing. I don't know why but it touches my soul
What
@@sillygoose2508 like the words he speaks on here after getting out if his old ways, there's something about his laugh that lets you hear that as well
@@ryanlara83 come on and get with the program goof ball just because I created misery and dispare and laid waste of countless lives in the past dosen't mean you get a pass on your judgment that's like the catholic religion just say a couple of hail Mary's and all will be forgiven pull your head out of your ass he's nothing to be looked up to
Love Jim Norton! Just binge watched every episode! Nothing like this has ever been done before. Killer show!
That moment he talked about being broke. He didn't want to be hungry. You can really see his conviction.
I love little nimmys nervous twitch at 20:12 as if he's worried ross is gonna slap him for being a silly jibbah jabbah
Someone needs to make a movie about this guy
this guy can't determine the difference between the meaning of the terms 'explicit' and 'complicit' but he can find a loophole in his legal case that helped reduced his sentence from life to 20 years? what a universe...
The dude completely educated himself give him a break. And atleast he new the term he just mixed up his words everyone has done that.
He also made $900 million without knowing how to read. Makes you look at that college degree a like differently doesn't it? I know I do.
The difference between booksmart and just plain smart. But then again, it took him half a lifetime to understand the consequences of what he was doing and transcend the environment he came from, which shows the difference between smart and wise.
If we are lucky, some of us may be one of the first two, or even both, few achieve the second.
Legend. Ive never heard someone tell it from his perspective. Ive always understood sellling drugs as one if the few opportunities to make money in impoverished neighborhoods, but the way Rick speaks about it is different. There is no glorification or violence in the way he speaks, he reiterates how he was naive in general and also unaware of the effects his product had on people. Imagine giving all that money up before he even had any idea there would be legal repercussions just because he saw what it was doing to his community. Let alone what he has gone on to do for himself and also for people who are in the same position he was. Unreal
Is it me or does Jim Norton look like he might have done a line or two aswell before they started?
Or does he always look like this?
MightyMe always
This was a seriously great interview; I'm looking forward to future episodes.
A fucking chat show, just what the world needs more of....
great interview, watched the first one and didn't think I'd be interested in this, but it was very entertaining to watch.
hes such a humble modest man.
Please more Jim Norton Show! Way more conversation and better guests than anyone else doing it.
wow what a fucking guy. awesome interview.
I really hope this gets the views needed and doesn't get canceled. Two shows in and already loving it.
I love watching Rick get slowly more comfortable with Jim. Great interview with an awesome guest, this show is fucking rad.
In this and many other interviews they just quickly mention the part I'm most interested about. The fact that he was illiterate when he went to prison, learned to read there, and found a loophole from a law book that let him free. That's amazing
Vice #1 channel in the world. No doubt or competition.
Bring this show back.
Rick seems like a nice guy & it was just circumstantial but he was an honest dealer!
Its crazy that the modern day Al Capone gets to talk about what happened.
he wasnt even close to Modern day Al Capone...
ill will
When you think of the prohibition era you think of Capone. Even though 75% of the U.S alcohol came through Detroit during Prohibition. When you think of 80's drug trade you think of Rick Ross.
+likenem The Purple gang ruled Detroit. Story goes Al Capone made a deal with them to be his biggest supplier if they help take out his rival in Chicago. The Purple gang then sent a St. Louis hitman and his crew to Chicago and the infamous St. Valentines day Massacre happened.
MegaMoose1989
I've heard of the purple gang being the cause of it but I thought Al Capone wasn't aware that shooting was going to take place.
likenem I think they told him ¨Don't worry we will handle it. Why don't you take a vacation in Florida?¨
Great interview. Freeway Ricky has lead one hell of a life and has most importantly lived to tell the tale as a free man.
this was pretty good, he's a pretty chill guy.
KEEP IT UP VICE WE LOVE THIS SERIES KEEP UP THE SAME TYPE OF GUEST TOO
great interview.
+SurreallTV L
One of the best shows I've seen in a long time.
Best of luck to you Rick Ross, the living legend and truly THE OG of our era. What an intelligent business savvy man. If it had not been for Public Education being a failure to teach him how to read and write. Imagine the man he could have been today. Either way he brought employment to people in his community and was like a Robin Hood. Now he is an inspirational speaker to people of all ages and able to reflect to teach others. Also I was so glad how he calls out rap today about not being truthful and detrimental to kids.
duds the shit. reminds me of my old head. wise and humbled.
He makes it looks so easy
Wow what a stand up guy
“Thats just what we needed!”
i was more interested in the cia backing aspect of rick ross drug empire, i wished they went more in depth on that as opposed to just talking about how much money he made...
jims lighthearted about that stuff check out Rick's interviews on alex jones and on Joe Rogan all great interviews
Gotta love the Jim Norton Show theme song from Sandy Kane.
Thank you ad blocker, another video not interrupted.
Freeway was incarcerated as an illiterate adult yet managed to learn how to read we'll enough to correct a judicial injustice....Wow. Now that's a true OG👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The Sick Fucken Puppies should play while the credits roll.
This guy looks like a black Trevor Phillips.
You are so right on that.
The best comment that I've seen so far
Now you're straight delivering all over the place again VICE!
19:35 - 19:50 Only if someone showed bobby shmurda these 15 seconds...
true very true
I really enjoyed this interview. being from Miami, I am very familiar with the crazy 80's.
Two episodes deep, this show is sick.
wow what a great interview.
*Wow* this was _super interesting!!_
*Looking forward to see the next episodes :D*
i think jim's good at keeping the conversation on track and maintaining calm vibes. this is some serious shit they're talking about and he doesn't let it get too tense or uncomfortable.
Jim gets better in each show and this was a great interview as was the Tyson show, well done Vice & Jim.
Great Job Rick. People want the Fame and Fortune, but don't want to do the Time that goes along with it. 😎
This show just works so damn well. Some fascinating stuff here.
Great interview. This show is really dope. No commercials and it moves quick.
Good show will keep watching..
This show is going to get BIG!!!!
Norton, oh... Norton, you're going places with this big time tv show schtick! :)
It's funny that in different circumstance Rick could have been a world-class tennis player or a wall Street guy.
I had my doubts before, but Jim Norton is killing it!
little Yimmy's getting more comfortable in his hosting environment. He still doesn't know what to do with his hands though, sweet boy.
I love Jimmy Norton
Amazingly insightful.
I wasn't sure about this show when I watched the Dana White and Mike Tyson episode, it felt a little awkward, but this episode with Rick Ross was fucking awesome.
the vice tv channel need this show..it could be pretty fucking great for a few more seasons
Rick seems like a real humble dude. I like that. Norton is a fuckin nut lol
Best interview I've seen in years!!!
Hey Vice and Jim Norton awesome stuff. Monologue and long interviews is a great setup.
Man he is intelligent as hell. Great interview.
awesome job by Vice and Jim Norton, can't wait till next weeks episode
Feels soo muthafuckin good he made it out...
Great interview. Love this show. Thank you vice. This show is amazing!!!!!
I hate talk shows but I love this one. Good shit, man!
Best show ever
i have been dying to see this! Awesome stuff!
1st
Gack Jack
that seemed a bit cliche ... never actually had first on something with more than 20 views before.
these episodes have been great, keep it up.
man freeway really speaking the truth in this interview...wasn't expecting such a wise and humble dude... its a shame the prestigious name "rick ross" that he grew into an icon got jacked and tangled up in some fake ass rapers carrier, oficer ricky.
Another great show!!
You've had Mike Tyson, Dana White and Rick Ross on your show so far. I'm interested to see who you'll have one for next week.
Stand up guy. I literally have nothing bad to say about him
Chris Masamune
Except that he flooded the streets with poison a literally help ruined the lives of millions of parents and children
Awesome interview.
Just realized Norton is the priest from power lol
I love what this guy says at 530ish. You SAVE money grows everything gets more accessible. That's why all these guys never move up. It's all about saving and growing. Fuck a 70k chain it don't give back dividends. And especially cars worst investments out there (new cars and putting in useless shit on it)
I am enjoying this show a whole lot lol
Rick Ross is the fucking man
I just noticed after 3 of 4 episodes Sandy Cane is singing the ending song
Great interview
This show is great.
