Wow what a incredible story full of many triumphs and failures within a society 1 man's story how he took humble beginnings illiterate and poorly educated Rick Ross Rises to become a millionaire by doing what he felt was the best he could do to escape his circumstances well unknowingly playing into a shadowy manipulation by the u.s. government to sell narcotics to the population of the u.s.To look back in history and see the amount of incarceration and Punishment laid upon African Americans during the War on Drugs and all the pain Devastation that came with drug addiction and poverty where the same government that was the ones providing the means for that Destruction what an eye-opening tale how is this not a movie yet!!

This is a hard book to put down once you pick it up! Freeway Rick has a gift for telling a story, and it seems as if each page plants you in his domain and puts you in the car or room right next to him as he does his thing.I seem to be becoming engrossed in the stories of the 80s drug heyday lately, and have read 10's of books over the past few months on the topic. As a result, my expectations have climbed as I've been fortunate enough to stumble across some good reads in the process. The Untold Autobiography is certainty towards the top of this list.You can't help but like Rick as you read his story in his own words. It's clear the guy is naturally talented, more fearless than most and a born leader. His circumstances growing up in South Central LA (poor education, surrounded by crime) no doubt led him down a road that most only read about in a newspaper and sneer at to themselves, assuming he must be just another uber gang banger. This would be a serious misunderstanding of the man in this book.Really great read, but as a side note, it seems like there are several scenes where the author could expand upon in further books. For instance, how about the early years? It seems like the jump from that first buy to being a bigger player happens in the span of a page or two. Anything notable happen in between?Just a thought (if the writing bug is still nagging at you, or maybe a YouTube or audiobook series). Anyway, great work!

This was actually a very good read
