I have a fan base worldwide, man. I think they're really down for me. That's how I got signed - 30,000 fans retweeting Rick Ross.
I take much of the attacks and the criticism toward me as being very class-based, but as Americans we don't like to acknowledge that reality.

When dealing with critics always remember this: Critics judge things based on what is outside of their content of understanding.
We need a new religion, a global religion, based on one simple principle: live and let live.
Anyone who is seriously interested in me would usually do a little more homework and realise that the extreme criticisms are almost exclusively ideologically based.
But I also think it's up to the fan base to call in the radio stations and demand that the more mature artists be played as well.
