From The Studio To The Classroom: Georgia State Law Is Offering A Class On Rick Ross

There's going to be a heavy focus on contract law and phlegmy ad-libs.

He’s far from the first rapper to wax poetic about fast cars, beautiful women, and moonwalking on marble floors. Okay, that one may actually be a Rick Ross original — either way, Ross consistently describes life in ways that would make Robin Leach take note.

Georgia State Law students will be taking note too. Mo Ivory, professor of practice and director of the school’s Entertainment, Sports & Media Law Initiative, will be teaching a class chronicling the legal history of Mr. Rozay:

It’s a brilliant premise for a course — prior in the life of courses have engaged with Ludacris, Kandi Burruss, and Steve Harvey, all entrepreneurs in their own right. The BAWSE is a bona fide nexus of diverging areas of law himself: Wingstop franchising and the associated legal “complications,” buying cars and avoiding the DMV’s mail fraud accusations, not to mention one of the most easily avoidable contract breaches in recent rap history. Really? Nobody in his camp told him how rapey that line was?

Employment law, a review of tax codes, hell a brief story of his time as a CO could justify a crim law tie-in. There’s a lot of space to learn. Best of luck to Georgia’s finest! You’re gonna need it when you have to take a break from his albums long enough to read the material.
