Throughout the week, in interviews and in teasers attached to other Mastermind videos, Rick Ross and Diddy have alluded to “Nobody.”

The song, pulling from Rick Ross’ early 2013 drive-by shooting attack in South Florida, is built around The Notorious B.I.G.’s eerie “You’re Nobody (Til’ Somebody Kills You).” With French Montana in tow, Rawss gets brutally close to the reported accounts of what happened in the video. Both Biggie and 2Pac often used videos to blur the lines between actual events and their on-record persona. Ross, whose openly emulated both artists’ images on various songs and albums as of late, follows suit. Whether it’s keeping it way too real, or laughing in the face of a failed assassination attempt, Rick Ross pulls no punches one of several serious impacts on his life since his 2006 rise to stardom.

Do songs like “Nobody” help Ross remind skeptics that his life is not as fictional as some like to say? If you were R.R., would you address issues this personal?
