Hip-Hop heavyweights Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj team up for the former’s new single ‘You The Boss’ – the first to be lifted from his 5th studio album ‘God Forgives, I Don’t’ (due December 1st).
With Nicki breaking her collabo hiatus, this needed to be a homerun. Is it? Find out after the jump…
While wholly listenable (and likely a future radio staple), the cut falls short of expectation. For, on paper, it boasts all the workings of a stellar track (see: major feature, hard-hitting title). Yet, in reality the production is generic.com, as is Minaj’s contribution – which ultimately could have been phoned in by any run-of-the-mill R&B chick. Sans the autotune too.
Basic.

They should’ve got a singer, singer.
GIMMICKi Minaj
Sounds catchy.
They’re both at the top of their game, they better milk on it while it lasts.
I won’t even listen to it, but did you seriously file it under Rick Ross??So that means that you’re going to post about him regularly now?? *sigh* I understand that he is getting a bit of a success now, so he’s going to get blog coverage, but there have been SOOOO many amazing rappers this year releasing material and you haven’t posted anything about them yet 🙁 I’m just hoping for more Nas and Common posts now that they are coming back, PLEASE!
Ew Rick Ross OBESE FLOP ASS ! & Why Have Someone TRY to Sing On A Song If The B**** Cant Sing ????? I Would Rather Her WACK ASS NURSERY RHYMES !
Sounds mediocre… He should have got a SINGER.
Tired of Nicki… Tired of Rick Ross
Is this all about this man raps about? Who’s a BOSS? With a few occasional grunts inbetween like he just noticed a sirloin steak infront of him?
She’s getting so tired, seriously….
And Officer Fraud is someone I just can’t take serious
@ASAP
PREACH IT.
“Nasty” and “Ghetto Dreams” are my sh*t 🙂
just listen better version of this i must i kinda like it!!!!!
YAS! @ASAP I’m so damn anxious for Nas and Common album releases 🙂
Oh, and the song is garbage.
@Army you still checkin for nicki like everybody else even tho you can’t stand her! Nice job! LOL.
You know don’t matter what you n***** think. Same always posting nicki’s s*** even tho they may not even be official singles cuz he must be a fan. Nicki Minaj is always recording and doing collabs since day 1 after her mixtapes. You don’t like her then don’t listen. She still gonna do her regardless.
*Sam always posting nicki’s s***.
@Army if it was lil kim singing you’d be like damn, she can sing. So stfu. Lol. Too bad she sounds worse than nicki tho. No, nicki not the greatest singer but she’s not known as one anyway so who cares. When she’s auto-tuned she sounds decent.
i see you Nicki tight collab,keep doing you waiting on that video.
tight collab waiting on that vid hope ross drop it asap.
Why in the fcuk is she singing hooks???? I hated it. I wanted to hear her rap
THIS NICKI MINAJ HATES LIL KIM! YET BRINGS HER UP IN EVERY NICKI MINAJ COMMENT POST!
WHY IS THAT ? (BEYONCE VOICE)
Lmao
i love how thatFLOPjuice says everything is generic. B**** you’re a middle aged bitter black queen. YOU ARE generic. Broke ass. DON’T THINK i’ll forget you on the Janet Jackson Forum, Sam begging PLEADING people to come check out your blog
It is okay, love Nicki verse!
I guess the better question is why are lil kim fans always the first ones to the nicki post before the nicki stans. LOL. Usually on kim post the kim fans are the first to talk about nicki like malibu barbie. Looks like army took her place. But she’ll be back. Pressed b****.
two frauds in one song? i wish the real biggie was alive. lilkim please stand up.
@Jesus well he isn’t alive. But even in his death he is more remembered than lil flop ever will be. LOL. “We wish kim….blah blah blah.” B****, you talking about the same kim that hasn’t had a hit in 6 years. Yall shoulda been wishing HARDER then. LOL. Trina already took kim’s place. NO one is checkin for lil flop. Get the f*** over it you retrospect retards.
@I’MA HAVE TO SEND HER TO HER MAKER you are a delusional bytch.Trina took Kim’s place?Bytch please.Y’all Nicki fans are always hating on kim post so don’t try and start that.You are extremely bias and a hypocrite your dismissed.
@Ima H** PLEASE You Come Popping S*** On Kim’s Post So Take A Seat ! HYPOCRITE !!!!! If Kim Was Singing I Would Say Kims Needs To Stick To Rapping Cus She CANT Sing ! Im Not A delusional Kim Fan Acting Like Everything She Does Is Perfect Like YOU NICKI STANS & Her Auto Tunes Singing Is A FLOP Drake Auto Tunes Is WAY BETTER ! & B**** Me & Malibu Barbie Speak the Truth If You Can Take The Heat GET OUT THE KITCHEN !!!!
& 2nd Of ALL @ Ima This Is A RICK ROSS POST JUST LIKE BIG SEAN’S POST Yesterday So STFU Not Everything Is About Miss Gimmick Minaj !
No way…he probably scored Minaj because no one else wanted to degrade their brand with this auto-tuned crap.
DONT KNOW BOUT THIS…WEAK!! COMPARED TO THE SO CALLED “HEAVY WIEGHTS” THEY BOTH ARE DOPE RAPPERS…KIND OF FELL SHORT
SHE NEEDS TO BE RAPPING
LOL
LIKE NICKI BUT THIS WASNT FOR HER WITH THAT REPETITIVE ASS HOOK
FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I like it, but Nicki is becoming more of a ‘singer’ than a ‘rapper’.
Didnt like it at first but nickis voice and melody caught on to me very quick. Laid back track with Ross giving that water like flow….it will be a video hit if it gets that far
