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.
