Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj: ‘You The Boss’ + Rick Ross: ‘I Love My Bitches’

Two of hip hop’s heavyweights team up as Rick Ross snatches up Nicki Minaj for “You The Boss,” a track from Ross’ upcoming God Forgives, I Don’t. The Maybach Music-styled R&Bish sounding track is pretty smooth, though nothing groundbreaking. Minaj vocalizes the slightly monotonous hook, and contributes more singing than rapping, with a sing-song delivery punctuated by a bit too much auto-tune.

As Rick Ross is set to drop God Forgives, I Don’t, Funkmaster Flex (Hot 97 – NY) got his hands on the early goods, dropping bombs over “You The Boss,” and the Just Blaze-produced “I Love My Bitches,” a bit more energetic track, hanging at the lower end of Just Blaze’s frantic sounding production spectrum.

Both are (for now) radio rips, but are fairly clean and not interrupted by thousands of bombs being dropped, which is always a welcome relief when new tracks debut on Flex’s show.
