Who's The Boss?

Apparently, Rick Ross released an album just recently. Now, if you know me then you know that "Hustlin'" is one of my all-time rap songs in the history of Rap. I mean as far as crack music goes it is superb. The swagger is staggering. I mean as Katt Williams put it,"even if your job don't involve hustlin' it will make you do anything and e'rything better." Freaking right.

So, when I realized that The Boss had come out with a new album and I hadn't heard it. Well, I considered it a disservice to myself. So, this weekend I purchased Trilla by Rick Ross. And it is pretty dang good. Don't get me wrong. If you are expecting some type of social commentary or any real redeeming social value other than that of pop awareness... then Trilla is not for you.

However, if you are looking for an album that will shake your trunk and sound good with your windows down when driving at about 25-35 mph. If you want visions of spinnin' wheels, speedboats, drug runs, raining cash. Then Trilla is the album for you.

While there is no song that even comes close to the pop brilliance and replayability of "Hustlin'" There is one song that is pretty dang good. "The Boss feat. T-Pain" is pretty serviceable. As are "Luxury Tax feat. Lil Wayne" and "Maybach Music." But "The Boss" is definitely the gem of the album. However when some guest stars rap a verse on a track it does make Ross kind of pale by comparison (Lil Wayne and Jay-Z) In fact Lil Wayne has one of my favorite verses in the whole album "They said I couldn't play football I was too small./They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall./They say I couldn't play baseball at all./And now everyday of my life I ball." Also, did I mention a sampling of Human League? Yeah. Real Talk.

But enough of my jibber jabber

Favorite Lyrics:

"Just another day in the life of the g**d*** boss"

"Who gives a f*** what a hater gotta say,/ I got a couple million dollars last year dealin' weight."

"10 black maybachs back to back in the lane"

"Caesar salad/Caesar's palace/you're not a boss lil n***a cause your cheese is average"
