As you may have heard, Rick Ross' latest album, God Forgives, I Don't, sprung a leak this week, five days before its physical release. One of the main things we were looking forward to on this project was Ross continuing his epic "Maybach Music" series. The wishes of rap fans have been granted, as Rozay's added a new edition to the series that's been going strong since his sophomore album, Trilla. And yes, it's still produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League.
Four songs deep into the series (plus a sometimes forgotten leaked version that didn't have Ross on it), it's only right we start debating about Which "Maybach Music" Song is Rick Ross' Best? So, we broke down all the songs one-by-one and then picked a winner. [Sexy lady voice says] M-M-MM-Maybach Music!

Rick Ross f/ Jay-Z "Maybach Music" (2008)
Rick Ross f/ Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T-Pain "Maybach Music II" (2009)
Album: Deeper Than Rap
Label: Maybach, Slip-n-Slide, Def Jam
Producer: J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League
Memorable Line: "All black Maybach, I'm sittin' in the asshole." (Lil Wayne)
There's no way we can discuss this song without talking about Wayne's bizarre, so bad it's awesome "I'm sitting in the asshole" line. Every other part of this song is pretty great. Kanye is on his disrespectful shit, chastising losers who won't be getting any ass tonight, T-Pain was at the tail end his "call this guy if you need a banging hook" phase, and Ross had finally begun to harness his full potential as a rapper. It helps that the beat perfectly captured what we imagine sitting in an asshole riding in a Maybach probably feels like.
