“I may be drunk on the couch, but I’m raising the bar.” Yikes. That type of line didn’t work well when Eminem did it in 2010, and hearing Rick Ross reprise it three years later hasn’t made it sound any better. But, oh well, the dude’s had a pretty hard time lately, what with allegedly almost dying and everything. Ross’ take on Kendrick Lamar’s “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe” has the same chilled-out cadence of the original, but the lyrics are more intimate than we’ve heard recently from Mr. Maybach Music (speaking of Maybach: I love how the Maybach Music shout-out is thrown in to EVERY Rick Ross song, regardless of whether or not it fits: pretty sure I laughed at its seemingly last-place insertion in this track). Did you know that Rick Ross battled dyslexia? Me neither.
