8. "I Am Your Leader" By Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross & Cam'ron
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW9rITLjKz8 Lyric: "I'm Monday Night with the raw/I'm Vince McMahon with the beat/Powerslamming them hammers, I get you handled for free" Rick Ross gets the nod here as he delivered three consecutive lines with pro wrestling references. If you listen to Ross' work, you'll hear a lot of references to cocaine and cocaine distribution. It is no surprise whatsoever that he works a cocaine reference at the start, using wordplay with "raw" (pure, uncut cocaine). By saying he's "Monday Night" with it, he's saying that he's the biggest show in town when it comes to people who need to buy some coke. Next up is a line bragging about how well he can handle whatever beat he decides to rap on. Whether you love him or you hate him, Vince McMahon is an undeniable legend. That's how Rick Ross sees himself. He also has a large fan base to go with a large group of detractors, but he is still selling records and making money. Throw in a threat that he can have you killed if you oppose him, and it rounds off the bars here.
