If there are any aspiring young rappers out there reading this, now is the time to rejoice. With his second album, Trilla, Rick Ross has proven that all you need to do to have a viable rap career is the foresight to rhyme “Ross” with “Boss.” For those keeping score, that’s two albums on Def Jam, two songs called “Boss. ” Thankfully, for those seeking clarity, the video above explains the truth definition of what it means to be “The Boss.”

Why: Man boobs are an essential part of being a Ross-like titan of industry. See the numerous close-ups of Ross rolling around in his boxers, breasts a-flopping. Wearing any sort of feminine “manssiere” or “bro” is unmanly and should be shunned. As should self-consciousness. The first rule of being a boss is being aware of your sacred duty to show the world your bossy bosom whenever the video-taped opportunity arises.

Examples of Other Ross Bosses: Frank Costanza, Newman, Your Father.
