1. Rick Ross feat Styles P, "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)" - "Aston Martin Music" and all three installments of "Maybach Music" show Rick's opulent, aspirational side. But "B.M.F." shows Rozay's dark side, portraying him as a ruthless street general. Eschewing the luxe, melodic production he uses so beautifully elsewhere, Ross teams up with Lex Luger to trunk-rattling effect, making Big Meech and Larry Hoover household names in the process. This is Ross and his Maybach Music brand at their most ferocious and determined.  (Photo: Sean O'Kane/BET)
