The Boss vs. the Bawse: Who's Better, Bruce Springsteen or Rick Ross?

[Editor's note: Deathmatch pairs two artists who have something in common, and determines who is better. It's a concept we sort-of ripped off from MTV, except that instead of claymation it's the printed word!]

Rick Ross is a portly MC. Bruce Springsteen is a canonical singer-songwriter who once got a lot of compliments because of his ass. Both are known as The Boss, although with Ross it's more fun to spell it The Bawse. He recently rolled through town, while Springsteen is performing here in April. It begs the pregunta: Who's better, The Bawse or The Boss?

Deepness Of Voice
Springsteen has manly, gutteral singing chops that once epitomized American masculinity. Ross's voice sends eight-year-old Chilean boys into puberty against their will.

​Facial hair
Back when he was the new Bob Dylan in the early '70s, Springsteen had some wispy what-have-yous crawling out of his face. It wasn't pretty, but people weren't into looking good back then, they were into rambling beat poetry that, in the end, amounted to nothing. Ross, on the other hand, has a tremendous, full beard, one which makes him more fetching with each passing month.

Wealth
The Boss is one of the most successful musicians of the last forty years. He's sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, and has been a top touring act for decades. By all accounts he's managed his money well, and doesn't make major financial decisions without consulting his advisor. Ross, however, has never even gone platinum, largely due to diminishing sales in the file-sharing age. He spends his cash on luxury cars, yachts, and helicopters with dubious resale value. All that said, Ross named his recent mixtape Rich Forever, so there's that.

Health
Though some speculate Springsteen has had some work done, his body looks like what a 62-year-old man who does push-ups should. Ross, however, seems unlikely to make it to 62. His pores ooze lipids; he sweats Crisco. Still, his weed habit seems likely to have medicinal value.

Facility With The Ladies
Springsteen remains an international sex symbol of the highest order. He was divorced once, and then was accused of cheating on his second wife, but that was never proven in court. He could have just about any woman in the world over 40, but chooses to keep his ding dong in his pants most of the time. The Bawse, meanwhile, makes love to any woman who comes into his peripheral vision, so long as she's hotter than a four.
