Even Gwyneth Paltrow -- the Queen of GOOP -- occasionally loses sight of her inner boss.

Luckily, when that starts to happen, she knows who to turn to: Rick Ross, the Teflon Don himself.

In a column for her friend Jay-Z's lifestyle site, Life + Times, Paltrow contributes a list of her favorite summer jams.

One of the tunes included? French Montana's "Pop That," which features guest verses by Ross, Drake and Lil Wayne. "Rick Ross puts me in a good mood," she explains of her choice. "He just does."

The GOOP authoress also recommends Juicy J's "Who Da Neighbors" ("You just have to hear it. It's as brilliant as it is funny") and newcomer Kendrick Lamar's "The Recipe," which features Dr. Dre.
