Rick Ross - Teflon Don (Discussion Thread)

[MontrealCity's Most]

Hook up so it can go straight in my car for tomrrow???

[Lucifuge]

can some one help's me out

[MediumL]

Will check but the tracks I've heard sound nothing like the classics people were stating. The Cee lo track was weak and the beat on Free Mason wasn't that great imo. PLus the song with Kanye didn't fit Ross' flow.

[WCoastTillIDie]

Super High- Clark Kent WASTED such a fantastic beat on this fool.

[Dogg Ly Dogg]

I'm a bit disapointed by the large amount of average tracks on that short record  
All the first leaked songs were amazing but tracks such as "I'm Not A Star", "Number 1", "MC Hammer"... are really so so and not album material to me
Why "Sweet Life" ain't a record too??? Not just a mixtape track to me

[doggfather]

Theres 11 traxx not ncludin the bonus song?

and only one with him alone without feat...

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

Yeah cuz 4 the most part he cant hold it down without a feature...doggfather how many of his singles have features let alone entire album?

[Matty]

rick ross is just awful but a couple of good beats on here.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

And thats comin from matty...a strong critic

[Matty]

And thats comin from matty...a strong critic

well the 'super high' beat is super fly and funky. and danja rarely dissapoints for something fresh, one of the top few producers in the game. rick ross is laughably bad though, fake or real or whatever.

[Prof@ssor]

one of the best albums of the year....good rhymes...good production...goodfeatures...50 lost.

[Lunatic]

1. I'm Not a Star - The opening John Lennon line is dope. Rick Ross paints great pictures. Beat is motherfuckin' fire. Ross' flow on it works great. Very dope Intro. - 4/5
2. Free Mason - Beat is dopel. Ross spits nice on here. Love the JFK line. Jay-Z verse is a classic. Wish John Legend did the whole hook. His vocals work well though. - 4.5/5

3. Tears of Joy - No I.D. delivers as usual. Ross is great on the first verse. Cool to see him collaborate with Cee-Lo who delivers a great hook. Ross performs well. - 4.5/5

4. Maybach Music III - Beat is dope and T.I. spits good. Not his best verse but far from his worse and it fits the beat. Same case for Jadakiss. So cool Erykah Badu is on this. She's awesome on it as expected. Rick Ross is good on here too. "Parents never had a good job, now it's black american express cards" is an example of how great Ross is at painting pictures. Better than Maybach Music III and almost on par with part one. - 4.25/5

5. Live Fast, Die Young - Has really grown on me. Hook and beat are great. Can't go wrong with Kanye. "If she died on my dick she would live through my rhymes" haha. Kanye sounds great on here too; as he should, it's his own beat [with No I.D.]. They should shoot a video for this. - 4.5/5

6. Super High - We've all heard this. Smooth beat and Ne-Yo kills the hook. A little more mainstream but still a very good single for what it is. A classic smooth Ross single. - 4/5

7. No. 1 - Danja beat! Different vibe than the rest of the album. More of an up tempo club feel. Messes up the vibe a bit but the song works. Right before the hook the beat hits HARD. Diddy sounds good on the beat too. The Trey hook is decent. - 3.75/5

8. MC Hammer - Up tempo once again. "My top back, I'm circumcised" lol. Ross flow worked on here. Gucci sounds catchy on here I guess. - 3.5/5

9. B.M.F. - Sounds very similar to MC Hammer. It's actually kind of weird how similar they sound. And there sequenced right next to one another lol. Bad to say but someone like Jeezy, Plies or Yo Gotti would have sounded better on here instead of Styles P. It doesn't even sound like Styles P. - 3.5/5

10. Aston Martin Music - Back on track with the vibe. Michele is very dope on here. The beat switch up works great for Drake's part at the end of the hook to fit him. 4.25/5
11. All the Money in the World - Beat is good. Cool to see Saadiq on the hook. Interesting album closer. - 3.5/5

Overall: 4/5

Rick Ross delivers yet another great album. Not sure where this fits in his discography yet but it's yet another solid effort. Ross is 4/4 IMO. With 4 albums in the books, he definitely needs to be seen as one of the most consistent artists in the current south and not only is he no slouch like many claim he is, but he is also definitely here to stay, a stay which has already lasted longer than most predicted it would, and a stay that will certainly continue.

Tracks 7-9 sort of mess up the vibe (although I like #7) and 8-9 sound very similar to one another (although I bet both tracks 8 & 9 will BANG in the car). A very small blemish on a great effort.

Best tracks:
Free Mason
Tears of Joy
Live Fast, Die Young

Great tracks:
Maybach Music III
I'm Not a Star
Super High
Aston Martin Music

Decent:
No.1

Worst:
B.M.F.
MC Hammer
All the Money in the World

According to allhiphop this is not the real album. Which makes sence since there is no tracks of just Ross. It just seems unfinished to me but is pretty good anyway, I am sure I am not alone in wishing it was not Ross on the beats,

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

im witchu no doubt...cant listen to him but shit he raps about is comedy
