5.0 out of 5 stars Silencing the Critics: How Rick Ross Created a Near Perfect album, September 1, 2010

This review is from: Teflon Don (Audio CD)

With this his forth official release Rick Ross aka the Teflon Don might just have scored his best yet. I must start by saying I wasn't even a fan of Rick Ross before this album. All I knew to be honest was he did the song Hustlin. That song doesn't even begin to compare however to any of the songs on this album. Beginning with I'm Not a Star which is basically three minutes of Ross patting himself on the back we get something entirely different. The samples are more soulful and the guests more in-tune with Ross and exactly what he wants. On Free Mason, Ross and Hova himself go back and forth, and Ross just might end up outscoring his friend and co-worker. With Tears of Joy, Ross delivers what could be his most "serious" song to date with a breathtaking chorus delivered by Cee-Lo. (This could easily be one of the best of 2010.) The rest of the album follows a similar path with spots from T.I. Jadakiss, Erykah Badu, Drake, Gucci Mane, and Kanye. The only real drawbacks to this album are the lack luster track with Diddy and that it seems to end too soon. With this album, Ross might have simultaneously silenced his critics, delivered one of the best rap albums in a year already overcrowded, and truly lived up to his title as "The Teflon Don." Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars "ME AND MONEY GOT A VENDETTA, LOOKING BACK, TO TELL THE TRUTH I COULD'VE DID BETTA", August 12, 2010

Rick Ross doesn't care. He doesn't care who likes him. He doesn't care who hates his fast cars and fast women rap lifestyle. He's just going to keep making music that he loves. And if you don't like it, oh well. That's confident, cocky & arrogant all at the same time. But that's Rick Ross. And he has a right to be. No matter how much people clown him, he bounces back (the "Officer Ricky" scandal, the beef with 50, the lawsuit with the real Rick Ross) All of that has fed him and now he has dropped his best album so far, "Teflon Don".

"Teflon Don" is a good title for this album because just like John Gotti, nothing sticks to him. He keeps making street bangers and radio hits. Each of his albums has a hit song that gets heavy rotation in the clubs or radio. His first single "Super High", ft Ne-Yo is another radio hit (Similar to "Magnificent" from "Deeper Than Rap") Aston Martin Music", could possibly be another radio hit (I don't know why Drake is on here. He just sings a little on the chorus) As with every Rick Ross album there are a slew of guest appearances starting with Jay-Z on the solid track "Free Mason". Gucci Mane has no purpose on "MC Hammer". Neither does Styles P on "B.M.F (Blowin' Money Fast)". Both these songs are bangers but they sound so similar. They should not have been put back-to-back on the album. I don't know what he was aiming for on "Live Fast, Die Young", ft Kanye West. The same for "No. 1" with Diddy & Trey Songz. The epic "Maybach Music III", has the feel of a good movie. It has a sharp 16 from T.I. and a beautifully sung chorus by Erykah Badu. Jadakiss verse almost ruins the song but then there's a build-up that sets up Rick Ross that's perfect. This might be the best production I ever heard from J.U.S.T.I.C.E League.

Rick Ross must be reading my reviews. After my criticism of "Deeper Than Rap", he has improved in all the areas I burned him on. He has made an album that could have been classic. I think if he would have combined the top 5 songs of "Deeper Than Rap" and the top 6 songs of this album, he would have had a great album. His voice over a banging J.U.S.T.C.E. League track is dynamic. He still has that Mafioso bravado. That "Mayweather money, looking funny in the light" rap style. But this time we learn a little more about William Roberts. And no matter what you say to bring him down. No matter how many beefs he encounters. One thing is for sure, Rick Ross is living fast, spending money & loving his life. No matter if its real or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining album, July 23, 2010

Let's get real here. Rick Ross isn't known for being a lyrical giant or anything like that. He has a occasionally punch line or two and that's it. The fact still remains this album is a good listen. Lyrically yes it's a 3 star album at best, but the end product is really really good. Fantastic for riding around, and letting the sub woofer cut loose. The best thing about the album is there is only 11 tracks which means it's short and to the point. Ross went with a very uncommon approach towards the beginning of the album. He starts if off slow and the albums momentum picks up as it goes along. Uncommon, but a very very good method it turns out. This being my first rick album I am satisfied with what I have. Music for a ground shaking ride down the street. Something I can bop my head to for most of the day. Hip Hop should be about more than who rhymes the best. It's about good music, and this is good music.
