’10 Best Albums: #2 Rick Ross Teflon Don
January 7, 2011 @ 6:46 PM EST
News
Rick Ross remained impervious with his fourth studio album, Teflon Don. He pulled out the big guns and recruited folks like Jay-Z (“Free Mason”) and Kanye West (“Live Fast, Die Young”) to help manifest his street dreams. He showed modesty on “I’m Not A Star” and wrestled with vulnerability on “Tears Of Joy”. On the production tip, The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League steer “Maybach Music III” and “Aston Martin Music”. DJ Clark Kent and The Remedy elevate “Super High” while Lex Luger’s sonic boom (“B.M.F.” and “MC Hammer”) carry the project over the threshold. At only 11 tracks, Teflon Don sticks to a familiar script: quality over quantity.
that is just fucking stupid. EMINEM IS NUMBER ONE #teamshady FUCK ROSS
This album isn’t better than Eminem’s or Drake’s..
This is bout right
I will say this shit had dope production, maybe only Kanye’s shit was better, but the beats on here were serious. And as long as you don’t take Ross serious, then it’s cool…
This album definitely deserves to be #2, straight dope all the way through.(except the diddy track)
RapRadar = joke
u niggas lost ur fuckin mind…this wack fat piece of trash is 2nd and EM is 3rd…and then we have Kanye West the best album…wtf ppl ..that shit is str8 illuminati…and im starting to think that album is a tribute..
I fux with this album, banged it heavy, but this wasn’t better than Recovery or TML. Sorry. I think these lists were going off of popularity…anyways, Kanye was #1, so that’s all that matters.
this album is number 2 album of the year no question bout it way better than ems much more replay value
Right. Deleting this site right now.
How???? HOW is this failed attempt at rap 2nd best of the year?
This album had exactly 2 great songs, the Kanye & the Jay-Z track. The rest was STR8 BU115H1T.
@dashing i feel u on that diddy track whenever i play that cd that the one track i skip
THIS SHIT COMES BEFORE RECOVERY???????
U NO WHAT AINT EVEN GONNA BOTHER WITH THIS SHIT
FUCK U GUYS!!!!!!
Hello 2dopeboyz, Goodbye Rapradar. the sight has just lost all credibility with these lists.
I love that album.
i thought rap radar knew there shit but obviouslly no this album doesnt deserve to be on the list at all. This shit is a complete joke
Rapradar has lost my respect SMH. Miami Police Dept. is GOTTA be blackmailing Elliott and his RR crew.
cosign @dashing again, lol.
@Ac@pella
i don’t think ross being #2 has anything to do with popularity, necessarily. cuz eminem and drake are overall more popular than ross i believe. shrug*
in any case. teflon do was a veerrry well crafted, well put together album. (except for that disgusting diddy joint) …i didn’t really like the joint with saadiq either. but the rest of the album sounds great. production wise, and what he does on the production. ross got crazy mic presence.
SUCK MY DICK RAP RADAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SIR LUSCIOUS SHOULD BE #2!!!! YA’LL FUCKED UP AGAIN!!!! BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE YA’LL SHOULD JUST CHANGE IT TO “MOST POPULAR ALBUMS OF 2010”!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
YESSS!! I want Ross to get a Grammy! Fuck the Haters!
Real Life Hustlin’ is played out!
bye bye to my bookmarks, duche bag elliot wilson
yall got it right – a lot of yall look stupid still spewing negativity at the man — none of your favorite rappers do what they talk about, if they did, they wouldn’t have any problems with release dates and getting their shit out.
dumb bitch he aint nominated:

fucking retard
i bet you from south dade huh?
furthermore
quality music? this fat fuck is snitching. and is carried by producers. no value of his words. and if he was acutally making the music as a producer he MIGHT get more respect.
but you only like what the machine tells you to like so have fun serving time when rossifer pulls over your cutlass next week when you got a tail light out homie and they find the guns and drugs you stashing under that played out fubu jersey from 98 that you got from your big brothers box in the garage

#2 IS GOOD, I ENJOY THIS ALBUM, IT DESERVES THIS PLACE
EM’S STANS ARE BORING
IF YOU DON’T ACCEPT TEFLON DON > RECOVERY
CREATE YOUR OWN WEBSITE, DO YOUR LIST AND JERK OFF TOGETHER ON MARSHALL’S FACE
hhhhhhhhhhhhhh joke of decade
fake ross cope is artist !!!!! 0.o
hiphop dead
even nicki minaj’s album was better than this
and thats saying alot
fuck this shit . i don’t give a fuck this shit was good or not . the thing is , rapradar supports fake artist who cares only about $ . fuck you , fuck you , fuck you .
i feel like ross is an average rapper but he just got some good people to make good songs like i cant lie i was always listenin to bmf and ashton martin music last year but still #2? this should be #3 maybe even four
and lol at all the eminem freaks
Hmm… Im not sure about this one…
Meh, Roots should be in this spot. But whatever music is subjective. Cool list double RR…
Teflon Don has been in my stereo since June (a month before it was out) Teflon Don is an amazing album. My fav 3 songs would be Frree Mason, Live Fast Die Young, BMF. MAYBACH MUSIC!!!! DERSERVED NUMERO UNO. BOSSS
fuck the haters, fakes the new real
lol meth ghost & rae’s was called one of the worst because it was so short among other reasons. yet this is one short piece of shit too. on good tracks are LFDY and FM
hahahahhahahahahahahhahahahah.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahh …. get the fuck outta here.. ahahahahahahhahahsa…
im offically done with this site.. its been fun.. peace and love…
I keep coming back to quite a few joints on this.
all u haters suck a dick!!! its funny how u cant accept failure!!! u lose rosss wins!!!!!
Something tells me Em could give two shits as he laughs all the way to the bank. Besides he straight ethered Ross and everyone else who pushed their album’s back to avoid the Shady bomb on June 22nd.
“Run as fast as you can, stop writing and kill it/I’m lightning in a skillet, you’re a fucking flash in the pan/I POP UP YOU BITCHES SCATTER LIKE HOT GREASE SPLASHIN’ THE FAN/Mr. Mathers is the man” – On Fire
Ross scattered and still got his consecutive #1 streak broken. So to all the Shady fans please stop crying over this website. Your leader really could care less.
Rick Ross fuckin blows BIG FAT DICK
He’s bot even good at all
He looks like a gorilla
R
Not a big Ross fan, but he does have one bitchin’ beard.
That nigga Lex Lueger at #2
before producer ##1west
RR = A-ma-zing
YN = Stellar Hip Hop for 2011 again…
smfh @ the commenters on this site, if you idiots can’t admit that Ross had the best album of the year until Kanye dropped MBDTF you got issues.
Rick Ross at number 2? His rhymes are elementary at best and if it wasn’t for the production he gets he would already be out of the game. What kind of payola did Def Jam give rapradar for this review?
GLAD THIS ALBUM GOT # 2 THE PRODUCTION IS GOOD N THE LIRICS ARE TOO, I HATE THE FACT THAT NIGGAS TRY TO TAKE HIS CREDIT FOR BEIN A C.O IS REALLY NOT THAT SERIOUS WHO CARES WHAT JOB U HAD HIS THE MOST IMPROVE RAPPER IN MY OPINION N COME ON WHO LISTEM TO EM ANYMORE I DONT KNOW A SINGLE PERSON WHO GOT THAT NIGGAS ALBUM IAM NOT HATIN BUT WHO RELATES TO THE CRAP HE TALKS ABOUT I KNOW ROSS TALKS RECKLEES TOO BUT ITS INTERTAININ `
I really dont want to say whose album was best between Kanye and Ross cuz both were great. But as far as Em he is a great rapper but just not relateable to me. I’ve never bought 1 Em album. I have all Ross’s albums and all Kanye’s except 808’s. Just not that big of a fan of Em’s sorry……. All 4 of Ross albums are good. How many rappers can say they put out 4 solid albums in a row…. None except Jay Z
Q
Since when did spitting two verses on ur album become acceptable.
I don’t really wanna say whose album was better between Kanye and Ross cuz both were great…. AS far as Em he is a great rapper but he is not relatable to me I have’nt bought 1 Em album but I have all Kanye’s except 808’s and all 4 of Ross’s. Ross has put out 4 good or even great albums. Teflon Don has only 1 skip song (diddy’s joint) so that’s 10/11 good songs.Ross has 4 solid albums in a row. how many other rappers can say that except Jay Z……. Just not a Em fan sorry..
who come up with this fucking list.? rick ross raps too slow for me. he fucking sucks dick. monkey..
This is touchy….because:
I like Teflon Don’s production more than Recovery’s..but that says nothing about the artist
Teflon Don was an album packed with top-line producers creating amazing beats with just as amazing Features. I cannot give Rick Ross credit for this album, he was not the creator of this work of art; but simply a mediocre rapper along for the ride.
This album deserves this spot, but again, the ‘artist’ not so much….
yea this album put Ross in a good position, had some stuff that sounded good but he is still A FAKE FABRICATED RAPPER
Haa T.I.’s on Aston Martin Music…shouldn’t that be the worst song of the album??
V
Everyone is saying either Ross, Eminem or Kanye had the best album. But damn, what about Freeway & Jake One and Ghostface Killah? Those were, in my opinion, the two best hip hop albums of the year and no one knows it. Lyrically, Kanye’s album was trash. Eminem went pop on Recovery, and Rick Ross isn’t exactly a solid lyricist. Lets go Freeway and Ghostface!!
Modesty on “I’m Not A Star”?( “If I die today remember me like John Lennon/ Buried in Louis, I’m talking all brown linen”)
Vulnerability on “Tears of Joy”(Name-dropping important figures)
Hellyoutalmbout, RR?
these dudes all hatin on ross. this is right where it should be. people give this guy no credit, smh
fuck rapradar, what a fucking joke site. I’m going to nahright and 2dopeboyz.
EMINEM EMINEM EMINEM EMINEM #1
This album deserves to be # 2 no doubt… It has tremendous replay value & is nowhere near bullshit ,, Jus because Ross was a Correctional Officer doesn’t mean he wasnt pushin work… C.Os have one of the most dirtiest jobs involving the law,,, they help them get drugs in prison
I like this as #2, Pilot talk not making top ten is fucked though

This album was very very baaad… This list is bullshit… Who the fuck are you to making this and tell us who’s the best!! Next Time Ask Us the Viewers of this fucking blog!
“If we gotta dumb down our style and ABC it
then so be it
cause nowadays these kids, jeez
don’t give a shit bout lyrics
all they wanna hear is a beat and thats it ” – Eminem
correct, although if it was up to me ill put this as number one, the only people who might disagree with this are eminem fans(they shouldnt complain anyway because em wins every other award under the sun everytime he drops something) but yea this album was tuff production and entertainment wise it was off the radar, them beats are by far the best in hiphop right now(everyone included)
What tha Fuck Rick Ross is number 2 and eminem is 3 that is impossible.
Teflon Don is shit
EMINEM 4Life
QUESTION: Who rides around in their car playin Kanye West or Eminem or Drake? Teflon Don should’ve been number one! Ross owed the Summer. No…the year!
F
EMINEM’S IS AN ALBUM, THIS HERE IS A AWFUL SHIT WITH NO STORY, SONGS ONLY
ähmm this would be better 2# Thank Me Later 3# Recovery 4# HFM2 ………. 17# Teflon Don

Apollo kids not on this list… Oh yeah sales I forgot. A couple of weeks ago websites were saying… Ghost gave kanye a run for his money for best album of the year…fuck rap gaydar
YOUR PUTTING THIS OVER BIG BOI, DRAKE, EMINEM AND (INSERT ANY RAPPER HERE). WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS. 1. This is over-produced by Lex Luger. 2 Lyrically its subpar 3. Really? Do you really think any of this music will last the test of time? BMF had the shelf life of 2 months. SMH, whoever wrote this list, “Keel yo self”
I’m sorry, but the whole falacy of what is “Rock Ross” simply never added up in my book. Going from a being a REAL LIFE correctional officer to who he’s portraying now is WACK in all sense of the word. By all means, congrats on the successs. But if you’re repping a certain lifestyle as if you’ve been in the game, as he claims, and the facts prove otherwise, I can’t believe you anymore. Like I said, congrats on the success, but his whole career is based on someone elses life, not his own. Can we not agree on that? It is what it is.

I can’t even stress how much this site is wrong on so many levels. Rick Ross #2 album or 2010, Are you serious? Over Eminem? Rap Radar is a site ran by a bunch of uneducated rap enthusiast. Teflon Don should be amongst souljaboy and the rest of the garbage. By the way PUT SOME FUCKING CURREN$Y ON THIS WEBSITE, PILOT TALK I & II ARE CLASSICS. RESPECT REAL MUSIC!!!!!!!
What the hell is going on with this site first you kill us with your love for Shady and now when it counts for you to show your loyalty you jump ship and show love for Ross,a man who has done all he can to be as disparating as possible toward Eminem. You’ll need to quit it.
I think someone is definitely hacking into rapradar & postin’ shit! cos if y’all r doin this on intention, then y’all just missed out on a lot of us dudes who used to love this site… bye rapradar, i’m gone miss y’all. Nah i wont. Not after readin’ all this! (in my Eminem from “KiM’S SONG” voice)
how the hell………………rap radar gave ross…………the lyrical monkey………ok…………i’ve had enough……..delete
BULLSHIT!!!Keep riding this Frauds nutz!!!You cats on this site are fucking deaf!!!This dude and his whole swag are made up and you motherfuckers condone this type of fake shit because you say he makes good music????GTFOH!you fools are a part of the reason Hip Hop is in serious trouble!Go Fuck Yourselves BDot and YN!!!
yo rap radar yall gottttttta be kiddin me…… you really think this cd is better than ems recovery or the roots how i got over…..fo real? the mu fuckin stimulus package from freeway & jake one was better than this siht….yeah the production is ill…..but yall be on ross dick fo real
The real success of Teflon Don comes in Ross’ executive production and the phenomenal A/R work done on the album. On its surface, Teflon Don is another dive into the materialistic depths of your typical hustler turned rapper. But the A/R work and executive production – bringing people like Eryakah Badu, Ceelo, and John Legend on board give Ross’ cliched “I’m a rapper, I have a lot of money, and I know how to spend it” raps a certain measure of depth they would otherwise lack. Combine those features, with Ross lyrical maturity from, unconscious, to semi-conscious, to self aware and I agree, behind Kanye, this was the second best hip-hop album of the year. Those that don’t hear aren’t allowing themselves to.
y’all got quite some lists here. Definitely enjoyed a lot of those albums. Wanted to let everyone know that my site Da-what.com just posted our Top 10 Albums of the year list as well. We got a couple overlaps and a couple that yall left off. http://da-what.com/2011/01/02/top-10-paid-albums-of-2010/ Check it out and let us know what you think! All comments are appreciated.
