Rick Ross - Teflon Don (Out Now!)

[sdot23]

Rick Ross' fourth studio album Teflon Don is gonna come out on July 6th. The first single is "Super High" featuring Ne-Yo. The video came out but it's not on YouTube yet. Here's an article from Rap-Up about the collabos with Drake and Jay-Z:

The walls surrounding Rick Ross’ guarded album Teflon Don are slowing beginning to fall. After revealing that Kanye West is featured on his potential second single “Live Fast, Die Young,” the Miami rapper shares details with Rap-Up.com about two more high-profile collaborations.

The man who brought you “Maybach Music” now has something for you to bang in another luxury whip. Ross sits in the driver’s seat while Drake rides shotgun on “Aston Martin Music.” “That’s a special record,” he says of his pairing with the Young Money star, who sings and raps on the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League production. “It’s a real street, edgy song, but the melodies of the chorus almost leave the listener in a trance.”

The Bawse also worked with another boss, Jay-Z, on an untitled song produced by The Inkredibles. “It’s still untitled because the chorus is so overwhelming and there’s so many dope things being said that we haven’t really decided between a couple words,” he explains. “Me and Jay on the same record, of course we lyrically murdered it, but the content and certain things we both address is gonna make this record one to remember for many years to come.”

Fans who pick up the deluxe edition of Teflon Don on July 6 will get to see how the collabo came about. “I took my verse and the concept, I flew out to the Blueprint 3 tour in St. Louis, and I was like a backstage roadie for the next few days,” Ross recalls. “You will see me play the record for [Jay-Z] for the first time, and by the time he heard it the third time, he was rapping his verse.”

With all the hype - some are calling him the new Biggie - can this album scan a million? His first two are gold, the third uncertified, but internet pundits are skeptical regardless of past success.

EGO, what do u think? Can Teflon Don scan a million?

Impossible. iDont even know if there's a single for it.

200k first week/500k overall TOPS. Sheriff Ross ain't making any arrests with this year's alb3rm, deputy.

[Oɴʟуßoy®]

His last album with the track with t-pain was good. i think that was his best effort. Well whatever he puts out is more likely to debut at #1 since he chosed the easiest week to release. Hopefully Kelis outsells that ogre. I can only hope lol

New pic of Rick smoking a cigarette. What's rolled inside, I don't know. ???



Not much chatter in this thread. :'(

[Wavey✨️]

I like Rick Ross,but he should have picked a different single.

[sdot23]

I don't think this album is gonna do as well as his others. Nobody's really checkin for him anymore, and those Biggie comparisons are a joke....the only similarities between them are that they're black and obese.

Super High isnt doing terrible but I think everyone is seeing right through it being a Magnificent rehash and I dont think that is going to help his album sell. I doubt Kelis is going to sell more than him though. LOL

Pushed to July 20

[sdot23]

He got some big names on the album! I really wanna hear the Kanye and Drake tracks.

Rick took advantage of his two BET Awards performance slots by rapping live. You'd think an up-and-coming femcee given three opportunities would do the same, but I guess not. At the rate the hype is growing, Teflon Don could easily do 1M+ in the first week.

I was going to check Twitter to see if Rick is trending, but they're over capacity, presumably because of people overloading the servers tweeting about The Boss.

"Maybach Music" was good, "Maybach Music 2" was amazing. I can't wait to hear this one!

If Drake can't open with 500,000 what makes you think Rick will open with 1Mil the first week? ???

Drake's a new artist. This is Rick's fourth album. You forget that it wasn't until his fifth or sixth album that Wayne sold a million first week out. An artist needs to be established before 1M ppl are gonna be willing to pay for their disc right away.



Plus Rick is more respected in the h00d.

Hey, Rick Fans, I bring good news from the land of RT.

John Gotti’s Grandson Calls Out Rick Ross for ‘Teflon Don’ Title




Former drug kingpin Ricky “Freeway” Ross isn’t the only one who has a bone to pick with rapper Rick Ross. The grandson of mobster John Gotti is calling out hip-hop’s boss for poaching his grandfather’s nickname.

Carmine Agnello Jr., better known as Carmine Gotti, was less than pleased when he heard the Miami MC had chosen Teflon Don as his album title. His late grandfather, mob boss John Gotti, was dubbed the “Teflon Don” after winning multiple acquittals. “My grandfather paid his dues for that nickname,” Gotti told the New York Daily News. “That was my grandfather’s life.”

Agnello, who is trying to launch his own hip-hop career, wishes Ross had spoken with the Gotti family before using the name. “He should have asked for permission. A standup, respectable guy would come and ask if [he] could use the nickname,” said the 24-year-old. “I think he’s a great artist, but you can’t just start calling yourself that to sell records. He wants to go for that whole image, but hey, be yourself.”

In addition to labeling him a copycat, Agnello took a personal jab at Ross and his past occupation. “Only in America can you go from being a corrections officer to calling yourself Teflon Don,” he quipped.

While it may be causing a stir with the Gottis, Rick Ross’ new album is receiving rave reviews from critics. Teflon Don will battle Eminem’s Recovery for No. 1 on next week’s albums chart.

Live Fast, Die Young is my new anthem! I cannot wait for Kanye's album. He's back on his grind and is killing it.

[HER MINAJesty]

Rick Ross jetted from NYC to MIA for his album release party on Tuesday night (July 20). The Teflon Don received a hero’s welcome in his hometown, flying in via helicopter to the packed event at King of Diamonds gentleman’s club. Miami princess Trina showed love to her Slip-N-Slide labelmate, who will appear on E!’s “Chelsea Lately” tonight.

[SHOOTER]

170-180k for next week. He's definitely a consistent seller.

[tamed09]

It's an amazing album

[Cautionme11/16]

I'm about to give it the 1st spin.

Nice album. Short n sweet to the point.

This.

It's very rare you hear Erykah Badu and Raphael Saadiq on a commercial rap album. "Maybach Music III" and "All The Money In This World" are pretty hot. "Super High" almost sounds like an album track.

Oh. The label heads need to scrap "B.M.F." and release "Aston Martin Music" instead. It's the most commercial song on the album. Even without the rap, Drake owned the song.

BMF is on track to be a bigger hit than Super High. I dont see a reason to cancel it

[B-Boy]

^ I haven't been following the Billboard charts that much lately. It is bigger than "Super High" now that I checked. BMF is at #17 on R&B/Hip Hop and #82 on the Hot 100. I hope he can get a third single from this album.
