Rick Ross’ Teflon Don By the Numbers - Raps Per Minute (...Lol)


This past Tuesday, Rick Ross released his latest album, Teflon Don. The LP is Ross’ fourth solo release and, if this week’s projections turn out to be correct, it has the potential to be his fourth consecutive album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. For that to happen, though, it means that he’ll have to overtake Eminem’s Recovery, which has sat atop the charts since it dropped in mid-June and has already gone platinum.

Earlier in the week, XXL posted its official rating of the album. But after our Aim & Fire discussion about whether or not Ross can stand on his own two, we decided to break the album down even further to see just how much time the Bawse spent on his own disc. Here, we break Teflon Don down by the numbers… “Young and radical, methods are mathematical.” —Compiled by Adam Fleischer and Calvin Stovall
