Review: Teflon Don – Greatest Hits

Teflon Don – Greatest Hits is one of the most overlooked Memphis rap albums of 2018. His lyrics have actual meaning and truth behind them. He gets deep and political on this album with sons such as Black History, God The Government The Game, Lets Get It, and Lets Talk About. He showcases his awareness of his musical roots of Memphis on songs such as Memphis Blues, Memphis Grizzlies, and Lets Get It. The album uses that crunk Memphis sound and pays tribute to the Memphis sound in terms of rapping, style, delivery, and production.

Lets Talk About is a touchy conscious rap song with deals with the subjects of politics, racism, sex, and crime. This is one of his woke songs. He calls out all the politicians who be lying by saying, “Let’s talk about all the politicians who be lying.” and “Let’s talk about all the black people that they hated.” He talks about how people of color are treated poorly by the US government. Sit back relax and listen while Teflon Don teaches you (and us) knowledge.

The US government exposed saw people of color succeeding in life. For a minute the US government froze people of color. We fail to realize that the government is breaking all of the rules and laws they passed and enacted on. That is what these woke and conscious lyrics mean “We fail to realize that they breaking all of the rules”. They lift you up and tear you down.

We are confused by the television, radio, and gossip. The media is fiction. They lift you up and tear you down. It’s time to change the world. It’s time to think positive. It’s time to get these kids to study so they can get scholarships.

These are the most woke and conscious lyrics to the song. These lyrics are both politically and socially conscious.

The government exposed us
They saw us succeeding in life
For a minute they froze us
Fuck it we some soldiers
Rehabilitated but soon as we doing good
Uncle Sam gotta take it the government
The devil they took prayer out of schools
We fail to realize that they breaking all of the rules
We confused by the television, radio, and gossip
Sit back relax and listen while I’m teach you knowledge
Take your ass to college last choice the army
Whatever it takes for you to dominate the market
Play the fucking game learn from caucasians
Everyday I’m hustling for love and salvation
I teach my brother facts the media is fiction
They lift you up and tear you down
Picture this vision Michael Jackson R Kelly
OJ Simpson Kobe Bryant
They prime examples to the media subscription

It’s time to change the world
It’s time to think positive
Its time to get these kids to study so they can get scholarships
Don’t tell me how I oughta feel
Our race is looking sad

Everybody growing up and they loving just to sagg
I ain’t tryna sound perfect I’m just keeping it real
The crime rate is up and people’s getting killed
No excuses for the lost souls
I’m searching for some hope
Lost a homie in the game

Black History is a politically and socially conscious rap song about black history in the United States of America made by people of color. This is another one of his woke songs. He talks about how people of color are treated poorly by the US government. Black history is American history is something the US government doesn’t teach us. The US government doesn’t teach us about our people. Sit back relax and listen while Teflon Don teaches you (and us) knowledge.

Teflon Don talks about how people of color were and still are treated poorly by the US government with these lyrics. “Before the Civil War, every race had slaves/Blacks were treated worst, I take this to my grave” Before the Civil War, every race had slaves. Black people (people of color) were treated the worst prior to Civil War.

People of color still have to live, learn, adapt, and overcome all the hatred. This world is still racist. They just play the game. Teflon Don explains how people of color still have to live, learn, adapt, and overcome all the hatred because this world is still racist in these lyrics, “Live, learn, adapt, and overcome all the hatred/This world is still racist/They just play the game/See it in their eyes”

The US government has assassinated black leaders, they never found our weakness. Kidnapped them from their home land by forcing them to become slaves. Forgive them all but don’t forget the past. History repeats itself. The bible teaches you that. We need to love each other and understand another.

These are the most woke and conscious lyrics to the song. These lyrics are both politically and socially conscious.

First chapter black history motivational speaker
American History don’t teach us about our people
So I’m go’n have to teach ya
Knowledge yeah I feed ya
Cut the speakers up so we can play follow the leader
Before the Civil War, every race had slaves
Blacks were treated worst, I take this to my grave
God, Government, Game, 3 G’s baby
Live, learn, adapt, and overcome all the hatred
This world is still racist, they just play the game
See it in their eyes, you can’t fool me mane
I love white folks, I love black folks
I love all folks, Obama gave the world some hope
Young rappers come see what I see uh
The record companies make you downgrade your own people
Talk about dope, get played all day

Assassinated our leaders, they never found our weakness
Kidnapped us from the land, made us serve white Jesus
I forgive them all, but don’t forget the past
History repeats itself, the bible teach you that
Define the word black, and its all bad
Define the word white, now that will make you mad
Black history black history please speak to me
Provide me with the word to teach a whole industry
One penny, one channel
B.E.T one month, February my pain and suffering no stunt
We need to love each other understand another
One white, one black, equals two brothers
One hater, 2 haters, equals dead busters
Let us build up the country, don’t let it crumble
Take the ball and run it, try not to fumble
You obtained knowledge, now remain humble

Memphis Grizzlies is a song dedicated to the professional basketball team Memphis Grizzlies. The song shows the sport side of Memphis, Tennessee along with Teflon Don.

Memphis, Tennessee is on the map for those that don’t know and don’t nobody represent Memphis too often. Memphis, Tennessee isn’t just known for its music, food, and crime. Memphis is also home of the Memphis Grizzlies which is a basketball team. Coach Hollins put Memphis Grizzlies in the game. Watch them win it. That’s the business.

The Memphis Grizzlies are on fire and going hard. They force their opponents to retire. Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, and OJ Mayo got the crowd saying, “There he go!” as they dribble the ball down the court. Watch them shoot another 3-pointer from half time. Allen Iverson left but they are still the truth.

I rate this album 5/5*****!
