On “Free Mason,” Rick Ross made it impossible to deny, joining forces with arguably the greatest lyricist of all time — Jay-Z. A full-fledged duet that saw both rappers rhyming as equals, Ross and Jigga proved complementary to one another with two imagery-laden verses rich in religious iconography. “I understand that folks expect me to fold, community control to violate parole,” spits Ross, over triumphant production from The Inkredibles. “I won’t fail, but a lot of men will, I’m iconic in the field like Solomon’s Seal.”

Happy ten year anniversary to Teflon Don, an album that many might still celebrate at Rick Ross’ best yet. Where do you stand on the topic?

QUOTABLE LYRICS

I understand that folks expect me to fold
Community control to violate parole
I won’t fail, but a lot of men will
I’m iconic in the field like Solomon’s Seal
