Backed by the legendary Roots crew, Ricky performs his Teflon Don street single live on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon. Does anyone else secretly wish Black Thought would add a verse to every guest’s song? Anyways, rehearsal footage can be seen after the jump.
it sound sketchy….I think he shouldve performed “super high”,I think it wouldve been better but idk…
Aye Did anybody see Officer Ross when kid cudi got jumped on stage???

Yeah, this song is too simple for a live band to perform and the best part of the song, the sub bass isn’t in the live song.

It’s a pretty basic number for a band to play.
Kinda gets repetitive..bald dude behind Ross looks bored as hell on the keyboard for the entire set. LOL

Aww shit.
Just realised that bald dude is James Poyser.
1 kick ass producer right there.

a big fat L for the entire Hip-Hop culture
Its jus plain shameful to see how they all (The Roots/anchor of the show/audience) pretend to be enjoying the noise/music…

This is better than last time Ross was on the show. Black Thought was actually on stage playing hype man, it was pathetic

Not even the roots could save this bullshit verse/song/sloppy performance.

Ross definitely shouldn’t have performed this w/ the roots. Maybe super high or tears of joy.
Musikfiend said this on July 24th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
I pretty much only listen to this song for David Styles’ verse. [shrug]
The stifled smirk on the woman’s face to Jimmy’s left when he announced the album title is priceless.
3l said this on July 24th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
Man, I’ve actually liked some of Ross’ past performances…but I feel like the choice of songs to perform should always be considered based on setting, audience, etc.
You are performing with “The Roots” as your backing band…and you decide to do this “trill” song?
Not to mention, this is on National TV and you should try and stray from perpetuating the rap cliche at least sometimes in certain settings.
This “BMF” joint and the other “trill” (For lack of a better word I guess) joints on “Teflon Don’ were all wack to me. The main songs I was semi-feeling were the ones with soulful, cinematic production, like “Aston Martin Music” or “Free Mason”. He should have did one of those. It would have been smooth, more universally accepted and just not look corny. I’m not hating, but dude had like the whole band back there and a predominantly white crowd (which doesn’t mean anything I guess, but I’m just saying; it was a different crowd than say you’re average “106 and Park” crowd), and he’s on some amped up, hood type rapping. It just was laugh-worthy…

Look at them awkward looking white folks dancing in the background.
KNOWxONE said this on July 24th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Trill music is the worst. It all sounds the same. There are no subjects on the Teflon Don CD. Rick Ross miserably failed on Teflon Don. I was someone supporting Rick Ross (I got to admit Deeper Than Rap was always in my CD player) but to follow up with a CD like this bullshit is embarrassing.
Trill hip hop isn’t party music and it isn’t club music. It’s not music at all.
Rick Ross is such a fucking moron for playing this song on a night show with a primarily white crowd. Just goes to show how little brain activity there is.
OGEazy said this on July 24th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
The white people in the background remind of the sketch on Chappelle’s Show titled “White People Dancing”
tris nigga! said this on July 24th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
yh ^^^^^^ i feel u man he should have done tears of joy or maybach music because they got that roots – ish feel

lmao ?eusto on the drums lookin bored as hell….actually, the whole (actual band) looks like they hated being there.
JL said this on July 24th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
oh and @ OGEaszy, he knew EXACTLY what he was doing picking this song, White people LOVE that kinda shit (the mainstream majority at least), they wouldnt want to hear Tears of Joy or Free Mason, just like when Pac was big they wouldnt want to hear unconditional love over Hail Mary. Those are the same people that buy into a song, just because it has a heavy bassline.

?uest explained that The Roots toured so hard for so long and that since the other guys have families it was getting to be a strain on everybody to the point of if they were even going to continue. So this gives them a place to actually play and make money on a regular basis and be home with their families. Biggest get of any Late Night show ever.

Damn. Excellent stuff from the Roots and the Bawse. I was clapping at the end of that performance. Props to him for doing a real banger track. Didn’t think they could pull it off. And how about Rawse. Thought he would suck live. That was dope

I’m glad to see Rozay performing with “The Roots”. I wish they would’ve performed “Super high”, but I guess they needed Ne-Yo’s assistance for that one. The performance was still dope tho
