Rick Ross - Veteran's Day
Artist: Rick Ross
Featuring: Lil Wayne , Baby aka Birdman
Producer: Unknown
Album: Teflon Don
Label: Maybach Music/Def Jam
In America, November 11 is a time set aside to honor the brave men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms, but the intrepid hustlers who risk, uh, drowning in groupies and champagne to bring us great hip-hop music have gone sadly unrecognized – until now. On Teflon Don inclusion Veteran’s Day (rumored to have been recorded for a now shelved Ross/Birdman collaborative album), Maybach general Rick Ross celebrates the invaluable services he and his fellow ballers have performed for their country. Joining the headliner over a currently-unknown producer’s street-ready, soul-sampled boardwork are highly-decorated officer Lil Wayne and his adoptive father, the former rallying the Cash Money troops on the track’s front end and the latter surveying his worldly possessions in a more laid-back middle verse. So, readers, does Veteran’s Day deserve the DJBooth.net Medal of Honor? If you think so, keep it locked to our front page for release details on Ross’ fourth album, as well as, of course, all the latest tunes.

While waynes verse is a refreshing change of pace from rebirth, he sounds bored. Birdmans same as ever, and rick ross is pretty meh. To me the production steals the show. In rotation.

Yawn. I would be HELLA surprised if this record actually makes the cut on Teflon Don. Let me repeat - HELLA surprised.
Despite reports from various "professional blogs," the J.U.S.T.I.C.E LEAGUE did NOT produce this song. E-mails to Rick and Wayne's people have gone unresponded to - we can blame it on the Super Bowl. |

Nothing special here. I like Mafia Music 2 wayyy better. The production isn't horrible, but nothing to remember. Neither is the lyrics.

I recently listened to Birdmans most popular songs, just cuz i love his hilarious lines (e.g. "More money than i seen in a garbage can", or my personal favorite, "High like a ceiling, fly like a bird"), and i noticed that he rarely goes a song without saying the word "Flip/ing". Now if you listen closely, at approximately 1:48 he says "Flippin". Gotta love it!!
Did rick ross say "I'm that fat mothafvcker"??? hahahahhaha. He also has a potty mouth. That much swearing ruins any song ('cept for Lets Go!) As for the song, its pretty pretty bad 1.5, but i'll round up cuz Rick Ross makes me laugh |

Song falls off after the Weezy verse..Can't decide if its a street single for Teflon or a mixtape cut that leaked cause of Wayne's jail time

I'll back @The1JAY2 on the "not his best but it's good to hear Weezy just rhyme again" call, but Birdman just totally sucks the life out of this one. Cut him out so it goes straight from Wayne to "I'm a fat motherf**ker" and I might just get down. As is? Ehhhhh....
p.s. - I'm hella surprised the Chicago-based DJ Z used a Cali terms like "hella". The man's clearly California dreamin. |

Wayne was good, Ross was actually entertaining for a chance, maybe it was his delivery.....but Birdman step away from the mic, imo he is the MOST ANNOYING RAPPER EVER (can you even call him that?)
The beat went hard tho, props to whoever was behind this beat. In rotation |

The production as expected is really good, smooth... wait for it... classy vibe, and lyrics were pretty decent. Yeah, the typical routine we are used to hearing from them but it works, just like every other Rick Ross joint.
Still, there's something which bores me after a while. A hook/chorus to break the monotony would have been a great touch-up. Rotation fa sho! |

What up DJBOOTH.NET!
Weezy represented early in this track. I am over here bopping SUPER-HARD! Baby did his usual thing, but this is a bit better than some of his others. I feel Baby's super simple (non-rapper) style. He just likes to talk to the people and I can't hate on that. It goes good with the track. Rick Ross was surprisingly the worst one on the track. But his verse is decent enough to finish the track off. BANGER STATUS!!! |

Can someone explain to me what constitutes a rapper to sound bored? Is it that they are monotoned through the verse? I never understood that.
Anyways it's not the best track from this trio I've heard but it's aight. Weezy's verse was probably the best. 3.5 but rounding down because Ross's verse was a little disappointing. |

I recently learned that people only say HELLA in nor cal, but maybe DJ Z will start making it nationwide. That being said, Birdman hella sucks. Seriously, the lines quoted by that one guy arent even good. lol this one has a smooth beat, wayne sounds good and ross was alright. They kept the birdman to a minimum so this can definitely go into roto. Can't wait to play this while i'm cruisin down the block, blowin on some fuego.

This was not a good song considering the star-studded lineup. Wayne was average, Birdman was Birdman (not very good) and Ross was decent butnot great.

Wayne was a little weak, Baby was average, but Ricky Ross reminded me why he is the boss.
