first, before i explain my reasoning, i wish to preface this opinion with the following: GFID is, unquestionably, a dope album that is probably one of the few releases of recent memory that i'm able to play all the way through. i can't even say that about teflon don. yes, including gfid's r&b tracks, the one with usher being a lot better than it's given credit for. GFID shows maturity and focus, along with a clear drive to prove to the industry and the fans that ross is a serious artist.
however, with that said, i can't help but return to the compact fluidity of teflon don. on this album, tracks seamlessly join the next, in an uninterrupted procession of crack (i'm not a star, freemasons, tears of joy, maybach music iv???
). one by one, the tracks immediately grab you, ending as forcefully as they began. in what's almost it's best quality,teflon don is also a relatively short album, especially compared to lengthy GFID. It's over before it started, but you still feel like you had a blast at the party.
i still love gfid. no denying its greatness. but i do feel like there's a bit of a disjointed structure to the album that -- ultimately -- hurts its appeal. the songs are dope, but they don't blend with one another. the sonic cohesiveness of teflon don is missing on gifd. the lyrics and beats are dope, but some of the songs feels as if they're for another album.

they're all dope albums, but only a crackhead thinks trilla and dtr are better than gfid.
