"Teflon Don" was mob boss John Gotti's nickname. Now it's the name of Miami rapper Rick Ross' new album.
And Gotti's grandson's got a bone to pick.
The Miami rapper should have gotten the okay from his family first, Carmine Agnello, 24, told the Daily News Tuesday.
"My grandfather paid his dues for that nickname. That was my grandfather's life," Agnello said.
John Gotti was dubbed the "Teflon Don" after winning acquittal after acquittal in the 1980s. He was finally convicted of murder and racketeering in 1992.
"He should have asked for permission. A standup, respectable guy would come and ask 'If I could use the nickname,'" Agnello, who is trying to launch a music career under the name Carmine Gotti, said of Ross. "I think he's a great artist, but you can't just start calling yourself that to sell records ...He wants to go for that whole image, but hey, be yourself."
Then he took another swipe at the 34-year-old, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts.
"Only in America can you go from being a corrections officer to calling yourself Teflon Don," Agnello said, noting Ross' former career.
The choice of "Rick Ross" for his stage name also has gotten him in trouble.
Ross is being sued by ex-druglord Ricky (Freeway) Ross for using his name in a copyright infringement lawsuit.
Ross' fascination with the mob didn't start with the album he released Tuesday. His latest mixtapes, also released this year, were called "The Albert Anastasia EP" and "Carlo Gambino." Both Anastasia and Gambino also were mob bosses.
Ross could not be reached for comment.

Floyd Mayweather Jr has been uncharacteristically quiet as speculation has run rampant about why a fight between him and Manny Pacquiao hasn't been made for November of this year.
Both the Pacquiao and Mayweather camps have given conflicting stories about what the hold up is.
But while Jr remains quiet, his father Floyd Mayweather Sr has come out of nowhere to take shots at Pac Man.
In an interview with On The Ropes Boxing Radio, Floyd Sr was asked what he would tell Pacqiao if he saw him.
"I'd tell him he's a f*ggot, go stick your head up under your dress. That's what I would tell him, being real with you," said Floyd Sr. "Tell him he aint nothing but a little sissy, a little girl."
Floyd Sr wasn't done, he called Pacquiao one of the biggest bitches is sports.
“He (Pacquiao) ain’t got no problem with fighting all the big guys—[Oscar] de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, the other African guy, the other guy who he fought with the title. I’m just saying he beat these guys, [Miguel] Cotto, he beat all these guys like they’re nothing. He's one of the biggest f*ggots on the planet,”
"He's scared, all they're [Pacquiao's camp] trying to do is switch it around and make it look like it's my son is the one that's scared. I know who's scared, for real."
If Floyd Sr's words were meant to get under Pacquiao's skin, the Filipino fighter isn't showing that it worked..
Pac Man told ABS-CBN news "Let's just laugh it off. He may not have been himself when he said that."
Pacquiao added that it's not his camp that is to blame for the fight not going through.

Master P has some advice for Shyne Po.........stop rapping and go find another job.
The former No Limit CEO thinks Shyne needs to focus on more positive things so he doesn't end up in the same situation that got him locked up.
Since Shyne is getting older and records aren't selling like they used to, P suggests the rapper go into acting or find other opportunities outside of hip hop.
Sounds like pretty good advice from the dude that used to call himself the "Ice Cream Man".
What do you guys think, should Shyne hang up the mic and if so what should he do?

The young beast mc J. Cole is about to drop his debut cd. And instead of filling it up with features, Cole is doing something almost unheard of these days by doing the entire album solo.
"No features man, you might get a last minute Jay-Z feature or you might not......yeah you probably will, but other than that no features man," he tells Toure'. I feel like it says something...it makes a statement to be able to come out and put out that first album and not have any features.....no major features or not every hottest rapper in the game. It says something, I'll get em on the next one, but this one I got too much to say to really be giving up first spots."
One thing you don't want to do in J.Cole's presence is diss Canibus. He tells Toure about a fight he got into with an old head dissing 'Bus.
"We was on the bus, I think we were like going to some basketball game. It was this older dude, he didn't know what he was talking about. He was dissing Canibus and I got mad."
J. Cole's debut album 'Cole World' is coming soon.

Radivoke Lajic, 50, said that his house being hit by rocks from space was the result of an extraterrestrial grudge.
"I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials," he said.
"I don't know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense.
"The chance of being hit by a meteorite is so small that getting hit six times has to be deliberate."
Mr Lajic, who lives in the village of Gornji Lajici in northern Bosnia, near Prijedor, said that the meteorite strikes always happen when it is raining.
The first meteorite struck his house in November 2007.
Scientists at Belgrade University have confirmed that the rocks are all meteorites.
"I have no doubt I am being targeted by aliens," he said.
"They are playing games with me. I don't know why they are doing this. When it rains I can't sleep for worrying about another strike."
Mr Lajic has reinforced his roof with steel for fear that a meteor may hit his house.
He paid for the steel girder by selling one of the meteorites to a university in the Netherlands.
"But these meteorites have brought happiness to our family as well, as we've met different people from around the world that were interested in it," he said.
"And I have had so many visitors that I plan to make a small museum in my back garden."
Mr Lajic first hit the headlines two years ago, when the fifth meteorite struck his house.
Scientists are now studying magnetic fields around the property to try and explain the frequency of the strikes

(CNN) -- The Smoking Jacket, Playboy's nudity-free, "safe-for-work" website, debuted Tuesday -- a bid by the iconic men's magazine to stay relevant in a cyberworld full of anything-goes competitors.
"Cube dwellers and office drones alike shall rejoice at this fun, sexy, satirical antidote to the drudgery of the work day," Playboy editorial director Jimmy Jellinek said in a written statement.
The site, which "provides guys with smart and sexy distractions throughout the day," according to the statement, is geared toward the blogosphere, with short posts and links to viral content from other sites.
Playboy Enterprises did not have immediate numbers on visits to the site, which went live shortly after midnight. But some pages were loading slowly Tuesday, which spokeswoman Theresa Hennessey said was due to heavy traffic.
"It's been pretty phenomenal so far," Hennessey said.
Through its decades of existence, Playboy magazine has staked out different ground from most of its skin-baring competitors, mixing nude photos with lifestyle features, interviews with celebrities and politicians, and short fiction by well-known authors.
Based on its debut content on Tuesday, though, The Smoking Jacket -- despite its lack of nudity -- may be taking a more lowbrow route.
Featured articles included "How to get laid at work," "7 signs that you've given up on getting laid," and "Americans totally dig STD-like sensations."
It provides links to such journalistic efforts as a blog post about stripper cage fighting and another on the 2010 Hooters Bikini Contest in Pelham, Alabama.
The empire's original site, Playboy.com, will continue offering its 6 million monthly visitors "nudity, as well as lifestyle articles that are typically longer, more reverent, and written in a similar style as those appearing in Playboy magazine," the company's statement said.
The new site also featured a short welcome video from Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, dressed, of course, in one of the trademark jackets that inspired the website's name.
"The Smoking Jacket isn't just something I like to wear around the mansion. It's Playboy's new safe-for-work website," he says. "Next to the mansion, it's the best hangout on the planet."
The new site rolls out as traditional adult-entertainment outlets like Playboy struggle to keep up in an online world where free pictures of nude people are just a mouse-click away.
Playboy Enterprises reported a net loss of nearly $1 million in the first quarter of this year -- actually better than what was predicted.
The company reported a loss of $13.7 million during the same quarter last year.
"We believe that 2010 will be a transitional year and that the true benefits of our strategy will be more fully evident next year," Playboy CEO Scott Flanders said in a statement earlier this year.
The rollout also comes days after the owners of rival Penthouse announced they would like to buy out Playboy, and Hefner himself publicly mulled buying outstanding shares of the company and taking it private.

This is that real Mission Impossible type stuff right here.
New footage has emerged of a gang making a daring heist in Sweden. The gang broke into a cash depot by landing on the glass roof in a helicopter. Then smashed their way in using a mechanical saw and explosives.
They used suspicious bags placed at the police heliport to prevent them from using their own helicopters to chase the thieves.
The thieves got away clean with $5 million dollars.
10 people were eventually arrested and go on trial next month for the crime, but no money has ever been recovered.

Everybody else has given their opinion on the Lebron James move to the Miami Heat so why not Lil Wayne?
The incarcerated took to his blog to talk about the new Heat team and the NBA.
Oh Lebron! The recent move by the Miami Heat confirms that we will someday soon have that good ole basketball back with all due respect to the Lakers-Celtics 7 game series. This move reminds me of the days when it was Johnson, Worthy, and Jabbar vs. Bird, Parrish, and McHale, or Thomas, Dumars, and Lambeer. Well now we have Bryant, Gasol, Bynum, and Pierce, Allen, Garnett, and ultimately, Wade, bosh, and James! Do expect this to become “protocol” to win an NBA title. As for many more teams have and will be stacking their rosters with stars.
I believe that this Miami team will be explosive as intended. Anything less than an NBA championship title will be uncivilized. 72-10 anybody?. Well with Wade at the 1 and Lebron at the 2 or vice versa even, or Mario Chalmers at the 1, Wade at the 2, and Bron at the 3… Wow! Not to mention that I didn’t mention Bosh, who can live at the 4 or 5. Zone defense will be a must against this team. That’s 3 players on the court that commands a double team. Just imagine those guys on a fast break, the defender back peadaling… Wade can take it to the hole or throw it up and you know Bron. Bron is going to get it… or dish it back to a trailing Chris Bosh who will definitely finish at the rim… again, wow! Or how about Wade at the 3-point line, Bosh setting the pick, and Lebron in the passing lane. And if you collapse on them, don’t forget that Chalmers can knock down the shot. I bet that they lead the league in alley-oops. And they’re all young! Scary! Hey, what if Pat Riley returns to the sidelines and it ends up being the Lakers vs. Heat in the finals? Riley vs. Jackson! Epic! Gasol on Bosh, Ron-Ron on Bron-Bron, and Kobe on Wade… wow!

Jake Shields has signed his UFC contract and is dropping back to welterweight to face Martin Kampmann at UFC 121 in October.
Shields was the reigning Strikeforce middleweight champion and is currently riding a 14-fight win streak. He last fought in April, where he defeated Dan Henderson in Henderson's Strikeforce debut.
Shields was almost a lock to go to the UFC after winning that fight. The lion's share of the promotional materials for "Strikeforce: Nashville" centered on Henderson, despite Shields holding the title, and that angered Shields. Rightly so, I might add. He was the champion of the division and received almost zero promotional push for the fight. Strikeforce was right to shine a spotlight on Henderson, but Shields is a talented fighter who deserved to be promoted as well.
If Shields beats Kampmann, he'll immediately jump to the front of the line for a welterweight title shot against Georges St. Pierre in 2011. Kampmann is a tough opponent and a perennial top contender in the division, so it's an immediate test to see where Shields stands in his new company.
