I've always liked T.I. I Don't know what he was doing with his last album where he had alter egos or whatever, but I respect him for at least doing something different. Well, on his new album Paper Trail, he sounds like he's rapping like his life depends on it. I guess in way it does. He's about to do a year in jail for trying to buy firearms. On the album he defends himself, as well as takes the blame for what he did. The result: T.I. made his Me Against The World.
It's a solid album, fucking incredible at times. The first two tracks (56 Bars & I'm Illy) have T.I. spitting that slick shit ("broads hit they knees, out they clothes when they greet me/mouth wide open just begging me to skeet skeet). Then there's On Top of The World, his first song together with Ludacris that has a cool hook. Swing Ya Rag is typical Swizz Beats, although for some reason it kind of reminded me of some old Cash Money shit. Rihanna blesses Live Your Life with a nice hook, which sounds like it could be a single (it may be one now. I never listen to the radio so what do I know. And of course, I couldn't leave off Swagger Like Us, featuring Jay Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and a sick hook from M.I.A.
So, yeah T.I. did it again so check it out. I mean shit you can go to Amazon and download it for 3.99. Trust me, it's well worth that. I could go into some long preamble about his court case and shit. Butit's kind of late and I wanna go to bed. So there you go.
