T.I. Paper Trail Quick Review


I'm sort of pissed, I found out after i bought the album that iTunes was giving 2 extra bonus tracks. Oh well, the artwork is something amazing to check out. I wasn't surprised that this album had me head noddin in the whip, the production is crazy, the south is definitely doing their thing. Dj Toomp gave T.I. a nice platform to start everybody off with "56 Bars" that led to "I'm Illy". I wasn't really feeling "I'm Illy" too much the hook was kind of corny. The beat was insane tho, by Chuck Diesel. Of course Drumma Boy did his thing and pulled in for T.I.P. with "Ready For Whenever" which got me hooked. After that record, trust me you will be hooked on the joint especially because the next joint got a feature with Ludacris. I think Luda could came harder but this is about T.I. Just Blaze surprised me with the Rihanna featured with "Live Your Life" T.I. again came in and put in his heart and Rihanna sounds just like she looks. Beautiful. 'Whatever You Like" probably has the illest/cleanest bass line to bump in stock cars with production credits to Jim Jonsin. The collection of tracks really takes you inside T.I's world. I could tell you that you could'nt tell it was Usher on the hook with "My Life Your Entertainment" which i think had the catchiest hook out of the whole album. "Swing Your Rag" = Swizz Beatz, Monster! Make sure you peep "What's Up What's Haapnin'" see if you can find out who he's taking shots at, i think we all know tho, but he really put "him" in his place. The John Legend Track "Slide Show" is definitely a record you would not expect T.I. spittin too. Doesn't really have a southern bell to it. T.I. finishes strong with "Dead & Gone" featuring and produced by Justin Timberlake. T.I. really took you to another world with this album, he really let you into his mind his thoughts and didn't make it seem like he needed sympathy especially with had happened to him within the past year. This album is a recommended purchase. So head to best buy for you cats who like peeping the album artwork in full effect or if you want those 2 extra bonus tracks peep it on iTunes.
3.5/5
