paper trail

[Black Excellence]

lunatic 63 would you happen to know what the first single off t.i.'s album is?

[Lunatic]

T.I. just shot a video for "No Matter What" but im not sure how high budget it is, i think its still just the street single

the official first single is still up in the air between two songs

its either "what's up, what's happening" prod. by danja OR "on top of the world" feat. kanye west and b.o.b.

i think he's leaning towards "what's up, what's happening."

[Black Excellence]

cool..who produced on top of the world feat. b.o.b.?  do you think he's gonna have mannie fresh on the album? they've made classic records together. i personally would like to hear him over a couple of dr. dre beats.

I dunno if fresh is on the album

confirmed producers:
JR Rotem
Danja
Swizz Beats
DJ Toomp
Brain BK Kidd
Kanye West

I imagine more production from: Khao, Keith Mack, Lil C, Tony Galvin, The Runners

I hope for Just Blaze and Mannie Fresh as well

[Black Excellence]

i agree. i think t.i. woulda murdered a beat like mr. carter from just blaze. i think he could fit wit 9th wonder too.

yea that would have been a hot beat for em - 9th wonder would be interesting

i wanna hear him over some cool & dre as well - not sure he's had a beat of there's on any of his cd's; has been on some guest appearances with cool & dre beats.

[Black Excellence]

do you plan on interviewing him soon? if so mention that to him. not a fan of cool and dre too much to me they re kinda hit or miss but i'm quite sure tip could get somethin hot from them.

lol i will certainly try to secure an interview with him. True, cant wait to hear the busta/Ti/akon track by cool & dre on da upcomin busta cd.

[Black Excellence]

i'm waitin too homie. have you heard any paper trail tracks so far?

[Lunatic]

i'm waitin too homie. have you heard any paper trail tracks so far?

only the one song he released "no matter what" i imagine u've heard it 2?

[Black Excellence]

yeah. i know he going through his situation but i wanna hear some t.i.p. shit on there too.

[Lunatic]

yeah. i know he going through his situation but i wanna hear some t.i.p. shit on there too.

like he said he writes bout what hes doin at the time and guns/drugs aint really in his life right now - im sure will definitely have a few gun/drug lines here and there but not nearly as much as before

I personally am looking forward to this album more than any other TI album - I think this can be his 2nd classic for real. These tracks sound SICK: No Matter What (we know it is) My Life, Your Entertainment, Collect Call & Sittin On Top Of The World.

mainstream joints: I'm Illy, Louis Ray, Let My Beat Pound & What's Up, What's Happening.

[Black Excellence]

oh you've heard those joints? did toomp do any of those?

[Lunatic]

oh you've heard those joints? did toomp do any of those?

i havent heard any of those i named but he explained the concept behind each one and u can tell which ones were club/mainstream joints and which ones were concept driven and meaningful

i dunno which songs toomp did, but he def is on the album in a major way, he's the executive producer - another reason im really lookin forward to it.

[Black Excellence]

true. i loved t.i. vs. tip but i will say it needed toomp. i'm glad he's executive producer. i hope it's a double album.
