Well, it's definetly biased, just by reading it's clear what your emotions towards T.I. are. Other than that I enjoyed reading the review, altough I strongly disagree with a) Whatever You Like being a "hot" single and Swagger Like Us being the most unpredictable single since the 90's (or something like that).

LMAO that ain't my review dog

first few paragraphs were very well written, then it just sort of slid off...

some parts were poorly worded, i selected several but thought i better not draw your attention to them and be tarred a 'hater' like everybody else.


oh, and i was distracted while i read the review: http://raptalk.net/website/content/view/882/56/


keep at it.

I thought the first few paragraphs felt like kind of a drag. It took a while to get to the actual review. But it was good, I disagree with some of the things u said about certain tracks but u were on point with tracks like 'You Aint Missin Nothin', 'Every Chance I Get', and 'Dead & Gone'. Good review homie, Props. I'm still uncertain whether or not I'ma buy this.

Nicc: Thanks for reading! it's a great album, pick it up!

this is my professionally written review for the album for a hip-hop website which i contribute content to. it deserves a new thread because i put a lot of work into it. stop being a little crybaby and don't enter the thread if it really bothers u

i try avoiding them but its all i see. when i check the outbound section all i see is at least 5-7 ti topics started by you, and then with Classic Thread and BiggSaddot goin back n forth with other dudes.

word, those two are the reason TI has much hate on this board. they make stupid comments about TI. then they make every other thread about TI. like if theres a thread about Nas, they bring up how TI is better and how they think he looks cute in his shades.

like H2K4 said, it should be renamed the TI-Bound Section lol. no matter what topic it will end up with a statement like "TI>>>>>>>the rap game".

as far for this review, its cool. if yall dont like it, make your own review of the album. i mean no offense to Luna but what does opinon matter? if you think you can make a better review, please, show us an UNBIASED one. this isnt biased imo...

[Lunatic]

Facing a year and a day of prison time, one might think that Atlanta’s T.I. would do anything but begin his new album with a track titled “56 Bars.”

But that’s the really good thing about “Paper Trail” — it is everything and nothing you would expect from the hip-hop superstar.
And by everything, yes, that means T.I. is the same charismatically slick, super-boastful, profanity-spewing T.I. who’s sold millions of his previous five CDs. (Never mind that outside of recording studios, he’s giving motivational speeches in schools and church services to fulfill some 1,000-plus hours of community service, part of a guilty plea for felony weapons charges. He’s due to be sentenced in March 2009.)
The introduction, in fact — “56 Bars” — is basically one long brag with the audacity to begin: “This [is] what the folk been waiting on.” But T.I. does his assertion no favors with the track that follows. “I’m Illy” stumbles with a hook too similar to “Get Silly” by the less talented V.I.C.
T.I. is better than that, and rhymes better from that point on.
The next single, “Ready For Whatever,” answers the question every fan had last year when the Grammy winner (and convicted felon) — on his way to the BET Hip Hop Awards where he was the leading nominee — decided to detour to a Midtown Walgreens to buy machine guns and silencers.
That question, of course, is why?!
“If your life was in jeopardy everyday is you telling me you wouldn’t need weaponry, just because of your felonies?” T.I. asks in “Ready.” “Consider this at least — I’ve got everybody sweating me. On the streets is people who won’t rest unless I rest in peace. Killed my folk a year ago still in my sleep they threaten me … I’m dealing with depression from my partner dying next to me. Think cause no one’s arrested they coming for me eventually. See this was all the things that I was going through mentally.”
In the end, “I’m wrong and I know it” T.I. adds.
If “Ready” is riveting for its openness, “Live Your Life” (featuring Rihanna) is on mark for its pop anthem potential, while “Swagga Like Us” (featuring Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne) has rap star power, and “Porn Star” is, well, X-rated smolder.
But again, that’s T.I. as you would expect.
So what’s the unexpected? That he actually sings an entire song on his recent — and first — No. 1 pop single in the country, “Whatever You Like.” Also surprising is that he recruits A-list artists (Ludacris, Usher, John Legend, Justin Timberlake), with whom he only comes up with “B” or “B-” songs.
And in curious, 2Pac-like fashion, he uses the subject of facing — and enduring — prison time to craft one of his best songs here, “You Ain’t Missin’ Nothing.”
