I think this is a great mainstream album. Untiteld is still better but I'd easilly put this over L.A.X. Most of the people here are gonna hate on it because of Lunatic's and Classic Material's over quote-ing which is annyoing sometimes but you just have to look past that. I like that most of the album has songs with concept, production is really on point and T.I.'s flow and lyrics have improved drastically since T.I. Vs. T.I.P.

After 1st listen I devided the album in 3 categories:

a) Concept tracks : On Top Of The World (great vibe on this track, the hook is awsome), Ready For Whatever, Live Your Life (Rihaana is unecessary though), No Matter What, My Life Your Entertaiment, Slide Show, You Ain't Missing Nothin', Dead And Gone (wow at Justin's production talent)

b) Just spitting/bragging : 56 Bars, I'm Illy (Danja is a beast), What's Up What's Happenin, Every Chance I Get, Swagga Like Us

c) Alright tracks: Swing Ya Rag, Whatever You Like

d) Wack: Porn Star


Looks like him catching that case was the best thing that could happen to him artistic wise, lot's of introspective tracks.

I agree Untitled is better but this is better than LAX. Glad u could look past it and still enjoy this album. Prod really is on point and T.I. is really spitting on this. WOW at 4 Toomp beats :o 

Definitely better than TI VS TIP

Im gonna try and resist downloading the album till the grouprip is out, since otherwise ill play out the album before it's released, i've only heard the leaked tunes (thankfully quite a few were cut) and some of the ones which ive heard on youtube or zshare. The album sounds like its dope, the justin tune and b.o.b tunes are sick, Toomps got some monster beats, sounds like it gonna be just below King/ Trap Musik, guess i gotta hope the Grouprip comes out soon...

EDIT What happened to 'Collect Call'

some of you niggas don't be even having no valid opinion. you're dumb as fuck if this album ain't tip at his best even under his circumstances. the lyrics are hot. the production is hot. and this is the album of the year. a classic.

"Whatever you like" may be the major single everybody is on...but I like the energy that "Swing ya rag" has, and think it will have a longer appeal than "Whatever you like." Meaning...right now, WYL gets the best club reaction...but 2-3 years from now, Swing ya rag could still be used in clubs, while WYL will be hella played out and won't have that "hit." It's similar to how Sexual seduction may have been a bigger pop single...but Life of the party is the true club track that people can get off on.

Haven't heard "Paper Trail" yet but for me Tip at his best would probably be "Trap Muzik" or "King"

I keep laughing at this:

Ordering ? and lobster
celebrating coming from nothing
to winning Grammys and rappers winning Oscars (yeeah!)
And they say rapper shouldn't act, nah suckers
we see Samuel L.Jackson
like "WHATS UP MOTHAFUCKA!"


It's the way he says it, Luda is the shit.

the album is cool but as i suspected it kinda loses its way after a great opening 3/4 tracks. thats not to say its not a good album cause it is but i'm just not feeling most the tracks as much as those opening ones and a few others. now don't flame me guys cause its just an opinion :P

tip to classic material you come across as an idiot when you hate on anyone who doesn't instantly think this is a classic album. learn to accept and intelligently engage with other people's opinions. that dude above thought the majority of the cd was good/very/good excellent (as do i) so i don't see the problem. just maybe not a classic :P

i call everything how it is seen. i voiced my opinion you voiced yours. i'm buying it, whatever you do is ya buisness. btw you and anybody wit an opinion about me is useless. you don't know me and vice versa. let's keep it that way.
