T.I. is opening up more and more about his new album that's dropping in August. He talked to Rolling Stone magazine in NYC recently where he played some tracks from Paper Trail, and also opened up more about his current legal battles. You know I got it for you below.
If you're like me then I'm sure you've had his new song "No Matter What" on repeat in your iPod. But if you thought that was his lead single to the new album you'd be wrong. Cliff told RS that his official single “What’s Up, What’s Happening” will be out in a couple weeks. The track, which was produced by Danja, is a bass-heavy club track full of shout-outs to haters who thought the MC’s legal troubles would sideline him. Could I [Gyant] be on that track? Let's hope SOHH.
On “Collect Call,” he raps about all the fair-weather friends who disappear when things get hot over an R&B groove. “Let My Beat Pound” is a bass-heavy trunk-rattler produced by J.R. Rotem with a robotozed hook that’s meant to intimidate others on the road: “My trunk sounds like a midget trying to get up out of there,” he drawls. “You Ain’t Missing Nothing” is a dubious message to those in prison: With jazzy, soul sample, Tip promises “The time will do itself, all you gotta do is show up.” On “Sitting on Top of the World,” which features a hook by B.O.B., the MC reflects on his path to rap fame. And on “I’m Illin” he claims to be “the hottest nigga since Tupac.” Of course, after promoting the album, which comes out August 12, Tip will still have to serve a year in jail. “It’s a bitter pill to swallow,” he says. “But I’ve got a lot of water.”
I can tell you that T.I. and Kanye were in the studio late Saturday night/early Sunday morning working on new song for Paper Trail.

At :08 it sounds like the track skips...if I remember correctly that's about where the streetcred.com shoutout was on the tagged version. Not saying it ya fault though, I remember when this was first posted on another site I noticed that skip.

The first single from this is hot but mainly due to the beat. TI is limited as a rapper and consequently the production on this album has to be of a very high standard for me to be interested in it. The producer list looks promising but everyone has the same producers now so its a hit and miss which albums will pull it off.
-
^his producer list aint the same at all for the most part...he gonna have some beats from older produces such as Brain BK Kidd.
