If T.I. sounds more reflective than usual on his new album, Paper Trail, there’s a good reason. The Atlanta MC wrote and recorded tracks for the disc at home while on house arrest in the past year, awaiting trial for possession of three machine guns — charges that could have resulted in a decades-long prison sentence. “It felt like the world was against me,” he says of the time he spent working on his sixth full-length, the follow-up to his 2007 CD, T.I. vs. T.I.P. “It felt like people would rather ridicule, judge and condemn me than support me.”

Few of the new songs describe the violent, drug-dealing lifestyle documented on hits like “What You Know” and “Rubberband Man.” Instead, the new record highlights the fear, anger and guilt T.I. was feeling as he awaited trial. “I didn’t know how everything would come out, but I had faith that God had a plan and it would supersede my distorted judgment,” says the rapper, who claims he acquired the arsenal because he feared for his life after his assistant was murdered in 2006. The judge sentenced T.I. to 1,000 hours of community service and a year in prison, to begin in 2009. “A lot of things that I was doing needed to change, and this was the time for me to do that,” he says. “I’m a better person.”

“No Matter What,” which leaked in April, sets the tone. Backed by gospel organs and blues guitar, T.I. offers a survivor’s testimony: “I ain’t dead, I ain’t done/I ain’t scared, I ain’t run/Still I stand.” On the Danja bass-heavy club track “What’s Up, What’s Happening” and on “Collect Call,” the MC takes aim at friends who abandoned him during his ordeal. “People were really hatin’ on me,” he says. “My message is that the hatin’ won’t do nothin’ but make me go harder and get better.”

But it’s not all heavy. The futuristic “Let My Beat Pound,” produced by J.R. Rotem, is engineered for car stereos. “My trunk sounds like a midget trying to get up out of there,” T.I. drawls. And on “I’m Illin,” the MC shows off his virtuosic flow with quick-fire rhymes about being “the hottest nigga since Tupac.”

This summer, T.I. is hitting the road, mixing promotional appearances with speaking engagements at schools and youth centers for his community service, and mentally preparing for prison. “It’s a bitter pill to swallow,” he says. “But I’ve got a lot of water.”

fuckin right he's still the king of the south; anyone who says LO is the king is a pure hater and Wayne sure as hell aint the damn king (lol at a story already leaking bout his label buying copies)

TI is the best mainstream artist out here and Paper Trail is going to be his 2nd classic (with Trap Muzik).

LOL,  even though 50's music has sucked as of late, no T.I. album will come close to "GRODT".  Hell, they wont even come close to "Massacre" and I thought that was an ok album.  I'm not just talking about lyrics.  Im talking about lyrics, flow, production, the whole 9.
But I guess it's all a matter of opinion though, lol.

you are definitely sniffin' spray paint. trap muzik is ahead of it's time and is 200 times better(dont let me bring up king or t.i. vs t.i.p) than officer jackson's whole catalog lyrically, productionwise,conceptwise,and just well written(no pen or pad). 5-0 ridiculed ja rule for singin' and then he goes and sings on damn near every track on grodt. and by the way dr. dre gave that nigga some throwaways you couldn't even compare them to anything dre has ever produced before that. 5-0 can't fuck wit t.i. and in my opinion it is the truth.

LOL u can have your own opinion on no TI album touchin GRODT (I think Trap Muzik does, but I can respect your opinion cause GRODT was pretty good, a bit of filler at the end though)

BUT no WAY IN HELL does nothing in TI's catalog touch Massacre; are u serious?

Massacre was fuckin awful

Every TI album > Massacre

LOL, no sniffin' here.  I don't recall 50 doing any singing on "GRODT".  Dre gave 50 some dope beats and produced that whole album very well.  I can respect your opinion but I definitely don't agree with it.  I'm not saying T.I. is wack because he does have a few good songs on each cd that could be compiled into a solid cd.  That's just me though.

It's all a matter of musical preference doggy.  The production on "Massacre" was solid.  It didn't live up to the hype but "Massacre" was a good album, not comparing it to "GRODT".  You should re-listen to it.  "Ryder Music", "In My Hood", "The Ski Mask Way", "I Don't Need 'Em".  Matter of fact, I encourage everyone to re-listen to this album, lol.

Massacre was a good album. Would have been even better if he didn't give Game some of those songs.

imo Massacre > Im Serious, Urban Legend, TI vs TIP

yeah he sung on a lot of hooks on grodt. but t.i. has stronger albums as far as  being good overall. i thnik grodt was 5-0's best album and he has not been able to top it since and if you didn't know the psc album is better than 5-0's shit. i don't think you could compare any of those dre beats to shit he did on the first chronic or second,snoop's albums, firm album,etc.

I'll agree with that (minus the PSC album.  I'll have to check that one out before I give my opinion).  Dre's production has changed.  Still dope but it's different.

i'm not in no way sayin' dre is washed up he's one of my favorite producers. but that shit pales in comparison to his earlier work. but that psc album is a slept on joint. move somethin' is the only song i don't like but in my opinion, it's the best album i've heard from a superstar led crew. everybody holds their own on that joint.

Start off with da information, load it up in ya head
Couldnt hold it, so it turned out its sumthin he said
Wut he tell da FEDS
Your decision was to snitchin and they was there to listen
When he told what he know, said they barely was trippin
Less time, now da niggas in a better position
Unless you count the fact that the streets know he was snitchin

Where the niggas is too real to even snitch on a snitch
But make a snitch turn to *poof* with a flick of the wrist
That aint gon get in arguments, just go get you a clip
And aint gon think about the consequences, he lettin you rip
