2nd highest selling rap album of the year..gold in 1 week..highest selling cd of his career when his previous 2 were also chart toppers and also had big marketing machine behind it..'very' impressive i'd say so
-
God damn, props to T.I. Official numbers are always a lil' higher, so he could be looking at 600k.
Mauzip in this state of rap sales, this is very impressive.

where did your line about Pete Rock go? About that he's 5x better than T.I. and that real hip hop fans know that?
-
Birdie: I'm not saying it means anything..dude said the #s aren't impressive..i just explained why they are massive.
R-Tistic: Murs did 11K
-
Congrats to T.I. and Grand Hustle. With it leaking so early I was expecting like 475k so great to see he went gold in first week.
-
This album is wack...
-
Just curious. For the ones saying this one was wack what was your favorite T.I. cd he dropped previously? King was it for me.

listened to a couple songs off the album cuz my buddy was playing it in his car, shit is trash. T.I. cant make a song with any substance. Each song i heard, the beat sounded the same, the lyrics were either about how much money he has, the cars he drives, how gangster he is or rapping about the haters that are hating.
music isnt what it used to be. shit, atleast wack ass lil wayne can throw a couple creative metaphors in his rhymes here n there that are worth listening to.

my life, your entertainment - durin' his case every1 had somethin 2 say/opinion..nothin but some ent. for them while this actually his life
slide show - 'life is like a slide show' says it enough, great song with great substance
you ain't missin nothin - if u locked up, keep your head up and don't let the time do u
dead and gone - the old him who made terrible mistakes is gone and he's learned from his wrong doings to become a better person

YOU JUST DESCRIBED 99.99% OF THIS BLACK RAP MUSIC SHIT, FUCK I WILL STRAIGHT MURK YOUR BITCH ASS
-
T.I. gets my props, I knew he would do #'s like this though... I copped the album the day it dropped too and have listened to it daily since 8)
-
Not bad considering that single of his catered to the ladies. His first single was better yet it didn't do shit for him. Just goes to show you how Hip-Hop is now a days.

Good album. I downloaded it. Not purchasing it. Sorry T.I.

I don't see how that would be considered hating.
-
congratz T.I... A solid album.. and solid 1 week!
-
So are you planning a party Luna ?
-
I don't see how that would be considered hating.
Yea I know. I reconsider that I can't compare that two albums (NY's Finest & Paper Trail). I'm angry because Large Pro, Murs and Term ain't sellin' 500K in the first week even together. I just wanna quit that conversation about sales and production, we'll get @ it in some other thread.
Peace to T.I. and his sales.
-
good sales for paper trail.
-
huge debut! album is nice so its all good

who cares if noone's touching wayne's sales. his album will be long forgotten 5 years from now. his music is right now, and that's as far as it goes. he will be an artist someone thinks back about years from now and say what the hell was i thinking listening to that garbage. when i think of rappers today, cheap and boring are two words that constantly come to mind, it's unfortunate but i'm being real,

i think that's a remark for people that had so much bad shit to say about his situation. i can related a nigga in my hood got shot in the head two weeks ago so i can definitely relate to tip situation. if you ain't been through what he been through then who are you to judge ? have you ever lost one of your closest friends ?

actually i'm glad he said it because it was somethin' that needed to be said. if he hadn't had no heat and woulda got killed people would have somethin' to say, he had guns people got something to say. damned if you do damned if you don't.

i agree with about Wayne but you make music and your far from a musical Messiah yourself. and not a single person in the world will remember your music in 5 years period.
-
about the lyrics...he could be makin reference to himself...
he said Sean Taylor would be alive if he had a gun, so why u gunna put me in jail for carrying guns for my own protection? i mean he did have like machine guns and shit...but thats one way to look at it.
-
minus him going over board with the machine guns and shit (lol at that) he has a point
