t.i. also super fell off after king... it's almost weird to think that he's even the same guy -- i don't think there's been as musically rich a rap album to come out since king
t.i. vs t.i.p. wasn't great and paper trail had bad moments but i disagree that it's anywhere close to a "super fall off" - that phrase should be reserved for latter-day jay-z or lil wayne over the past couple of years. post-king tip's still given us "hurt", "let my beat pound", "whatever you like" (a hip-pop classic imo), "no matter what", a ton of great guest verses (yung l.a., nicole scherzinger, diddy/dirty money, r kelly) and i love most of what i've heard off the new one...

this makes no sense to me. aside from the dip in quality there's been WAY less of any kind of change to T.I.'s music/rapping/image/persona in the past 4 years than pretty much any other major rap star. also of that album's many virtues, 'musically rich' does not come to mind, it's very monolithic and single-minded (in a good way).

^^^has spent half an hour extolling The Blackout to me IRL
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:38 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe I should just sit down and listen to it like I just listened to that TI song, which wasn't bad

I need to properly re-listen to King, it's something I like rather than love.
― Gavin in Leeds, Monday, 12 July 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
THIRTIETH??? Really frikkin curious as to what you guys have put in the top 10 now. How? Why? If this isn't a seminal album of the decade...
― abcfsk, Monday, 12 July 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
wow what a horrible cover, never seen that before (re: Blackout)
― gordon lishification (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:40 (fourteen years ago) link
wtf i was sure blackout (and indeed blaqkout) (and obv king) would be way higher!
great album obv. "save the foolishness and fuckery, i'm handlin my business"

i thought those were actually solid placings for 'king' and 'blackout' -- maybe it's cuz they were all much, much lower until the last few days

i mean, blackout actually is dope, but, yeah
um, Blackout was not a seminal album of the decade, like not by a long shot
"Gimme More" is rad but nothing else about this album or Brit at the time it came out made me at all interested in listening to it.
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:41 (fourteen years ago) link
"get naked (i got a plan)" is surely the #1 song title of the decade tho
i wish all song titles had (i got a plan) after them
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i think of both as classics of their genre, not just personal favs - best hip-hop album of the half-decade and best pop album of the half-decade should be top 20 at the VERY least
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I wish all song titles had "get naked" preceding them
― goth (crüt), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm pretty sure I voted for Blackout. I was so obsessed with it when it came out, haven't played it in a while though. Heaven on Earth was always my favourite song. Freakshow was the only song I didn't really get into.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 12 July 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
"Get Naked (Lyin' Ass Bitch)" by Fishbone"Get Naked (Open Letter (To A Landlord))" by Living Colour"Get Naked (Touch It)" by Busta Rhymes
okay yes you are actually convincing me
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
best hip-hop album of the half-decade
lol not even close
― gordon lishification (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
haha i loved "freakshow" and its dubstep wobble. love the way her voice gets pitched down so suddenly midway through

― nutz OO)))) (The Reverend), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:46 (fourteen years ago) link
one of my favourite albums of all time, top three easily
I think Tiarnan spent 20 minutes of that half-hour talking about Get Naked (I Have A Plan) alone - it's pretty good, as I'm now hearing
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link

there's a particular dead-eyed sleaze stomp to "Gimme More" that I find transcendent that nothing else I've heard off of the album has lived up to
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
i remember being underwhelmed by "gimme more" when it first emerged but i love it now, it's so sleazy and drugged-out. one of the first additions to my stripper in my mind itunes playlist iirc.

― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link
in all honesty I couldn't make it past 15 seconds into "Get Naked (I Got A Plan)" before I turned it off so it may get awesome but it didn't grab me initially
xp: yea Lex, it's that sleaze mixed in with the robotic stomp that gets to me

another 2005 album, along with Separation Sunday and Bloc Party, that I loved back then and never listen to. Don't have any antipathy for him though.
