RS: Are you still working on your album? T.I.: Absolutely. It’s called Paper Trail. It’s going great.
RS: How many tracks do you have done already? T.I.: I’ve got about thirty-some tracks done, but I’ve got like sixteen that I’m in love with and I’m still working. After you get those sixteen, you try to make sixteen more to top them and you pick the best.
RS: Who have you been working with? T.I.: I’ve got records with Danja, I’ve got one record so far from DJ Toomp. I’ve got records from Little C and Keith Mack from Grand Hustle Productions, and records from J.R. Rotem and Jay Rock. Quite a few people.
RS: Do you have a sense yet of how this album is going to be different from the last one? T.I.: I don’t know if I can put into words how it will be different from the last album, but I know you’ll definitely be able to tell the difference. The people who I’ve played it for, they say it reminds them a lot of the earlier albums I’m Serious and Trap Muzik. It’s called Paper Trail because for the first time since my very first album, I’m actually writing the lyrics down, pen and pad, old school style. I used to just listen to the music and go in the booth and rap. And now that I’m writing things down, I think it’s a little more eloquent.
RS: What made you decide to start doing that? T.I.: People were saying how they missed the old sound, they missed that I’m Serious T.I., so I figured that I would try to tap into that element.

honestly if Toomp's work on the Jay and Kanye albums is representative of what he's doing now maybe T.I. doesn't need his beats that bad.

the rest of the dudes on the song have this offputting vibe like they like girls with their shit together SOLELY because they don't have to do shit for them, but then boosie shows up with this genuine beavis-y excitement of being out somewhere and getting in with a bunch of 30 y/o women all dolled up on girls night or whatever!! it's great.

K. Sanneh reviewing Lil' Wayne Sunday night in Newark... an excerpt-
“Even bobbleheads tell me yes, yes,” he rapped during “You Ain’t Know,” and he liked the image so much that he giggled instead of finishing the verse.
During one of the astonishing a cappella rhymes, he announced, “I get menstrual/I bleed through the pencil.” And when time came for “Gossip” — one of the few current Lil Wayne tracks that can legally be purchased at iTunes — he snarled the verses (“Don’t believe in me, don’t believe me/I graduated from hungry and made it to greedy”) and then turned girlish to lip-synch the chorus, based on a sped-up sample of the Supremes’ “Stop! In the Name of Love.”

Toomp didn't have any tracks on T.I. Vs. T.I.P. (the only producer that had 3 songs on the album was Danja, and if that's who you mean, then I agree).
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 16:42 (sixteen years ago) link
yes danja it is

guys this webbie album
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 February 2008 18:14 (sixteen years ago) link
it's really good! didn't realize how good the trill ent in-house producers are
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 February 2008 18:15 (sixteen years ago) link
as hoos would say, "this webbie album is serious"
I give him props for "kiko" and "dunn" though....those are two of my favorite rap words ever! i loved "dunn" even more after i saw them explain it once, i guess some retarded dude around their way would always mispronounce "son" or "sonnie" like "dun" or "dunnie" and they kept saying it like that.
-- rakim song is okay, hate the hook, but damn i'm always sort of blown away that even to this day ra will always have some real nice bars that make me wanna rewind in every song.
-- does cashis have an album out?? i pretty much like everything i hear from this guy...
-- independent is still the jam
-- 3-6 song, love the beat, subject matter is zzz hey how novel u like getting head and the jabbar line i sorta love, shows their age in a kind of charming way
― M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 18:17 (sixteen years ago) link
who are those dudes that make those MS paint diagrams about rap music. is there one yet that's like "cook?" and if you answer no and you are pointed to a box that says "not independent", if you pick yes and you are pointed to the next box that says "clean?" and if you answer no and you are pointed to a box that says "not independent", if you pick yes and you are pointed to the next box that says "smell like onion rings?" and so on?

Ca$his is in that weird crop of new artists that major labels signed but aren't sure they wanna chance a whole album on, and have just released EPs by so far (see also: Yung Berg, The Pack, etc.)

you should really get the Trill Entertainment comp Survival of the Fittest next, its a good primer on the whole camp...the discography can get a little daunting because there is a shit load of albums and mixtapes out there and they're all fire from beginning to end.
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 19:51 (sixteen years ago) link
a back catalog that's "all fire from beginning to end" wouldn't be that daunting (not that that is an apt description of Trill's releases). I do like them, though, when my car got stolen for a couple weeks last year, the kids who took it left a bunch of Boosie/Webbie mixtapes in the car and I jammed those for the rest of the summer
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 20:11 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i think i made some post about survival of the fittest back when it dropped but its a decent comp from last year too
― deej, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link
'gangsta musik' might as well be a classic tho
I'd say a catalog of cd's that goes from 2003 (gangsta musik) to next tuesday (savage life 2) is daunting if you want to find out which disc is the best to download in the next 5 minutes. And how is it not a an apt description? If someone is feeling "Independent" or Savage life 2 it's safe to say that they'd be into a bunch of songs with the same sound, same producer and same rappers on em, which is an apt description of every single trill ent release. Fire is in the eye of the beholder.
