Trap Muzik is my favorite T.I. album but unless DJ Toomp is Executive producer & actually produces a few beats on this album I can't it see even remotely coming close to Trap Muzik.
First off I wanna say damn all you non believing azz nikkas,I been waitin on this for years
....But I feel like he said this about another album he did....But I actually believe he might try for real this time,its more than a marketing gimmick rappers use this time....I think Future has been a inspiration
,gon have all the cats who went pop or tried to "expand they brand" wanting to come back to the streets where it all started
If anybody is built to do it I would say T.I is one of them,but this is bigger than beats....It was a time when TI was hands down the coolest nikka in the game,and one of the coolest in the world of entertainment....That laid back slow flow,the arrogance....all that shyt just seem like it came so natural just cuz he was that nikka at the time,I don't know if any rapper who had that can just recreate it....Could Snoop be Doggystyle snoop again?Could Jay give off the same arrogance he gave off in his prime? So much of what TI was came from his flow,drawl and delivery at the time that was one of the best the rap games seen,which is underappreciated btw.
He wasnt really this even before age and jail may have humbled him a little....Project steps is the shyt though and a great attempt,can he maintain that over the course of a album though and ignore his instinct to chase the pop crowd?He need to let a fan of early TI come in and executive produce his album,I fukked with his shyt so heavy I could coach em....I been listenin since Im Serious,this TI hate is disgusting
Its nikkas who wanna be as cool as they was effortlessly in highschool,but they just aint.....I still think he could give us a classic regardless though just based on his skill if he puts it to good use.
