hella tait !!!

nachdem ich mir das album 2-3 mal angehört hab find ichs auch nich so schlecht wie am anfang, besser als das letzte auch wenn kein track wie das abnormale toomp intro drauf is..

aber die ersten 4 tracks gehen alle klar auch wenn ich den front 2 back remix nich wirklich zähle weil ich den schon ewig vorher kannte aber der toomp beat danach kommt auch cool

und dieser mannie beat, den musste ich erst auf der neuen swisah s&c hören um zu merken wie geil er is aber is en hammer track grad auch weil er dank den psc leuten nich so langweilig is vom rappen her
der track mit bg is auch schön danach gleich der mit buck der mir auch gefällt und am besten halt bankhead...

zwischen den guten tracks is zwar immer müll aber die guten tracks sind dafür echt cool und nich nur ordentlich
er rapt halt nich wirklich so dasses mir gefällt und einige lieder sind mir zu gay aber schlecht is das album keinesfalls

T.I. - New Album & Works On Pop...

Hip-hop's king has been recording with pop royalty. "I just collaborated with Beyoncé for her album, Justin Timberlake for his new album," T.I. revealed backstage at the BET Awards. "We getting' money around here."

T.I.'s not spilling too much about either song but said the latter was produced by Timbaland. "It's sayin' we really put it down for the young ladies," T.I. said of the Timberlake track. "I think we gonna do good from Bankhead [Court, the housing project where T.I. was raised,] to Berlin. I think it's gonna go down."

Along with Beyoncé and Justin, T.I. will also appear on new albums from Young Jeezy and Young Buck and several of his own Grand Hustle artists, including Big Kuntry and Governor. Young Dro, whose Grand Hustle debut, Best Thang Smokin', is due September 12, also features Tip on his new single, "Shoulder Lean."

"It's just a little relaxin' song for all playas," Dro said, sitting next to T.I. "We ain't doin' too much dancing. We just be leanin'."

In the meantime, T.I. is continuing to promote King, which debuted at #1 in March. Over last weekend, he shot a video for his next single, "Live in the Sky," with Jamie Foxx.

"It's about the trials and tribulations that I've been through from the life I used to live to the life I'm now fortunate enough to live," T.I. said. "And just paying respect to my cousin and some of my homeboys that didn't make it to see the day and one of my friends who is doing life right now."

T.I. is also already working on his next album, which he's calling T.I. vs. Tip, and lining up a big-screen follow-up to "ATL."

"We don't know exactly what I'm doing next, man, but I have a lot of opportunities to stand alongside some very heavy hitters in the film industry, and I plan to take full advantage," the rapper said.

At Tuesday's BET Awards, T.I. performed and also won the Best Male Hip-Hop Artist award. "This is a lot of hard work paying off," he said. "This award every award and every song and every album, every project Grand Hustle releases now from now on is dedicated to my homeboy Philant."

Philant Johnson, T.I.'s former personal assistant and lifelong friend, was killed last month in a shooting after a T.I. show outside of Cincinnati.

Experience the fortune, fame, tragedy and love affair of T.I. The rap industry has crowned its newest King of the south: T.I. His heart-warming story will move just about anyone. He stays far from being your norm rapper by bringing new flavor to the rap game. His southern laid-back flows have enabled him to gain mass popularity and crossover. T.I.s album featured Jay Z and P Diddy, earned huge record sales, and provoked his nomination for Best New Rapper. Thanks to sizzling tracks like Serious and You dont Know Me, T.I. has also topped the Billboard Charts. If you dont already know him, get to know the real T.I. and his life story.

T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records is releasing a compilation on December 19 called In Da Streets Vol. 4...

And although you'll hear the likes of Grand Hustle staples like Young Dro and Big Kuntry, Tip says underground Atlanta MC Yola Da Great won't be joining his imprint's roster. Talk of the union made its way in the press and streets earlier this year.

"Me and Yola couldn't find appropriate ways to work together, so we had to agree to disagree on a lot of things," the King of the South said recently in Atlanta. "I wish him the best though." ...

kommt zwar bisschen spät, aber das album hat mir rcihtig gut gefallen :P mag seinen flow, diese arrogante lässige art...

schade, dass der top back remix nich drauf is

T.I Talks New Album, Movies, Future Projects

T.I. stopped by VIBE today to talk and play new tracks from his forthcoming album, TI vs. TIP, scheduled for release "between June 26 and July 3." It's a concept record split into three distinct parts: "T.I.P.," "T.I.," and "T.I. vs. T.I.P." "It's the struggle of power between two personalities within one self," T.I. explained, with each segment "separated by a narrative explaining who each personality is." Part one is about T.I.P. "coming to power and making wild demands" of his record label, Atlantic. Part two is about T.I. waking up and hearing people "saying he did shit he don't remember." On the concluding segment, T.I. and T.I.P. will collaborate, and finally, converge...


Accompanied by several associates (including Xscape singer / longtime boo Tameka "Tiny" Cottle), the rapper played 16 songs. T.I. emphasized, "I could do another record tonight and one could be bumped off tomorrow," but the tracks he played for VIBE were as follows:


T.I.P.:
- "Do It (Big Shit Poppin)" [first single]
- "Yeah" f. Lil Wayne (prod. by Lil C)
- "You Know What It Is" (prod by Wyclef) [possible second single]
- "Hero" f. Akon
- "Watch What You Say to Me" (prod by Khao)
- "Dope Man" (prod by Mannie Fresh)



T.I.
- "We Do This" (prod by The Runners)
- "Life of the Party" (possibly featuring R. Kelly)
- "Don't You Wanna Be High" (prod by The Runners)
- "Goodbye My Dear" f. Ciara (prod by T.I.)
- "Show It to Me" f. Nelly (prod by Black Mob)
- "My Swagger"



- T.I. vs. T.I.P.
- "Respect the Hustle" (prod by Danja) [The first joint with T.I. and TIP in conversation. As the man explained, "They both just telling each other, 'Why don't you just let me do what I do?'"]
- "Shawty Got a Gun"
- "Tomorrow'll Be a Better Day"
- "Tell 'em I Said That" (prod by Danja) [According to T.I., the song is about "too much lying coming out the mouths of people occupying the kids' time. Rappers coerce their kids to do shit they ain't never even done they self."]



The man said he's still working on a record with Timbaland, and that he's cut three tracks with Eminem - one for Em's record, one for "T.I." and one for "T.I.P.," though none were completely finished. When asked why he didn't consider releasing T.I. vs. T.I.P. as a double or triple album - or as separate albums like Nelly's Sweat / Suit - he chalked it up to bad business. "You can't do double albums - you don't get counted as two anymore. I might as well be giving songs away. And Nelly," he quipped, "has the advantage of a market I have yet to attain."


But the King's market acquisition tactics are far from lax. He's working on other peoples' records, and he's got a slew of film projects in the works, too. On the music front, he's been helping BG out with his new record. He's been juicing up his producer game, making beats for artists like Mariah Carey, Cassidy, Rick Ross, Young Joc and Young Dro. "Whether they use the beats or not is up to them," he said.


This fall, T.I. will appear in the film American Gangster alongside Denzel Washington - an experience he described as "phenomenal. It was the greatest internship I could've wished for. Denzel kinda gave me my wings," he gushed. "I think it's gonna be the best black gangster picture ever. It's The Departed of black gangster films."


Future film projects include: the Chris Robinson-directed DVD movie to accompany T.I. vs. T.I.P.. A comedy called For Sale: a Romeo and Juliet-esque film about a used car lot in Atlanta. "My father [in the film] goes in half and half on a used car lot with his friend," said T.I., "but something happened between them. So they draw a line down the middle of the lot and basically become the Montagues and Capulets of the used car lot."


He's also working on an as-yet-untitled comedy about "two guys who work at the airport, like TSA. They stumble upon a terrorist attack in progress. Nobody believes them, so they gotta save the day." Finally, he's in talks regarding what he calls a "new White Men Can't Jump. We have our eye on Justin [for the part]."


Regarding the onslaught of comedies, he explained, "It's just so predictable for me to do a little shoot-em-up-bang-bang movie. I can do it, and I'll be good at it, but it's predictable.


"I gotta do things I'ma get credit for. Eventually, I will not be rappin," he continued. "I will not be in my mid-, late-30s rappin. I may still be in the music industry - producin', writin', CEOin' - but when I leave music, I gotta go somewhere."

Ich find das neue nich gut! "Big Shit Poppin" und "Tell 'Em I Said That" gefallen mir, der Rest is Durchschnitt oder schlechter...

Tip ist sein eigentlicher Name.
Das Album ist soweit ganz okay geworden, hatte aber weitaus mehr erwartet und demnach kommt es nicht an "King" ran.
Aber der Track "Hurt" ist ja mal
Wie die teilweise dort flowen und die Hook erst.

nette sig

TIP heißt Ten Inch Player

Sehe das genau so!

Meine fav. Tracks sind:
"Tell 'Em I Said That" --> Wegen den Beatwechseln.
"Big Shit Poppin'" ---> Geht einfach nur ab, typischer TI Song
"You Know What It Is" ---> Saucooler Beat
und eben "Hurt" ---> Hammergeile Verse, Busta killt den Song!!

Gar nicht mag ich den Track mit Em.... Scheißsong imo und "We Do This" mag ich auch nicht besonders, Rest ist ganz in Ordnung bis gut.

_________________

konnte mit dem typen noch nie was anfangen. habe ne zeit lang ab und zu mal "bring em out" gehört, aber seit diesem pac track mit ashanti is der typ für mich erstrecht nich mehr interessant

Find "T.I. vs. T.I.P." recht gelungen. Kann auf Anhieb mehr mit diesem Release anfangen wie mit "King", fragt nicht warum. Auf Anhieb gefallen haben mir "Big Shit Poppin'", "Hurt" und der in meinen Augen vielleicht geilste Track auf diesem Album, "Help Is Coming". Alles in allem viele ordentliche Songs und mit dem Nelly-Feature "Show It To Me" eine absolute Katastrophe
