Album Review: T.I. - Paper Trail!!!!!!!

Written By Samir Siddiqui
T.I.’s last major release, T.I. vs. T.I.P., was akin to a story
about a hero without obstacles- though the protagonist (and in T.I.’s
case, two lead characters) were interesting enough on their own, a
sense of complacency on the writer’s part put a serious hamper on the
well-produced proceedings. This time around, T.I. has simplified the
writing process to a pen and a pad, and there is no shortage of drama
for Tip to sort through. Juggling emotions and reflections on
everything from his impending prison sentence (”Ready for Whatever) to
the deaths of his daughter and close-friend (”You Ain’t Missin’
Nothin’), Paper Trail is T.I.’s most lyrically-engaging album to date.
