Featuring production by the Trackslayerz duo — whose credits include Jim Jones’ “Pulling Me Back” and Yung Joc’s “Posted at Da Store” — we get our first listen to post-prison T.I. with the release of the aptly-titled “I’m Back.” Coming out guns blazing, Tip comes out taking the time mention those who held him down and takes a few shots @ those who he felt attempted to slip into his slippers while he was on his federal-sponsored vacation. No names called on the latter half, but expect a few rabbits to poke their head out of their holes seeking infamy soon enough.

Well, it’s official. King’s back.
Damn, Tip went in. You can tell he used his time wisely and kept an ear to the street. Strongly Recommend.
I have inner conflict whether to read TSS or 2dopeboyz whenever talks of a new single drops. TSS offer insightful comments while 2dope have the most ignit niggas ever.
On topic: Paper Trail didn’t attract me that much (nevertheless, I still got it), but I feel this track is back to that Urban Legend, which was a great listen.
This Shit Is Hectic Tell Drake It Might Just Be “Over” COTDAMN!!!…
Does not have that honesty aspect of ‘Paper Trail’
you DID let me down TI, but its okay because this is just a single
This Shit Is Hectic Tell Drake It Might Just Be “Over” COTDAMN!!!…
LOL
Only took TIP 6 albums to make something hot for once.
“What’s a molotov cocktail that never break the glass.”
The beat and TI’s flow is ridonkulous.
tha king has been the best rapper out the south over the last 8 years
tha king has been the best rapper out the south over the last 8 years
Yeah that’s pretty sad…….
this shit is TOUGH… glad he spent that time behind the wall wisely. can’t wait to hear what else he’s got cookin.
Well, i reckon T.I. is second best, killer mike being first…
its good to see tip back the flow is fire, the beat is ok, expecting more though with the next one.
tha king has been the best rapper out the south over the last 8 years
u must have neva heard Andre 3000, Big Boi, Scarface, or Bun B…
I still say…
The Recession > Paper Trail

===============================================================
I think Tip’s overtaken them all with his consistency.
2 Trill was weak sauce. Admit it.
I still say…
The Recession > Paper Trail
^^^
Nah.
The Recession > Paper Trail
================
By leaps and bounds, homie.
@Dora…is that you, Shawty Lo?
I still say…
The Recession > Paper Trail
^^^
Nah.
^^^
Umm…yeah.
There was no bubblegum on The Recession.
Paper Trail damn near came with a baseball card in the packaging.
Hmm, beat sounds strangely familiar… *bumps Young Jeezy’s Get Your Mind Right*
@amp: cosign, I can’t fuck with paper trail at all, after hearing those singles a billion times everywhere it makes me nauseous.
I can’t lie, there’s depth and meaningful messages on PT but the glossy sheen dilutes it.
The Recession is raw, no cut.
Tip needs to get serious again.
Recession > PT.
In regards to this, well, I just forgot about the Drake track lol.
I still say…
The Recession > Paper Trail
========
Was this ever up for discussion? The Recession is straight motivational music, no TM101. Paper Trail sounds like T.I.’s most commercial album to date. Honest album, but like It’s the God said, the singles makes me sick.
And *DEAD* @ David D. Carloooossssss!
Is He Taking Shots At Yung La???
“I’m Disapointed In You Dog You Ain’t Hold Me Down At All But I Ain’t Goin In Ya’ Jaw I’m Just Gon’ Show You How To Ball”
“Tight Jeans, funny haircuts, dancing on the screen. Its a drought of real niggaz in the game so it seems”
Is He Taking Shots At Yung La???
==============================
I don’t see why…he signed that fruit loop. It’s his fault.
The king? of who? the snitches? the neighborhood watch? Tip Drilling? King of what?
Ain’t this the same Drill Tipper who has a 1(800)Tip-Dril informant hotline?
I think Tip’s overtaken them all with his consistency.
i cant even take that comment seriously
this is fiya, paper trail >>>>>>>>>>>>>>recession. Recession was pure FABRICATION at it’s best and Grand Hustle bout to TAKE OVER! I can’t wait for the Mike Bigga, TIP and B.o.B. classics that are on deck.
By leaps and bounds, homie.
@Dora…is that you, Shawty Lo?
I don’t know know/care who the fuck Shawty Lo is.
You from the south tho homie?
Interesting.
Almost like a Jay-Z post lol.
Carry on!
LOL, it pains people to have to mention T.I. in the same sentences as Scarface. Sooner or later people will admit it.
so is this tip’s first track since coming out? b/c that “let ‘em talk” joint w/ nard & b was hard.
He Had To Chill A Lil’ Bit On Paper Trail Because He Was Still On Trial In My Opinion But you See As Soon As The Cuffs Came Off He Back To What We Know And Love (No HomO)
TIP CAME HARD ON THIS ONE GOOD SONG TO RE-INTRO HIMSELF BAK TO THE GAME ON
O YEA THE RECESSION WAS WAY BETTER THEN PAPER TRAIL
I MESS WIT TIP BUT IT WAS TOO COMMERCIAL FOR ME
It’s hot…but gimme back Trap Muzick T.I.
I finally just listened to this track though and shit is ill haha.
TIP sucks sorry my opinion hes to boring and sounds the same every song yawwwwwwwwwwwn wake me when andre comes outwit new shit or in 8 months helll when dizzee comes wit new shit
jeez king of nothing really at all
Hate is the new love. The dude is still one of the most consistent, and pretty much all the commenting folks on this thread will bob their heads when more music starts flooding. [II] on purpose.
I wont I respect it I guess
lmao @ everybody so quick to crown ‘haters’
ive been a fan of Tip since his early mixtapes,
Down With The King when he shit on Lil Flip was what secured me as a fan…howeva he is not the best in the south or anywhere close.
he is top 10 maybe.
Cee-Lo
Devin
Bun B
Andre
Big Boi
Celph Titled
Trick Daddy
MJG
Scarface
Luda
^^^ all betta than Tip
its the king well u finish the rest
not luda mans not top 10 at all look I like wayne lots so already loose respect in yall eyes but tip and luda plkz nigga
Although Tip may not be as “lyrical” as 3Stacks, Face etc what places him on top is the fact he’s consistent. And we can’t front dude goes in when he wants too. Some say Luda (his music wears off very easy IMO) Most say 3Stacks (Can’t deny the skill set but he stays on vacation). In my mind Face will always and forever be the KING OF THE SOUTH.
Yo this shit hard & dope as hell! T.I.P. sounds hungry as hell again & I can’t wait for the new album!
daaamn!!!
this is the real T.I.!!!!!!!
Dude said Celph Titled.
lol.
A lot of yall are on crack calling him “King”. This pop fruit cake cant touch Face’s shoes. Face never succumbed to the commercialization, and kept it street since day one. He’s the only Southern MC that anyone ever mentions with the likes of Pac, Big L, Nas, Rakim, Jay-z, Cube, or any of the other top MCs. As someone in his early 20s, I’ll always have respect for Face.
TI who? King of what? Please. And btw, the track sucked.
This is what that Molotov cocktail line was about.
