    I feel Paperwork isn't far behind those either, T.I's discog is criminally underrated

    Would have loved to see a mention for how the album kicks off with King Back, you get the kick that he sounds at his most poised & focused and even took the time to run through his catalog before kicking off the 2nd verse. Those first 3 tracks will destroy your speakers. The promo mixtape that came a month a two before this dropped was pretty dope now that I remember.

    yeah, it's not far behind--and i think it has some of his absolute best material. "what up what's haapnin" is a sleeper pick for his top five.

    King is great but I loved Paper Trail. It had pretty big impact too. Both Jay & Eminem copied its blueprint too with BP3 & Recovery. B.o.B too had some success with it too.

    I remember hearing the song on the radio in December 2005. The promo on the radio was each day the DJ would play "the latest" material. Heard that track and searched Kazaa and Morpheus etc. to find it. I don't think I checked youtube but that s--- was super rare, couldn't find it anywhere. When it finally came out to dl it was on every album I made for the next few months lol.

    Average album

    T.I. only has one solid album in Trap Muzik easily by far his best album a 7/10 album

    He doesn't have a classic album

    It's no coincidence his sales declined so badly and hasn't had a platinum selling album since 2008 and can't even sell Gold anymore

    Though he is the 2nd greatest ever Lyricist/MC from South after Andre 3000

    Top 5 greatest ever period when it comes to Multi Syllable Rhyming

    caring about sales is one thing. confusing it for the quality of the music is another.

    Really good look back. I remember Stand Up Guy being the first song that clicked for me, and eventually, the entire album did soon after. I disagree however, Why You Wanna is superior to Lets Get Away. The atmosphere of Why You Wanna is so perfect.

    Haven't heard this album in a very long time.
    From what I remember, I absolutely loved the album. Definitely one of my favorite T.I. projects.
    Gonna revisit it later on when I get back home.
