T.I. vs. T.I.P. TRACK BY TRACK

ThA ViiRu5 · 06-27-2007, 12:01 AM

Act 1-

interesting beginning to an album...there's a reporter at the beginning announcing T.I. on the news...leads into an ok beat and T.I. comes in with a fast flow...lyrics are on point but lets be real, we cant understand a lot of them anyway.

Big Shit Poppin-

Good first single...i actually think the chorus is fuckin stupid. but the energy on this track is infectious. it's enough to get me bouncing in my seat. subtle guitar adds well to the beat.

Raw-

chorus is fuckin gay.....T.I. is lazy on this track. lackluster lyrics combined with not even finishing each word ("nobody do it well as uh [us] ")...this goes past southern accent into plain wack.

You Know What It Is-

a standout track. production was SICK. i woulda thought wyclef would be annoying but his addition wasnt irritating at all. T.I.'s flow is fuckin sick and the chorus is real on point. good production once again..

Da Dopeman-

well the title screams "JEEZY IS ON THIS TRACK"....anyway,. beat was not bad...chorus pissed me off...wasnt as bad as others tho...it just made me feel like i'd dropped a few IQ points....tip spits pretty good on here witta kinda kick-knowledge kinda flow.

Watch What You Say To Me-

chorus made me want to shoot myself...T.I.'s flow was terrible..shouldnt have tried tha new one...jigga was good...lyrics were sub-par but his delivery was enough to make me listen

Hurt (w/ Busta Rhymes and Alfa Mega)-

Chorus was stupid. everybody's flow was on point, i liked Busta's verse tha best but then again im a Busta fan..

Act 2-

beat was ok...i didnt mind this track..felt like an interlude...something needed...a little break from the album yet still the album. refreshing.

Help Is Coming-

good beat. i liked it. flow was on point, lyrics were on point, decent track overall.

My Swag-

nice production....chorus wasnt bad.....good swag song...as if u needed to know it was a swag song from the title...lol...i digress

We Do This-

rly feelin this track. chorus was aight and he didnt slack on the lyrics. i liked the way this song made me feel. empowering almost.

Show It To Me (w/ Nelly)-

well this collabo had to live up to "Get Loose" and unfortunately it failed...the beginnning sounded so garbo that i skipped the track...but when i actually bothered to listen to it, it wasnt that bad of a track.

Don't You Wanna Be High-

obvious content. not well done. lyrically on point but im not smokin to this.

Touchdown (w/ Eminem)-

good beat...bbut..predictable, if a beat can be so. after the first few notes i knew what the rest would sound like. Em tries to hard to ride the beat on the chorus, but the flow was a monster. good metaphors used but in the end a little dissapointing, compared to my expectations.

Act 3-

i loved this. the two personalities (T.I and T.I.P.) arguing with eaach other...one was ghetto and grimy and angry as fuck...the other cool, calm, collected and wise. great thing to listen to. breath of fresh air for hip-hop to see bot hsides of the coin.

Tell 'Em I Said That-

odd song...content was all over the place and didnt piece together to well..but each individual one was done well.

Respect This Hustle-

stupid beat....lazy lyrics...he rhymned the word six with six like six times......

^^ look at that ppl....six..six..six..666?

the devil's number? aaaaaahah well this track coulda used the extra heat....however it couldve done without my corny reviewing

My Type-

good beat, i rly liked this track. good shit to just lay back and vibe to.

OVERALL-

you know what? fuck it, this was a good CD...not as good as some of his others...but i enjoyed seeing the evolution of this MC, and im impressed with his work ethic comin out with an album so soon after King....i was dissapointed with how many times i had to say his chorus's sucked...dude needs MAD work on hooks...but overall, this was a good album, ima give it 3.5/5.....

good review the album was decent king and urban legend was better i dont know what he was thinking this time around

....DeMoNiK.... · 06-27-2007, 03:55 AM

i was going wait . . .i'm not buying it rather d/l good review though

ODM aka ur Dad · 06-28-2007, 04:33 PM

theres only like 2 tracks dat r wack

Witty Qwan · 06-28-2007, 04:41 PM

doesnt sound that good from ya review(hooks/lazyness)

might not cope it

ThA ViiRu5 · 06-29-2007, 02:09 PM

bumpin..........

Tha Unit On Top · 06-29-2007, 04:39 PM

Yeah, this album was good, but not a good follow up to King. I didnt think the production was that great, thought Jays verse was dope, and I thought the track with Em was hot, beat is ok, nothing great, thought the hook was weak, but Em def ripped that shit with the southern flow. Wonder why they didnt put that track TI talked about with Em rapping about TIP and Slim and shit, thats the track that would have fit well with this whole concept about TI and TIP. But is it me or is TI getting kinda gay with this shit, he is interviewing TI as TIP and shit? Saying sorry for TIP and this shit? Its kinda gay if you ask me.

common sense · 07-04-2007, 04:39 AM

good but nothing great.could've been better

Komplex · 07-04-2007, 11:50 PM

I wasn't payin much attention to TI's music this time around.....but readin this review made me wanna hear the album. good shit fam.

DCtheruler · 07-05-2007, 08:25 AM

well im a fan of hip hop in general and a fan of t.i. i think cd was pretty good
i like the concept of the cd in general if u listen u can tell its a battle with in himself with the ti vs tip review wasnt to good to me but pretty decent

Komplex · 07-07-2007, 03:17 PM

aite I listened to the album myself. it was decent.

my favorite tracks.....Watch What You Say To Me, Hurt, Raw, Tell Em I Said That, Help Is Coming, Big Shit Poppin

this album was hit or miss. when he was on point, he was on point....when he was wack he was wack.......reminds me of Im Serious.

the album was not as consistent throughout as Trap Muzik, Urban Legend, and KING.

Rating: 3/5.

techh23 · 07-08-2007, 05:50 AM

If you don't buy an album because of the hooks, you are stupid. Fast forward buttons were made for a reason.

leosawman · 07-31-2007, 06:37 PM

Rider · 09-18-2007, 01:04 PM
