Album Description
Fast-rising hip-hop superstar T.I. follows his massive underground hit 'In Da Streets, Parts 1 & 2' with his eagerly awaited Grand Hustle/Atlantic debut. Featuring the bouncing, head-bobbing first single, '24's'. 16 tracks. 2003.Customer Reviews:
TRAP MUZIK, the cd that put him on the map.......2007-07-25
T.I. P.I.M.P. He's the Man.......2007-07-11
I can't find a weak track on here. The title song "Trap Muzik" featuring Mac Boney has T.I. spitting about what the industry really is: a trap. ("This ain't no album this ain't no game this a trap!") "I Can't Quit" has T.I. speaking about his haters and how sometimes he wants to give up but keeps doing his thing. "Be Easy" was released as a single and you can tell why. The beat which samples Al Wilson's Somebody to Love really complements T.I.'s flow well as he boasts lazily and tells you that you don't want no problems with him. "No More Talk" has always been a favorite of mine. San Holmes samples Gary Wright's Can't Find the Judge and Tip spits some nice lyrics:
"When they run it into a tower, they just say it's Saddam
Screaming Allah the moment that it's hitting the building
With total disregard for all men women and children
See ni**as get killed when people mix they money with feelings
I'm filling my money up in the wall some in the ceiling
I'm just one of the millions of ni**az who ?
It's a war going on and they killing for nothing
We were in denial all awhile they where flicking the buttons
I'd rather be dying for something instead of living for nothing."
"Doin My Job" has T.I. telling his neighbors that he's not trying to cause destruction when he hustles, he's just trying to make a living. Kanye West provides the perfect beat. "Let's Get Away", produces by Jazze Pha, was also released as a single. I'm feeling this track; it's very chilled out and T.I. knows how to spit game to the ladies. "24's" was the song that made me check Tip out. I loved the beat, I loved his flow, and I still love it to this day. It was the perfect choice for the first single. "Rubberband Man" blew up as well. Produced by David Banner, T.I. used the rubberband to represent his struggle, as he says so in the song. "Look What I Got" is a hot braggadacio song with a tight beat by DJ Tooomp. "I Still Luv You" is one of T.I.'s most personal songs, other than "I Still Ain't Forgave Myself". He raps to his girlfriend, his dad, and his little daughter:
"How could I look her in her eyes and holla dat aint mine
Her stomach gettin' bigger, and time is gettin' close
Six, seven, eight, nine months and I ain't told my folks
Not just messiah mama, hell, I had told your granny
Three kids in two years, baby, daddy had it
But I ain't ashamed of you, I'm more ashamed of me
It's not at all your fault, you'd be better off blamin' me
But now I realize, where the problem lies
Forgive me babygirl, I apologize"
"Let Me Tell You Something" is a more grown up ladies track, something I wish Tip would do a bit more. Again Kanye West laces the beat with a dope sample of "I Want To Be Your Man". T.I. produces his own track for "T.I. Vs. T.I.P.", a dope cut where his two alter egos go at each other. I liked the idea for this album, but in present day 2007 I think TI is just trying to capitalize off his two names. "Bezzle" features Eightball, MJG, and Bun B. Now when you have three southern legends and a legend in the making on one track, you know it's gonna be nothing short of spectacular. "Kingofdasouth" has some more of those bragging lyrics. He has reinforced this claim plenty of times since this album dropped, but he's never sounded hotter than he does here. "Be Better Than Me" is a cut where you can apply the "Do as I say, not as I do" line. Tip tells a youngster that he can make something out of himself without turning into a young hustler. "Long Live Da Game" kinda serves as an outro song.
T.I. created an album that is nothing short of fire with this one. From "Trap Muzik" to "Long Live Da Game", everything is hot. Also, T.I. rolled solo for the most part, only having 4 guests, where 3 are on one track. Tip gets a chance to shine and the results are phenomenal. Since this record, Tip went a little commercial with "Urban Legend" and so on, but he's never lost his swagger or his flow. To date, however, this remains his best album with fire production and on point lyrics. "I'm Serious" comes in at a close second. If you think T.I. is weak because of his latest offerings, I suggest you give Trap Muzik a spin.
Terrible.......2007-07-09
"Trap Muzik" - Better Than I Thought.......2007-06-26
Surprisingly, there's a lot of substance to be found here, much of it driven by T.I.'s Southern-drawled, swagger-loaded delivery. Although much of the album is spent on venting out on inferior rappers, as on the hard-hitting Southern bounce of the Mac Boney-assisted title track, "King Of Da South" or "No More Talk", a Rock-inflected insight into life in the hood, there's still plenty of substance in the following - "Doin' My Job", a Kanye West-produced insight into T.I.'s childhood and life; "I Still Luv You", a (mostly) heartfelt ode to his family and/or lover; "T.I. vs. T.I.P.", an introspective self-conversation that's surpriisngly original; and the uplifting "Be Better Than Me", where T.I. speeds up his flow over Sanchez Holmes' wah wah guitar/organ-driven production, is one of the most immediately gripping songs on the album, even if the song and it's "be better than me" implication contradicts the braggadocious s***-talk and opponent rapper put-downs he shows across the record, such as on tracks like the DJ Toomp-produced banger "Be Easy."
The biggest surprise, though, is rapper/producer David Banner, who lays out a surprisingly heavy beat for T.I. to spit his game over - T.I.'s not really saying much, but the gloomy organ, double-speed hi-hats, bassline and chorus-bound kiddie choir make the listening experience more enjoyable. If only "Trap Muzik" was filler-free; in other words, the ladies joints bring this album down. "Lets Get Away" is the most obvious example - an anonymous female crooner and Jazze Pha lend their vocals to the smooth hook over the aforementioned dude's smooth blend of organ and wah wah guitar, but the track completely falls apart, largely because of the sleazy sexual innuendo that slides out of T.I.'s mouth (slightly more specifically, his come-ons include squirting semen in their faces, sticking "it" into ecstacy-affected chicks who are licking his face...you get the idea); and although "Let Me Tell You Something" is less crass, it simply lacks sincerity. Then of course there's the materialistic ode to cars ("24's") and actual materialism ("Look What I Got") that not even T.I. can get away with (unlike almost every other rapper, I can put up with T.I.'s materialistic references easier).
All in all, "Trap Muzik" is a solid debut with more substance than I expected, even if there are bits of filler to be found amongst the hard-hitting Southern music and smooth, "semi-Soul-ful" sounds that fill this album. 4 stars!
5 Best Tracks (IMO) (In No Order):
"Rubberband Man"
"Be Better Than Me"
"Trap Muzik" (feat. Bac Boney)

Eleven years in the making?.......2007-07-22
Bringing home the cover showing a thugged-out Wise Intelligent and a scantily-clad lady, I had a few qualms, but the old addage about not judging a book by its cover holds true. After only a few listens, Wise had me sold once again. He sounds exactly like the same rapper I loved in Poor Righteous Teachers. The social activism here is awesome. He advocates for issues like the best did in the early 90s, but everything he raps about is totally relevant today. He raps about problems surrounding racism, drug wars, urban youth, and poverty. His verses are all very well-thought out, clever, and thought-provoking. My favorite tracks are a handful where he becomes personal, digging into his own life and offering some emotional insight on what he's been through. He frequently brings out the dancehall-toaster in him, which pleased me as well. I was extremely impressed with Wise Intelligent's performance on "The Talented Timothy Taylor," which was inspired throughout.
I also really liked the production. Wise could have gone a few routes with the music. I thought he could have sounded dated using his comfortable 90s-style production, or sound a little awkward over contemporary beats. The beats here are very current-sounding, but he sounds great over them. A few tracks bear the nostalgic soulful sound of a Kanye West production, complete with sped-up whiny vocal samples. There are a few bangers like he always brought out in his heyday, and some more subtle, understated ones too. The instrumentals are very nice. At 23 tracks, there are numerous skits, which tend to be vocal pieces of people going through struggles and despair, which Wise elaborates upon in the following songs.
The album opens with the beautiful piano solo and vocal sample of "Another Chance at Life," a perfect opener. Wise raps about his return, and also provides insight upon the breakup of PRT, the death of his sister, and his hopes for the future. The more upbeat "I'm Him" announces his comeback again, in a confident fashion. The only track I really didn't like was "Sensi Party." Wise's verses are okay, but the weak hook and beat fall flat for a club track. The nostalgic, soulful "Go With Me" has some nice verses, and the very Jamaican-influenced "Youth & Thugs" brings the conscious rap to the forefront, addressing problems for inner-city youths over some rough production. "A Genocide" elaborates similarly, talking about what young, poor black males face daily. I really like "Ganja Smugglin," a great first-person narrative about a high-profile drug trade involving a man and his girlfriend. I like how he just makes this entertaining, but also subliminally puts some consciousness there too, and the beat is nice, with a reggae-styled hook. "Police Can Do" is solid, and my favorite song is definitely "Passing Tha Time." The beat on this song is perfect, a pumped-up, horn-laden soul track with a gorgeous vocal sample. Wise Intelligent's raps are inspiring, he speaks lovingly to a lifetime friend from behind bars. The racially-fueled "Still Black" and heavily-conscious "Mama Cry" both bring the relevance that hip hop severely lacks right now, over nice beats nonetheless that might bring back memories of Black Business and New World Order. The rock guitar-laced "Summer in the JECTS" profiles a day in the housing projects. I like how he just provides simple commentary, giving pure facts and leaving the listener to think of solutions. One of the best highlights is the short "Barnes & Noble (+Lesson)," a very clever and funny track. "This Is Love" is a decent love track, it's a little slow and drags a bit. "Intelligent Wise" is fast, pure, and fun, and "Set U Free" is well-produced and well-written. The album closes with the thought-provoking "Cold World," which talks about current ills of society.
If you really love hip hop, this is the type of album I hope you'd support. We have here a legendary vet making an unlikely comeback that is not likely to move many copies, and he brings a great performance with unrivaled talent. But most importantly, he's making good music with a positive message. This type of social activism and relevant music is certainly lacking in hip hop right now, and this is refreshing for so many reasons. It feels really good to listen and rave about an album by Wise Intelligent once again. I highly recommend "The Talented Timothy Taylor." Old fans will love hearing his unique voice once again, and new listeners will find him easily accessible.
Wisdom Still Intact {4 Stars}.......2007-07-19
There are a handful of tracks that fell under skip material for this listener. "Sensi Party" has a good theme, but it lacked a decent hook and somewhat uninteresting production. The same could be said about "Youths & Thugs". There aren't any wack tracks and the message that Wise has made a career out of spreading remains in tact. The problem for me is when some beats and rhymes don't mesh all that well. Otherwise, things are great. I'd have to say that out of 18 tracks (5 of the 23 are skits/interludes) at least 13 are worth checking out.
I can't speak for other listeners, but I was a little worried that Wise would trade in his razor sharp flow for something a more contemporary and up to date (a lot of my old favorites that are making comebacks have done just that). Fear not, the flow is still in tact. Despite come dangerously close to crossing the (even if only on one or two songs), he never actually crosses it. Whether you were a fan of Poor Righteous Teachers back in the 90's or even if this is your first time ever hearing him rhyme, I'm willing to bet that you'll end up loving this album. I recommend adding this album to your music library.

Perhaps this would have been better named Murda Muzak. With their fourth album, the third since their seminal The Infamous, Mobb Deep recycle themselves to the point of self-parody. How much slower and darker can your grooves get? How many rhymes about cash, crime, and hoes can you write? How many albums can Raekwon and Nas cameo on? There are moments that will shake you out of the soporific slumber: "Adrenaline" with its pounding drum track, and the slick, sliding bass line on "The Realest," featuring a cameo from Kool G Rap. However, during Mobb Deep's hiatus between Hell On Earth and Murda Muzik, artists like DMX, the Ruff Ryders, and Ja Rule filled the vacuum left by the Mobb's crime stories. To keep up, Havoc and Prodigy are going to have to get Deep(er) than the thugged-out "Quiet Storm" they present here. --Oliver WangCustomer Reviews:

Interesting compilation.......2007-06-11
I don't really understand why another reviewer complained about the sound quality of this disc, because I never noticed anything bad about it. Now that "New York London Paris Munich" has been released in a more deluxe package, you may want to pick that version up instead of this one. However, diehards will want that version of "M Factor" with the proper intro.
