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.

"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!
