Now doesn't this joint warrant it's own post rather than playing second fiddle in the Fishscale thread? What are y'all's thoughts?

emynd · March 2006

This album is excellent. There are a few weak tracks--"Stand Up Guy" and that Crystal Waters one--but I can't remember a stronger 1-2-3-4-5-6 leadoff than:

King Back
Front Back
What You Know
I'm Talkin' To You
Live In The Sky
Ride Wit Me

happy to see that it takes a dood like Just to sell them some kaypeehem loops... The whole LP is cold beside this song...

Does 'cold' have a negative connotation to you?

I can't comment on the record yet... still haven't picked it up... but the hit sounds awfully Jeezyesque... which is fine but I wanna hear T.I. sound like T.I...

kaypeehem loops

haha, nice

The album is really good. Stop that and cop that.

In otherwords, don't be a ponce.

Whats up with the bonus DVD?

Do I even need to ask... I've never even watched many of the ones I have...

Essential cultural artifact!

Nah, it's got about ten minutes of footage from a live show in Houston, an audio track for "Drive Slow" with an added verse from TIP, and a video for the "Front Back" remake... nothing you really need to have.

But seriously, letting a full three days elapse from the release date without copping this album is borderline ponce behavior.

izm707 · March 2006

Hehe, i was in my own world when i used that word "cold", sorry...I meant cold as in "Triton-cold", or "Korg-Cold", or "NordLead-Cold"...Add up if you want.lol...I meant that the warmness of the trump in that King's Back track have no match in the rest of the LP. That's what i meant to be more accurate...

tonyphrone · March 2006

I like this dude- he's got "charisma". More rappers need this (not you Ghost!).

Lotta poncery going round these days...

It's an epidemic. Prophylactic measures are a must.

Word, even Faux himself was guilty of "poncery" the other day...
Back on topic, i heard The King Back and i like it a lot, but what's the other Just Blaze track saying? Does anyone care to upload it? (I'm expecting the answer to be no...)

Not in your life, son. You must have me confused with one of these little dudes.

YES.

Aaron · April 2006

Finally purchased today.

Better than Urban Legend, but I want to hear T.I. flip the story book open like he did in "Trap Muzik" and "Long Live Da Game." Same goes for those diary-like joints "Doin' My Job" and "Prayin' for Help."

Trap Muzik is still my favorite.

But if I can quote that REAL chopped and screwed bitch from "America's Next Top Model": "Don't get it twisted." New album has some floor-fillers, for sure. Shit -- "Get It" alone... hotter than a redhead on a crotch rocket.

Unless one is waiting for the wax to drop. In the meantime, MP3 will suit me fine.

sonofsam · April 2006

this is my favorite rap album since "purple haze"... there are a few joints i'm not crazy about, but overall, this is a great album IMO... i haven't even been able to listen to "fishscale" all at once because i got these at the same time, and i really like ghostface

seriously, this is

the front back video is also blazin'... the bun b endorsement of a-town sneakers should do wonders for their sales

batmon · April 2006

Copped it last night.

The first half iz

, then it drops off a little.

This is my first T.I. album.

Why You Wanna

sorry, but i like that shit. Im kind of a closet fan of the crystal waters song too. Although i guess that is kinda suspect haha. But put that shit on at a club, and watch what happens.
