T.I. preparing to drop new album

Man you guys are old school. They are going to drop a CD not an album and I donk thingk they even seel albums anymore.

What's an album or a CD? I only know 8-track...

Well Hip Hop is mainstream now, so of course it is gonna be more pop inspired. Even back in the day, they might have sounded more genuine. But it was always bout the paper.

An album is a collection of recorded songs, it can drop on any format.

And I'm a 90's Hiphop guy too, but I don't think it's fair to just write TI off because he doesn't sound like MF Doom. His sound is commercial, sure, but at his best he's a major league lyricist (although whatever u like is the worst song I've ever heard)

Hmmm, he's definitely not as bad as some of the cats on the radio now (like lil wayne's entire crew), but i wouldn't put him as major league even at his best. If we're talking crazy lyricists of the present, I'd give that title to cats like Celph-Titled, Esoteric, Immortal Tech, Murs, etc... I think they'd rhyme circles around TI (but this is just imo, of course).

Funny you mention Doom too... dudes got crazy lyrics and wordplay. But I liked his delivery a lot more when he was with KMD. He just sounds real monotone and off-beat nowadays.

I wanted to say something just like this, but I'm steadily finding myself feeling like an old crotchety man hahaha. I miss names like Big L, Tribe and Boot Camp.

Now, kids have redefined hip hop into hip pop:

WTF is this?!

I don't know but I know that I would like to give it to her, age permitting of course.

Edit: oh wow, apparently the chick in the video was shot in the neck back in Sep (http://www.ballerstatus.com/2009/09/15/ella-ann-of-the-bangz-has-been-shot-and-in-critical-condition/). What is the world coming to?

In the joint they call these kiddies fresh fish.

Okay but there are still some good rappers. Snoop is still going strong, Jay-Z is of course blowing up the charts constantly and then.. There's Kanye. Who is widely hated, but you gotta give him credit, he sells records.

But I guess Snoop and Jay falls into the 90's rappers category. If we should be talking about anyone's CDs I think they deserve a thread more than T.I.

And not everyone is a Soulja Boy rapper. Cause damn, he stinks. and dude, remember the Stanky Legg? Phew, thank God that song was merely a flash in the pan.

TI is alright, but does his "dropping" of a new album actually warrant a thread? I could drop my album "Who Gives a Shit" tomorrow but would anyone actually care?

Exactly. I saw this thread title and thought, "there may be never have a been a thread topic I cared less about than that." (Aside from all the video game threads).

I, too, am a 90's hip hop guy myself. Still listen to it all the time, especially in the gym. TI? Yeahno.

Considering a recent thread asking why there aren't more open lanes at Walmart made it to its fourth page, I kind of think its anything goes at this point in the PL.

I'm probably the only one who cares around here but I'm bored right now and I'm gona post it :) He's one of my favorite artists and he became my favorite rapper when I saw that video where he was showing respect to Sean Taylor and if you guys haven't heard Dead and Gone he also mentions his name at the end of the song but he had a lot of respect for Sean and I believe I read somewhere that they were friends and would of loved to go to his funeral but he was in jail, but anyways looking forward to hearing his new album
