 Classic September 24, 2008
This cd is classic and he only gets better and better as he makes more cds so buy them all.
Doesn't Disappoint! December 18, 2007
Man, I'll admit. I slept on T.I. for a few years. Until he dropped this Trap Muzik album. Listen, this thing be hittin' from track 1 all the way through the album. There isn't a song on here you have to skip. It's that good. When the man says he gets better with time, HE MEANS IT! This album woke me up to the monster that is T.I.. Go get this.
TRAP MUZIK, the cd that put him on the map July 25, 2007
Everybody should know TI by now. He been in the rap game for a minute. He bought it with this cd. He had the street athem 24's, which was a straight single; but rubberband man is the song that blew his career up. He was also on bone crusher's neva scared which he dropped a fire verse. Other hot tracks on this cd include the title track, i can't quit, be easy; a song in which he addressing the haters, let's get away; a smooth track that have TI talking to the ladies, the afore metioned 24's, rubberband man. For every TI cd that came out he had at least one deep song on it. I still love you have TI talking to different people in his family split into 3 verses. Bezzle should have been a single. Probably one of the hottest tracks on this cd. Bun B and MJG delivered fire verses. The last 2 tracks on here were straight as well. Not saying TI went pop after this cd; but the next 3 TI cd's had a different vibe. With that said, cop this classic cd from one of the best southern artists out right now.
T.I. P.I.M.P. He's the Man July 11, 2007
Since his sophomore album was released in 2003, T.I. has officially blown up. His singles "U Don't Know Me," "What U Know", "Bring Em Out", and "Big Things Poppin" are all major hits. With the release of "T.I. Vs. T.I.P." this month, T.I. now has 5 albums under his belt (2001's I'm Serious, 2003's Trap Muzik, 2004's Urban Legend, 2006's King, and 2007's T.I. Vs. T.I.P.). Trap Muzik, to be honest, is an album I thoroughly enjoy. I bumped the clean version like crazy when it first dropped, and have recently obtained an explicit copy and can't stop playing it. It's like I'm discovering it all over again. And if you're sleeping on his earlier albums, especially this one, then you better wake up.
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 July 9, 2007
When I buy a CD, I expected to like more then 3 or 4 songs out of 18. My expectations for this Cd were obviously way too high. This was a very disappointing CD because the beats weren't catchy enough to keep my attention.
