T.I. - King (Review)
So yeeeah all you pirates and pirarettes, it’s dropped. One of the only Down South rappers that most people can tolerate will be dropping his 3rd effort come next week (the 28th I think), and I’ll be damned if it isn’t worth coppin’.
It’s got good production, with hot producers like Just Blaze and (possibly to be considered) Manny Fresh. With all the recent album’s to come out that sound like you could’ve done ‘em with your computer mic and Fruity Loops, you can tell from the first track that some cash was slapped on the table for this one. So it’s definitely ahead of the game when it comes to production value, like Game’s album, crystal clear with hot beats. Good times indeed.
Keeping in his Down South “I sold bricks big as your house” persona and “Sex is my past time”, and who’s isn’t it, he’s got the lyrics, ad libs, and metaphors everybody expects from him. So all in all it’s a good album that’s worth a listen. Plus all the skits have Mike Epps in ‘em, so that’s an added bonus to the goodness of the album.

Welp that’s the review, go check it out, legally or not (doesn’t matter to me, but I’m not condoning piracy, ’cause I’m not tryin’ to get sued), it’s worth it.
Oh and I didn’t review Prince’s album ’cause well… I only listened to it once and I only liked like 1 track enough to listen to it more then once. It’s more or less for die hard Prince fans. And as for the Ghostface album, I didn’t review that ’cause I didn’t feel like it; but it’s the hotness so go cop that along with this T.I. album too. [tags]T.I., King[/tags]
