Music of the Moment - October 8, 2008

"Rebel for the hell of it/
Hella rich/Never have to sell a brick again/
Must I tell a bitch again/
The bullshit I'm addressin' check I'm on some next level shit/
Never been fucked in the game, I'm celibate/
Rarely out my element/Barely out the ghetto with
One foot and one foot in as intelligent as fellas get/
Listen, let's settle this, be clear I could fall back seven years
And still ain't no one ahead of me..."
-T.I., I'm Illy, Paper Trail

Aight, so I went and copped Paper Trail. Let me first say that it's pretty good. Tip has a lot to say and the beats are insane. He even sounds hungry as shit on the album. My favorite joint [besides Swagga Like Us] on this one so far is I'm Illy. Tip is going mad hard on this joint. That'swhatshesaid. Check it.


[Note: Paper Trail album review coming soon.]

Music of the Moment - August 23, 2008 [Part Two]

OK. So it was definitely worth having two Music of the Moment posts today. When I started looking for the Tracklist for T.I.'s Paper Trail, the joint "Swagger Like Us" immediately caught my eye. My candidate for Song of the Summer. It's Kanye, Jay-Z, Lil Wanye and T.I. on the same joint.

Epic to say the least.

[Note: Great use of the M.I.A. sample too. Paper Trail is gonna be tough.]
