T.I. says he doesn’t know when his Paper Trail LP will be released this year, but it was clear when he talked to us on Wednesday (February 12) that his competitive itch is coming out, though he’s still on house arrest while awaiting trial on gun-possession charges.

“It’s a lot of bullsh– out right now,” he told MTV News via phone from Atlanta. “I’m not gonna front. I feel it’s definitely about time for somebody to come back out and kick this thing back in gear. The rotation is suffering right now. I intend to do something about it. It’s just a matter of when.”

One record that is a lock to make the album is “Let My Beat Pound.”
 

“That’s gonna be a big record,” Tip said. “It’s a different record. It’s a record I approached differently, and it don’t sound like a typical T.I. record. It’s basically about when you got your first car, one of the first things was to make sure your [sound] system was right. [Oh Lord… — Kid Fury] The love for the boomin’ system. It has the sentiments of LL Cool J’s ‘Boomin’ System,’ but it kind of sounds like a Sir Mix-A-Lot [song]. It’s kinda got the mood and tempo of ‘Posse on Broadway,’ but it’s outta here.” [ source ]

Glad to hear that Cliff is still holding up and working hard. We really need more chicken wing-eating Negroes in the game, so the quicker he gets back the better.
