My feelings about TI are hot and cold. I am not a big fan, but also don't dislike him the way I do with others. This album is about the same as most of his others that I have. I really feel some songs, don't feel others at all, and I'm indifferent to some. I have to say that I've never really been a big fan of TI's flow, but at least I understand why people do like it, unlike with Weezy. Well, I like tracks like "56 Bars", "I'm Illy", "My Life Your Entertainment", "Swing Ya Rag", "Slide Show", "You Ain't Missin Nothin", etc. However, when I have to hear Rihanna yodeling on the radio nonstop, I begin to cringe when this album comes on. Clearly, I don't know why they did that track. "Whatever you like" is not as bad, I can listen to it, but definitely do not enjoy it. "Swagga Like Us" reeks of Kanye, but is a decent track overall. I was a little thrown off by the marching band-ish drum beat, but listened to it on better speakers with more bass and was able to appreciate what Yeezy was doing with the beat. All in all, this is a decent album. It still doesn't touch "King", but it's not nearly as bad as "TI vs. TIP". If you're a TI fan, you'll love it. If you're like me, you'll appreciate it. Even if you hate TI, you'll probably tolerate this album pretty well.6/10
