T.I. – "I'm Back"

“Standin’ tall through the storm/On the yard or in the dorm/It’s cats in prison who expectin’ me to represent for ‘em…”

With one superstar going in, another announces his return. I’ve been waiting to hear new music from Tip for awhile now, so any new music from dude is always going to be appreciated. I always wonder what he’d speak about upon his release. A straight and narrow path or the wild, reckless Tip we’ve seen in the past? At least for one song, I got my answer. Clifford, with months of prison time on his conscience, let it be known who’s throne it was on his new record, “I’m Back.”

Like my dude Maurice Garland said, if anything on the song was a “let down,” it was the beat. I expected the beat to be on some next world, out of this planet type music. It’s a hard beat, don’t get it twisted, but “You Don’t Know Me” it is not. Regardless, T.I. rips it to shreds and even has a few choiced words for a fellow ATLien who has apparently found themselves in the doghouse. It’s not Luda. It’s not Shawty Lo. It’s not Gucci. And it’s obviously not Jeezy. So your guess is good as mine on that note.

Enough talking though. You listen and make your own decision.
