    T.I. makes some good and some bad in this extrememly confusing album by T.I. His slow paced scruffy raps get irratating but once he's at it he's good.

    While not excessively deep, this album is a collection of clever rhymes and excellent high profile guests such as Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ludacris, and Rihanna. While much of the album focuses on "The King of the South", when he actually gets deeper, it's really something extraordinary.

    There is a sense of urgency and a new dimension of self-reflection not touched upon throughout the holding pattern that was "T.I. vs T.I.P."

    He's embodied literature's most popular archetype--the survivor--by transforming his woes into a reflective, enjoyable album.

    Paper Trail tops them both [previous two albums] simply by being content driven, from the plot to the refined delivery.
