I skip JUST to hear that verse. I knew I wasn't the only one buggin...

DJ Toomp is the man...

^^^ Agree All Day

 

[extraordinary swag]

One of Just Blaze's hottest tracks "I'm talkin to you"

 

[air kalo]

Album is crack...

*Scrolls down to find KING on iPod*

 

[seymore cake]

Yes this album received a lot of unwarranted hate when it dropped but it is fire from front to back...

I'ma go ahead and state this and I know its outta the blue but %@!@ it I say it to myself everytime I hear it

"Kings Back" absolute #$+@+ on "The Rulers Back"

Everything about it from the intro, to the beat, to the flow, even the horns...

Negative...album is nice but there are a few skippabletracks...(Get It, Stand Up Guy, You Know Who...etc)

 

[we get money]

Both are official...I think lyrically King Back is hotter (Get your %*$ wiped out like Thailand) and the beat is more ferocious BUT

The Rulers Back might be the official confidence anthem...hopping out of the shower and getting fresh to TRB is unparalled

I gotta give it to Jay

[uptown roamer]

Word

Guess I'm in the minority but I still can't play the whole CD a second time after 1 listen
I can cherry pick different songs out but this lacks replay value bad
I remember when this came out tho it got alot of love on NT till 3 weeks later or so when everyone realized it had no replay value

 

[eagle 0n]

I've always liked KING

but

TI vs TIP on the other hand..

(although, the album does have its moments)

 

[rocyaice]

Looking back at this album i'm not sure if this isn't TIP's best album in his catalog. The majority rides with Trap Muzik as do I but as far asreplay value goes give me KING. I forgot how hot this album was until I seen this thread. His best produced album to date for sure. I still think dudes albumssound like soundtracks and go all over the place but King and Trap Muzik are the two that atleast try to be consistent.

This album could drop tomorrow and go platinum.

It's my favorite T.I. album and the second best in his catalog.

[jpioneer]

I love this album.. Best TIP album so far. I just hope he goes back to this type of +%@* like he said. I didn't like Paper Trail at all

Remembered it was a little older though.

 

[maddog345]

Man such a great album. Good Life =

 

[addict4sneakers]

Ride Wit Me never fails to get me bouncin in traffic

Goodlife is the only song I skip on the album. Its just cheesy. THe hook is anyway. I'm a Pharrell fan but I think I would've liked it better withouthim on the hook.

 

[jordanhead2]

My freshman year, my coach would bump this like not tomorrow.

 

[strongmind3]

so i guess im the only one who thought this thread was about some old school rapper...

3) Yeah, I said that.

4) Goodnight.

I don't remember Pac ever snitching on anybody
