As more tapes became available, they began to be collected and traded by fans. Hip hop mixtapes first appeared in the mid-1970s in New York City, featuring artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa. In the current state of music, with playlists and streaming services, the good songs will get the attention that they deserve, and everyone can forget about the dumpster fire formerly known as Dime Trap.In hip hop's earliest days, the music only existed in live form, and the music was spread via tapes of parties and shows. Thankfully for hip-hop fans and T.I., we are living in 2018. The album is extremely underwhelming and tremendously long. should have saved his time, money, and reputation when recording Dime Trap. Following these songs are six completely forgettable tracks that I don’t even feel the need to discuss. This song exudes energy and I wish the rest of the album could present the same intensity. It’s an up-tempo song featuring Meek Mill and a fantastic Mariachi horn section. “Jefe” is the third song in a row that I enjoyed before the rest of Dime Trap sent me into another wave of pure disappointment. delivers a great chorus, finishing each statement with “What can I say?” This is one of the only songs from the album where I caught myself actually bobbing my head and getting into it. “What Can I Say” is a catchy, no-nonsense track that features a drunken synth riff, rumbling bass, and a simple hi hat. Even though they’re upset about apparent gold-digging, each artist apologizes and wants to be with the significant other. singing about significant others taking advantage of their fame and money for personal gain. The track features R&B style production and. actually delivers three tracks in a row that are genuinely enjoyable. To make matters worse, he delivers a cringeworthy outro about the evolution of trap music, a “dopeboy’s philosophy” and “diversified vibes.”īefore beginning a long string of underwhelming tracks to close out the album, T.I. This is T.I.’s attempt at pop-rap, and he failed miserably. The song features boring “summer-vibes” production from Swizz and Young Thug’s less-than-stellar guest verse and hook. I saw that Young Thug and Swizz Beats were featured, so naturally I figured that I would enjoy it. “The Weekend” was actually the first song that I listened to when I found Dime Trap. Lyrics include, “I just wanna ball in the wraith, with your broad in the way” and “I’m a dope boy legend, street boy reppin’.” The most disappointing track on the album follows up. participating in a stereotypical trap song: nice cars, women, drugs, and guns. Then, “Wraith” comes up and showcases Yo Gotti and T.I. “Big Ol Drip” follows up and is slightly less forgettable, if only for WATCH THE DUCK’s contribution to the track. On the bright side, at least we know that T.I. This track would be extremely forgettable if I wasn’t subjected to it every single time that I play Madden. “Laugh At Em” is the second track of the album and lets you know nice and early that the filler tracks are here and in great abundance. This track actually gave me a little bit of hope for this album. The song features Sam Hook on the chorus, and I was very impressed by his vocals. will be attempting to return to his roots and get away from the mainstream success that he experienced with Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”. This intro does a great job of letting the listener know that T.I. “Seasons” kicks off the album with an eerie organ piece and Dave Chapelle’s spoken word regarding survival and being great. Paak, Meek Mill, Jeezy, Yo Gotti, and Young Thug on this album than T.I.’s contributions. I was far more intrigued by the work of Anderson. However, the album’s featured artists are a highlight for this album. For me, there were ZERO memorable bars from the album, even though I was actively searching for something that would allow me to praise T.I. I forced myself to listen to this album from front to back four separate times, and let me tell you, I was drained of all energy after every listen through. shows no resemblance of the excellence from his youth. Unfortunately for everyone, those songs are now ten years old and T.I.

Also, I’ve never met anyone that did not like “Live Your Life”, “Whatever You Like”, or “Swagga Like Us” from Paper Trail.
#Yo gotti 2 up madden full
The album is full of filler, garbage material that only hurts T.I.’s legacy as the “inventor of trap music.” I will say, I have never been an avid fan of T.I., but I recognized his talent and influence on rap culture. It is exactly one hour long, but listeners could just as easily perceive it to be two hours long.
