TI; Paper Trail: The Forumla for Swag

So my buddies site lets you hear all these new records right? ( i can't tell you his name or I could get sued)

and im not gona lie most of them were laaaaaaaaaaaame?... ( Leona Lewis's album)?.. you are so G*Y bro...

(actually.... im going to have to hear that one through my headphones; when no ones around.... on a desert island... in a cave....)..

KEEEEEEEEEEP BLEEDING KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDING!!

...

u think they have Wifi on deserted islands?


Anyways.. so wassup w/ this TI record? (OMG imma tell you just hold on!!.. gawd.. always impatient.. lets get to know each other a little bit first... how are you?... me?. im good thanks for asking.. just a bit bored at work today.. so i thought i'd you know.. get online and ju-. wha?.. ok-OKay FINE yeah... nah whatever YOU DONT WANT TO TALK FINE!!. hers your " PRECIOUS REVVEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIWWWWWW")

ahem.... sorry..

anyways.... I tell you man.. this record is the HEAT SON!!.. its hard!!

and i KNOW what your thinking.. TI is 95lbs and 5'nothing... TRUE.. which means he has to work EVEN harder to earn your respect.. which he does in like the first 2 minutes of his firt song by saying..

" your swag owes MY swag an applogy"

and " my swag will be suing your swag in a court of law".. err.. something like that..

eitherway.. his delivery; thick southern drawl, and Confidence is DOPE..

its wierd.. sometimes when ppl reach a certain level of fame... and sucess.. and ppl are waiting with bated breathe for their next creative endovour.. the creator or "artist" stumbles and puts out crap.. i mean.. i dont REALLY know how Nellys record did.. but i've heard not well.

and i KNOW 50s record is having some problems..
and I have my theories of how that Harry Potter Author is going to follow up her whole "Hogwart" thing..
but TI comes out of the GATE guns BLAZING.... Its like he doesn't miss a beat; doesn't recognize his own sucess; and doesn't care about the PRESSURES i KNOW his label is putting on him....

If your not a very confident person.. pick up this ablum.. and jus tlisten to it 3 times though.. if your not cursing out the lady at your Local Arbys.... for not giving your extra curly fries..you must have bought the wrong album.. (... or just not have ordered curly fries)

Also when your a small framed, southern rapper; you have a MUCH lower chance of being takin seriously, and ability to suceeed then lets say a well built 6' double quarter named up NORTH rapper? but I think his "under dog" status works for him.. he uses it to his advantage.. and carries some fire that NO 6 album releasing rapper I've ever heard has... (awww man.. TI looks like a total DORK next to 50!)

when he TALKS at the end of his songs.. he's so F*cking clever/ hilarious/ confident.. i guess THATS is the formula of swag isn't it?

Swag = (Clever+Confidence+Comedy)/Legitmate urban delivery?

HMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm....
(NOW THATS Swagger.. baby.. except for those pink shoes those are g*y... WAIT A MINTUE!!)

anyways.. its a GREAT record.. solid beats, GREAT delivery; definate swagga..

I mean.. lyrically he's on point.. they're more like just clever rhymes like.. " arguin" rhymes with " what car you in"

like rhyming is clever.. there is no play on words or anything like that..

but for the record like ; some of his songs are pretty powerful... NOT on 2 pac level.. but its just cool that he SOMEONE can still take it there..

with all these rappers trying to sing, explore musical talents, act, and sort of branch out into clothing lines and big buseinss( im not sayin TI isn't one of them).. but its just good to hear some Hip Hop thats inspired by some early 90s Gangsta mentality

ya DEAAAAAAAAAAAAG?
