This.

Posters are acting like T.I. is doing something extra with the promo, but his promo run is nothing different from what even an indy artist would do. A lot of these shows he's doing, the average consumer wouldn't even tune into especially since he catered an album to his day one fans.

I think at this point, TI could benefit of working with one producer for an entire album...someone thats gonna give him that creative spark again. I think Toomp or Just Blaze can only do that.

He needs Dro and Big Kuntry around him.

To keep it a buck, he's in the same situation 50 Is in. Still culturally revelant to a degree but musically not so much.

He's in a tricky spot career wise. His catalog and influence is official but how many diehard fans does he really have?

He needs to make a themed album like 444 or Life Is Good IMO as this album was good but really no different than his last few contentwise
