''More & More'' blending into ''Pray for Me''

Explain how this is a flop. Where did he or his label say this was going to be monster success? Where are the hit songs pre-release?

T.I. hasn't dropped a proper album since 2014. His last project was a combination of two EP's which did similar numbers as this. He dropped Da Nic, which was an EP. His last album did 80K the first week back in 2014. What has T.I. done since that would rake in those kind of numbers and that album had two big hits. T.I. hasn't been a commercial juggernaut in a decade. He was selling over 500K the first week with Paper Trail. The last album of his that sold 500K total was 2012's Trouble Man.

It’s a flop cause it’s a major release with a budget and he is not going to recoup the label spent money on this project

How do you know what his budget was?

He had this album before he signed the deal.

It's very difficult for a rapper to remain relevant for 10 albums over 17 years. I mean it is what it is.

Very true.

Wayne is an anomaly.

People can't always compare.

Wheres the lie? This can be proven all through music history.

Mariah Carey was going diamond in the 90’s but can barely scan wood now.

When was the last time cube or snoop went platinum or gold?

Rap is definitely harder on its veterans..

pop r&b lane is a little bit more forgiving if you strike with the right record..

It's crazy that sade has the career she has when she is barely in the spotlight

This shyt hard

Gave this another listen and I like it a lot more. He’s spitting on this shyt. It kinda tapers off at the end but overall this is a good project from him. The first four tracks are extra hard.

More & More.
These nikkas hopped in a time machine and went back to the early 2000's for that one.
