T.I. - I'm Back
Artist: T.I.
Producer: The Trackslayerz
Album: Untitled Forthcoming Album
Label: Hustle Gang/EMPIRE
The lord giveth, and the lord taketh away. On the same day that Lil Wayne finally heads off to jail for an eight month bid, the long-imprisoned and still King of the South T.I. has decided to begin his comeback tour with his aptly named new single I’m Back. If you were wondering if prison would change T.I.’s sound, it hasn’t; I’m Back sounds like it could have come off King, right down to the triumphantly epic, trap music beat from The Trackslayerz (although T.I. has played down the more overt gun talk). In the end though, as always, I’m Back is T.I.’s show, as he immediately sets out to remind any challengers that may have sprung up during his absence who still rules the South: “No matter what they doin they don’t do it like me.” Ain’t that the truth. I’m Back is off T.I.’s still untitled new album (due out this August), meaning that for now you’ll just have to be patient and enjoy some new music from Clifford Harris. It’s been far too long.
This song first appeared on the
Top Hip Hop / R&B Chart

i heard his cd is titled return of the king...i bet...this should have been a bigger record, no t.i. is not back with this but i notice he releases a street song then a pop song...but i don't like this i wish he would go back to his ASAP days...

It's about time.. Epic beat and T.I. (as always) does not disappoint. Solid comeback record. 3.5 butI'll round up because I'm so thrilled he's back.

Exactly what we needed...Shows he's toned down the more violent stuff, but still has that disgust towards the lames-so both sections of his fanbase are happy!

Like Drake's new song, this sounds more like a street single then a radio single. T.I.'s rhymes are sick, though I thought the production was lacking. This wont be a hit (though it will probably debut high on the charts), though its still a good track.

Great to hear from Tip again! This track had crazy energy and a bangin beat. I'm only giving it a 3 because I think it sounded too much like his other street singles. Still very glad to see T.I. back and ready to blow again.

This is cool, same quality that TI has always had, but its not really one that would stand-out on his album. Good to hear from TI, but i wanna hear some straight crazy sh!t like when tupac got out.

I wasn't expecting to hear such an aggressive sound from T.I. after his release (I thought he would go down the "reformed wrongdoer" route), but either way it's good to have him back. I can't believe that was already a year - he really did a good job of maintaining his momentum.

yo yo... 1st thing 1st. this track gets -1 stars for the title. im so sick of hearin entertainers and athletes say this ova and ova again. "im back" is as annoying as the whole "swag" thing. as for the song, its a strong comeback song in the sense that it will make noise cuz the energy and power T.I. brings on it. but, overall, the song is far from T.I.'s best. im glad hes back too.

this wasnt classic tip but it still was better than a lot of stuff out there at the moment. i agree with matthew kyle- i thought we also wouldve gone down the "reformed wrong-doer path" but with this certain street song he is proving that he isnt wasting any time getting back to the top. im thinking this is just a precursor to what will hopefully be a great album

T.I.P. is back man. I did not think it would be so quick for him to get back on the mic. But if he keep spitting like this it is a pleasant suprise to me. When T.I. dropped Paper Trail I liked it but it was real commercial. I did not want to lose the street T.I. Well he showed that side is full in effect.

I thought coming out of jail he would do something different but I guess he's going to basics with the usual subject matter. On that note, T.I. never blew me away with his lyricism, but he does get "trap muzik" thing going well. That said, I've heard better (but this is as good as it gets for T.I.)
