T.I is promoting his upcoming 9th album, Paperwork: The Motion Picture, which is set to drop before the end of the year. and because of this, he has been doing a lot of interview. While discussing on his upcoming album during his stop at New York's Hot 97 radio a couple of days ago, he spoke on his longevity in the rap game.
"Now this is my ninth project and for one, I just wanna thank everybody who’s been in support of me and even the people who been hating because you motivated me. I wanna thank you guys, man, cause I don’t know anybody or many people around right now who on they ninth album and still relevant. It’s not many…The world has never seen anything like me. Like you’ve never seen this before…In a career of longevity there are going to be points when you are on fire. You know what I’m saying? Top of the world. Nobody can touch you. This that and the other. Then they’re going to be points where you take a hit. In those points where you take a hit will you be able to recover, bounce back, and return to the flame? The flame has returned.”
True men! Very few people make it above the 5th album before falling off, or living rap completely. Hell, even Eminem doesn't have 9 album. It's few rappers like Snoop, Jay Z, and Nas that have made it to that 10th album mark, and still have some relevance in Hip Hop.
