T.I Speaks on 'Paperwork: The Motion Picture' Album

Is T.I trying to make another Paper Trail album? I think that was one of, if not his best selling album to date. His new album, which he is working on with Pharrell is going to be called Paperwork: The Motion Picture, and would probably before the end of the year. He said he and Pharrell already made 25 songs for the album, out of which are three intermissions. He plans to shoot the three intermissions as short movies that would connect the songs on the album. I guess he is trying to make a cohesive album.







In his recent interview on Hot 97, T.I spoke about his Paperwork album.

"Paperwork is official. If you've got paperwork on something, it's official. Also, if someone has paperwork on you, then it could be some trouble. So, it's official, it's trouble, it's authentic. Sounds like me. The music supports this theory very well. This is the first time in my career that I have had enough time to create all the music, get the sequencing down, even before I start my clock and put myself on the calendar. Now that I have all of the music...I could take my time and step back and make sure it's the perfect blend, to create the perfect amount of synergy between trap music and art house."

Well, what can I say? I wish him all the best, but I have my reservations about him working with Pharrell on all the songs off the album. Because Blurred Lines was a success doesn't mean a T.I album will be successful with Pharrell all over it. T.I's signature is trap music, with hard knocking beats; i don't think he can pull that off with Mr. Williams. I remember when Game tried to do the same thing in 2009/2010...it sure didn't work well, and Game had to go back to his roots. But, as T.I has said that the album is very creative, I would love to hear it; I just wish it doesn't turn out to be a bad career move for him.
