"I guess people like the song -- I hope that's what accounts for it," T.I. told a website recently. "I think it's a new sound for me, something people aren't necessarily used to hearing. It's one of those risky records. It just happened to work in our favor."
"Whatever You Like" moved from 71-1 in its third week on the survey, giving the artist his first-ever chart-topper as a lead artist. The full album, "Paper Trail", is scheduled to be released Sept. 30th.
T.I. said, "I can't be overly optimistic. Sept. 30 is still on the way. I can't count numbers until they actually hit the paper, but I'm always optimistic when my albums are about to be released. I have very high expectations of myself, and very seldom do I meet them. But it's definitely off to a great start."

TI made a definite banger with this one. TI has been my favorite rapper since Trap Muzik and IMO the man already has three classic albums, hopefully Paper Trail can be his fourth.
Im heading out to go pick up that Recession in a couple of hours...Hopefully Jeezy put together a great one this time around...Thug Motivation 101 was one of my favorite albums ever.
ti's coming with some heat i just need to hear another 2 heavy bangers an im sold on this album im feelin all the videos he made (no matter what, what ever you like, whats up) some artist pick the shitiest songs to make a video out of coughcough g unit

STOP LEAKING DA ALBUM
ya he commin wit da heat but u need ta checc him wit kanye jay wayne on dat SWAGGA LIKE US tracc fasho
Yea shit is tight, Cant wait on that Paper Trail!!
T.I album gon be a banger.
I would never by the album to hear this song,
Budden only says that shit cuz he doesnt move units. I mean i like the dude, but lets be real, if he was going tripple platinum he would be "hate to break it to you numbers NEVER lie"
lol exactly
anyways Jeezy has a "female driven" track on his album with trey songz..but that shit ain't talkin bout cakin a female..it's about how I'm goin to get this bad ass broad, she feelin me and i'm about to "take it there" , to that next level..
AND CAN we respect my Nigga Trey Songz, He rep VA well and it's good to hear someone on a hook beside T-pain, Lil wayne and Akon..
I say that cuz dudes sellin albums to themselves; just cuz his single #1 on the charts doesn't mean it gonna be a classic album...
And I fucks wit T.I.P...
Na he got the police to do it....
Rofl....
LMAO
songs alright i mean i hated it at first jus like lollipop but unlike it it actually kind of grew on me but regardless paper trail isn't gonna b a classic dats not hatin dats da truth like i siad bout the carter three b4 it was released as long as whatever you like is on there i dont understand how u goin back to ur trap musik days but puttin out club tracks which means there will be atleast another simalair track on the album i say at best it will be 8/10
Trap Muzik had Let's Get Away
Urban Legend had Get Loose
King Had Why You Wanna & Hello
The fact that he had female drivin tracks on these albums didn't affect the fact that these albums are arguably classics. Your argument doesn't make since homie.
i c what u sayin look when i say classic i mean a real fuckin classic talkin bout illmatic bout all eyez on me shit like dat i mean don't get me wrong t.i's and good and great albums but they wasn't classics i'm tired of ppl throwin that word out like it means nuthin u got niggaz talkin bout LAX classic carter III classic no they r not granted LAX name droppin aside was a good album Carter III was below average i mean i'm jus sayin i'm comin from listenin to the best do it realistically no disrespect but biggie pac jay nas and em will shit on him he not even the nicest from the south he up there but compare any of his albums to II Trill (bun B) and ultimate victory (chamillionaire,arguably the most slept on album of last year) i mean whatever u like is more popish than all the others u named regardles tip congrats and keep doin yo thang
Its the KING bitch...
It seems TI is at the height of his career lately... Hard work.
Pre-Determined CLASSIC... 9/30/2008...PAPER TRAIL!
SO TRUE
Southern "Rap" is just garbage
Not Including Luda, Outkast, or Scarface thay can actually rhyme not talk
the song is ok more for the female tho
i dont fuck with the song, but keep making dat money tip
aint nothing wrong with being locked up and coming out to a plane full of girls that love yo track...
i think Paper Trail going to go platinum this song is just like weezy's lollipop top the charts and the album ended up going platinum so let's hope the same for T.I. get that money T.I.P
T.I. still doin his thing, a new sound dat paid off, das wussup...Learn it.
ReDef.
This shit bout 2 b a classic...jus like dat recession.
(King Mathers 4th Quarter)
lol u really think that CD is coming out?... shady aftermath is a mess right now
"I think it's a new sound for me, something people aren't necessarily used to hearing.
How is this sound not the same from his last albums & other songs you hear on the radio? (jingle songs with uncreative but catchy hooks.) but w/e, congrats to T.I.P.
it was made for the females....if yall guna hate then hate on wayne to lollipop was for the females.....and yall alrdy know dat shit works....from 71-to-1 and a mill in a week....i personally dont like that tactic but they want thee money....and females cant rilly listen to da shit we do they always wana dance and shit so i guess it makes sense.
Good for him, even though I'm not feeling that song a lot.
I no how Santana can get his chain back. Im from the UK. ill post my number to someone who can get me in contact with him, his manager or any source that will be able to confirm he gets his jewels back. Dipset, SKulL Gang. S.A.S.
If you broke you cant give a girl nothing...
Broke niggas hate... Thats why yall commenting how yall commenting...
People who low on doe don't hate; HATERS HATE!!! And simple niggaz say dumb shit..
gay fuking diving tony, everyone on here claims they've kicked it with someone in a club or that der cousins, boyfriends, little sisters, teachers, husband had a fight with DMX. so i wa shoppin someone could put them in contact with me, like hence the part where i post my digits so they can holler at me: witheld, private,annoymous number?
im a ti fan but i have to admit with some comments on here that song what he made wasnt all that to me.
Yo, you gotta come to your own conclusions about tracks. What you hear and what someone else hears is usually different. Don't let others sway your opinion. THINK for yourself man!
The song is HOT!!! real talk...even though its for the ladies im feelin it
this song is iight for a female song i can ride to it. paper trail bout to be a classic t.i. on top of his game rite now so go buy it just copped LAX n the recession hip hop makin strong comeback in 08 look out for theater of mind by luda
Man T.i. is my nigga, but i heard his whole album on thisis50, and that shit was trash, aint no gangsta shit or real hip hop shit, just music for the ladies, and that nigga fuck it all up when he started to sing in all of his songs,sorry to say but Paper Trail is a flop, but not a bigger flop then the LAX
I gotta show T.I. the respect he deserves here. I mean it takes a lot of courage to put something like "Whatever you like" out. Especially when he puts together an image of him being the king of the south and so on. As for the song, I see nothing wrong with it. The clubs need something to bounce to and why not bump some T.I. while doing it.
What is there 2 hate on here? Song is doing exactly what is suppose 2 do.
the fact is most people think that EVERY song someone does HAS to be just a downright gangsta ass song.. niggas scared to treat females koo.. dey think dey gota degrade em all da time... dis song is koo
TIP is a great artist, looking forward to Paper Trail, like what im hearin so far. Didnt like TI vs. TIP even tho TIP is one of my all time favorites.
T.I. IS An Ok Artist, I Say That Kuz He Not As Hungry As He Was Now..He Rich He Pulled A Hov On Us...But Im Not Feelin That Song Just Bekuz Its Directed At The Females...Niggas Also Drop The Most Commerical...Lolli Pop...Love Songs For They First Single To They Albums...The First Single Really Determines How The Album Sells...
Best TI Joint "Still Ain't Forgave Myself"

I'm respecting TI because regardless of the gun charges and everybody hating he's still dropping hitz and hot videos so I can't knock da man for that he's definitely tryna do his thing.......now this is the album that will determine whether TI is hot or is he not! Because all the rest of the albums have been the same ol same but when u have the ability to switch it up and actually make it work that's when you really respected in the Hip Hop Game! Now on to other news...................TI you's a swagger jacker cuz u stole that song "Whateva U Like" from somebody so I will not respect you for that and until that person speaks up for there song I can't say much! The song wasnt copy written and that's y TIP got a hit!
thats hella funny how wayne drop lollipop and yall say its gay but tip drop the SAME exact song SAME producer SAME melody SAME concept SAME singing through the whole song and its ok........ but regardless of all that big up 2 him cuz i play tht shit just like i did lollipop... im fa sho gettin paper trail especially if he spittin like s.l.u. through the whole album
TIP just tryin 2 sell a milli 2 thats y he bitin
guess thats what happens when you buy alot of guns and pull a publicity stunt
TIP..IS THE REAL "HEIR" TO HOV'S THRONE!!!..NO DIRESPECT TO WAYNE BUT..HE DA DOWN SOUTH JAY-Z..NIGGAS REALLY CANT SEE HIM!!..WHO HAD THE BEST VERSE ON SWAGGER LIKE US???!!...ANYBODY THAT THINK IM CAPPING GET AT ME!!..DA KING HAS ARRIVED....
"Whateva u like" really isnt my type of track but it still bangs in the truck.
He definitely has 3 classiks...IMO of course.
Jeezy's "recession" was copped yesterday by me but...
It's 3rd in my cd player behind:
1.Young Chris's mixtape CAMPAIGN FOR CHANGE(shit's hott!)
2.Oschino's mixtape...(philly's doin' it 4 me!)
3. Jeezy's 1st cd...Shit's really a banger! Beat after beat...damn! But it gives me a bad case of road rage!!! Lol.
I decided to NOT cop Game's cd after listening to it.
I'll wait to next week. Not copping something during anyone's first week if the cd doesnt instantly do it for me...PERIOD!
Plus I dont wanna hear anyone else brag about selling a million cd's the first week...epsecially if the cd was garbage!
Not saying Game's was garbage.... but it's not better than his 2nd one IMO of course... so it can wait...
I will be picking up Bun B's... Can't believe I havent already... and TI's...
~Be Eazy!
this song is gud. it's for 4 da females but nigga wants pussy. wut nigga dont want dat shyt. wayne did it wit lollipop. n if playin lollipop and wateva u like at da club helps me get pussy 4 dat nite, den im all in. dats why i cops pretty ricky 2. bet no 1 was bitchin when 50 made candy shop & amusement park or jay-z made girls, girls, girls. hell even nas made you owe me & ochie willy. so jus don't hate on da hustle like ur favorite rapper ain't doin it, cuz he is. ja rule was famous 4 it for a while til 50 ate him up, now look he is doin da same thang not jus him eitha. wit g-unit 2 wit kitty kat. now think about dat
dog he dont have no classic albums...some of u niggas is crazy!!! haha i think out of all 3 2 were HOOOTTTT and KING was ok-wack....swagga like us is betta than this bitch ass song. yall niggas need a reality check real quick....
all little stupid gals fall in luv wit this new single im sure of dat! lets hear sum of tha real shit, gangsta shit.
lol the reason TI dont make real nigga shit is cause real niggas dont buy it lol. Album sales for fucking hip hop have been horrible lately so u got to have a hit single for the females. But im not a big TI fan put he makes some really good songs and picks the right tracks.
He tried sumthin different, Not feelin' it, but I aint mad. He's just bout his paper trail.
Get cha money main!
t.i is the best rapper alive watch out lil wayne
this is the gayest song ive heard in a while it just proves my point that rappers dont want to rap anymore damn this shit is so gay!!
