Every week, we round up the all-important, all-summarizing last sentences of the biggest new-music reviews. Today's entry is T.I.'s T.I. Vs. T.I.P., which comes out tomorrow:
- "By part 3, some much-needed conflict is introduced. There, T.I. confronts T.I.P., scolding him for jeopardizing their success with his recklessness. This climactic clash raises a big, gritty question: How long before his bad-boy routine gets them both killed? Hip-hop's seen its share of tragic endings. Hopefully, this time it's all just an act. B</em>" [EW]
- "To follow up with this big, rap-altering creation is overambitious, but "T.I. vs. T.I.P." succeeds -- accidentally, perhaps -- because the sound remains true to the albums that came before. It's 2005's "Urban Legend" with smoother edges, or "King" at a cool little night club instead of an arena." [Boston Globe]
- "The rapid-fire flow he has gradually adopted over the years is near flawless. The shame is, as his skills on the mike continue to improve, he has increasingly less to actually say." [Austin Chronicle]
- "It's like T.I.'s been speaking in code to us all along: What you know about that? You know what it is. You don't know me. But you know what? After spending hours with T.I. vs. T.I.P. chasm-like emptiness, I can't see why anyone would care." [Stylus]
