The latter of 2007 was tough for T.I. Despite releasing a platinum album earlier that year, the Atlanta rapper was charged and found guilty on weapons possession. In March 2008, he was sentenced to a year in jail, ordered to pay a hefty fine, and perform a shit load of community service. In the meantime, T.I. used his freedom to sell over a million copies of his latest LP, Paper Trail and star in an MTV reality series, Road To Redemption. Before turning himself in two weeks from today, T.I.P. phoned in to RapRadar to discuss his final days, baby mama drama and ghostwriting for a certain doctor.
In '2004', YG demonstrates a rare combination of fluidity and commitment. His ability to glide across the beats with an impeccable flow does not compromise the depth of the content. Instead, each line is intense, captivating the listener. His music is a perfect balance of style and substance. This track is proof that YG is an artist capable of marrying technique and meaning with ease.
