This is a real album and it has been cited. I've read numerous articles on the rapper and his upcoming cd.
T.I. said that "No Matter What" is not an offical single. I don't get why people keep putting it as a single. It's just a leaked track. SE KinG ( talk) 01:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Could you please give a source where T.I. says it is not an official single. If you don't, people will just keep adding it as a single. I doubt it was an official single, but it needs a source that it was not. I mean it was released to Radio and it was released digitally. It even had a music video. All i am saying is you should have a source where T.I. says that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PSIHEARTTORI ( talk • contribs) 00:54, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I removed several songs from the confirmed tracks section that did not meet our policy for verifiability or WP:RS. Here is a breakdown of the what I have removed:
Title | Reason |
---|---|
"Be Free" | The only citation for these come from WordPress, a blog host, which therefore fails WP:RS. |
"Hustla's Struggle" | |
"Limelight (Intro)" | |
"On My Job" | |
"The Block Still Got Me" | |
"Out in the Cold" | No citation whatsoever. Fails the basic concept of confirmed in "confirmed tracks". |
"What Up, What's Happenin'" | All this link tells me is that there is a song called "What Up" by T.I. and is not on any of his albums (ALBUM: N/A). Now, with this link, to come to the conclusion that a song called "What Up, What's Happenin'" will be on this album is pure original research. |
I'm not implying that these songs will not be on the upcoming album, but until they are not confirmed by reliable, verifiable sources, we should not mention them on the article. Thanks, Do U(knome)? yes...| or no 21:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm just gonna throw this out there, A Better Day was a song that was leaked in late June, rumored to be on Paper Trail, but no official source has stated it.
http://nahright.com/news/2008/06/22/ti-a-better-day/
Also "Out in the Cold" was confirmed by MTV.
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1590835/20080714/fall_out_boy.jhtml
But however it was stated as "under consideration". So I do not believe it should be under confirmed tracks.
I agree with most of your thoughts except "What Up, What's Happenin'", an unofficial music video has been made (unknown if it will be a single). Kind of what Plies did for some of his tracks on Definition of Real. But thats just my thoughts. SE KinG ( talk) 01:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Word! ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 14:33, 26 August 2008 (UTC))
A new song, 'You Ain't Ready' was leaked a few days ago, and is produced by The Runners, does anyone know anything about it? I havn't read anything about it being a track from Paper Trail. ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 20:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC))
Yeah, okay smart arse, you got an answer though? If not then keep the smart shit to yourself! You will have Herlems finest on your door step! Haha! ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 21:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC))
Aye Man! I was just asking a question! All i wanted was an answer not a smart response! And another thing, i didn't make any edits and wasn't suggesting that the song should be put on the track list, i was ASKING if anyone knew anything about it, so i can safely answer my own question now: No, no one does know anything about the song. Sheesh!! ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 14:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC))
Sometimes I get frustrated with wiki editors. I found it amusing browsing through some music pages and seeing things people wanted cited. If you need citing of a song being a remake or using a sample.... why don't you go and listen to both songs... with humans the biggest proof is seeing or hearing something for yourself.. why not try that out? It might clear up a lot of the mysteries of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Empororllid ( talk • contribs) 01:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I think it should be reverted, because as Carter 3 it was proved to be a fake (the tracklisting) on Amazon. Any ideas?
-- Piazzajordan2 ( Talk.) 20:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
-- Ba11innnn ( talk) 20:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
That tracklisting has to be fake...any one can sign onto amazon and create a tracklisting...T.I. himself has not even confirmed the tracklisting or released it on his myspace or on his website...i think the tracklisitng should be reverted back to confirmed tracks until other sources confirm the tracklisting, i may be wrong but just seems like the logig thing to do. 122.110.177.60 ( talk) 23:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I would be VERY Surprised if this is the tracklist, I mean, the one track Tip said was going to be on it before any tracks were confirmed, was "let My Beat Pound", but this isn't on the tracklist on amazon. If this is the "Official" tracklist, then I am pleased to notice that The Runners have a produced Track on it, regardless of it being an Into lol. ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 13:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC))
It keeps getting vandalized.
-- Piazzajordan2 ( Talk.) 18:35, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
1 line from a song does NOT count as a sample. That means that basically ANY line in any song can be considered a sample, which is incorrect. For example, "Take you wherever you like" is a line in "Whatever You Like", but i have heard that in all sorts of other songs, but thats not counted as a sample. it's NOT A SAMPLE! It's just words being used again!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by DipSetGeezer ( talk • contribs) 10:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Like I Do - Produced by Jazze Pha
Live Your Life - Produced by Just Blaze
My Life, Your Entertainment - Produced by Drumma Boy
What Up, What's Haapnin' - Produced by Drumma Boy
Listen to the tracks, in "Like I Do" you can hear Jazze Pha in the beginning, that's his production tag. "Live Your Life" T.I. SAYS "Just we did it again homie." "My Life, Your Entertainment" has the same intro that is on every Drumma Boy songs. Same thing with "What Up, What's Haapnin'".
"I'm Illin'" I really don't care who produces it. So ya'll can keep having an edit war about that. SE KinG ( talk) 03:34, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Someone has deleted some of the song's and messed up the info, What Up, What's Happenin is stated as a producer and not an album single. The change need's to be reverted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.96.85.6 ( talk) 20:03, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Look above at the title above the album art, it say's Paper Trail is not GAY. Can someone please revert that change and tell the user who is vandalising simply NOT TO VANDALISE!!! The change need's to be reverted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.96.85.6 ( talk) 20:03, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Why did they take off some of the other songs, such as "Swagger Like Us." There were sources stating it was being released on Paper Trail. Just because Walmart put out a list i don't think it makes it more reliable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.98.221 ( talk) 16:36, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Not only did Wal-Mart post that tracklist, but BestBuy and CDUniverse also did. It's looks pretty official. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.128.3 ( talk) 17:41, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

The official version of the song that is available on iTunes only is produced by Two Band Geeks for Grand Hustle. The version by The Runners is the one that appears on the Grand Hustle mixtape.

Does the cover (Image:T.I. Paper Trial Final Cover.jpg) not load for anyone else? It loads fine in the article but in the bigger version it wont show up at all. Matty ( talk) 22:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Users continually add the audio samples for " No Matter What" and " Whatever You Like" into this article. Is it really appropriate to have both here rather than just on the articles of the songs? DiverseMentality (Boo!) 18:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
The first sentence reads, "On November 13, 2007, in an official statement about the charges against him, T.I. also announced that he had been working on a new album, to be entitled Paper Trail." OK, but then there is no explanation to what "the charges" are/were. There is no mention of "the charges" earlier in the article either. Can't assume that the casual reader is going to just know this information or be up-to-date on T.I.'s personal issues. This needs to be expanded or removed. - eo ( talk) 20:30, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm thinking this is the next single. I heard it today on B96 (Chicago radio station) on my way to work. I'm not saying "hearing it" is a relable source, but I'm just gonna throw out the idea. Scroll down to #20 on Top 20 Countdown. SE KinG. User page. Talk. 06:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm beginning to question the reliability of HipHopDX about the re-release of the album. Almost a week later, no other websites have confirmed it, nor even mentioned the possibility of a re-release. Diverse Mentality 00:28, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Those sources talk about his upcoming album after he gets released from prison. Diverse Mentality 03:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
I've reverted the undiscussed change to the track listing table for a few reasons. First off, as I mentioned, it was completely undiscussed. Second, there was no reason to change it; the table was fine as it was and the change removed the inline citations of the samples used in the songs. Third, the 'Additional credits' section seemed completely redundant; there's already a 'Personnel' section where this is listed. If you disagree with my revert, please discuss it here first before making changes. Thank you. Diverse Mentality 01:28, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to include the sales numbers and position on the charts for the first eight weeks? StanHater ( talk) 00:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
The EP information clearly states that it was released in the U.K. (from the article's current edit). That means the release should have its own page. Sure, the project originally was MEANT to be an expansion project, which would have led to its being included on this page for sure, but it was a separate release in August 2009 in the U.K.
So...why in blazes is it merged here? If it never came out in the U.K., it makes sense, but if it did, give it back its own page already! CycloneGU ( talk) 01:02, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

It was previewed at the PAPER TRAIL listening party last week. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KyleEshna ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Now that a reliable source like MTV has confirmed it, it can be put on the page. I was just saying my comment above because no one would post a reference with the song. SE KinG ( talk) 03:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

A new song, 'You Ain't Ready' was leaked a few days ago, and is produced by The Runners, does anyone know anything about it? I havn't read anything about it being a track from Paper Trail. ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 20:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC))
Yeah, okay smart arse, you got an answer though? If not then keep the smart shit to yourself! You will have Herlems finest on your door step! Haha! ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 21:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC))
Aye Man! I was just asking a question! All i wanted was an answer not a smart response! And another thing, i didn't make any edits and wasn't suggesting that the song should be put on the track list, i was ASKING if anyone knew anything about it, so i can safely answer my own question now: No, no one does know anything about the song. Sheesh!! ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 14:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC))
Sometimes I get frustrated with wiki editors. I found it amusing browsing through some music pages and seeing things people wanted cited. If you need citing of a song being a remake or using a sample.... why don't you go and listen to both songs... with humans the biggest proof is seeing or hearing something for yourself.. why not try that out? It might clear up a lot of the mysteries of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Empororllid ( talk • contribs) 01:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I think it should be reverted, because as Carter 3 it was proved to be a fake (the tracklisting) on Amazon. Any ideas?

That tracklisting has to be fake...any one can sign onto amazon and create a tracklisting...T.I. himself has not even confirmed the tracklisting or released it on his myspace or on his website...i think the tracklisitng should be reverted back to confirmed tracks until other sources confirm the tracklisting, i may be wrong but just seems like the logig thing to do. 122.110.177.60 ( talk) 23:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I would be VERY Surprised if this is the tracklist, I mean, the one track Tip said was going to be on it before any tracks were confirmed, was "let My Beat Pound", but this isn't on the tracklist on amazon. If this is the "Official" tracklist, then I am pleased to notice that The Runners have a produced Track on it, regardless of it being an Into lol. ( DipSetGeezer ( talk) 13:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC))
It keeps getting vandalized.
-- Piazzajordan2 ( Talk.) 18:35, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
1 line from a song does NOT count as a sample. That means that basically ANY line in any song can be considered a sample, which is incorrect. For example, "Take you wherever you like" is a line in "Whatever You Like", but i have heard that in all sorts of other songs, but thats not counted as a sample. it's NOT A SAMPLE! It's just words being used again!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by DipSetGeezer ( talk • contribs) 10:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Like I Do - Produced by Jazze Pha
Live Your Life - Produced by Just Blaze
My Life, Your Entertainment - Produced by Drumma Boy
What Up, What's Haapnin' - Produced by Drumma Boy
Listen to the tracks, in "Like I Do" you can hear Jazze Pha in the beginning, that's his production tag. "Live Your Life" T.I. SAYS "Just we did it again homie." "My Life, Your Entertainment" has the same intro that is on every Drumma Boy songs. Same thing with "What Up, What's Haapnin'".
"I'm Illin'" I really don't care who produces it. So ya'll can keep having an edit war about that. SE KinG ( talk) 03:34, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Someone has deleted some of the song's and messed up the info, What Up, What's Happenin is stated as a producer and not an album single. The change need's to be reverted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.96.85.6 ( talk) 20:03, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Why did they take off some of the other songs, such as "Swagger Like Us." There were sources stating it was being released on Paper Trail. Just because Walmart put out a list i don't think it makes it more reliable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.98.221 ( talk) 16:36, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

The official version of the song that is available on iTunes only is produced by Two Band Geeks for Grand Hustle. The version by The Runners is the one that appears on the Grand Hustle mixtape.

Does the cover (Image:T.I. Paper Trial Final Cover.jpg) not load for anyone else? It loads fine in the article but in the bigger version it wont show up at all. Matty ( talk) 22:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Users continually add the audio samples for " No Matter What" and " Whatever You Like" into this article. Is it really appropriate to have both here rather than just on the articles of the songs? DiverseMentality (Boo!) 18:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
The first sentence reads, "On November 13, 2007, in an official statement about the charges against him, T.I. also announced that he had been working on a new album, to be entitled Paper Trail." OK, but then there is no explanation to what "the charges" are/were. There is no mention of "the charges" earlier in the article either. Can't assume that the casual reader is going to just know this information or be up-to-date on T.I.'s personal issues. This needs to be expanded or removed. - eo ( talk) 20:30, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm thinking this is the next single. I heard it today on B96 (Chicago radio station) on my way to work. I'm not saying "hearing it" is a relable source, but I'm just gonna throw out the idea. Scroll down to #20 on Top 20 Countdown. SE KinG. User page. Talk. 06:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I've reverted the undiscussed change to the track listing table for a few reasons. First off, as I mentioned, it was completely undiscussed. Second, there was no reason to change it; the table was fine as it was and the change removed the inline citations of the samples used in the songs. Third, the 'Additional credits' section seemed completely redundant; there's already a 'Personnel' section where this is listed. If you disagree with my revert, please discuss it here first before making changes. Thank you. Diverse Mentality 01:28, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to include the sales numbers and position on the charts for the first eight weeks? StanHater ( talk) 00:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
The EP information clearly states that it was released in the U.K. (from the article's current edit). That means the release should have its own page. Sure, the project originally was MEANT to be an expansion project, which would have led to its being included on this page for sure, but it was a separate release in August 2009 in the U.K.
So...why in blazes is it merged here? If it never came out in the U.K., it makes sense, but if it did, give it back its own page already! CycloneGU ( talk) 01:02, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
