No Mercy 2010 Album

T.I.

Like every T.I. album there is some good stuff present, but there is also still too much filler. As usual Kid Cudi is a bore, so the best portion of the album for me is afterwards from 'How Life Changed' to 'Big Picture' - with the Eminem featured 'That’s All She Wrote' being my pick from the disc and much better than the pairs duet on T.I. vs T.I.P. If I remove the bonus tracks or not the second half of the album really fails to excel. 'Castle Walls' is interesting where T.I. continues the minor theme of the album about being rich not being as great as people think it is - but if that is the case then stop rapping about it. Other than that some of the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition ain't bad, and you may have heard a couple before if you checked out T.I.'s Fuck a Mixtape. Although it has been a while since his last album, possibly the personal trouble T.I. is going through meant a slightly poorer album than he could have otherwise produced. Remove 'That’s All She Wrote' and while there are quite a few good tracks on offer there isn't a whole lot to go back to. Best Tracks: How Life Changed, Get Back Up, That’s All She Wrote, No Mercy
