History
T.I. explained the album’s title, saying, "It’s basically a battle within myself, there’s not nobody out there doing what I do as well as I do it, so I see myself as worthy competition for myself." [1]
"I'm not just making an album, I'm making an opera here," he chuckled. With such a high concept, he says that he's making sure to take extra time and critique every song to be sure he doesn't lose anyone." [This quote needs a citation]
"It'd be easy for me to go over people's heads," he rationalized. "Sometime people might see me act a certain way one time and another way one another time. They might not believe the same cat you see dressed so sharp and winning awards and speaking eloquently is the same cat you see fist-fighting with hoodlums outside a nightclub. This album will be an explanation of all of this." [This quote needs a citation]
Guests include Alfa Mega, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Eminem, and Nelly.
T.I. mentioned working with André 3000, Justin Timberlake, Ciara, Akon, R. Kelly, Young Jeezy, and Lil Wayne as well, however they did not make the final cut. [2]
T.I. revealed that the album will not be a double album. [2]
There are also two bonus tracks available via iTunes, "No Sweat," featuring Big Kuntry King and JR, also "You Ain't Fly," a pre-order exclusive.
The album, even though already being leaked to the internet in its entirety, can be listened to up until the albums release courtesy of MTV's The Leak.[3]
