Speaking with XXL, Tip spoke on how his new album (titled Paperwork: The Motion Picture) was coming along:
T.I. has already been in the studio with the likes of Jeezy and Busta Rhymes. To keep the legacy of the late Doe B alive, he says they have several records together, but whether they’ll appear on his album is still undecided. In the meantime, Tip is particularly excited about reuniting once again with Justin Timberlake. “DJ Toomp did a record. Actually, it’s a Justin Timberlake collaboration called “Trap Me Up,” he says. “It’s an awesome record JT blessed me with.”
He adds about his sessions with Pharrell: “Also, me and Pharrell have a plethora [of songs]. We probably done recorded 14 records. Pharrell and I alone. Words couldn’t even begin to describe how cutting-edge, left-field and just how broad these records are. But they still have that texture that I speak of. They still have that Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Womack, a ridin’ dirty kind of … but a new way to present it to the world because it has that thing that Pharrell does to music that sets it apart from any and everything else that’s being played. And of course I had to give it the pulse of what I know. It’s incredible work. I did incredible work with Keno. I did incredible work with Sham [“Sak Pase” Joseph]. I have B.o.B did a record for me. It’s awesome.”
