The message that Atlanta rapper T.I. wants all his listeners to hear is I`M SERIOUS. Although he starts out the album with an intro alluding to his prowess as a pimp, dealer, and hustler, the album`s first song finds the southern hip-hop hard case going to great pains to illuminate the life experiences that led to his current position, ultimately observing "what I am today I made myself" before delivering the killer blow that is the song`s title, "still ain`t forgave myself." Its a rare rapper who`s willing to take that much personal responsibility for his role in society. Even though most of the other cuts on I`M SERIOUS find him reveling in that role, T.I. possesses the narrative skill, dramatic overview, and low-key delivery that allow his gangsta boasts to go down easily.
