I saw this list on another site. Personally, I don’t have any problems understanding T.I. when he speaks. I love his accent. Besides that, he’s very articulate when he wants to be.
Anyway, in honor of T.I.’s sixth studio album Paper Trail, which drops tomorrow, someone decided to translate a list of words from T.I.’s songs.
According to pre-sales estimates: first week sales of Paper Trail will come close to — or beat Lil’ Wayne’s sales this year:

Am at = ‘I’m out’
