Rap-Up.com || T.I. Delays ‘King Uncaged’ Again

The King is not quite ready to leave his cage. Hours before hitting the stage at his “AXE One Night Only” concert, Tip revealed to Rap-Up TV that his new album King Uncaged won’t be dropping on September 28. Instead, he’s focusing on promoting his film Takers and plans to go back in the studio to record more material once the movie arrives in theaters.

“I pushed the album back so I can completely focus my attention to the rollout and release of this film Takers,” he said. “I feel it wouldn’t be fair to the film or the album if I was splitting my attention span amongst the two, so I hit pause on the album to completely focus my attention to rolling out this here film. And once we prayerfully debut No. 1—25-plus, 20-plus million—then after those bottles have been popped and that celebration [is] underway, I will completely resubmerge myself back into the music, fully on album mode.”

Tip has three to four more weeks worth of recording left to finish the album. He’s already done over 100 songs and has to narrow them down to 14 which will make the final cut.

Everybody delaying now. Well if what he’s put out so far hasn’t been doing so well then maybe it’s smart to go back and do more work.

everyone know the real reason why albums get push back. Just ask Kelly, 50cent, and Ciara. These celebs always come with some bullsh*t excuse. Just admit it. Im sure if Gat your back, ride, commander was #1 on the charts, then their albums would have a sure release date.

I’ve liked what I’ve heard so far for the most part but I kinda saw this coming especially since King Uncaged was supposed to drop on the same day as Jeezy’s new album. Nothin wrong with friendly competition but I think they got too much respect for one another to stifle each others album releases.

True that Magicmike and Tokyo you guys told the truth nothin else is remind to tell. I feelthe same way and it’s true that Tip need to concetrate his new movie Takers and he is doing it. he took the movie to #1 grossing over 30 millions for the first week. kinG Uncage better be worth to wait.

You guys ain’t got NO idea what it takes to promote a movie. shut the hell up. He’s delaying the album exactly cause of Takers, and cause he wants to take the time to follow up Paper Trail which is a hard fuckin’ thing to do. shit was the bomb. nothin’ to do with singles attention, apparently he got two party tracks among his 100, including one with Lady Gaga, he could drop any of them at any time if he wanted some airplay. If you support Tip, support him in these times. dude’s going all around the fuckin’ country probably.

I don’t understand y “yeah you know” did not get the attention it deserved. I love that song! very motivating!I think he is a good MC with actual content in his lyrics. Hate it or love, he has a heart that won’t accept defeat and he puts it in his music. If you don’t like top tip you don’t like hop hop.

T.I. is to me the best artist the game has ever seen so far. Despite of Lil Wayne and Jay-Z T.I. Is the best!!! WORD UP! But as far as the King Uncaged album not being released just yet. I have patience for a great artist like himself T.I. Y’all just wait T.I. is about to drop something hot!!!! In a meanwhile T.I.’s papertail album was the best so far and I can’t stop listening to it. I am and will always be a Great and Loyal fan of T.I.

I dnt believe PaperTrail was the best. Urban Legend was my fave & the #1 album is split btw Trap Musik or Urban Legend. PaperTrail was a bit commercial 4 me. I love the old TIP but i kno people grow up. Now dnt get me wrng, all his shyt jam. Im just a lil disappointed cuz a chik been waitin on the new album. Its gone be the shyt & all u flies get ready!!!!
