Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
T.I. has one of those voices where it's pleasure to hear him rap even if he's saying nothing at all, but is that really what you want?
-
Rolling Stone
Even in torment, he only rolls VIP.
-
SPIN
T.I. has finally settled into his post-empire era.
-
Slant Magazine
The one-time King of the South makes himself scarce on this anonymous and occasionally mawkish effort.
-
Los Angeles Times
The Atlanta rapper's first album since being released last year from federal prison following a probation violation, it surrounds a handful of his sharpest, most insightful songs with far less effective material — tracks that either vague out into club-rap utility or sag hopelessly under the weight of cornball sentiment.

Hip Hop DX
Heavy Is The Head that wears the crown, but T.I. seems to be up to the challenge.
-
Chicago Tribune
T.I.’s new album “Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head” addresses all of the rapper’s recent issues with the law and how it's changed his outlook on life.
-
Newsday
T.I. enters every situation with the same laid-back, nimble style, communicating throughout "Trouble Man" that his well-publicized troubles have taken their toll but haven't knocked him out.
-
Pop Matters
Trouble Man's not the album you'll be recommending to less devout followers of the T.I. saga the way you would have King or Trap Muzik, but it's easily the most satisfying to fans of those albums in a long time.
-
All Music

Rukus Magazine
Trouble Man is an excellent album that is sure to keep T.I. on top and maintain his current status as the King.
-
Pop Crush
T.I. is back in rare form and it won't be long before he reigns the hip-hop throne like he did a few years ago before his run-ins with the law.
-
XXL Magazine
In short, his new is as good as his old, supplying one of the finest major releases of 2012. The King is back.

Planet Ill
Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head is a good album but there is something subtle missing.
-
Consequence of Sound
Trouble Man only fails during its biggest, most pop-oriented moments.
-
All Hip Hop
Trouble Man is not an apology for past troubles or controversy, but rather the testimony of a man who revels in it and has accepted the consequences that come along with it, for better or worst.
-
The Musical Hype
After an underwhelming seventh studio album, T.I. redeems himself on his eighth album, ‘Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head.’

Lex Go
A 16-track rap album without a single cringe moment deserves an honor.
