On the heels of his new album Paperwork, T.I. recently revealed his plan to release a "gangster version" of Kanye West's 808's & Heartbreak.  

During an interview with Life + Times, T.I. explained that Paperwork will serve as the first of three projects for his series, which will include a revamped version of the West classic. 

"It's the journey of, but it's also bigger than him," he said while speaking on Paperwork. "It's like a motherf--ker was almost born into it. It's certain applications of skill and certain manifestations that must take place for it to really come into fruition, but the tools or the foundation was already put out there by his daddy, his granddaddy, his uncles, his momma, etc. It was ordained. That's the theme of Paperwork. The second one is called The Return and it's going to be the closest thing to Trap Muzik I think people have seen. It's going to be unapologetic, straight up gangster shit. The third one, Love & Liability is the story of a young man, who is a solid cat, but his heart finds him in relationships with people who he probably shouldn't be in relationships with, because of the people they're in relationships with. It's a gangster version of 808s & Heartbreak. So those are the three sections. Paperwork is just the first." 

MTV recently ranked Tip's past releases in order from best to worst, with Trap Muzik taking the No. 1 spot. Where do you think Paperwork and the rest of the series will fit in? Sound off in the comment section.
