Whether he’s crowing about his vast wealth and domination of the hip-hop game or decrying the price of fame and explicating the reasons for his most recent arrest, T.I. seems comfortable with every role he assumes in “Paper Trail.” So titled because T.I. actually wrote down his verses for the first time since his debut LP, “Paper Trail?...
