VH1 Behind the Music: T.I. (Full Episode)
I think I was aware of the majority of this but I still like to listen to Clifford articulate & pontificate. I was waiting to post this once somebody got it into one embedded player, so WSHH to the rescue. Gotty™, proud member of the bandwagon since the “I’m Serious” video with Beenie Man.

“A King Of One Self…”
6. A Bonafide Classic — By December 31, 2009, Trap Muzik should be accepted as an undeniable classic and one of the better albums of the decade. Take some time to review the tracklist and attempt to pick a ‘bad’ song. Go ahead, try it. That being said, I’m Serious and Urban Legend often find their n...

Podcast: T.I. Feat. Young Dro - “King On Set”
Scrap the version with B.G., add in Young Dro, clean up the drum claps & throw it on the More Than A Game OST. Really though, no matter how much I like Dro, the T.I.-B.G. collaboration always brings a sharpness out of both & one I wish we could hear more of. Dah well.

Podcast: The Rebirth…
If Weezy can rock & roll, why can’t T.I.? Before hitting the clink, the biggest rapper in jail got melodramatic over heavy guitar riffs and live drums on “Live My Life Alone,” one of two new T.I.P. tracks featured on ATLiens:The Mixtape. Without a bar in sight, T.I.’s delivery is more James Hetf...
Midterm Grades: XXL Class Of 2009
There’s a lot of good to go around here. It seemed as though T.I. was handing the Grand Hustle baton over to Mr. Ray at every stop on his way to the slammer. Eminem has also been singing Ray’s praises every chance he gets. Add in a feature segment on The Carson Daly show as well as “I’ll Be In The Sky” gett...

Podcast: Broken Cool Interviews Jim Jonsin’
And for the occasion, I want to revisit & rock with a Bobby Ray chune, crafted by none other than Jim. Loved because it shows his ability to always incorporate his Rock influences (sampling Outfield) into Hip-Hop. It proves that he’s not all “Lollipop” and radio mush. Plus, a man that can g...

T.I. Missed His Deadline
A deadline passed and Atlanta rapper T.I. had not gone through the gate to the federal prison in Forrest City, where he was to begin serving time for a weapons conviction.

“A Town” - Review Of DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz: The Album Vol.2
Still standing after shaking off faulty racketeering charges, DJ Drama remains one of the biggest street A&R’s in the game. The Gangsta Grillz mixtape series still prevails as a deal breaker in solidifying an artist’s independent grind and Drama’s connections with T.I.’s Grand Hust...

T.I. Gives Alfamega The Boot From Grand Hustle
Well, we can throw my defense of Alfamega out the window. T.I. just gave him the good ol’ “You’re Fired” Vince McMahon style. While I hate to see a guy lost his job, T.I. makes a few good points here. And this will probably only fuel the rumors that Alfa had something to do with Tip going in.

MTV Fail
Boy, aggins got in my hind parts (no rainbow) a few days ago when we threw up the wrong picture of one of the Re-Up dudes. But it’s not like they were on TV & radio like Futuristic Leland is and has been. Nor should any other mortal being ever be confused with Alfamega. T.I. Associate [...]

“After The Smoke Clears” - Method Man’s 4:21
Comprehesively speaking of course. Few will argue that the buzz circulating his first release, Tical and most recent offering were created equal. In fact, 4:21’s biggest promotion device was it’s non-promotion all together. In 2006, unless your name was T.I. or you slung ringtones out of yo...

Eminem Covers XXL
Aside from that, though, I wouldn’t call them terrible. I would call them completely cheesy, but I’m hoping the free Em x Punisher comic makes up for the lack of expression the photographer should’ve stirred out of the once animated MC. Either way, the issue drops in June and features Slim’s...

TSS Presents Smoking Sessions With Crooked I
It’s crazy, because more and more people are sinking. It’s like we not rapping no more. It’s like ever since Lil’ Wayne did “Lollipop,” which was a good song—huge success for him and I’m sure the bank account is on happy status right now—but since he did “Lollipop,” then T.I. came with “Whatever...
“Rebel For The Hell Of It…”
It took me a little over thirteen hours to get this. Might not sound like anything to you but I’m impatient. No particular reason besides having the instrumental to play extra loud as I pull up to the Easter egg hunt on Sunday. In my mind, it should be Peter Cottontail’s theme music as he comes hop...
“Lord Give Me A Sign”
Why they only gave him 90 days is really the true magical wonder of the Arizona legal system. We should just rejoice that the prodigal son is back home.

Maybe it had to do with him wanting to get his message out clearly, but outside of flashes like on his second verse on “No Matter What” and his verse on “Swagger Like Us,” rarely does he wow you on the mic. It’s a testament to his charisma and willingness to go into detail that he’s able to keep lis...
