On Saturday (12.27.08) ya gurl hit up Hot 97’s Holiday Bash out in Uniondale, NY. I usually keep my industry coverage within the five boroughs but after much persuasion thanks to Monee & LowKey, I made the last minute decision to LIRR it and trek it out to the suburbs. I arrived 3 hours late missing Ludacris, Jim Jones, Kid Cudi but fortunately caught Young Jeezy and T.I. Not to my surprise many of the surprise guests were a no-show i.e. Jay-Z, Fabolous, and Lil’ Kim. Too bad, maybe next time. Anywhoo check out some video footage of Jeezy and T.I. Though T.I. delivered a hot show, fireworks and all…he sure did have a lot of words to all the haters and fakers. Roll the clip…
“There’s a lot of fake niccas…there’s a lot of sucka ass niccas with a bunch of make-up on…and I ain’t down with it. Any nicca got a problem with me that says a lot about him cause real recognize real. If you real, you recognize me. There’s a lot of hoe ass niccas out there and I tell ‘em in their muthafu*kin face. And if you see one of ‘em, you can tell I said that!”
Here’s Jeezy with “Put On” and “My President is Black”…enjoy!

The self proclaimed king of the south T.I. and Christina Milian grace the double-sided cover of Rap-Up’s Winter 08/09 cover. While T.I. reflects on biggest year of his career and awaits his one year jail sentence, Christina opens up about her emotional past (including ex Nick Cannon and the real reason for the Def Jam break up) and new album in 2009. Find out more out the upcoming issue HERE.
The legendary building blocks staple, LEGO, has done it again…this time recreating 20 Classic Hip Hop Album Covers in LEGO. View more interpretations HERE.
T.I. doubles up with vixens Chanta Patton, & Daphne Joy on the December/January 2009 issue of BlackMen Magazine. Why Blackmen Magazine? I’m just saying…
Jamie Foxx and T.I. team up for “Just Like Me“, the first single off Intuition dropping December 16th. Jamie and Taraji Henson battle it out in a modern day take of “anything you can do, I can do better.” Cute video but as a first single, something tells me this is gonna flop.
The King of the South has brushed off reports that he and Ludacris are beefin’. According to the “Live Your Life” hitmaker they actually have a “healthy relationship”. T.I. insists that he never had a problem with Luda. He says,
“We weren’t fighting. There were some disagreements among the organizations, whether it was friends of his or friends of mine. But we always maintained a healthy relationship. That was the competitive nature of what we do… I’m sure he has to sit back and admire my work as I do his.”
Glad to hear T.I. has some sense cuz beefin’ nowadays will get you nowhere but 6 feet under or in Yung Berg’s case…slapped across the face!
T.I. exercised his right earlier today for the first time, joining millions of Americans who, in eligible states, are participating in early voting. Although he’s had several run-ins with the law, T.I. made it his point to emphasize that, while he thought he was ineligible to vote, others needed to get out to the polls to make a difference in their lives and their communities. But after doing some research of his, he discovered was, in fact, still eligible to vote.
“Feels like I’ve taken advantage of my right to become a part of the democracy,” declared Clifford Harris aka T.I.. “It was definitely worth standing in line and doing all the things people complain about voting. I think it’s more than worth it.”

BET Access granted premiered T.I.’s newest and chartopping single “Live Your Life” featuring Rihanna. Though T.I. is getting his a$$ kicked all through the video, I was expecting more since its a huge record. The song is hot but the video…let’s just say don’t buy the hype!
For those who don’t watch E!’s Chelsea Lately, trust ya’ll watch it going forward. This is the best interview T.I.’s done to date. Pure Comedy! Hilarious how he called his relationship with Tiny as a “considerable situation”…LOL!
Can’t wait for this to premiere! Be sure to tune in to BET’s Access Granted next Tuesday (Oct.28th) for an exclusive behind the scenes look on set and the world premiere of the clip!
