T.I.

And those cocky-ass little faces he always makes just piss me off. Sorry, I'm going off again..

xp i think his lyrics are great!

His lyrics seem a perfect fit for his persona, tough, scrawny, clever, suave, good-looking, scrappy.

And as far as comparing him to Juvie, I was just referring to the way he did those songs back in the day where he repeated a particular catch phrase at the end of each line - U Understand??

"ASAP" is the next single! I think it's an odd choice but it's starting to grow on me. "Prayin' For Help" is my personal favorite.

hahahaslk

btw, U Don't Know didn't really strike me as that surprising for a debut single, ie 'one for the streets'?

the most mystifying thing about this thread is the guy complaining about TI's "wise-ass smirk", which is my favorite thing about him. I love watching him mug for the camera!! Lil Scrappy, who I like too, doesn't have any of TI's suaveness or cool charisma (though he does have charisma of a different sort).

I finally got I'm Serious, which was the only one I didn't have. it definitely sounds dated but I'm surprised at how good it is (and surprised at how it didn't get more critical love). I mean it's obv. not an essential album and he clearly was rough around the edges at this point but you can see a lot of what he would evolve into later. the beats are pretty good too although the later ones are better.

this story is fucking amazing

yeah meant to post that a couple days ago when a friend told me about it. awesome!

see you in september, homie

sucks, I thought it was just pot but guess not.

it's really hard not to go to jail when you're a multi-millionaire with every possible way to insulate yourself from situations that can get you put in jail

awwwwww :(

t.i. man stop being a dumbass

like have someone else drive with the drugs

the weird thing about all of this is that t.i. comes off like the total polar opposite of the troubled celebrity addict/fuck-up who can't keep away from whatever it is screwing their life up

i agree--he would seem pretty together if he was not always getting arrested.

it's just arrogance

he is 35 lol

watching how scared the innocent bystanders are in this video really sucks:

yeah it's a tragedy. fuck troy ave.

you never ever want to be the reason "she's 18" is trending on Twitter.

sick fuck bastard WTF

hard to be shocked these days buuuut

how many parents do you think are like that?

too many

thinking about how he told the entire world about it too, i was horrified
the post-it with the appt on her birthdays?! truly beyond my comprehension and i hope she realizes sooner rather than later that she is an adult and that her dad is a monster. :( poor kid

so many layers of creepster and wrong. but he's always had fucked up views about women so not surprising.

for me there is a gulf between "is a dog" and being someone who is zealously monitoring his daughter's hymen AND talking to a number of media outlets about it

Uh can someone summarize whats goin on here

this is the link i had the misfortune to read
https://madamenoire.com/1111720/ti-daughter/

no

Xxpost He uh goes to the OBGYN with his daughter every year on her birthday to make sure she's still a virgin.

No this is not a joke post.

don't worry though, his 15 yr old son gets to smash.

shit did not even think of that and i'm sure it's true

Wasn't there an ep of their reality show where they found out his son already lost his

i wasn't kidding. This is true. xpost

I had friends in high school whose dads did this

I liked Paper Trail but it was all downhill after there

sorry if we're gonna keep Turrican banned someone's gonna have to fill that role

lol dude i was about to say

how is this even legal?

minors do not have privacy rights when it comes to their parents in the US...?

also in that link posted above it explicitly says that a waiver is signed by the daughter

Though i assume there's coercion involved.

of course she did it's not like he can hold whatever financial support he provides over her head or anything

it's a "purity test" that has absolutely no health benefit which is why the WHO calls it a human rights abuse. I don't even think I ever even had a hymen.

"she don't ride no horses doc cmon"

I first saw that "T.I." was trending on Twitter, then a handful of vague tweets referring to "hymen". Didn't imagine they would be disgustingly linked like this.

yeah, so she has no privacy rights as a child and signs a waiver as an adult. but how are doctors allowed to do an inspection of a child's sexual organs, with no rationale related to health whatsoever?

So this is what T.I. meant when he said he was “wild as the taliban”

— Desus Nice (@desusnice) November 6, 2019

always used to think that, other than the seven felonies, T.I. was more down to earth than the other south rappers. welp, guess not.

what an absolute psycho

I hear hew as on Alex Jones recently. lotta rappers like to go tehre tho

omg!

tfw when someone gets cancelled but it reminds you they made some good music and you start jamming it

between this and Kanye's MAGA chuddery/ Jesus bullshit all the southern baptists are going to have to reassess their opinions on "gangster rap"
