T.I. Interview w/ the AJC

After speaking to a group of teenagers at a YMCA in Atlanta this afternoon, Tip sat down with the Atlanta Journal-constitution for his first interview since he plead guilty to federal weapons charges.
Q. Professionally, what did the night of the BET Hip-Hop Awards (Oct. 13) mean for you? You were the top nominee. It was happening in your city. That should have been a great day.
A. It was sort of like a, well, you remember the [last] Super Bowl, right? You know Jeremy Shockey? He broke his leg. He had to sit up in the press box and watch. He couldn’t help his team win. He couldn’t play. The greatest, most talked-about, most publicized Super Bowl in our time and he’s sitting watching; instead of actually being able to participate. Terrible… And I know, I know, I brought it on myself.”
Link: T.I.: ‘I know I brought it on myself’.

I plan to build myself a facility before I’m forty
A Molecular Archeo-genetic Laboratory
That can analyze complex poetry data for me
Even if it was recorded poorly
How extraordinary

When I was really ill
Putting Planck energy in a rhyme the size of a Tylenol pill
You want to laugh now? And cast your belligerent doubt
I’ll show you what poetry is really about
The side effects will make you pass out
Followed by skin rash, itching, diarrhea, nausea, and dry mouth

Complex said Retrun of the mac was better hmmmm…..

I agree.
I think I ruined HNIC 2 myself by DL’ing. (no closet fruits)
By the time the advance came out, I had knew the words to every song just by being too big of a fan.

……lmao @ how @ JustMe and no it’s not JustYou Just is always doing that suspect hand motions, I used to think that was a guaranteed tell tale sign but some people are just more animated and can’t control their limbs ( none just in case ) when they are talking ….

….. I used to do that all the time, it’s been awhile since I’ve done that, I still want the album as soon as it leaks but as for separate songs naw none of that, the shit ruins your overall opinion of the album, I still haven’t listened to one of those roots songs and even the prodigy album I only listened to 1 or 2 songs and just once or twice cause yall ninjas ( and by yall ninjas I mean YOU and Billz ) was ranting and raving about it so much, I didn’t see what the big deal was but I still wanted to fall back so I can hear the whole album at once and then accurately judge the album….
April 11th, 2008 at 9:20 am
….BITCH! …GO IN THE CABINET & EAT THE PILLS!
