T.I. - Sorry Feat Andre 3000

T.I.'s forth coming album entitled Trouble Man is coming soon, until then, hopefully this track Sorry featuring Andre 3000 should hold all of us southern lyricist fans over.

T.I. - Love This Life (Official Video)

Its the King...

T.I. is back with his first video from the Trouble Man forth coming LP.  I personally like this song and think the video is a great compliment to a great track.  


This video also reminds me that if you really want the best things, work harder to go get them.  Plain and simple.  


In retrospect, sometimes people get caught up with the green pastures in the other yard and want what they think are "better" things, but the truth is they should always appreciate, value and cherish their own life first while working towards their goal.


My Dad always says, value what you have.  In the journey to find better, you may find the life you already had was what you always wanted anyway.

It's All About The Art

People make mistakes.  People aren't perfect. People will let you down.  I mean these are things we all should know by now coming to the end of 2011.

What people may not realize is at times when we do fall, the human spirit resides in such a resilient place that as long as you have the will and desire to succeed, you will.

The truth is, when you make mistake, the best thing to do is to forget all other distractions and get back to the grind that got you to the top in the first place.

For T.I., redemption island lies within his determination to continue making great music.

TIP is already to a great start aligning himself with the likes of Dr. Dre for his new mixtape dropping New Years Day.

Can't Wait.

T.I. - Pledge Allegiance Feat Rick Ross (Video)

T.I.'s camp has released the latest video from No Mercy entitled Pledge Allegiance featuring "the Baaws", Ricky Rozay.

This track is actually a bonus track that is featured on the deluxe edition of No Mercy. Its actually one of my favorite songs that leaked a while back so its good to see it stayed on the album and actually had visuals to go along with it.

T.I. is currently serving a parole violation sentence so any new music, videos or artist news is good to hear while he is gone til Novemver. Keep ya head up T.I.P.

T.I. - Poppin Bottles Feat Drake (New Music)

I don't know where to start. After the birthday week I just had, I am so motivated to live the "Birthday Lifestyle" Year Around. I was treated like a king for a whole week. I have the greatest friends, family and business associates in the world.

The interesting thing is that some people live this birthday/king lifestyle daily, and once you get a taste of "the life", its addictive.

This year was definitely a motivational tool to keep me striving towards acheiving my dreams for sure. The thing I learned is the most important thing to this lifestyle is positivity, i.e. always believing "yes you can."

Through continuous positive energy I was able to start my birthday week off by going to Vegas on Monday to party with Mr. toot It and Boot it, YG.

Tuesday brought forth antics with Tre from Z90 FM and DJ Ironic. Wednesday, I was damn near front Row at the Usher OMG Tour thanks to Usher's Uncle Duron Raymond.

Thursday was my actual Birthday with a 3d Lightshow event hosted by Savvy Thursdays @207 Hardrock San Diego.

Friday, Shock G from Digital Underground hosted my official birthday party giving mad birthday shouts and even performed a 2pac birthday rap for me.

Saturday we were Popping Bottles at Barfly in the prestigious La Jolla, California area of San Diego.

Sunday was industry night at Hardrock with Mr. Mobeze Incorporated himself and Monday was the Chargers vs Broncos Monday Night Football game with my good friend Rosario.

I had a hell of a week for sure.

Now I am not bragging what so ever, but what I'm saying is motivation and positive energy are a motha....

Obviously, I won't live like that because every week can't be my birthday week, and I am thankful to have had that opportunity but then again if a person is focused and stays motivated towards his or her goals that person could live like Mariah Carey or Usher.

The funny thing about the birthday week is after it was officially over, T.I.s latest album would leak which is unfortunate but the hot song of the week would happen to be the song entitled Poppin Bottles featuring Drake.

After hearing this song, its obvious: time to get back to work in order to live the birthday lifestyle daily.

Rapper T.I. Won't Face LA Drug Charges

Los Angeles prosecutors have declined to file a felony drug charge against T.I. stemming from his arrest last month on the Sunset Strip.

According to a charge evaluation worksheet released Monday, deputies found four ecstasy pills on the 30-year-old rapper from Atlanta.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., was on supervised release after serving 10 months in prison for federal weapons charges when he was arrested Sept. 1. A Georgia judge earlier this month sentenced him to another 11 months in prison for breaking his federal parole with the latest arrest.

As a condition of his release earlier this year, Harris was ordered not to commit another federal, state or local crime while on supervised release, or to illegally possess a controlled substance. He was also told to take at least three drug tests after his release and to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program.

The deputy district attorney in LA who rejected the case cited the sentence and the small amount of drugs found as reasons drug charges aren't being pursued.

"The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office's decision to reject TI's case was the right thing to do under the circumstances," Harris' attorney, Steve Sadow, wrote in an e-mail. He commended the office for "exercising its discretion to reject prosecution in light of the legal and factual issues involved."

The Grammy Award-winning rapper is expected to begin his prison term on Nov. 1.

Chris Brown - Deuces Remix

Chris Brown has reached out to some true A-Listers for sure on his remix for Deuces. Hearing any new music from anyone of these particular artists is always a treat but to have Drake, Kanye West, T.I., Fabolous and Andre 3000 on the same track is like having Christmas time come 5 times a year. One for each verse/gem.

The truth is this song is so well put together and every artist holds his own weight but as always both Kanye West and Andre 3000 verses stand out respectively.

Enough about what I think, I'll let you decide who has the best verse, but in reality, I don't even really want to compare, I do however want to appreciate the fact these guys on the same track is rare and precious like a diamond.

I realize I am late on posting this, but better late than never right?

Anyway, check out the Chris Brown - Deuces Remix here...

T.I. - I Got Your Back feat Keri Hilson (Video)

More often than not, we as men don’t give the strong and positive women in our lives enough credit for the love and compassion they provide us. Whether it’s our mothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives, lovers, aunts, or grandmothers, for some reason we seem to focus more on the negative women and gloomy experiences in our life, rather than appreciate the positive ones that make it possible for us to stroll through the city with a smile on our face.

Throughout the years, hip hop/ rap music has been criticized for portraying women in a negative light, although there are a few cases such as Common’s “The Light,” Nas’ “Getting Married,” and Ghostface Killah’s “All I Got Is You,” where nothing but appreciation and glorification is shown for the women in each respected artist’s life.

I had the pleasure of growing up with my mom and sister when I was younger, so needless to say, I’ve always had the utmost respect for strong willed women. Both of them are amazingly tough women who have conquered some incredibly difficult obstacles throughout their lives and have made various personal sacrifices, in order to take care of their family and children.

A track that I’m truly infatuated with right now is TI’s dedication to his fiancée Tameka“Tiny” Cottle, “Got Your Back” ft. Keri Hilson. Honestly, I have to commend TI for taking on a song like this, especially considering his “thug” image, in a genre where the word “bitch” is used nonchalantly all the time, TI has gone another route, much like Tupac did with his famous dedication to poverty stricken women “Keep Ya Head Up.” He boasts about his relationship and the fact that he’s in love with one woman and is no longer interested in “playing the field” as some say.

In the last verse TI raps in his southern accent:

“The pieces to the puzzle in my life/ With all of my good days and all of my bad/ You stood by your man and you know you got my back/ Worth every car, every bag, with me they wanna be that/ I know what I got at home/ I ain’t gon’ ever leave that.”

Throughout the song’s lyrics, TI does nothing but compliment his future wife and takes the time to thank her for everything she’s done for him while he’s been going through life changing trials and tribulations.

Tiny took care of their children when TI was incarcerated and was there for him everyday, continuously showing emotional support for the troubled rapper, who’s been given a second chance to try to make things right in his life.

Recently released from prison after serving nearly 10 months for federal weapons charges, ATL’s suave emcee seems hungrier than ever to prove to the world that the “bad guy” he used to be known as (and to some extent is still viewed as by many) has in fact come full circle and is working nonstop to become a positive role model for today’s society.

After his turbulent upbringing and previous run ins with the law, TI is now on a mission to give back to the underprivileged and provide positive insight to youngsters who look up to him and think that being “gangster” is the hip thing to do.

Last year’s hit show “TI: Road to Redemption” was the first of what is hopefully many positive steps for the incredibly talented young artist. Songs like “Got Your Back” represent the matured TI, who now finally seems to realize what really is important in life.

Not the guns, drugs, or money, but rather the loved ones, experiences, and what we as individuals can give back to our society and community, in a time when we all seem to be out solely for ourselves.

T.I. - Got Your Back featuring Keri Hilson

Getting Ready For Opening Day...

Oh You Fancy, Huh!?

"All my 'DAYGO' girls, let me see your hands, Wave em at the 'breezies' hating on you with their friends, Girl you got it, Let em know everything big, Nails done, hairs done, everything big!

Go Cinderella, Go Cinderella! Orgasm blush Lipstick ‘n concealer, Devil in a tight dress, Girl you a killer and ain't nobody realer, And ain't nobody realer...Showtime... Go, Go, Go! As we proceed!!!"

- Fancy by Drake

And so here we are again. Tomorrow the Opening Day of Del Mar Race Track will be upon us. Opening day is the first day of the Del Mar horse racing season and the very special day where all the girls get dressed up wearing the Big Hats and fancy dresses and all the guys throw on a suit jacket to enter the infamous Turf Club. This is a premier day in San Diego.

Missing Opening day of the racetrack is like visiting Atlanta and not going to the Underground Mall, going to Chicago and not having a Maxwell Street Polish or Hot Dog, or going to New York and not visiting Times Square.

These epic events and places are things you must take part in if you visit the respective cities.

Tomorrow, I can atleast assure you of one thing, I will be a professional tourist with a professional camera, so it won't be just a mere "work" day. It will be an extravaganza for sure.

The most exotic looking people always make for a great photo opportunity and I will definitely be snapping photos of the fancy people.

A List Media and TV Host Eric Edwards will be on hand covering the event as well.

All I can say is it will be Christmas in July, so step up and get your photo taken. ALL of the best photos from opening day will be posted here for sure.

T.I. - I'm Back

Ahhhh what irony! As Lil Wayne starts his year jail sentence, T.I. returns from his. And upon his return, the king of the south has a new single obviously entitled, I'm Back.

At first I was iffy on this track until I put it in my playlist and instantly became ready to avenge anybody that ever took advantage of me! HA HA, okay seriously this is a hot song and actually it seems as if I will have another double I'm Focused day. Oh well check the song out.

*sidenote: Yes it's official, after hearing this song and Drake's Over, I am now working on a new mixtape for all the motivational, gym-time-work-out-needed, get-pumped-up, accomplish-my-goals-immediately, music heads, so be on the look out for that!
