Dirty Money F/ T.I. - "Hello Good Morning"

"Hello Good Morning"

This song has been causing quite a stir since Diddy performed it on American Idol this week. So an official review seemed to be in order. The production here is hot, has a serious club/party vibe to it. The hook is decent, a little simple on the lyrics level though. Diddy definitely could have stepped his creativity up. The verses are pretty solid too. T.I. kicks things off, continuing his new aggressive and slightly arrogant style. In my opinion, his verse is the best. Dawn Richards and Kalenna do a break part that's quality but a tad hard to understand. So they need to speak up and work on their pronunciation. And Diddy rounds things out with a trade off between singing and rapping. Overall, this song is good but needs a few tweaks here and there. With the improvements, it would definitely be a banger. So there is potential, making it worthy of a few spins. But please click the link and make the final decision for yourself. -MinM

News: T.I. Is Free From Prison

T.I. was officially released from federal prison in Arkansas today. He is supposed to report to Dismas Charities Atlanta West Correctional Center tonight. He is scheduled to do about three months at the center. After his time at the center, the rapper has about 500 hours of community service to finish and about 23 days of house of arrest to do. The rapper is expected to work to some extent, during his three month stay at the halfway house. This bit of fortune comes to the rapper, as his lawyer recently released word that they were trying to get T.I. free by at least March 2010. Reports say that T.I. was allowed his freedom due to good behavior and some other undisclosed factors. So this serves as a excellent Christmas gift, I'm sure. Originally, the rapper was not supposed to be back home until May of 2010. He also had to pay a fine, do community service before going in, and helped misguided teens which was documented via MTV. And as a reminder, this all came about due to federal weapons charges that T.I. generated back in 2007. No further info is available at this time, should more details be released, I'll do an update.

I am so hyped about this news. Hate all you want, I'm glad T.I. is free. This means that he is on his way back to the game and we could definitely use him. Rappers ain't doing too much worth talking about these days. So welcome home T.I., can't wait for the new music! It's Grand Hustle baby! -MinM

T.I. - "For Real"

"For Real"

The production here is alright, has a very smooth vibe to it. Has some light instruments, a soft clapping sound, and a grown and sexy type of theme at play. The hook is not working for me. It's got too much going on at one time with both talking and singing. And it's just overlapping with no blending at all. A solution to this I think would be to go with one or the other. I think both parts fit the song well, just not at the same time. Idk, but bottom line is something needs to be done with it. The verses on the other hand, are solid and definitely the saving grace of the track. They contain good word play, some clever rhymes, and a strong consistent flow. Overall, I'd say this is NOT T.I.'s best work by any means. However, it still warrants a listen. Maybe throw it on in the background as you start planning for tomorrow and the weekend. -MinM

T.I.'s Farewell Party

Rapper T.I. is still in good spirits as he gets ready to turn himself in. He goes in sometime next week, I believe about the 26th or 27th. He is shown in the video, spreading words of encouragement, showing love to friends and family, and just having a good time. If you have to go, that's the way to do it. Go out on top, make those last memories for a while, be the best. I hope he gets to enjoy the holiday before he goes to do his time. The game is sure going to miss him. We don't have many good mainstream rappers doing much right now. -MinM

News: T.I. Drops Alfamega From Grand Hustle

So I am sure that everyone has heard some kind of buzz about Alfamega being an informant for the DEA in his past. Records leaked to the internet showing that Alfamega worked with the DEA in 1995 when he was sentenced on federal gun charges. In return for his work, he got time shaved off his own sentence. Well T.I. got word of the information and has supposedly decided to cut all ties with Alfa.

T.I. And Shawty Lo End Beef ...... Again

Apparently, T.I. is truly feeling a change as his date to turn himself in draws near. At one of his final shows at his club, Crucial, he treated the audience to a few surprises. One was bringing his Grand Hustle crew on stage as special guests. But the killer was the appearance of his very public enemy, Shawty Lo. Hard to believe right? Check it out below..............

This was a good look for T.I., I am proud of him. I just hope that this time that the beef is over for good. They were getting ridiculous with the fighting, videos, and all. And besides we all know that T.I. was owning the beef, at least in the lyrical sense anyways. I'm proud of Shawty Lo for being a man too. He had to accept the gesture, in order for it to be official. So props all around. Now if we could just get 50 Cent and Rick Ross to stop acting a fool, we would be alright. They have gotten beyond out of pocket. Anyways, if you want more T.I. before he gets locked up, tune into MTV on Tueday nights. His show, "Road To Redemption" airs at 9:30pm, EST. -MinM

T.I. Doesn't Care About "Swaggerjack Like Us"

Oh my G-d. You can't be serious. I know my girl MinM reported that Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, and that side-switcher Lil' Wayne are going to get in the booth and re-do this song, calling it "Swaggerjack Like Us"... basically a diss record. But I didn't know that there were heads in the game that actually have their panties in a bunch because they weren't included on this waste-of-studio-time of a track. Damn these bloggers/media types and their meddlings! Check the clip:

Now, while watching this, several thoughts popped into my head:

1) Hmm. Nice to see that TIP really don't give a sh*t about any of this. Must not want to comment because he's afraid of stirring up a Shawty Lo Part 2 scenario. I say, more power to him.

2) Why did Lil' Wayne switch sides? That's some bitchassness if you ask me.

3) The remake should really be called "Dickride Like Us."

4) Do I sense a spoof coming on? Hmm... I think y'all need to get on Youtube and leave some people some requests, if you ask me...

5) I agree about Andre3K. He might've saved this shyt from being horrible. In fact, f-ck all the n-ggas on the track, how about we just get Andre and M.I.A. to do a "Paper Planes" remix? YEAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

Comments? Thoughts? Holla at me!

T.I. - "Whatever You Like"

So T.I. is back with his singing debut. And despite what one may think, it's pretty good. Reminds me of older Ja Rule singles, where he was doing the singing / rap thing. If you felt like The Confrontation went a little too hard, then this is definitely a nice change of pace.
