T.I. – “Memories Back Then” feat. B.O.B. x Kendrick Lamar (Video)

The first time I heard the original version of this song “Memories Back Then” I thought it was just cool, but this beautifully shot video directed by PhillyFlyBoy draws the perfect picture to compliment the stories being told in each one of these emcees voices. The original version of the song was inspired by & had sampled Gotye’s mega-hit record “Somebody That I Used To Know”. This new reworked version for the video still has that initial inspiration but musically the music has been changed without the use of the Gotye sample. Singer Kris Stephens does a good job on the hook of this Kenoe produced track while T.I., B.O.B., & Kendrick Lamar do what they do best with the bars to this song that will appear on the upcoming Hustle Gang mixtape.

R&B: Robin Thicke – “Blurred Lines” feat. T.I. x Pharrell (Video)

Robin Thicke, seconded by T.I. and Pharrell in the video for “Blurred Lines” – a leak off the album he has coming later this year. Diane Martel directed it, and you WILL thank her (and us); especially after watching the NSFW version after the jump)! With Pharrell on the track, you might guess it’s produced by Neptunes. Enjoy… it all!!

Big Boi – “In The A” feat. Ludacris x T.I. (Video)

“Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors” still going strong with stuff like this. Dope music video for Big Boi’s single “In the A” (featuring T.I. and Ludacris). A Happy Place production, directed by Alexi Papalexopoulos (trying saying that three times fast). Props to DP Mark Sandhoff and editor Andre Jones. Love how they take images of the ‘real’ ATL – no frills – and deliver it raw over this raw cut. Watch!

T.I. On NiteCap With Peter Bailey (Video)

Gotta give it to The King. T.I. always makes for good TV (and NO… I’m not talking about that reality stuff). During this sit down, Peter Bailey chats with T.I. down in South Beach (nice) on NiteCap. They discuss “Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head” (his new album dropping December 18, 2012), Will Smith contacting President Obama to pardon him, his moves to unite the Atlanta Hip-Hop music scene, and more.

Big Boi – “In The A” feat. Ludacris x T.I.

When I first heard Big Boi’s new Atlanta anthem “In The A” featuring Ludacris & T.I. my first thought was they need to play this in Philips Arena during the Atlanta Hawks games. Seems like Big Boi’s plans for the record were even greater for that ‘stadium status’….

Andre 3000 Speaks On Outkast, Collaborating With T.I., & The Movember Campaign (Video)

Been a long time coming… two of the South’s premier rappers, T.I. and Andre 3000, gang up on a track entitled “Sorry.” Dope! Of course, Andre speaks on that, Outkast, and several other matters of importance; including raising awareness for prostate cancer (the “Movember” cause for the month). Good clip. Click above and watch.

T.I. Speaks On Mike Vick On ESPN’s ‘First Take’ (Video)

T.I. hits the nail on the head in speaking on Mike Vick: No athlete brought such energy to Atlanta’s sports scene since Dominique Wilkins. The city hasn’t been the same since he left. Mike Vick is a high-risk-high-reward player… excitement personified… and T.I. (and the rest of us) have come to accept that about his play. Throughout the segment, Stephen A. and Skip of ESPN’s ‘First Take’ advised that Vick ‘settle down’ and not take so many risks. But T.I. stuck to his guns; advocating that Vick play Vick’s game. This is dope commentary from T.I. But Stephen A. made a good point in this segment: This will be the second $100 Million contract for Mike Vickwith no Super Bowl appearance to show for it. The jig is up! Time to produce.

T.I. – “Love This Life” (Video)

When I first heard this record I knew this was a certified hit from the bankhead Atlanta representer. Maybe I’m getting old or something but I don’t think he needed to curse in the chorus of the record for it to be hot. It is what it is though. New video for the lead single off of T.I.’s upcoming album “Troubleman”.

Killer Mike – “Big Beast” feat. T.I., Bun B, & El-P (Short Film) [NSFW]

Killa Kill from Adamsville delivers a new music video for “Big Beast” which is the first official single from his collaborative album with EL-P on production called “R.A.P. Music”. Killer Mike’s new video plays out more like a short film centered around a 2012 “Zombie Apocalypse” that just doubles as a music video. This mini-movie may not be safe for work as it does contain some rather graphic images & content. In case you haven’t peeped Killer Mile’s new album entirely produced by El-P make sure you download it below from itunes.

T.I. – “Love This Life”

T.I. drops what is reported to be his first official single to his upcoming album “Troubleman” called “Love This Life” produced by Marz of 1500 Or Nothin. It sounds sort of similar to the sound that Wiz Khalifa has been floating on lately, but I still believe its a quality song coming from the Bankhead native. I dig it….

T.I. feat. Pharrell a.k.a Sk8brd – “Here Ye, Hear Ye” (Video)


Been banging this joint on the Beatz & Lyrics Show since I first heard it. Apparently the suits at T.I.’s label recognize that this song is a bonafide banger now that they dropped the official video with Pharrell aka “Sk8brd P”…

Evitan (Dres x Jarobi) – “P.T.I. (Occupy Wall Street)” [Video]

The homie Jarobi of A Tribe Called Quest & Dres formerly of Black Sheep have formed a new group together called Evitan. Evitan spelled backwards is “Native” which is short for the iconic Native Tongues movement they were all a part of. “Occupy Wall Street” is the first single from their forthcoming, soon-to-be-titled album, which will be released in 2012. The video was shot on location at the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City.

T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle (Episode One)

I had initially set up the the trailer to T.I. & Tiny’s new show to post a day before it was to air on VH1, but it looks like the network decided to post the show on the web before it actually was broadcast on their network. (Shrugs) Not sure of the thinking on that, but here’s the first episode of T.I. & his wife Tiny’s new reality show centered around their family. The show officially airs at 9pm EST on December 5th…
