Happy 29th Birthday, T.I!!!

“Refuse to give up. Your mistakes don’t define you. They don’t dictate where you’re headed…they remind you!”

…not really. A couple of weeks ago, I posted THIS song by T.I. entitled That’s the Way You Want It & last week, the blogs went nuts obsessing over the lyrics, as parts of it were an obvious diss to his baby mama, Lashon. Well, Jason Geter, T.I.’s business partner, took to the blogs to extend an apology. You can read it by checking out T.I.’s blog or read below:

T.I. Live From Forrest City Facility Mixtape is in no form or fashion affiliated with T.I. or Grand Hustle. T.I. recorded the track “That’s The Way You Want It” as a means of release while dealing with a very public child support case. The song was never intended to be released in any way. T.I. loves and respects his kids and would never do anything intentionally to disrespect the mothers of any of his children. Artists often record music for sheer expression that is never meant for the public. T.I. and Grand Hustle regret that this song was leaked and would like to apologize to all parties involved. The other songs on the mixtape are tracks recorded when T.I. was a teenager.

And there you have it…

“…I don’t expect my well being to be a n*gga’s concern cuz I know that ain’t the way the world turn. Everybody love to see a n*gga a*sed out…they’d rather see you lose it all than to see you cash out. They gossip like bitches, I don’t even ask how. Cuz n*ggas aint sh*t…I believe that now.”

This whole song is some wisdom. Get into, guys & gals!

“….Some parents let their children blame [mannish behavior] on hip-hop. I think that’s the beginning of the problem, personally. I think hip-hop is being used as the scapegoat.”

“…Just keep the wind at your back and the sun at your face. Remember, winning is in your blood; you were BORN with what it takes!”

“…When the haters speak your name, it’ll burn their tongue. Never be ashamed of how you live or where you from.”

“…Learn & visualize whatchu tryin’ to do..and do the time, homeboy, don’t let the time do you.”
