T.I. Sounds Off With Pharrell In New Track “Here Ye, Hear Ye”
Wed Oct 19 2011 by Idolator Staff
T.I. can fictionalize street life all he wants — he's lived it, and there's a clear reminder of it on his air-tight new collaboration with Pharrell, "Here Ye, Hear Ye", the best jam he's released since completing his most recent prison sentence. (Which means something, considering the heat on "I'm Flexin'" and his verse on that "N*ggas In Paris" remix). Listen below as Tip uncages his Southern flow and recounts his struggle to recover from the violent death of his friend Philant Johnson.

Ke$ha’s New “Sleazy” Remix To Feature Andre 3000, Lil Wayne, T.I. & Wiz Khalifa
Fri Oct 14 2011 by Becky Bain
Ke$ha is throwing a party on her "Sleazy" track, and everyone's invited! Tapping Andre 3000 for the remix of her Cannibal track was just the beginning — now the pop star is adding Lil Wayne, T.I. and Wiz Khalifa (in addition to Andre) on yet another remix of the bass-pounding tune. XXL asked T.I. who has the best verse, to which the newly freed MC replied, "I haven’t heard anybody but mine [but] I’m gonna put my money on mine.” Wait a minute — shouldn't T-Pain be on this lineup?

Taylor Swift Brings T.I. On Stage In Atlanta For “Live Your Life”: Watch
Mon Oct 3 2011 by Robbie Daw
Oops! We were so dazzled by Taylor Swift's pair-up with Usher on stage at Atlanta's Philips Arena over the weekend that we missed hometown boy T.I. joining her for "Live Your Life." At this point, Tay ought to just re-brand the Speak Now Tour as a full-on greatest hits (of other artists) show. T.I. is surely happy to now be living the life of a free man, now that his latest jail stint is behind him. Watch Taylor take on Rihanna's vocals in the 2008 smash below.

T.I. Lashes Out At Diddy For Throwing A (Non-Cîroc!) Drink At A Fan
Sun Oct 2 2011 by Idolator Staff
T.I. may be fresh out of the slammer, but he wasn't the hip hop heavy who caused a belligerent, egomaniacal scene following the BET Hip Hop Awards. No — that would be Diddy. At Atlanta's Club Compound last night, the high-and-mighty Empress himself was apparently upset that not every single cocktail in the entire world is made with Cîroc, the vodka brand he sponsors. So, naturally, he knocked a Diddy-unapproved drink into the crowd with graceless talk that was not nearly as "smooth" as his Cîroc commercial. This resulted in a showdown with a peeved fan. Luckily, Tip was on hand to save the day — watch the scuffle below.

Hear T.I.’s Fresh-Out-Of-Prison Track “I’m Flexin’”
Fri Sep 30 2011 by Idolator Staff
T.I. sure doesn't waste any time, does he? Earlier today we learned his new single "I'm Flexin'" might drop as soon as Monday, and if that seemed like an awfully quick turnaround for a man who just left federal custody yesterday morning, then what do you think about the fact that the song has already leaked? That's right — less than 48 hours after being released from a halfway house, the man already has a new single out. Featuring Big K.R.I.T., "I'm Flexin'" is exactly the sort of hip hop jam we expect from Tip — and that's a good thing! Clearly a little time in the pokey hasn't hurt his rapping abilities. Head below to hear for yourself. More »
T.I.’s New Single “I’m Flexin’” To Arrive Mere Days After His Release From Custody
Fri Sep 30 2011 by Robbie Daw
T.I. rolled out of an Atlanta halfway house Thursday morning (presumably for good — though you never know), and he's already prepping his next single release, for the Big K.R.I.T-featuring "I'm Flexin'". Yesterday Tip tweeted, "Gettin dis record 'I'm Flexin' ready 4 yall...Tryin to have it delivered by 6pm. I'm on my 'Trap Muzik' - 'Dopeboy' shit... Goin HAM-burger!" The ATL rapper also posted the cover art on Trapmuzik.com. And talk about speedy delivery: XXL notes "I'm Flexin'" will drop on Monday.
T.I. Finally A Free Man After Leaving Halfway House
Thu Sep 29 2011 by Robbie Daw
The sometimes-confusing back-and-forth saga of T.I.'s latest stint in federal custody has apparently come to an end today, as the rapper was released from an Atlanta halfway house early this morning. The New York Times reports that he got into a chauffer-driven car that drove off. Tip (real name: Clifford Harris Jr.) was initially released to a halfway house one month ago, but was yanked back into prison following his use of a luxury tour bus to transport him to the facility. T.I. then went back to the halfway house once again 14 days ago.
