The daily pulse of the Atlanta hip-hop scene
T.I. Talks! And Chaka Zulu Links Up With Daddy's Little Girl?
Posted on July 2, 2007 7:59 AM
Trust me I know. I’ve talked about T.I. so much these past two weeks I'm even sick of him right about now. But this is T.I. week on SOHH so I got to do what I got to do.
I was scratching my head tying to figure out what I could post that would really interest you guys. As I started to search my usual “go-to†sites I ran across a recent interview SOHH Fabulous did on her popular blog, YBF.blogspot.com, where she sits down with the dual personality lyricist.
It was total fluff, but interesting all the same.
Natasha: So why T.I. v. T.I.P? Who are these people?
T.I.: {Laughs} Why? Because this has been a conflict for a long time now. T.I.P. is who I am personally and T.I. is me professionally. It's just something I wanted to put out there.
Natasha: I can tell.
T.I.: Yeah I mean, I have a different way to display different sides of me. But both are needed in this industry.
Natasha: Who do you feel is your biggest competition in the game right now?
T.I.: Biggest competition? Me! Sh*t nobody else can do what I do. {Laughs} How many other cats doing what I do got all the respect from the fellas? And the ladies love him? I mean...you know.
Natasha: Ok I can see that.
T.I. Exactly. {Laughs}
Natasha: Before you dropped [Trap Muzik], how'd you keep going and keep your eye on the prize when you weren't getting the respect you deserved when you were underground and all over mixtapes?
T.I.: Just the opportunity to get what I wanted. That kept me going. I just smelled it and followed my nose.
Natasha: Do you think you get the respect you deserve right now?
T.I.: People who know me personally respect me. If you know T.I.-then you respect him. That's all that matters.
Natasha: So you and Tiny. *I promise y'all his whole aura changed and got extra smiley*
T.I.: What?
Natasha: What's your relationship status? You told MTV months ago that you broke up with Tiny and now you're single man. And the next day you're all up in Body Tap kickin it with Tiny lookin' like a couple. So what's going on with that?
T.I.: I didn't tell MTV that! {Laughs}
Natasha: Yes you did!
T.I.: No...I told them we were taking time apart or whatever and they jumped to conclusions.
Natasha: Well you know the ladies want to know. What's your status?
T.I.: I mean I don't put labels on things. Sometimes it's best not to say anything at all. I mean...I'ma always have love for [Tiny]. You know how that is.
Natasha: So are you in an exclusive relationship?
T.I.: Yes, of course. But I don't label things.
Natasha: So several weeks ago a video hit the net of your concert a Bentley College where you stopped the music and went off on somebody who threw something at you on stage. It was during the "What You Know" track and people said it was all planned and fake. Was it?
T.I.: Naw man. That was real. I'm not fake. I don't stage a damn thing. I always keeps it real. Just like everything on this album is based on things that really went down. I'ma keep it gangsta. This sh*t is not just for tv. {Laughs} Not at all.
For more on this interview log onto: YBF.blogspot.com
On a completely unrelated topic…..
New Couple Alert?
Word on the street is that Disturbing Tha Peace /Def Jam executive Chaka Zulu and actress Gabrielle Union where all hugged up together at Diva Las Vegas this weekend. If that’s true then good for you Chaka! No matter what they say, sometimes nice guys can in fact get the girl.
Talk to y’all lata,
--SOHH Gyant
Oh by the way -Got A Hot News Tip? Email Me!
I'm sick of T.I right now he's got to be the most overrated artist after JayZ and Dr Dre, they ain't all that, now WTF is wrong with Gabrielle Union, i hope that's not true.
ONE!
Nino you crazy. Jay is overrated now. idk anyone who thinks Dre can actually spit. Do yourself the favor and go listen to T.I vs T.I.P. Its better than most albums that have been out for maybe the past 2 and a half years. Its better than King, and him and jay were the only rap artists to go platinum last year.
I'ma keep it gangsta. This sh*t is not just for tv. {Laughs} Not at all.
^^
LIE!
Ole lazy ass. Do your own fuckin interview, and whatap with that alleged T.I.-G-Unit Beef? Get on your damn job. Gyant is a gay bitch. real talk.
DONT DISRESPECT ME!! LMFAO!
You lame ass nukka.
damn man making T.I. the subject its gonna make it any better for u sincxe u posted his album man lol. i mean damn he's been the subject 90% of the time since last Monday when his album leaked.
LMAOOOOO, yall niccas still foolin...I c ur boy feelings were hurt, erased ALL the posts over the weekend...A man admits his mistakes...a coward? Well we c how they react...LOL...He would've been better off not commenting at all...but did yall c the long drawn out story he did? HAHAHAHAHA

LEAVE A COMMENT IF YA FEELIN THE WORK
@Slimgoody
You're right personality is the best feature a man have to attract a woman and not the looks but that's not what i meant when i said i hope Chaka ain't hitting, it's just that i've been hearing a lot a rumors about Grabrielle Union dating a different dude every other week and i just think she should settle down for once and for all.
@EataD
Yes sir Jay is overrated because i said so, he's considered to be the greatest rapper alive while y'all don't give props to the real G.O.A.T Nas who Jay used as inspiration in many of his songs and even style, i bet you're one of those people who goes for what's popular, i bet you bought that wack ass album "kingdom come" and didn't even listen to "hiphop is dead" besides the singles and as far as T.I i got love for dude cuz he fucks with real niggaz like B.G and Young Buck but he ain't no king of a damn thang, where the hell is Scarface, Trick Daddy and the real OGs, T.I went platinum last year cuz he got stans like you that support him and Jay Z went platinum cuz he had a marketing campaign of more than 10 million dollars while he didn't even support real cats from his label like Redman, Method Man and LL Cool J.

TRUTH!!!!! You forgot that T.I. had a movie that Co-Incided with his album release as well.
What the hell is going on at SOHH? They are taking censorship to a whole other level. How they gonna demand a TI blog and not even hook up their own interview with him? I'm confused.
TRUTH!!!!! You forgot that T.I. had a movie that Co-Incided with his album release as well.

Exactly he went gold in his first week which was the week of the movie and so far he ain't sold more 1.7 mill.

IMO, King and this new album arent anywhere near his old shit. Just like everyone else, he sold his artistic soul for dollas.
On The Real I love Gyant...Keep doing your thing homie!!
KONEECHIWA STALKER STATUS!!!

This nigga done copied and pasted form another website. Shit, I can do that. This site gets worst by the day. I mean c'mon, this nigga just admitted that he surfs other sites for news and repost them here. WTF?
The Following Has Been Taken from allhiphop.com:
How to: write a lil wayne rap verse
1. Pick a Verb. Preferably a verb about running away from the law or from an assailant. I.E. Duck, Run, Dodge or maybe Stop, Drop or Roll. Lil' Wayne LOVES stopping, dropping and rolling. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
2. Connnect the verb to some sort of simile. This is crucial. Every single Lil' Wayne line must contain some sort of relatively obvious simile. So maybe you can "duck like Scrooge." "Run like a bloody nose." Or even "Dodge like Kansas." You can do metaphors but try to steer away from doing this too often, lest people think that you are a different ghost-writer. That is bad. Also for bonus points talk about how "sweet" you are. Lil' Wayne loves talking about being sweet like a Tahitian Treat or some other delicacy high in sucrose.
3. Mention "Slanging Keys." This is crucial to establish street cred. Don't pay attention to the fact that Lil' Wayne's been famous since 12 and the only thing he knows about slangin' is that he speaks with it. After all, if you don't talk drugs how else can you impress the translucent Dairy Queen-white music critics. This way they can also compare you to the Wire. (Just remember to connect all that "slanging keys" talk with a simile).
4. Declare that you are Weezy F. Baby. This will tell listeners who you are. Sure, they probably already know, but adding The "F" in the middle of the name uncertainly adds to Wayne's level of class. It makes him seem like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Exactly like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Whatever you do, don't attempt to ascertain what the "F" stands for. That my friends is a slippery slope. And whatever you do, don't think about what the "F" stands for while looking at a picture of Wayne and Baby making out.
5. Talk about hustling. Music critics love hustling. Presumably, they are devotees to the energetic style of basketball popularized by players like Ben Wallace, Kurt Rambis and Mark Madsen. This will make them feel at home. If there's anything music writers know about, it's hustling.
6. Talk about Baby. Call him your Daddy. Forget the fact that he's not actually your Daddy. Forget the fact that the majority of people that call other men "daddy" are prostitutes. It's unimportant. Mention something that Baby told you. Maybe that he told you "these b*tches is b*tches." Or that he told you to "Turn around and stick out." (Maybe, he was just quoting Sir-Mix-A-Lot.) Ignore the fact that you call a man named "Baby," "Daddy." Let's just chalk that up to being a New Orleans thing.
7. Make some sort of obvious pop culture technology reference. Talk about IPods. Or Myspace. Or gigabytes. Something remotely technological. It will show that Wayne is not completely retarded (just partially) and might have actually read a newspaper once or twice. Which clearly means he is a genius.
8. Talk about how poorly you treat women. Perhaps you can claim how you'll "never love a b*tch." Or how you'll "never give a ho a damn thing." The more misogynistic the better. This will definitely do much to steer people away from those nasty "gay" rumors.
9. Apropos to nothing, make some sort of remark about Hurricane Katrina. No need to bother making it have anything to do with the rest of the verse. After all, never underestimate white liberal guilt. Any sort of name-dropping will make white liberals feel bad and they will forget the fact that Wayne is a multi-millionaire and anoint him the voice of the people. Also, be sure to make wild ridiculous conspiracy theories like claiming that you heard George Bush blew up the levees. The more absurd the better. Go for it.
10. Proclaim yourself the "Greatest Rapper Alive." Forget the Fact that Wayne would be lucky to be included in a list of the Top 20 rappers working right now. Most music critics haven't listened to Hip Hop Made Before 1999 anyway (other than Public Enemy). If you proclaim yourself the greatest, you will be the greatest. Or at least people will be foolish enough to buy this canard
The Cube Monday Jul 2
You gotta love Mondays. I literally sleepwalked my way into my car and sleepdrove over to the magnificent 7600 Central Expressway building. OK here I am, I can make it to the 16-25 floor elevator and allow it to haul my butt up to my floor, lucky number 17. OK, they must be working on the elevators again, cause there’s quite a crowd down here. I’m trying not to make eye contact, lest they see my bloodshot eyes and 8 o clock shadow and magically know about my complete and utter debauchery last night. I don’t know how I let Calvin and ‘em drag me to Sherlock’s to play pool and binge drink at midnight on a Sunday….for the 10th time. Each time I swear it’s the last, just like I swore last night….Elevator’s here ….ok let the mad rush begin, f*** ladies first, its already 8:36 and work starts at 8. Damn, I didn’t know we could fit twenty people into a ten person elevator, I guess no-one’s giving up their spot…this is not how to start the week, jammed in an elevator with a bunch of strangers like a sardine’s bitch. I’m not sure what direction the coffee breath is coming from, but I don’t like this….
Made it, the bold sign still says General Accounting, reminding me that for the last 389 days I have sacrificed the freedom and joy of college for a life of starched pants that bunch up deep into the nether regions. Damn I should have gone to grad school, if only to stretch out the school experience!!!
I gotta get my James Bond on so I can sneak past the supervisor’s desk unnoticed. My shirt’s color is not too bright today; it’s a nice bland sky blue, the color of choice for Mondays. Gaddam Charles (supervisor) is nowhere to be seen, so he’s prolly in the coffee room, which is directly on the way to my cube. OK…here I go, I just gotta dash past the door, do a judo roll and hop into my cube without hitting my desk lamp, 1,2,3…….made it. His back was turned to refill the coffee pot, so I just walked past….that was easier than I had planned out….. Damn did I forget to mute my laptop…..Nope….the damn Windows theme song just alerted the whole bullpen to the fact that someone just got to work…late. Here comes smartass Jim “Hey man, glad you could stop by and see us today†in his loudest voice possible. “Good one man ha haâ€, I manage to reply with my best fake ‘you got me’ smile. Motherf***** thinks its cool to draw attention to another man’s abject lateness…..karma is a fat hairy bitch Jim, I’ll make sure I have a megaphone handy next time you comes in late.
Here I am at the cube, my 8’ by 6’ my home away from home. It is in this wood and metal cell that I have achieved my greatest nerd highs. Just last week I was able to make the Retained Earnings roll forward balance out to the GL - I felt pretty cool about that one.
Crap here comes Chris, I gotta control the imminent conversation we are about to have otherewise my ear will literally be talked off. I call out “Hey Chris, whatchu get into this weekend?...a round of golf.....Alright buddy, I’ll catch you laterâ€. HAHA, kept the convo to less that 30 seconds. I really don’t give a @#$% how your weekend went man, just don’t hang around the cube too long, God knows I didn’t miss you since it seems like I just saw your ass even though it REALLY has been a whole 48 hours since I last saw you and you bent my ear for 45 minutes about your failing marriage. Quick scan around…Great!, no one brought breakfast. I guess I can’t complain either since I didn’t bring breakfast either…..oooh there’s Marlene, Lawd have mercy! Now that is what I call a booty!, seeing that thing for even just a second makes me forget that I was in jail (at work) “Hey Marlene, how YOU Doing?†(I sound like Joey on Friends)…â€Oh nothing much just watched some sports and chilled at the crib.†“OK talk to ya later†Glad to see you walk away, mmm, mmm, mmm, that Stairmaster works wonders like a motherf*****
Good, computer’s booted, haha, its like I was never even late! If anyone does ask, there was mad traffic on US 75. Time to check in on my favorite blogs. First I gotta angle my computer screen in a way that noone but me can see it….I really need one of those privacy guard things. Cool, so whats new on SOHH.com? hmmm Lil Kim gets beat down by transvestite hookers,….Lil Wayne accidentally smoked one of his own shitlocks,…..SOHH Gyant is getting dissed again in the comments section of his own blog, lol…Let me add my own little diss, even though I don’t know what they are talking about…â€Hey Gyant, why don’t you quit being such a lame ass, haterade drinking, cock-sucking muthasucka….â€.Why is there a shadow over my desk….DAMN how long has Charles been standing over me….shit!! Did he see my screen? From the look in his eyes, he definitely did. Damn, I need to remember to shrink my internet explorer window to the size of a credit card so no-one knows what the crap I’m doing up here. Oh no, he wants to talk to me in the conference room, and I guess the rest of the team aint coming…. just a mono e mono reprimandfest about the Company’s Internet use policy….Aiiiight its about to be a long ass day….

You forgot to write about jacking off in the men's bathroom & not washing your hands when your done and then you go back into the office and shake every person's hand that you don't like.
Everything else you wrote is accurate
Yeah, I would have also added how I wait in the lunch room across from the refrigerator. Where I watch the dickheads I don't like (the boss) store there home made lunches. Around 11:30 - 11:45, I like to steal there lunches. The funny part is I don't even eat half of them. They just flushed down the toilet after I finish my secord jack off session of the day!
Another one of my past times at work is using the interoffice mail system for evil.
I print out little messages to people I hate at work. Messages like:
Eat a dick
Die Slow
or I just make fun of their family members.
When I'm done printing the message out I put it into an interoffice envelope and have one of the mail foom guys deliver it for me.
That beat up...I swear u used T.I. name to get comment...ur boss hell...U need help...and to get it...U'll drop more names than a Game Verse
**Shout TO Chaundon**
Everyday u find a way to get the BOOOZACK!!!
In addition to stealing peoples lunches I also like to steal ramdon tings off nigga's desks, like:
Family photo's
Stuff animals
Office supplies
Loose Change in their desks
CD's, etc.
Trust me there are 2 or more people in your office that are just like me! Believe that!!!

go listen
U'll drop more names than a Game Verse

LMFAO. And its true too! This dude just talks about his "Industry Connects" and how he meets all these people at "Events" and "Fights(stalks)Dudes" but he cant even get clearences on interviews because noone even respects this dude or takes him serious, lmfao.
Listen big head. Noone gives a shit aboutyour interviews either and thats why people clown your goofy ass. You think this blog shit is some amazing job you fuckin lame? NOPE.
Shawty Red is the only interview I'd be interested in anyway. You ever inteview any REAL lyricists? I dont see one on that list homie. The only interview anyone here remembers is bow wow's MOM, so WTF?!
Get off your trip homie, you aint shit but a human being. You aint no celebrity, no fuckin star. You arent even Byron Crawford nukka so kick rocks.
I could give a fuck about interviewing ANYONE because I dont jump on people's dick like you homie. Celebrities are just people. Maybe if you thought that way you'd be better off you ego trippin bitch.
You aint got shit better to do than sit there and refresh the fuckin page and delete comments and respond to people you shouldnt give a fuck about if you're so high and mighty.
Nukka, you a lame, GTFOH.
i luv you for reading...
I give Gyant constructive critisicm and my comments get deleted...Other niggaz DISRESPECT him and he explains himself?? Am I missing something here?? Lol
I LUV Gyant

They FEAR what may be considered COMPETITION. Rather than connect and build for the betterment of hip hop, it's about who has the most "BLING" (aka..hits).
They just encompassing the spirit of hip hop in here, that's all. Lowkey..I'll check out the site, hoping it's less than more of the same old same old. Maybe there will exist some encouragement over there in regards to the future of hip hop. Here I go....
I just got back from DTP photo shoot. Wasnt/arent concerned with what y'all got to say on this shit. Look out for exclusive interviews from Bobby Valentino, Chingy, Step Jones, Small World, etc in the next couple of days.
Ya'll lay off Gyant, before you see him peeking thru YOUR bushes like the Great Pumpkin!
sohh gyant you fucking faggot ti is wack and I'm tired of all these fucking blogs being based on him do yourself a favor and get ti's nut out yo mouth
