The bachelor popped up at Keyshia Cole’s Sunday show in the Rotten Apple. I didn’t even know they had a song together. Sounds pretty mediocre to me.

The homie Adam Aziz who once worked for Cliff’s StreetCred.com breaks down what the big homie needs to focus on during his time away.

5. WRITE

Countless rappers have written some of their most vivid, emotional and real lyrics while in prison including the late, great 2Pac Shakur. T.I. should throw himself into songwriting and let his feelings about his current position play out on paper…and then in the studio when he gets out. It’s going to be tough for T.I. to write anything resembling happy music while he’s locked behind the walls with people telling him when he eats and goes outside. Selfishly this should give T.I. fans some powerful lyrics once he’s released. Songs like “No Matter What” and “You Ain’t Missin’ Nothin’” were just a glimpse of how deep TIP could get.

A version of this leaked a few weeks ago and Da Capo quickly shut it down. Don’t remember if it had Damon Dash’s son Boogie DJing and a Beyonce lookalike with booty-shakin’ back-up dancers. Hov still on your mind much? Ha!

His boss will turn himself in a few but Bobby Ray trudges on. Freakin’ those “Bonita Applebum” drums, this is the full length of Bob’s Reebok Classic Remix collection contribution. I ain’t mad at this.
