T.I. Says Eminem Held Him Down While Away

[vodpod id=Video.3705986&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Did%253D1639967%2526vid%253D520163%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A520163]

T.I. tells MTV that during his time in prison, Eminem’s words of encouragement helped him get through his bid.

“Em personally reached out to me, and we been speaking ever since, especially since I went through my situation [with having to go to prison]. [He would] just kinda remind me that ‘I’ve been through dark period in my life too. You’re gonna make it. You’re one of the ones we need, so you’re gonna make it. Stand tall and walk the walk.’ He just made it a point to always reassure me of the spot that I hold in this thing that we got called hip-hop. It was incredibly helpful. It was incredibly noble of him, in my eyes, to even take the time out to reach out to me.”

  6. Jolla says:

    @ nyg718 That’s because this exact same thing was posted a few posts down, only under a different name lol. So don’t worry, the Stan power is still strong. In fact it’s so strong that they knew this would be the same thing as previously posted before even clicking on it LOL.

  7. K.o.D says:

    SHIT, I THOUGHT IT’S THE LIL WAYNE POST.

    Johnny boy needs to calm the fuck down.The tracklist comes when it comes,same goes for the 2nd single.Still a month till the album comes out.Dont think he will release the 2nd single before Not Afraid video is out

  10. BK says:

    In reality tho it’s probably like 3 weeks til the next album cus you kno those hackers lol. Either the vid or a tracklist should drop this week tho IMO.

  11. imeafk says:

    It seems that Em realy admires TI… And the whole world admires Em. Who wins?:P Jokin. RECOVERY IS TOO CLOSE! EVERYBODY BUY IT!

  12. dani says:

    2 of my favorite rappers are in a bromace…

    love it. <3 lol.

  13. mistah_zee says:

    one of the ones we need – real talk

  14. Toya says:

    Not surprised. In several interviews last year, Em did say that he was a fan of T.I.’s work and that he loved Paper Trail. So it would make sense that as another artist, he would encourage another talented artist to keep his sanity while in jail.

  15. Ac@pella! says:

    That’s wassup.

  16. wonjo says:

    ^^^
    true. but artists have such huge egos that they would never actually say those things. especially if you’re on a level of fame and money etc. that em is on…it’s a very gracious thing to do…

  17. Bobburn says:

    Ay cmon fellas one there are many tracklisting out there some reall fugazi and one I believe is accurate
    secondly
    we need ti really…….no what we
    need is em to work with cats like
    premo and black milk—(thank god

    Khalil) but em is trying
    to keep the
    kids
    interested with tracks
    with drake and Wayne and
    bob which is bullshit keep it real……..

  18. Fat Boy says:

  19. Markoni says:

    T.I AND EM GOT MAD RESPECT FOR EACHOTHER… WHEN T.I ON POINT HES DOPE

  22. WOrD says:

    In the five years between his own albums, he worked as a producer, making beats for other rappers, and occasionally showed up as a guest rapper; he now calls his verse on “Touch Down,” with the Atlanta rapper T.I., “horrible.”
