TI Covers the New Issue of Vibe

Sorry to say, but I think T.I. is one of the dumbest rappers alive! How can 1 man have so much, and do everything to fuck it up repeatedly. I also think his rapping skills are vanishing quickly. Hold your head TI!

Check out some excerpts from the article

ust a few days before T.I. had to turn himself into authorities once again, the predicate felon sat down with journalist, Erik Parker, and opened up about how someone who has been given so many chances ends up back in a prison cell. The Dec/Jan issue of VIBE hits news stands on Nov.30th.

VIBE: How did you get a drug habit?

T.I. : I had a lot of work done to my teeth. Oral surgery, extractions, six, seven, eight root canals. Between January to February. As soon as I got out, I had a lot of stuff done. In the joint, you eat shit that is unhealthy for you. I had fillings that fell out and stuff that had to get dealt with. Of course for the pain they gave me oxycontin and hydrocodone. And, mind you, on October 13, 2007, I had cut off everything―weed, alcohol. Then I get these pills and I start taking them for the pain at first. And then I’m like, Wait―this shit makes me feel good. And it’s legal. After the pain went away, I kept taking it. I had like five, six prescriptions. So I had, like 80 pills. Everybody else might have a drink or smoke a blunt, I took a pain pill. Times when I had 18-, 20-hour days, I’d take a pain pill. And eventually I developed―I guess―the beginning stages of dependence.

Streetz Alternative Radio @ streetz106.com EvErY SuNdAy 10 - 12am

During my college years at St. John's University, I ran my own radio show for 2 years (Junior and Senior year). I used to have a lot of fun, speaking about regular topics, and having control over what music I play on my own radio show. My show was called Gorillas in a Concrete Jungle, and got popular fast because because of my Freestyle Friday Show. I had the best dudes on campus come to the station to spit their bast freestyle, and before you know it, a lot of up and coming artists from Jamiaca, Queens decided to come through and lay down a freestyle. Unfortunately shortly after the momentum started to blast off officially, my father passed away and that devastated my mind-state.

Each and every Sunday T.I.A. and Bass ent. bring you "Streetz Alternative" from 10 - 12am! We feature great talent, interview relevant execs, models, actors and anyone relevant to the entertainment industry that is shinning.

The interview is just an example of how we get down in the radio studio. Shout out to DJ Naim and Trillogy for coming in for a fresh interview. Salute!!!
