Zitat des Tages von T.I.:
I love BET and I love the fans.
I don't really like the sound of Auto-Tune. I don't like when it's extremely audible, when you're able to detect it easily. I don't like that.
Acting in film, you know, I hear all the time, people say 'You did so much better than I thought you would.' So there's an added element of surprise in film, different than in music.
I think my first hit was probably '24 is a Rubberband Man,' which was my second album. My first project, it was very well received in the Southeast region, all throughout the South and parts of the Midwest. It was very well received, but I didn't get national exposure on my second album.
You know, when I put out records that may not work or connect with the audience, it's because I'm pushing myself as an artist creatively, because I'm just bored doing what everyone wants me to do.
Let it be known: I am a free agent. I'm operating as an independent label. I do not have corporate sponsors. I don't have no corporate backing. I don't have no major distribution.
At the end of the day, I got to live my life for my family, for my children, and I'm going to do what's best for them.
I, myself, I am not interested in reality television; just me, myself, speaking.
People put me on a box, and I love when people think they know what I am capable of or not capable of. I thrive off of that.
My childhood name that my father gave me, my mother, my grandmother, grandfather, family and friends all call me T.I.P.
I'm going to always rise above the doubt that may exist about me.
I'm an honest, open father.
I've learned that one thing about my life that is certain is trouble.
