T.I.’s AKOO (A King Of Oneself) clothing line hits stores on Nov.15th. Fellas, remember - Tip said if yo’ chick don’t like your swag when you wear AKOO, he’ll personally get you one who will. Better hold him to that.

First time voting, that is! He claims that other first time happened when he was 11 years old. Tip - I don’t believe you…

I found this interview on ATLien’s spot, and it had me laughing hysterically. I have to thank Chelsea Handler for asking Tip all the hard questions - you know, the stuff you always wanted to know, but were afraid he’d cuss you out for asking. This chick is too silly! Love that she asked about his “situation”. Tip answered that question in true player style. Kwame Kilpatrick would be proud!

In an interview with “Hello Beautiful”, T.I. is asked what kind of woman he finds attractive. His response - a woman should be a “respectable freak” - basically, a woman should be willing to experiment sexually with her man, because for every one that won’t - there are 10 that will. Interesting that he thinks that. And probably true only if you’re a ridiculously rich, successful jump-off magnet like Tip.

Tip done gone and got the internet ladies all worked up and offended over his comments, but I’m more concerned with those glasses.  What an unfortunate choice in eyewear.

I ain’t mad at ya though, Tip.

Speaking to the ladies of “The View” about lessons he’s learned since his arrest on weapons charges: “You’ve got to walk with God instead of walking with the guys. It took me a while to learn that.   [source]

Too cute! 7th graders debate the presidential election to the tune of T.I.’s “Whatever You Like”. A very imaginative way to engage the kids in the election process. Even cuter than Weird Al Yankovic’s version. This song hit #1 for a reason… [source]

Tip talks to CNN about straps, rugrats, and what he’s got to prove. Tip says he wants “as many kids as the Lord blesses him with.” That’s gon’ be a whole lotta kids, because the Lord IS in the blessing business!

GIANT Magazine takes us on a “behind the scenes” look at T.I.’s cover shoot.

T.I.’s “Paper Trail” is #1 on the Billboard 200, having sold 568,000 copies in first-week (U.S.) sales - making “Paper Trail” Tip’s third album (King, and T.I. vs.T.I.P. are the other two) to reach the top spot. If that’s not enough - Tip broke his own record when “Live Your Life” ft. Rihanna jumped from #80 to #1 on the Hot 100 chart.  It’s been a very good week for the King…

Congratulations, King! Keep laughin’ at the haters. Oh, and pics from Tip’s CD signing in Detroit after the jump…

If you just HAD to pick a swag (other than your own) - whose swag would you choose:
Jim Jones, or T.I?

I think Jay-Z said it best in T.I.’s “Swagger Like Us”: “know the n*ggas looking thorough when the girls say ‘YES’ .” Now, isn’t that what swagger is REALLY about - brother walks into a room, and all heads turn in a GOOD way?

Well, rapper Jim Jones thinks Tip has no swagger. Here’s what he had to say about T.I. to COMPLEX Magazine:

Complex: What about T.I?

Jim Jones: I don’t feel like he possesses any swag. Not like that. It’s fabricated. They’re watching other people, then they try and do it. You know people that dress like T.I.? You know people that go out and say let me get a T.I. outfit or do you know people who say “yo, you’re looking like Jim Jones?” Which one? Lemme hear it! When the bitches want to fuck you and the niggas want be like you, who got the swag? Niggas with money and fame always going to look like they doing something ’cause they got the camera in front of them. But the cool dudes always stick out no matter where they at.

Word on the net is that Jim Jones is just pissed at being left off of “Swagger Like Us”, and is working on his own track - entitled “Jackin’ Swagger From Us”,OR Swagger-Jackin’ From Us”, which will feature Lil’ Wayne, and  Juelz. Interesting, considering Lil’ Wayne spit - IMO - the weakest verse on “Swagger Like Us”. Read the full interview at Complex.

 This guy Jim Jones always looks unwashed, but I guess somebody might ♥ that look.
