T.I. Launches Video Blog On SOHH

Written By Janelle Griffith

With his highly anticipated Paper Trail album set to hit stores next week, T.I. is launching an exclusive “Guest Star” video blog with SOHH starting on Monday (September 29).

Throughout the week the self-proclaimed “King of the South” will talk about everything from his new clothing line, to his upcoming movie roles, to how he’s upgraded his lyrical prowess.

Tip told SOHH that after been criticized for being too commercial on his last disc, T.I. vs. Tip, he decided to take a totally different approach on his new LP.

“What I hear most is ‘T.I.’s just making radio music,’” he said. “’He’s not focused on lyricism anymore and we miss the T.I. from I’m Serious.’ The only thing I can see creatively that has changed is that I used to write lyrics down and now I’m coming off the top of the head, so I said well what if I started to write my lyrics down again?”

As for his clothing line Akoo, T.I. promises it will be as diverse as he is.

Tip also tells fans of his upcoming flick, Bone Deep featuring Idris Alba, Matt Dillon and Chris Brown. As a a producer of the film, Tip told SOHH, “It’s an action drama about some cool, fly, good-looking, well-dressed well-spoken, intelligent, articulate, bank robbers.”

Paper Trail will be released on Grand Hustle/Atlantic Records on September 30th.

To see everything T.I. has to say tune into his Guest Star video blog beginning tomorrow (September 29).

It’s not too late to nominate your favorite artists, bloggers or even yourself for an Online Hip-Hop Award. .
