PostHeaderIcon T.I. Wants Out, “…..I Have Obligations, Contractually”

The King of The South, T.I., has his wings now and can travel more now (even though he is still on probation). The Father, TV personality, Business owner, Rapper, Author recently was in New York for a performance. Before his show, he stopped by The Breakfast Club to speak about his budding label roster, his upcoming album Troubled Man, his family documentary, his other business ventures, and how he is ready to leave the game.

“This is what everyone fails to realize. I want out. I want out, man. What the game is going to and what has evolved into from a personality standpoint, it goes against what I represent. What I embody, this game contradicts that. I want out. I’m in it because I love music and I have obligations, contractually.”

“It was at one time, this music was about speaking to the people who felt like you feel. Now, the people I’m speaking to, they don’t necessarily feel like how I feel. In my day, if you were rapping about something you weren’t really living, that was a strike against you. You were held accountable. Nowadays, nobody even expects you to live up to the things you rap about. That goes against what I represent, what I stand for. So if they outsell me, then that’s just all the more better for me to fade to the back and cross my legs on my desk.”

Earlier this week, I sat down with Ashanti for the latest interview for Urban Informer Tv! Ashanti was very careful not to give too much details about her upcoming album, BraveHeart!
