T.I. Talks New Single, 'I'm Back,' Announces New Album

Just hours after Lil Wayne was sentenced to one year in prison on weapons charges, T.I. gave the world notice that he's returning with a vengeance. The King of the South announced to a select group of DJs in a conference call that his new album is coming out on August 24 — and, as expected, he released his new single, "I'm Back."

"I ain't never let you down, I'mma shine on sight," Tip raps on the song. "Keep your mind on your grind and off of mine's, all right?/ Hard, I'mma ball on those squares, I flow/ A quarter million dollar cars everywhere I go ... No matter what they doin' they don't do it like me ... recognize I'm back."

Later in the first verse, Tip lays the fiery, brash delivery he's beloved for.

"You ain't got a pimp bone in your body," Tip chastises, throwing thunder at fraudulent MCs. "I can tell you ain't never bought a key or caught a body/ N---a probably just seen Wayne, Gucci Mane, me and Boosie all go to prison/ Now he flip his whole image/ N---a trippin'/ Listen, dude, for you that ain't in the cards." The song was helmed by new Grand Hustle producers the Trackslayerz, and is available for download at T.I.'s Web site.

An hour before the song hit the Internet, Tip held the conference call, for which he did not take questions but reflected on the song and announced his album's release date, according to audio of the call posted on DJ Judge Mental's Web site. There is a title for the LP, but he declined to reveal it.

HIP HOP NATION GOES TO JAIL


Lil Wayne turned himself in to authorities Monday (March 8) after multiple sentencing delays for a July 2007 gun-possession charge.

A near riot broke out in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court Building when the superstar MC entered, escorted by police and his Cash Money crew. Photographers aggressively angled to capture the last images of the rapper before he was formally sentenced to one year in prison.

Dressed in black jeans, a black shirt and a gray jacket, Lil Wayne made his way in, before Judge Charles H. Solomon sentenced the rapper. The New Orleans native sat next to his lawyer, Stacey Richman, without addressing the court.

After Solomon reminded Wayne of his charges, the rapper firmly nodded that he understood. Police then handcuffed Lil Wayne and he stood up to be taken away.

He paused momentarily before leaving and nodded to Cash Money execs Birdman and Slim, who were present in the courtroom. Just like that, Wayne was gone.

The rapper reached a deal with prosecutors in November to plead out to a lesser deal, and in return, he is expected to be released from prison as early as October. In 2007, Lil Wayne was arrested for attempted gun possession following his first headlining performance in Manhattan at the Beacon Theatre. New York is among the toughest states in the country when it comes to gun-possession laws. In other states, Lil Wayne could have gotten off with a misdemeanor rap and probation. However, in New York, only law-enforcement officials and those affiliated with authorities are permitted to carry firearms.

HIP HOP COMMUNITY MISS LIL WAYNE


Now that Lil Wayne has been sentenced to one year in prison following several delays, the reality is setting in for his fans and friends. No one in the hip-hop community wants to see Weezy leave, and rappers also realize they need to run tighter ships in Wayne's absence.

Wayne, like I like to call myself, is a trap-aholic," Young Jeezy told MTV News last week in New York, hours before he brought Weezy onstage at Madison Square Garden as a surprise guest during Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 Tour. That performance — which also included Nicki Minaj and Drake — would be Wayne's last before he went to jail.

I think we gonna miss a certain energy that Wayne has," Diddy said. "The beauty about it is, he'll be back, and hopefully he'll come back a better person. Whenever we get in trouble, we're in the public spotlight. So hopefully there's a lot of kids out there who could learn from any mistakes that we may have put ourselves in, even if we're not guilty of the crime sometimes. We are human. People have to learn: 'Make sure you know where you're going, who you riding with, what the situation is.' We're targets. I'm just happy he doesn't have to do a lot of time and that he'll be out, and hopefully he'll use the time wisely and use it in a positive way."

WHERE IS OLUMAINTAIN..

It was like yesterday when the whole nation was held by the spell of popular music artist OLUMAINTAIN, with the music track "YAHOOZEe". We cannot deny d fact that even the unborn swings its arm in the air when the song is played. Both old and small jostle for comfort especially when d chorus is on " YAHOO OO YAHOO OO, TIm ba hama, first thin na hummer, one million dolla..." All hands in d air doing d yahooze style(no be small tin) some churches even adopted it as a slang, and a cultural dance. As a Dj it is inevitable that yahooze must b played over and over again. That brings me to the rumour that the song went intensive doctoring usin "JUJU" That is charm. Some even argue that the song was not originaly sang by Olu Maintain. Well so many have been said and history has taken its place. Former United State Secretary of states Collin Powell danced to the admiration of the world during one of Artiste numerous shows Abroad. WILL THE ARTISTE "OLU" EVER SING A SONG LIKE YAHOOZE AGAIN? Wait wait, WHERE IS OLUMAINTAIN?

Indomitable Blues.



I hope my fans will accept my fate on dis issue even dose dat are not with chelsea will agree wit me dat chelsea deserv d Barclays Premiership Cup dis season. This is not just a mere statement but a fact consedering there impresive outing in d last home and away games and an impresive and dominating match against d young gunners. With abt 27 home games unbeaten and impresive build-up plays in every game. Chelsea is still on top of d table wit impresive 4 points ahead there rival Man.U.

A new Begining

It still remain a mirage how vice president Goodluck emerge as Acting president of Nigeria. I believe by now d executives dat never wanted him president will be in d mood of fasting and prayer because d table might turn around 4 dem now dat he has taking over d helm of affairs by luck once again. Lucky Good luck.
