NOTE to VIDEOGRAPHER, don’t shoot a video waist up with a short man, make him look taller and shoot him from the top down so he’ll look like he’s taking up a lot space and not vice versa…

whatever inch of hope that I had about giving T.I. another chance has completly diminished after this song and it makes me really sad, and even more sad that black folks just aren’t getting it.
Murder is like the number one killer of young black men in the UNited Sates, and after being convicted—- actually pleading guilty— to such a serious charge he comes out with this song that includes lyrics like:
“I’m officially the realest, point blank, period”
“And suckas will get served better know this”
Real because you had unregistered guns? what if you shot at my own brother? And served, in what way?
He still on the “ig’nit” stuff. Dang T.I.

Did you expect anything less? T.I. is authentic, thorough, consistent, and the BEST rapper alive!! He continues to prove how valuable he is to “hip-hop”….even the BET Awards wasn’t the same without him there performing or accepting an award. The song is sick and one of the most inspirational songs from a rapper. Anyone can take this message and apply it to their life. He is a beast lyrically!! Never under-estimate the KING….Point.Blank.Period!!

I am really feeling this track real talk. I have always been a T.I. fan ever since 24’s and I am feeling this single. It’s a dope track and I love how his voice flows over the beat. He doesn’t need to throw in a bunch of metaphors or rap hella fast he’s just telling his story. I love how he describes how God took him through hell to get him to heaven. I’m just loving this song and the video compliments the song. He doesn’t need half dressed women or a tricked out car to express what he’s gone through. Tiny is a lucky woman because this song made me fall in love w/ T.I. all over again! He just has that swagga that you can’t forget or ignore and I love that ATL accent! Love him and love this!

I like T.I. and all, but you write a song like that when you’re getting locked up for soemthing you didn’t do. He committed a crime! It wasn’t like he is being falsely accused or something. It’s like he wants us to feel sorry for him or feel the pain he is going through. It’s his fault he is going through it. Besides the losses he had in one year, no one made him go out and try to purchase an arsenal of firearms. Not feeling this song, I don’t feel for him one bit. Go do your bid and hopefully learn something from this…..

TI the only rapper besides legends like Nas, Rakim, Jay Z, Ice Cube, Snoop, etc. who can have the audacity to say he is the Best Rapper Alive. Been feeling the song and loving the video is simple and to the point.

Tired of this fake gangsta sh*t to be honest say do something better with your self talk about bettering yourself help these boys growing up who think there is only one way to survive and that’s crime,
Also now i’m not one to listen to 5 cent but he said TI is a snitch and come to think of it i was wondering how come he didn’t get 10 years for those guns this was the FBI people not the LAPD WTF that don’t make no sense to me maybe he gave up his supplier who knows but it rings true to me but whatever yall keep loving that fool until he shoots someone you care about then yall be saying he’s this and that don’t support it in the first place, it’s a shame rappers feel they can’t rap unless they talking about violence there was sucessful rappers talking sense and is but these fools 50 cent included like to encourage gun violence and it’s so sad

I didn’t like the song when i heard it the first time like 2 months ago, but i stuck with it cause i love me some T.I. I was like his biggest fan, then he went and did that foolishness and i was just turned off, i still love him but idn, he’s kinda gone down a little. The song is alright, good lyrics, don’t really like the video but it’s different. wonder what he’ll do for the next single

I don’t understand some people…comments like “he is so overrated” “he wants us to feel sorry for him”, “he committed a crime” blah blah blah!! Everyone in this country has committed a crime of some sort…if you had sex while you were in high school hell you committed a crime…lol. We are so brainswashed by our goverment and society standards. If the gov’t passed a law that permitted him to have all those guns you haters wouldn’t have anything to say….”what if he shot one of our black men?” somebody asked that stupid question…..that black man probably deserved to be shot!! You people act like it is a crime to want or need to protect yourself…Let me tell you like this….get in your car with some friends and drive down the highway…imagine a car full of niggaz pull up and start blasting at your azz…what do you do? You can’t judge this man..you have no clue what he has been through. We put rappers on some kind of pedestal and they become the poster child for everything that is wrong with the country. IF YOU DON”T LIKE IT DONT LISTEN….POINT BLANK PERIOD! Why did you click on the video? Why are you even visiting this site??? You know why? Because you luv this shit!!

Its about time!!! this is what rappers now a days need to bring to the table. Ti is maturing not only mentally, but lyricaly. If you listen, the ryhmes carry some weight ,real subtance. FINALLY…
I like Ti before he f ‘d up, but now I am more excited to see whats in store with this new album… This might be the album that puts him on top , the album that might have Kanye run for his money…..

I really like this. The direction of the video was simple, which was the best thing to do in this case, because so it make you pay attention to the lyrics. It has substance, explains what he’s went through, and that here he’s here to stay in the rap game. BTW Shawty Lo needs to sit down somewhere, he wasn’t hot to begin with anyway, but he’s officially done with this track lol.

Loved it! Nice simple video. TI looks handsome as ever too.Great message on dealing with adversity and challenges in life and not letting things defeat you or take you out. Although TI is going through something that he no doubt brought upon himself, it seems that he is facing the repercussions head on and has learned from it. Glad he is letting God direct his path. Stay strong TI and keep making those hits.

Yeswecan nailed it on the head, we put are rappers on a level so high that when they get caught doing something dumb we are quickly to turn our back on them and dismiss them as an ingorant ass nigga. But anyway why judge, let’s keep in mind that he is human and every human has the right to make a dump mistake once in awhile for folks like us were just not in the public eye so no one cares.

#33 JSTREET,
You CANNOT be serious, comin on here and tellin that half-baked story. I am a senior at Morehouse, and I was sitting right in the Leadership Center on the day TIP came to speak, albeit reluctantly.
The real “ASS” is the “Man” of Morehouse who thought himself so much better than formerly incarcerated, high-school-educated Clifford Harris that he felt he had right and/or privilege to heckle him without retaliation. And even then, the retaliation (during the forum) was only verbal, and came at the END of his address*.
It wasn’t until everyone got outside and the embarrassed heckler’s homeboy (was it you?) decided to reopen the case that things spun out of control.
Not many people at Morehouse expect that I am from Atlanta, but the fact is that TIP and I went to the same high school. I get so tired of AUC students’ shit; we’re so busy wallowing in our intermediary successes that we have the nerve to look down upon the people of the surrounding community, a community we claim we’re in school learning to uplift. That hypocrisy is disgusting.
Now, does TIP have much of my respect these days? Nope. But as a human being, as a man, he had it–and deserved it–right on up until he betrayed it and threw it away on his own. So did you, until.

first off all…al the haters out there who sayin shit like T.I. committed a crime and wants us to feel sorry for him can just go fuck themselves.
Did R.Kelly not get convicted of tht sex tape??
Did we not find guns in Lil Wayne’s tour bus AND catch him smoking weed? Yet we sat there and watched him at the BET Awards accepting Viewer’s Choice and performing
T.I. made a mistake i admit that but he now realizes the consequences of his actions and has to take full responsibility. this song was just recorded to tell America that he’s still King of tha South and aint nobody gonna take his crown away from him!! Love him forever!!! Nice vid too especially at the end when he’s let out of that lil elevator thing and is rappin in front of all those ppl

It’s easy for everyone who hates T.I. or his gun charges to criticize him. Criticism is almost always easier than creating a work of art. T.iI. bears both the honor of living a rich life as well as the grunt of protecting it. I commend T.I….even salute him…for pleading guilty and serving his punishment. I am, however, convinced that T.I. continues to live his life through his rear view mirror so to speak. He’s the same dopeboy that he use to be, only richer, with 5 more kids, and millions of people watching. I think the root of all his “violence” problems rests inside his resistance to change into who he could become. He’s famous for saying “be better than me”. Well I will celebrate the day T.I. becomes better than himself. He’s still the dopeboy, just older, richer, 5 kids more, and with millions watching. I’m not sad; I’m angry that he won’t give us more than just a hit song. Give us something we don’t expect, T.I. Don’t be so reactive…so predictable…so money, hoes, cars, clothes, and now…guns.

I don’t like it. It is contradictory to me image wise in an attempt to clean up / be deep. Dood has a family and kids and we should excuse his “mistake” of buying guns illegally (from feds no less), for what war?
Protecting your family includes being there and not doing anything to risk that, he risked that for what exactly? Booo hooo, he had it tough - so did everybody, who doesn’t have the same story, but the “men” are the ones that from the moment of becoming a man, they do what is best for those around them, this includes those for whom they set an example for (i.e. yall who look up to him and what he stands for).
If buying guns illegally is what a man does who purportedly makes millions and has a family (a big one) is a mistake - and isn’t considered dumb - then society needs to take a look at what a man is, and what actions done by a man should be deemed a “mistake”.
^ This statement no matter how you look at it is not “hating” it is the state of fact of what a man does when he becomes one - anyone who does otherwise in my book isn’t.
Song & Video & Artist, both lame to me…

Did I just hear an entire (gangsta) rap song without the use of the “N” word or profanity? Thank you T.I. for understanding that it is possible to make an intelligent, hit-making song without those distractions. In addion, you have made it possible for a middle-age woman, like myself, to enjoy the lyrics and music of a modern-day rap song. Thank you, T.I. I hope this song is indicative of the entire album.

#50 i see where you’re coming from, some ppl pull up on him and shoot at his car, killing his best friend and now he’s alittle paranoid so he go goes and buys all those guns. We really don’t know what the man has gone through and we shouldn’t judge. He’s trying to do better something now so…
