The King Has NOT Returned…..

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

We all know Tip has been arrested on illegal drug charges, but you probably don’t know that he’s yet to return to ATL to face the music.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, T.I. is currently not back in the city after being detained in Los Angeles after making an illegal U-turn resulted in the discovery of alleged drugs such as marijuana and methamphetamine.

T.I., 29, reportedly contacted his federal probation officer immediately after he was arrested in West Hollywood. A deputy reported he pulled over the rapper’s luxury car, a Maybach, after it made an illegal U-turn. T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, were arrested around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and they were released from jail at about 4 a.m. Thursday after posting $10,000 bail each.

T.I.’s probation officer has told him to return to Atlanta.

One of T.I.’s lawyers, Ed Garland, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday he expected his client to be back in the city within 24 hours.

No hearing has yet been scheduled with U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell, according to his office.

Look, I know everybody is looking at me to say what you are all thinking, but I just don’t have the energy. Clearly some people can’t seem to realize how lucky and blessed they are thus the constant legal troubles. The first time I went in. This time what’s the point?

Drugs, weapons, multiple arrests = a thug to me. But he’s been saying that since day one so how mad can any of us really be. My heart goes out to the staff at Grand Hustle who put their blood, sweat and tears into keeping the label. and TI relevant, and hot in streets — and more important at his label. The people at Grand Hustle don’t deserve this.

It’s just a disgusting situation. One that needs to be analyzed, not sensationalized.

Breaking Blog: @Tip Arrested Again!

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

This simply can’t be happening AGAIN. Cnn.com is reporting that rapper T.I. was arrested early this morning and arrested for being in possession of a controlled substance.

The couple was arrested during a traffic stop in Los Angeles, according to a police report.  Police smelled marijuana, and both were arrested. The couple were released at 4:00AM on 10k bond.

This clearly won’t look good in the eyes of a judge. Tip is currently on probation after reaching a plea agreement in that extremely disturbing illegal weapons charges situation.

Let’s pray Grand Hustle can hold it together.

Update: via Tmz

Sources on the scene tell us “Tiny” and T.I. were taken to separate squad cars and transported to a local Sheriff’s station.

Movie Scoop: From The King of “The South” To Now Being The King of The Movies @Tip’s “Takers” Is A Hit!

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Update: Box office results recalculated make TI’s “Takers” the #1 movie in America!

Props to Atlanta rapper– turned actor– TI for being a consistent hit at the box office. Rainforest Films’ “Takers” came in at #2 this weekend accumulating 20.3 million dollars in hits first week.

This is huge seeing as though the #1 movie was “The Last Exorcism,” which opened up in close to one thousand more theaters.

Per Deadline Hollywood:

Sony/Screen Gems’ Takers on Saturday was up +4% from Friday which put the crime thriller at $20.3M for the weekend if Sunday holds. That’s a surprisingly close second-place finish considering it had been tracking so weakly prior to release.

The genre film label thought all was lost, especially after it had waited years for filmmaker John Luessenhop to take care of his ill son. But this is why Sony Pictures pays marketing/distribution czar Jeff Blake the big bucks: He sent rap star T.I. on 10-city, 20-day tour to promote the pic.

According to my sources, Matt Dillon was scared to do publicity for it, Hayden Christensen hated the pic, Chris Brown was otherwise engaged, and Paul Walker was busy making Fast & Furious 5. So that left Idris and T.I., who’d just signed a 3-picture deal with Sony and whose Grand Hustle Entertainment was “Taker’s” producer along with Wil Packer’s Rainforest Films.

“Screen Gems told T.I., ‘We’re going to market this movie on your back.’ He went and busted his nuts.” Idris personally hosted nearly 15 screenings in major cities around the country in the days leading up to the opening.

ATL Blog: @Tip & @TinyMajorMomma Upset W/ Guests Who Twittered Their Private Moment!

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

[Pic taken from @TheRealRC]

It seems celebrity guests of TI and Tiny’s special, and private, wedding day has been ruined at the very people who claim that bloggers are the ones not to be ethically trusted.

It seems like pictures I posted, that I got off V103’s On Air Personality, Ryan Cameron’s twitter page, were explicitly banned by both the King of the south, and his budding Bride.

I hear TI is said to be livid and has demanded that all guests take down the ultimate violation. Some phone calls suggest that Tip also is extended this demand to the bloggers, but nobody’s called me.

Personally, I find this story to be the most ironic of the month. Let us all think before we talk negatively by the bloggers of the world, who weren’t even invited to keep the event intimate.

ATL Blog: @Tip Honors K.I.N.G. Camp Graduates W/ New Laptops!

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

In the spirit of posting the bad, as well as the good, Grand Hustle’s T.I. was getting his philanthropy on last night as the arguable King of the south honored a gang –wait, that verb doesn’t seem appropriate–  a group of young black kids from the inner city with a ceremony for completing a summer camp program titled “K.I.N.G. Camp”

Per Freddyo.com:

The awards included accolades in conduct, leadership, sportsmanship, and academic achievement. Ambassodor Andrew Young and Mayor of Atlanta Kasim Reed were also present. The idea of the camp was to take the kids from their current mind frames to future leaders in the community. After completing a 12 week summer camp, all the campers received certificates and laptops as a gift from T.I.P.

Shouts to you Tip. You know I take my jabs, but at the end of the day the kids are the future, so for you to recognize it says alot about ones character. Good job, sir!

ATL Blog: @Tip & @Tinymajormama Wedding Secrets Revealed + Which ATL Blogger Is Pissed They Didn’t Get An Invite!

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Well what the hell is going on. Im gone for a few days handling business, and the whole entertainment world is getting flipped upside down.

First off I apologize for my absence, but Gyant is making moves these days, so I’ve been in heavy meetings. Nothing I can discuss just yet, but trust me the news is coming to light more and more with each passing day. But enough on that lets get into the mess.

There’s an interesting new rumor circulating that TI and Tiny’s Miami wedding is being met with hate, anger and dismay from a popular male blogger. If you didn’t know the word on the streets is that Tiny and Tip are to wed next weekend in Miami with a big celebrity bash.

Apparently according to Rasha Entertainment Blog, a male blogger, who wasn’t invited to their nuptials is upset because they feel that they’ve supported the hip-hop couple so much over the years that they should’ve been invited.

Though some have speculated that the angry blogger is moi. I’ll have to tell you that I am personally far too busy to be worrying about whatTip and Tiny are doing. I send them my luv, and wish them the best, but we’re not friends thus I feel no entitlement to any Grand Hustle events both public or private.

But seeing as though there are only like 7 male bloggers, 5 of them out of Atlanta, I can only imagine which blogger is pissed.

Anyway, according to the rumor mill this is guest list:

Atlantic Records Executives
Lebron James
Diddy
Jay Z & Beyonce
Judy Greenwald (Atlantic Records)
Kevin Lyles
DJ Toomp
Ryan Cameron
Trey Songz
Kandi Burruss
Chelsea Lately
Young Jeezy
Attorney Dwight Howard
Antonia Carter
Jason Geter
Keri Hilson
Tyra Banks
Chris Brown
Monique
DJ Khalid
DJ Greg Street
Jamie Foster Brown

Hhhm no Amare Stoudemire? I wonder what happened there.

The rumor is that Tip’s wedding pictures are expected to pull in over 300k to get published. Um, I think someone’s a tad bit ambitious don’t you think.

ATL Blog: @Tip Pushes Back “King Uncaged” To 9/28!

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Could there be some trouble brewing behind the scenes regrading Grand Hustle General T.I.? Who’s to say now that world has broke that Tip’s new album “King Uncaged,” has been pushed back.

Per HipHop Dx:

T.I.’s upcoming album – his first since his release from prison – King Uncaged, has been pushed back to September 28.

Revealed on Amazon.com, the new release date is the latest example of a Hip Hop artist whose album has has dropped later than expected – a laundry list that includes the likes of Drake, Game, Diddy, Rhymefest, and N.E.R.D.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, T.I. compared the album to 2Pac’s return-from-prison release, All Eyez On Me, and that he would refrain from gun talk on the release.

I know that T.I.’s team definitely wanted to have his new musical project, coincide with his new movie “Trailers.”

Personally, I don’t see the point in even having release dates anymore. Wait, isn’t September 28th Tip’s birthday? I know it’s right around that time. Hhhmmmm

If you can’t tell by the slow posts, I was in Los Angeles for the 2010 BET Awards. BET gave “The Gyant,” the only blogger in the world, all access to its prestigious awards, including the live red carpet.

Checkout what happened when I ran into Diddy [he quickly changes his course], Ricky Ross [who doesn't care for the bloggers of the world], T.I. & More.

Also, be sure to check out a rare appearance by Los Angeles blogger — turned radio host B. Scott. And special shoutout to original – and only if we can be honest — Queen of 106 & Park Free, who is nothing short of amazing.
