T.I. hit up the Tavis Smiley show the other day for a very entertaining interview.  Tip was in rare form as Tavis asked him about the rubberbands around his wrist (“Ice on one are, rubber bands on the other”) and explained that they keep him grounded and helps him remember where he came from.  The “A” town rapper also discussed his record breaking “Paper Trail” release and how house arrest made him stronger.

Tip never ceases to impress me. He also appeared on The View recently and I hate I missed it. I’ve been searching high and low for a clip but for some odd reason it’s dayum impossible to find.  If anyone has it or knows where I can find it, hit me up at ATLien@StraightFromTheA.com
