T.I., Jay-Z, Kanye West & Lil Wayne, the self-proclaimed ‘Black Brat Pack’ performed Swagger Like Us during the 2009 Grammy Awards show last night.? It was hands down MY favorite performance of the evening. The tuxedos, the black and white videography, the expectation that M.I.A. was gonna drop that load she’s carrying at any second…all combined to make this performance ROCK! Great job fellas…and M.I.A. 🙂

T.I.’s Blender Mag Spread + His Personal Tour of the “A” (Video)
T.I. and his youngest son Major are featured in the March 2009 issue of Blender Magazine. In the issue, Tip explains his reasoning behind their name choices:
?My kids would be the best representation of what I meant to this Earth. As long as they (are) able to fulfil their dreams, then I did something right. ?I want them to have high expectations. Ambition. And what better way than through their names? If people call you King, you?ll expect more of yourself.?
Tip admits in the article to being arrested at least 32 times. The 28 year old A-Town King, who is definitely not afraid of jail, also talks about how he’ll handle his upcoming year long stint which begins in March:
?Well, that depends on the facility. Some luxuries are available in some facilities that aren?t available in others. Some facilities have a TV, but you can?t watch it ?cause cats in there wild out so much. I?ll read the Bible a lot. Biographies, magazines. I don?t really read fiction. I read for information, rather than for entertainment. I?ll talk on the phone a lot. I?ll spend a whole day on the phone, checkin? on what?s goin? on, makin? sure things are taken care of. Ain?t a lot to do.? He says his fame won?t really make much of a difference: ?People are in awe at times about who I am. I can?t believe I?m in here with T.I., but that usually goes away in about three, four days. After so long, everybody just inmates.?
He’s a real stand up dude who has grown a lot. Check out this video I received yesterday from WorldStarHipHop of Mr. Harris giving a hilarious behind the scenes tour of Atlanta. From Bankhead to West End to the AU Center…he explains it all! Check it out below:
“The money f*cked me up? It might have…but I’d rather have the money f*ck me up than the streets.”

Flix/Video ~ Usher & JD in the Studio in Vegas + They Need More ‘Women of Color’ at the Party
Jermaine Dupri, Usher, Johntae Austin & Bryan-Michael Cox, and Tyrone (JD’s assistant) dubbed themselves ‘Ocean 5’ as they took over Vegas. JD documented their fun times on his Global14 site as they partied the nights away. Folks began to comment that the group were only spotted chillin with white girls and Ty aka “InTYnational” issued the following response:
This is a response to the comment made that the Ocean?s 5 don?t party with women of color. What ya?ll need to know is that we go wherever the party is? Whoever decides to come out is beyond our control, life is a menu and this what the nite ordered up at the time. The women of color need to get out of the crib and come party with us. Don?t worry about sweating out your hair. Don?t worry about having to get up in the morning. JUST COME OUT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND PARTY!!!! Get some alcohol in your system and go crazy! PARTYING IS NOT SITTING AROUND LOOKING AT EVERYONE ELSE PARTYING?THAT SHIT IS DEPRESSING, YOU MIGHT AS WELL STAY IN THE HOUSE. And for the record the Ocean?s 5 love ALL women! ESPECIALLY WOMEN OF COLOR!
Moving on…check out JD’s recent video escapades with the ‘Ocean’s 5’ below:
Video ~ Tiny’s Entrepreneurial Spirit + T.I.’s Midwest Invastion
T.I.’s wifey Tameka “Tiny” Cottle took a moment to chat with Sister2Sister’s Jamie Foster Brown the other day while preparing for the opening of her new nail salon. Tiny discussed her plans to focus on her business as well as her participation in an upcoming reality show which is rumored to also feature Toya Carter (Lil Wayne?s ex-wife), Kandi Buress (Xscape), and Joy Bounds (Lyfe Jennings’ baby mama). She expressed how Tip was hesitant at first because he’s such a private person and that he also felt that most reality show couples end up breaking up under the pressure. He eventually came around and supports her fully in the project.
I wonder if they have a title yet? I’m thinking ‘Superstar Baby Moms’ or ‘The Real Real Housewives of the A’…let’s see if they take my suggestions. 😆
Also, here’s a lil afternoon pick me up for you guys. Peep Tip’s midwest invasion as he and the entire Grand Hustle Family took over Columbus Ohio last week:
Shouts out to MirrorLove Productions for the video!

On a cold Saturday in New York City, the world?s largest train station came to a sudden halt. Over 200 ImprovEverywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. Check out the video below:
Hilarious! I wanna see someone try this in Underground… 😯 Read more about the prank over at ImprovEveryWhere.
