Just when we thought everything is going smoothly for our man, TI, somebody just has to come up with stuff against him. Tip is still serving time in a halfway house in Atlanta after being released from prison last December, but now he got entangled with the law again. This time, the lawsuit came from Nathan Filby, better known as Rapper Motoe Blizzid, who alleges TI used parts of his song “Reverence” which was launched in 2004 and only distributed to the industry insiders.
RadarOnline.com reports that in the legal documents, Filby claims that TI’s Grammy-award winning track, “What You Know” shares the “same rate of harmonic range” and states the two recordings have “nearly identical instrumental melodic lines in terms of pitch, shape, and rhythm”. Filby is seeking damages and profits derived from that song.
It’s just so ironic that these sort of things always happens after a song became a hit. Whatever happened pre-Grammy, man? We’re just sayin’.
To cheer everybody up, here’s Tip’s “What You Know” video. Hope this blows over real quick. TI deserves a break!
Who’s up for a limited edition AKOO G-Shock Chronograph watch? You gotta beat us to get one because there will only be one thousand, we repeat, one thousand pieces of them produced.
TI’s AKOO Clothing line collaborated with G-Shock watches to create a limited signature chronograph. The AKOO X G-Shock watch will be available in one colorway which represents AKOO’s corporate colors: Purple -which represents royalty, Gold – which represents power and White – which represents purity. It’s absolutely awesome, just take a look:
Even the packaging is really cool. Tip must be so proud.
Jason Geter, AKOO co-founder and Grand Hustle CEO is also proud. He stated:
“We’re excited about the opportunity to collaborate with G-Shock. The AKOO edition is an extension to their consistent track record. We can’t wait for our AKOO family and customers to get their hands on it.”
The AKOO X G-Shock Chronograph will be available in stores at March 15th, 2010 and will retail for $180.00. Save up, people, this watch is really something you don’t wanna miss. Remember, there will only be 1000 pieces of them. Be a part of history!
The first few official pictures from TI’s upcoming motion picture, “Takers” are out. Tip stars with Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Hayden Christensen, and Zoe Saldana, in the movie that was previously titled “Bone Deep”, which the story revolves around a criminal group that plans for a money depot heist.
Our friends over at Rap-Up.com got them and here are a few Tip for your viewing pleasure!
“Takers” was originally scheduled to hit the theaters on February, but recent reports said that the movie’s premiere won’t take place until May 14th, 2010.
The official pictures are out now. We can’t wait for an official TI post-prison pictures. Come on, aren’t you hoping for the same thing too?
Former Grand Hustle associate and TI’s protégé, Alfamega, hasn’t been in his greatest luck, lately, the latest misfortune being his daughter being assaulted randomly in Atlanta’s Club Crucial that so happens to be owned by TI. But he’s starting 2010 with new optimism. Alfa told Allhiphop.com that he’s been working on a tell-all book and guess what, he’s written six chapter already.
“I been writing my book though, that’s all I been doing. It’s about my life, everything that happened, giving it real, the whole scenario of what went down with the court stuff, the guy [drug dealer Ali Baager], me and Tip and everything. The name of the book is titled Displaced Loyalty and Revenge. [I've written to] about the sixth chapter.”
Somehow we’re intrigued ‘coz dude can write. Remember his open letter to TI? Most probably using a ghost-writer isn’t an option for Alfa.
Will Tip comment on this? We shall all wait.
