T.I. Cancels Next Video Release


So what Ever Happened 2 the Swing Ya Video?:

At this present time, the last thing T.I. needs is anymore legal issues, which is why the third offering, “Swing Ya Rag”, from Tip’s, Paper Trail set, will be canned due to infringement concerns raised by clothing brands, Louis Vuitton and Gucci. The track embodies both brands, specifically in the chorus, which is sung by the track’s producer, Swizz Beatz, “Take ya Gucci rag out and wave it round in the air, take ya Louis rag out and wave it round in the air”, raps Swizz.

T.I. and the Grand Hustle team were scheduled to release the “Swing Ya Rag” visual simultaneously with “What Up, What’s Happening”, but since both companies voiced concerns about the full-on presentation of their products, T.I. agreed on shelving the video, "We did it, and it came out hot," T.I. told MTV’s, Mixtape Monday of the video. "Louis Vuitton and Gucci started trippin' about it. They were saying we were infringing, in one way or another. They weren't happy about it. They didn't want it to come out. But it's hot, though."

Undaunted by both companies’ anal request, TI and company are already moving forward with the albums visual schedule and are gearing up to release a clip for “Live Your Life” featuring Rhianna and possibly the collabo heard ‘round the world, “Swagga Like Us”, which features Kanye West, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. T.I. says of the possible “S.L.U” clip, “I hope we can pull that off. That was the definite intentions initially. We have to see when everybody is all available. I'm available whenever they are."

Sad 2 hear we wont see a Swing ya Rag video, but i cant wait 2 see one 4 Swagga Like Us!!

So I like the list. Gotta listen 2 more from Charles Hamilton, Blu and Kid Cudi. I just think they forgot about The Cool Kids. And Drake. B.o.B is the best outta that list in my opinion, he raps/sings/ and produces. AND IS ONLY 19!! (By the way, Kid Cudi has on THE YEEZYS!!) Kanye said so, lmao.
