I had no idea who TI was until 24’s came out. I didn’t hear I’m Serious until a few years later and I downloaded off live wire. It was a good album and I liked I’m Serious the single and the remix but TI didn’t find himself as an artist on Trap Muzik imo

Schooling people takes forever; don't bother
TI on I'm Serious (2001)

Picture me doin' bad even if I wouldn't rappin'
Picture me even breathe on the mic not snappin'
I'm fire hot not lukewarm, my arms frozen
Picture me in a room full of hoes unchosen
Picture me with no P.O. and no 'dro
Picture pimps walk with some broads and ain't gettin' no 'tho
L.A. gone and I ain't gotta deal no mo' (Picture that)
And Ghet-o-Vision ain't real no mo' (Picture that)

50 cent on Places To Go (2002)

Picture a perfect picture, picture me in a pimp hat
Picture me startin' shyt (Uh-uh), picture me bustin' my gat
Picture police mad, they ain't got a picture of that
Picture me bein' broke, picture me smokin' a stack (Aw, shyt!)
Picture me comin' up, picture me rich from rap (Uh-uh)
Picture me blowin' up, now picture me goin' back (Woo!)
To my momma basement to live, shyt, picture that

...but both probably got the 'picture me' idea from 2pac's picture me rollin

TI in the I'm Serious video: buys a car and runs thru the glass window of a dealership

50 Cent in the Stunt 101 video: buys a car and runs thru the glass window of a dealership

50 remixed TI's 24's to '44s and calicos' with g-unit and TI remixed that g-unit remix with PSC

:patrice:

that shyt is from a movie scene from the 80s tho

It flopped. A handful of people messed with it, but the majority were not feeling it. IMO it was just a bad match - TI, Beenie & Neptunes..some combo of it worked, but not altogether.

I was in college, and my homie..a female...must've had the white label or something. She ran that song non-stop, and this was 99-00...prob Spring '00. No one else on campus liked it

Nobody cared:manny:

A lot of nikkas didn't even know about it. The video barely came on Rap City and got way more play on BET Uncut:mjlol:

T.I. didn't make noise until 24s/Neva Scared

For what it's worth the video does belong in rap video fukkery history books for this nikka driving out of the dealership window like a lunatic:mjlol:

It was hot in my city, but I was in southern VA at the time. I rocked with the video too.
