ATL BLOG: What's Up With The Lip Synching, T.I.?, They Say Hindsight is 20/20, Plus, Watch Some SOHH Gyant Bloopers [Video]!

Written By SOHH Gyant

I got an email from someone who accused the self-proclaimed “King Of The South” of lip synching at this year's MTV Video Awards.

They claimed that T.I. was behind on the track SOHH you could hear him and it sounded awful. Dubious, I decided to check out the video one more time to make sure.

I tried my best to watch the actual live show, but after watching them prop poor Britney Spears at an obvious attempt to win back her audience, I muted the TV and took in the award ceremony the quiet way.

But, after looking at the video one more time I’ll be damned. He was right, kinda!

To me it looks like lil homie was rapping. It’s just not clear to me as to why he was doing it? If you’re rapping why would you need to lip synch anything?  Perhaps Rhianna was the cause.

I’m not sure if this is an actual big deal or not. Maybe rappers prefer the DAT tape [do they even call them that anymore] like singers do.

When I attended Jeezy’s concert last week I didn’t notice any lip synching.

But Let's Move On.....

Cliff is making headlines over a revealing tell all interview with Rolling Stone magazine. The embattled rapper confesses shocking details in that interview. A piece of it is below:

During rehearsals for the show in Atlanta, where he was scheduled to perform, the MC stopped in the parking lot of a local shopping center to pick up three unregistered machine guns and two silencers that his bodyguard had purchased for him a few days earlier.

“I had a feeling in the back of my mind that something wasn’t right,” T.I. says now. “They weren’t talking right. But I thought I was above situations like that. I was on some ‘Nah, that can’t happen to me’ shit.” The gun dealers turned out to be agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. T.I.’s bodyguard had been arrested four days earlier and was cooperating with the police. “Ain’t nothing like having the feds watch you,” he says. “I’m safe.” But in a deeper way, he says, the experience has helped him reconnect with his faith. “I was walking with guns,” he says.

“This situation has taught me that it’s better to walk with God and just have faith that his will supersedes any stupidity that could go on around you.”[Source]

That's why I like T.I. because after its all said and done he's a man who can step up and admit to f*cking up. You kids better take to his story. Because if it can happen to him and it can for damn sure happen to you.

 

Y’all already know that I’m still pissed about what happened last week at Jeezy’s concert.  And though my camera man got hemmed up and our footage was taken, I forgot that I did capture a limited amount of footage on my new flip camera. Check it out.

Talk to y’all lata,

Man hasn't anybody noticed that the majority of rappers either; a) completely lip synch their songs, or b) have the complete track plus lyrics in the background while they rap like half the lines. TI did the latter on the show,u could tell, but damn near everyone else does it, especially the shittier rappers. Lil Wayne fer sure does his shows legit, maybe Jeezy. I'd expect TI to do so as well it just basically shows your a professional I mean they aint rockin crazy guitar solos or streaching their vocal chords to extreme ranges, just spittin rhymes

I don't think it was a huge deal that T.I was rapping, but i do think Rihanna was the cause. She WAS MORE OFF KEY than anything. She sounded horrible all night. I'm not mad at T.I. Maybe it was done that way because of the skit he did before it? I dont know, i just know that I T.I still my homie man.

I luv TI and don't really care whether he lip synched or not. But I'm on the fence about him walkin a righteous path.
