T.I is a FREE AGENT and says he will REMAIN THAT way unless he gets 50 million...

[L. Deezy]

U act like he don't have a management team and a co CEO of grand hustle Jason geter already in place. His next album is more than likely finished and he got soooo many connects and a established fan base he could pull this shyt off. Honestly all that nikka needs is a legit hit and he is gonna eat more than he have his whole career.

Im not gonna debate this.. a little team cant function as a corporation. Again, its not as simple as recording andputting a album out like here yall go. Indi is a different beast. Especially if you want to maintain a high level of success.

I guarantee you TI makes more now than he ever would eith an Indi. The checks he would have to cut on his own would be handicapping. This not Boosie dude. This TI

 

[Hood Critic]

He's worth 50 million if it's a 360 deal....Dude has a television show with VH1, a label, other businesses as well.

This^...he could get a $100M deal if he was willing to accept a 360 deal.

The ground work has already been laid tho from a cooperation. The nikka is a house hold name now, he already had over 70 songs from trouble man already done and was gonna use to put on his new album anyway, he already got a new song and video shot with lil Wayne, the nikka pretty much a good relationship with every mainstream artist, still got the show on vh1 that helps promote his music also, going on a nation wide tour with Wayne, French Montana, and 2chainz and if he can make a legit hit, he gone eat.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

hes not genuinely popular enough to go indie if he expects to maintain his same amount of "relevance".

atlantic and the media boosted the hell out of this dude.

whats next? and industry plant jumping ship to E1?

yea but whens the last time he dropped a legitimate hit that didn't need a chitload of airplay for it to pop off?

2006?

 

[L. Deezy]

Shyt is Hella funny..
All of a sudden people think boutique labels (Grand Hustle) can functiin like Sony..lol
Anybody can tell me why Roc Nation/Jay ain't go Indi?

 

[Canada Goose]

he has 0 crossover appeal now is what Im saying. You think any of these tweens who 100% control whats on the radio know who the fukk T.I is?

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR4TQFupVLI]T.I. - Guns and Roses feat. P!nk [Official Audio] - YouTube[/ame]




If he releases this single its easily a crossover hit.

then why hasnt he released it yet?

 

[Mac Casper]

Truth is a major label will probably give him the money just to prevent him from going independent, as he would represent a threat to their establishment

 

[NSSVO]

He wants to get a 360 deal. That's what he's speaking about most likely.

 

[darius19]

damn this place delusional

T.I. just went gold with basically no hit single (that trash with Lil Wayne wasn't a hit), still featured in other artists hit singles (the new Robin Thicke joint), etc

but he's not relevant anymore right?

Whatever u like 2008

 

[Tuc2DaBoot]

Coli nikkas.

Only on here would people think T.I. is still worth a $50 million deal.

You think a gold album and a TV show gets you $50 million?

And y'all still haven't learned that going independent doesn't mean you fare any better than without a major... in fact, a lot of artists do worse without a major.

Like Grand Hustle is about to rise from the ashes and shyt.

Clothing Line,Label Imprint, Movies, TV Show, and Rapping...... you saying that's not worth $50 Million over a set amount of years in a 360 deal?

Trouble Man was horrible

 

[MINT]

he is done tbh
