Chapter 2: How has T.I. transitioned from music to comedy?
You just get what you give. I just feel like, man, God has blessed me so much. I have so much more to contribute to the world than just trying to speak ill of someone else and trying to diminish what someone else is building. That's not my way. I don't, I just don't, I don't got, energy to invest in something to destroy. I don't want to do that.
I'd rather, I'd rather focus my energy on building things.
Absolutely. Yeah. Cause that, that, that distortion going to come back on y'all ass.
It's going to come back. You know what I mean? One way or another it's coming.
I think a lot of people assume that once you drop the last album, it was six years ago, and then you pivot into comedy that we done with rapping.
I wish that were the case. Nah, for real, I wish that were the case. I was enjoying myself tremendously. I went golfing. I ain't bushing, dog. You grew the hair out, everything. I was doing comedy. I was vacationing, traveling, seeing the world, owning off boats and islands. I was really traveling with my golf club. I golfed in Barbados. Man, I done golfed all types of places, man. Just chilling.
But I do believe that if you've had a career like mine, you don't just disappear off into the shadows. You have to. you have to put a punctuation at the end, period, exclamation mark. It got to be something there. And this is my punctuation. I said this is what it was gonna be, so did what it is. So I paused my retirement. But I know what it feel like. And I know I like it.
You know you can get back to them. You know what I mean? So I'm going to do this. I'm going to get back to that. Yeah, for sure. You know, what's that golf game look like though? Man, it's getting better.
Yeah.

You know, I look at it, I have one good hole. Every round, you know, you got 18 holes.
Chapter 4: What challenges did T.I. face during his comedy career?
I had one good hole every round and I had one good shot every hole. You know what I'm saying? And that's good enough for me for right now, man. I'm gonna work till, you know, I might get two good holes in a round this year. Cause these are last year's stats. You know what I'm saying? That was last year. This is a new year. The season is about to begin.
I played my first nine holes the day of the year. You know what I mean? I did pretty good. I actually had two good holes. I had two good holes in a half a round. So who knows, this year could be better. But everybody sucks at this game. Everybody sucks at this game. Some suck less than others. But everybody sucks. The best in the world you'll see throw their club in the lake.
They're very frustrated. It's a difficult game. It's a you versus you versus the weather. See, a lot of people, you know, they be trying to They make themselves feel good about sucking by trying to find someone that sucks more than them. And they want to play right now. Yeah, I bet you did. Hey, hey, hey, play the course, sir. You know what I'm saying? I ain't here to beat you.
I'm here to beat the course.
That part. Yeah, because it's a self-versed self-game. I was around golfers. It's discipline. Yeah, for sure. Discipline. I've been around black golfers quite some time, man.

But you didn't find nothing to fall in love with about it? He wasn't letting me fuck with the game. He was like, you want to learn how to play the game? You got to do this, bro.
You got to learn the other part of it. What was the other part? Scooping them damn balls up. And then I was like, man, this was not what me and my grandma agreed on. And who is this, your uncle? Yeah. He was like, that's my little sister, so she don't tell me what to do. Well, speaking of boats and vacationing, let them know for some background. Pharrell made the beat on a yacht. He did.

I'm speaking to the range though, because with Tunk, with someone like a Jazzy Fade, you've always been able to kind of showcase a range of not only trap music, but having fun, being a ladies man. Soulful Southern. Soulful Southern shit. You understand what I'm saying? So how important was it for you to get back in there with someone like a DJ Tunk?
Man, Toop is mandatory in my career. If I'm Snoop, that's my Dr. Dre. For sure. That's my fundamental go-to. He has the sound of my core. You know what I mean? I feel that that's where I'm probably... The shit that I need to have for Pharrell to be like, oh, okay, I see where you at. That come from too. You know what I'm saying?
And then once we do that, when we build that, then Pharrell be like, okay, I see what we doing. Then he take that and then he go somewhere else. and all this shit come together.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, that range. But the core, it gonna start with... It's like getting to your spot in basketball, basically. Once I figure out my spot and I know that shot going in, then we can go play around a little bit. And real? Same thing, Jazzy Faye. And speaking of Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre on this album, working with Organized Noise. You calling on the legends.
It's legendary, but I want to know.
It's my last album, so I want to work with everybody that I ain't had the chance to work with. I don't want to leave nothing on the floor. You know what I'm saying? I'm calling everybody that I always wanted to have an opportunity to work with. Like, hey man, let's work.
