This new message from the incarcerated King just went up on his website.
What up world? Been a minute. I’d like to thank you all for the thousands of letters, cards, books, pictures and words of encouragement. I’m truly grateful. I’m sure you already know I’m nearing the end of this chapter of my life, and looking forward to taking all of the things I’ve learned with me while leaving all the rest of the “BS” behind. I’ve been tuned in somewhat to what’s been happening out there. I can’t even begin to tell y’all how much being on the outside looking in, having to witness all that’s going on (and not going on) in the game affects me. Not being able to do what I love especially. It’s like a whole other sentence within itself. But I really do appreciate all the love, respect, shout outs and salutations during this very difficult period in my life. Everybody from da homies Weezy, Killa Mike, R. Rozay my lil bruh B.o.B, Terrence J (106 & Park) and my “durty” Nelly. Regardless of whether the gestures were the greatest or the smallest, they still meant the world to me. REAL TALK. The separation from my art has definitely sparked an inferno of inspiration that will soon be felt by all. As a matter of fact, to show my appreciation to those that have been in support of me and granted the requests of TEAM T.I. I’ll be releasing a record in the near future (couple of weeks tops) to hold y’all over til I get back in action. During this time of seclusion I have developed a mind full of thoughts, ideas, plans and strategies of change to incorporate into my professional endeavors, as well as my personal lifestyle. But none of them is as strong as my determination to conquer my own imperfections and my will to WIN NO MATTER WHAT!!!
I love, respect and appreciate all those who have stood beside me and I have accepted those you didn’t. But one things for sure and two for certain. As long as the Most High blesses me with the ability to live and breathe….My campaign will continue!!! Stronger, smarter, bigger and better than ever. For those that doubt that…See me when they free me.Love King
So what do you think, is it completely over for this guy? I can’t see Tip ever really getting back to the level he was on during his peak years of ’04-’07. Say word he’s gonna come out of jail, again, and make noise in this era of Drake hooks and Maybach Music Group template hits. Shit, Jeezy has been running around free as a bird and he can barely keep his head above water, and he just dropped a pretty decent mixtape. I like Tip, so I hope he proves me wrong, but I just don’t see it happening. None of that shit he dropped between bids really moved me at all. I don’t know man, you’re lucky to get a five year run as a rap star without two jail bids on your books. One skid bid is cool and totally surmountable, but when you start making a habit out of it you’re just killing yourself . Just ask this guy. I suppose if Clifford’s career doesn’t reignite the way he’s hoping him and Plaxico can start up a support group for people who shoot themselves in the foot, both figuratively and literally.
