Louis Vuitton, Gucci Halt Release Of T.I.'s 'Swing Ya Rag' Video

Although the Swizz Beatz produced "Swing Ya Rag" was set to come out as a brand new video off T.I.'s latest album, Paper Trail, some companies mentioned on the track didn't want the attention.

The rapper told MTV recently that he has a video set and ready to go, but it's going to stay in the vaults.

"We did it, and it came out hot," Tip said of the video. "Louis [Vuitton] and Gucci started trippin' about it. They were saying we were infringing, in one way or another. They weren't happy about it. They didn't want it to come out. But it's hot, though."

So, instead, the King of the South has moved on, and a video for his latest single, "Live Your Life" with Rihanna, is on the way, and possibly one coming for "Swagger Life Us," hopefully.

"I hope we can pull that off," he told MTV, which would feature Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. "That was the definite intentions initially. We have to see when everybody is all available. I'm available whenever they are."

In the meantime, T.I. is gearing up for his tour and will be shooting a film titled "Bone Deep."

Dolemite Is Dead

A bad motherfucker died today.

I think I first became aware of Dolemite’s voice because of “Big Daddy Vs. Dolemite”. After that I was in tune, and that was from early high school up through college. I wish I could quote off line after line, but in school we used to sit up in my Memphis aggins Shawn & Scooby’s dorm room, blow back-to-back (and back again) Swishers and watch Rudy Ray Moore’s work & all types of old Blaxploitation flicks. So it’s not that I can’t remember the best of his best…I was just too damn twacked to recall the majority of the shit I heard.

All I remember is laughin’.

What I walked away knowing is this whole signifying monkey shit and track with Kane are the essence of shit-talking. And, I know that Black comedy lost one of it’s raunchiest (but unheralded) forefathers
