... six months of house arrest. Promotions for his platinum T.I. vs. T.I.P. came to an end. The kibosh was put on the single "Hurt" and its video. Any chance of dropping another LP at the top of ‘08 was thwarted quick. Movies, endorsements — everything shut down. He says his arrest probably cost him between $10 million and $12 million.

... 10. T.I. I personally feel that T.I. should move up, Snoop shouldn’t be on there anywhere, Rick Ross should be moved down, and Jeezy and Lupe should move up a bit.

His album isn't slated to drop until later this year, which could be 2009 in Andre time. It's all good, as long as all this teasing of his excellence results in another classic opus. 10. T.I.
