He was kind of busy … in prison.

Yet another perfectly good reason to stay out of jail!

Spending nearly a year in jail really took a toll on T.I.'s life, both personally and professionally. We had no idea, but according to the rapper, offers to star in some pretty high profile movies came rolling in just about the time he was getting carted off in orange. So, he had to turn them all down.

But just wait till you hear the opportunities he missed out on! He says:

Happy 2012, T.I. fans!

The rapper revealed that he will be dropping his new mixtape F**k Da City Up on January 1, 2012, which will go hand-in-hand with his NYE parties in the dirty South!

He says:

"For New Year's I'm gonna be waitin' on F**k da City Up to drop. We got a party poppin' off down here in Atlanta, 200 Peachtree.

We gonna turn up and it's basically that. Between the party and the mixtape, that's all I got going. New year, new money. That's that."

T.I. collaborated with Dr. Dre on the new project, saying that the two of them have been "making chemistry" in the studio.

Talking about their collab, he added:

"Of course we can get together, he got hot beats and I got dope rhymes, so we can always get together and make music. But for people to feel what we're sayin' and for it to sound like a party comin' through your speakers, you gonna have to create some chemistry. So that's what we spent more time doin' than anything else; developing that chemistry."

Hey, we're excited!

Watch a teaser trailer for F**k Da City Up, featuring T.I. and Dre above!

Seriously, there is so much talent on this track, we're just waiting for our speakers to implode into themselves out of sheer excitement.

Getting Sleazy is Ke$ha's thing (also she likes beards), but maybe she should abandon the glitter and whiskey and concentrate on making this kind of music.

This is a SICK remix!

Check it out in the video (above) and listen to Wiz Khalifa, André 3000, T.I., & Lil Wayne get Sleazier on this remixed track!

T.i. and Tiny are trying their luck with reality TV.

The couple's new show, T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle, is set to premiere on VH1 Monday, Decemeber 5th.

The show will follow the couple and their six children through T.I's music career.

The couple premiered the pre-screening of the show in New York.

So T.I. and Tiny go on the Wendy Williams show to promote their new reality show, but Wendy is all about the "clarification."

She wants to know why T.I. fudged up with the law AGAIN after moving passed it the first time, but T.I. is quick to shut her down.

He clearly doesn't want to clarify anything but the tune-in information for Ti & Tiny: The Family Hustle on Vh1.

And when Wendy asks Tiny about the 50 Cent debacle, well….U'll see….. roll it!

B.O.B. has gone E.P.I.C.

His new mixtape, E.P.I.C, or Every Play Is Crucial, came out on Monday.

The mixtape features 15 tracks, featuring and sampling from Eminem, Lil Wayne, Mos Def, T.I, and The Throne (Jay-Z and Kanye).

B.O.B. is also working on his second studio album.

Strange Clouds is set to drop early 2012.

Ugh.

We were so proud of T.I. for his recent charity work with an Atlanta children's organization, but now he has gone and said something that just has us shaking our heads.

In a recent interview for Vibe's December issue, the rapper made some interesting comments on gay rights.

Even though the rapper allegedly "supports anyone's sexual preferences," he had no problem finding Tracy Morgan's recent controversial homophobic statements funny.

T.I. said:

"Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy say during a stand-up was, 'C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a dick, you can take a joke.' [Cracks up laughing.] That shit was funny to me. And it’s kind of true."

He then went on to say:

"They’re like, 'If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.'… That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace."

Aaaah! So conflicting!

Yes, we agree that everyone has a right to speak their mind and also has a right to live in peace, but his comments are ignorant. And NOTHING about Tracy's homophobic rant was funny.

You might want to think twice before you open your mouth on gay rights.

Doing something good with his freedom. That is something we can all be thankful for.

T.I. spent the day yesterday giving back to his community. He generously donated 300 frozen turkeys in Atlanta at a charity drive for children in need.

Of his good deed, he said:

"It's an honor and a pleasure to be able to be there and serve those who need me most in the community."

Good man! Tis the season, after all!
