T.I. : Whatever You Like

Okay, okay, we know there’s another single waiting in the wings and all, but we just saw this clip over the weekend and felt it our civil duty to make comment on it. ‘Yagahahwin’. No wonder the poor lass behind the counter is looking confused and shocked at that comment – we’re similarly appalled by the lack of annunciation in T.I.’s first greeting. And there’s no introduction, no “yes, hello, I’m a famour rapper, you can call me Clifford and from this moment on, I’ll use no consonants in my speech”, oh no – he just barges on in with ‘Yagahahwin’. He then follows up this assortment of vowel sounds with the similarly muffled ‘Asafrahs’. Even when the song finally begins, T.I.’s words are so casual, so lazy, they’re teetering on the bring of being completely inaudible. ‘Yucahawad Ewuh You Lihyg’. Perhaps we’re just too old fashioned, but are the kids these days REALLY calling this music?
