or Eve'll Genie Us.  Directed by Yellow Nguyen and Moosa, this visual is deep, dark, and full of emotion like that of the song.  Anytime he mentions Alori .. i think of Tony.  Variations in the story, but many similarities.  I wasn't ready for the ending.  It got to me.  Do What Thou Wilt in stores now.

Tony.

The moment I pressed play, an immediate head nod.. smile.. and glassy eyes followed.  Memories of us riding out playing this all the time nodding to each other singing the words is one of many of the precious moments.  Remember.. I even switched the Lil Kim flip to 'Hold you down Tony!" lol and you'd do the unforgettable smile you always gave.  1/16 is always harder than your birthday because it's the day I lost you.  I wish time healed all wounds, but some cuts seem to be too deep.  You are missed beyond word description.  

Playing this in your honor... may even rock ya necklace today.  Tell my grandmothers' I said Hello and I love and miss them too.  Rest in peace baby.  Always in my heart- Love, T.I.

#HoldYouDown.

Time Warp... 2004 : Whole City Behind Us | Kanye West x Game x Ludacris

Circa 2004.

Time Warp hasn't been posted since June 3rd. That's crazy. It doesn't even feel that long.
What better way to bring back the series than to start with this banger here. Arguably, one of Ye's top 10 productions thus far. Bananas.

Sn: Tony, you know on your birthday… Saturday.. I had the worst day. I talked to you about it. You, also, know why I didn’t make your usual birthday post. I talked to you about that too. Nevertheless, I couldn’t go forth without dedicating anything to you in lieu of it. Remember, when I wrote a whole 16 about you and I ‘started from the bottom’ story and spit it to you? I don’t even know the regular words to this joint anymore but my own lol… kind of like Hov’s ‘Allure’.
I hope Jesus threw you a bomb party up there.. I hope my Grandma Gladys pulled up too ;-) The whole city still behind us. Til we meet again.. Forever.. Love always, ‘T.I.’.
RIP.

Tony.

Happy Birthday Tony...

..We been together like Nike airs and crisped tee's

..But let's not stray

..From what I came to say

..to my beloved....

Sweetie-
It's that time of year again.  You know I normally post "your" post on "your" days earlier. but today it was a little harder to do so.  I promised I would get it up before midnight though.  I thought about having your picture with this one, but I was talking to your moms again the other day and well she changed her profile picture to your face a little earlier than usual.  I wasn't prepared.. couldn't handle it.  It broke my heart.  You know ain't nothin change... sensitivity and emotions ain't me lol.. so I did everything to try and distract me from it.  Same routine I've been doing since you've passed.  Your mom has her up and down days... but we still talk often and she's a strong woman.  She's trying ya know.  
I have on blue of course today :-).  I know you would love this hue.  You remember when I wrote you this bomb ass song about you to this track after you went to be in the heavens?  I thought it'd be perfect for your bday post than a sad one.  You know how we use to do... Hov'd out baby lol.  Not having you around is the worst.  As moms said earlier... it's still unbelievable.  No one can fathom how much I  miss you.  No one.  Oddly, it seems like each year gets rougher for me.  Go figure..  Anywho tho.. i know you partying for your 29th up there. I won't hold you up.  Just giving you your normal shine up here on your days as usual *wink.  You're still thought of daily.  Happy Birthday Tony!!!!  RIP.  
Xoxo. Always, “T.I.”

8 Years....Tony.

..I can float I can fly us to the highest

..Mountain top I can breathe you

..I can drink in your laugh

..I can live on your smile I can trip

..I can stare

..I can memorize your face, your hands, your hair

..I can speak to you so honestly I can’t even run any game

..I can hear a million angels singing in my ears when I say your name..

Tony,

Time doesn’t heal all wounds.. may make it a little easier.. but definitely not fully healed.  Every year on this day I’m reminded of the dreadful events play by play where you left and it STILL hurts like hell.  I guess the Lord needed you home with him rather than stay here with us hoodlums lls. 

I had a dream about you the other night.  You didn’t show up in it as you’ve done before... but you sent a message through someone in there and a photo that I’ll never forget.  I’m sure you know I think about you almost every day.. and miss you to the umpteenth power for many reasons I won’t disclose, but I appreciate the message.  It brought a pain.. but on a positive side brought some form of solace.

You bought the Bravebird album just for this song.  You literally would play that song only and take the cd out to put in another one lol.  You loved it.  I did too.  The lyrics mean so much to me now.  It’s crazy how things you took for granted hold a special place with you later, like this song.  It describes my feeling of you… your spirit.  Gosh I miss you.  I’ll cut this before I get emotional.  Tell my grandmother I said Hello and I miss her too.  Xoxo. 

-“T.i.”

Happy Birthday Tony...

I've been thinkin bout forever....

Happy Birthday Tony, I can’t reiterate enough how much I miss you.  Compared to most recent years, this time around is more rougher than I thought, so I won’t type much.  But just know, you are thought of daily.  RIP.  Xoxo. Always, “T.I.”

7 years later....RIP Tony

*Sigh. One of the roughest days of the year for me. I don’t speak too often to others about this… nor go into detail.. I don’t think anyone can fathom the magnitude of what this person meant to me. 7 years later… I still get that dent in my heart thinking about it. I chose this particular song because it shows growth, on my end. I have this album.. and I remember for the LONGEST… I could NOT listen to this song. Solely because they lyrics say his name. Now I am able to without shedding a tear. I have FULL understanding with the meaning of this song.. but it has a totally different underlying meaning to me.

I hope you’re looking down smiling. I miss you dearly. Love… T.I.

Happy Birthday Tony!

"...But the pockets is fat like Tony"- Hov

This is such a bittersweet day.  I miss you DEARLY, but I won't hold my head down this time.  I will remember all of the good memories we had and play Hov all day like we use to lls.

 I picked this video because EVERYONE in the movie theater was lookin at us like we were crazy the whole time lol.  Especially on this song.  I guess we thought we were on stage too....singin....rappin... dancin...tryna be Hov and Bey.  Our chemistry was bananas.  We had such a good time lol. 

I hope Jesus is throwing you a slammin Birthday Party up there! ;-)  BTW..I'm wearing your fav. color today {bday tradition}.  Til' we meet again...

XoXo, "T.I."

January 16th....

6 years ago you left me...and the pain still feels the same. I miss you more than the world could ever know. A great friend in deed. Hope you're smiling down. I won't post a picture of you...because I can't look at them...so to hold back my tears.... I've decided to just put one of how I feel.

"Never in bunches...Just Me and You...I loved your point of view...because you held no punches..."

RIP Tony ... October 4th, 1984- January 16th, 2005

Happy Birthday Aaliyah...RIP January 16, 1979 - August 25, 2001
