T.I. found an occasion to reflect on a 13-year old single on Instagram yesterday (June 26).
“13 yrs ago today a lil arrogant nobody from Bankhead released his 1st single titled #ImSerious prod. By @pharrell & #DaNeptunes feat #BeanieMan….. Who knew we’d be here 13 yrs later,still standing,still solid,still rollin…even stronger!!!! Thx,Love&Respect to each & all who made dis & everything that followed possible. @kawanprather #GhettoVision @Pharrell @jasongeter S/O @therealrapstagram #hustlegangovererrthang,” T.I. says in the Instagram post’s caption.
T.I. also posted the single’s cover art for the effort.
The single is off I’m Serious, an album released in 2001 and earned a 3.5 out of 5 X rating on the site.
“Lyrically, Atlanta-bred T.I. isn’t far behind a lot of other gifted young cats tryin’ to make it in the Rap game,” HipHopDX says in its review of the album. “But rather than doing stand-up on the mic or seeing how many words he can rhyme with Versaci, this 20-year-old tells wonderfully-detailed stories on I’m Serious about coming up when all the elements try to keep you down.

i didn’t think t.i. would ever refer to himself as ignorant. arrogant for sure.
Yeah and he’s slowly going full circle, “fighting” may weather over his crackhead looking wife, posting pictures of azelia banks calling her ugly when his wife is ten times worse looking, freaking out at people calling him a snitch like he is one… Smh this dude and game are going down hill, please take young thug, Ross, chance the rapper with you..
he was an ignorant nobody because he was dealing drugs and ruining peoples lives in the process…
Ignorant nobody or not I’m serious is still a classic!!
You still are in my book and arrogant, got a pass for doing drugs and buying guns you dont do nothing but poison the black community with your garbage ass music.
He actually said he was an “arrogant nobody” not ignorant.
yeah DX is dumb af
No, you niggas are dumb as fuck with all your nitpicking
Nah, you’re all fucking fags. This site is trash and should be destroyed immediately.
and you know what 13 too today the nigga T.I is still Ignorant not arrogant, snitch and a fag
That single cover though..
I was still deep into NY/East Coast rap back then and I rejected anything southern… aside from Face and Outkast… so to me, TI was wack af when I first heard him. Nowadays, he’s hit or miss.
I can respect that, at least you were bumpin’ Kast & Face. Me being from S. Carolina tho, we were jammin I’m Serious when it came out and then when Trap Muzik dropped that’s all that anyone was playing in the whips…No denying his influence (at least in the South), although I do agree he is hit or miss these days…
Yeah, I’ve always been a fan of Geto Boys since “Mind Playing Tricks on Me”… and I was slow to Outkast at first, but they grew on me… and Goodie Mob, at least those first two albums… but that’s all I liked from the south. I got into UGK later on, but I did like “Pocketful of Stones” back in the day.
At least 13 years ago, those tracks were bumpin.. Urban legend was the pinnacle of his career, it’s been downhill since then.. He still walk around like his ship don’t stink… His wife is hot garbage and he still talks like a super kneegroe… Now he out west trying to gain some ground out there thinking he is gonna run ish.. He should just stick to doing reality tv and get his scrawny as back to AtL where he claims to be a king… the west got no love for tip and rightfully so #ghettopassrevoked
I SAID “ARROGANT” NOT “IGNORANT” YOU FUCK NIGGAS. DON’T EVER POST MY SHIT AGAIN. I HEREBY BAN YOU FROM MY CLIQUE, INCLUDING HUSTLE GANG, TI & TINY AND ALL OTHER CLIFFORD HARRIS VENTURES.
– CLIFFORD “T.I.” HARRIS
