Apologies up front to those mockdockers who get all bent out of shape about the fact that I think these kinds of nicknames are moronic, but T.I. has just informed the media that his fellow hip-hop entertainer and good buddy Chris Brown, is “cool.” Yes. I said, “T.I.” and yes, he described Chris Brown as being “cool.”
Seriously. T.I.? You’ll be very proud to note that I wikipedia’d him, and discovered all the reasons that he goes by T.I. and once I got past the stories about his drug use, it turns out that the reasons are every bit as stupid as the nickname itself. Although, considering his actual name is Clifford, you can hardly blame him for wanting to change it.
ANYWAY.
T.I. sat down with elite and prestigious journalist Carson Daly to talk about Chris Brown’s arrest. He said, “Yeah, I spoke to him today. He’s cool, you know. I guess he a little concerned about the situation but he’s still the same Chris.” T.I also told Carson Daly that he offered Chris Brown some words of wisdom about the situation. He said, “I told him this too shall pass.”
Lastly, he told Carson: “Hey man, you people gotta remember, we celebrities and we entertainers, but we still human. All of us.”
First of all, I would like to know what T.I. has against verbs. Secondly, if you are a guy, and you hit a woman, you kind of lose the right to be called a human. So I’m going to disagree with T.I. on that front. It is almost hilarious to me that he says Chris Brown is “a little concerned about the situation” as if Chris Brown did something as inane as forgetting to pay his electric bill on time or something. He beat the crap out of a woman. Today’s news accounts say that her face was a swollen, bruised, bloody mess, and that he bit her arms and fingers. And now he’s “a little concerned.”
Awww. That’s sweet of him to be concerned. I hope his fellow prisoners give him some nice, big shoulders to cry on.
Jerk.
If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of Chris Brown’s career going down in flames. I doubt he’d do jail time, but nobody is going to want to work with him anymore. Good. No one likes a woman beater.
I’m sure Chris Brown doesn’t want T.I. of all performers to stick up for him. Are you aware that T.I. was ordered to do 1000 hours of community service for drug charges and has made a TV SHOW out of it? About how inspirational he plans to be for teens? Oh PLEASE!
His name is T.I. from a nickname his grandfather gave him you stupid ****. And he SOLD drugs to take care of his family beginning when he was in 6th grade. Don’t trust wikipedia. That just made you look ignorant.
Hey Elizabeth. Welcome to the MockDock. We already have one Elizabeth here, so maybe you could leave your last initial or something. We certainly wouldn’t want to wrongly attribute your sophisticated argument against ignorance. Also, it would be great if you would specify who exactly is the stupid **** next time. It gets so confusing around here. Thanks!
Awwww – he SOLD drugs. That’s sooo much better than using. I can see why you would rush to his defense, Elizabeth.
You’re only 17 though, so you can’t help how immature you sound. But since you’re the TI expert, maybe you can answer why he hates verbs?
Sorry, Mock, but I teach 11th and 12th grade English (16-18 year olds). They hate verbs too.
I’m in NO WAY defending Chris Brown in this. If he wasn’t at least 50% guilty, his reps would be all over it protecting his good, innocent name. However, I don’t think his career is over. Bobby Brown’s perogative was to beat Whitney. (haha, see what I did there?) Ok, I guess he doesn’t exactly have a career…
Nobody really knows what officially happened except Chris and Rhianna. (Ok, and probably the cops and the hospital folks too.) It’ll all come out soon enough.
rosie too -
Are you saying I can’t sophisticately argue as well as Elizabeth II?!? I’m so hurt. Granted, I am no T.I. expert… maybe that’s what you meant. I’m going to go read his biography right now so I can keep up and be fully knowledgeable on the subject. But, since wikipedia clearly is wrong, do you think they’ll have one at my public library??
elizabeth, please, please don’t resort to such drastic measures. The name calling and cursing had me confused for a minute there. I’m certain you are fully capable of responding in EII’s, umm, mature and refined debate style…
