Check this interview of Atlantic Records/Grand Hustle recording artist Clifford "T.I." Harris, as he speaks to Sonia Murray, a noted Atlanta Journal-Constitution journalist and upcoming THUG Awards honoree. Every child who cares for or idolized T.I. should read this!
Here is an excerpt:
Q. What have you learned bout yourself, being on house arrest for months?
A. Patience. Just a lot of patience. If I can sit at home all day and wait on people to bring me what I need. Wait on getting permission to be able to do this and do that it's not as serious as I used to make it sometimes. Sometimes it was like, 'If I don't get this right now I'm just going to lose it'...When you're going 350 mph it tends to be that way. But when you are stopped — halted — not slowed down, but halted, you figure 'Well I could have just slowed down. I didn't have to be stopped.' I thought it was bad just to slow down. Now I see in me being stopped, I could have done this, been this, myself, instead of being forced to do it.
One of the things J.Write and myself were discussing this weekend was the government authorities' treatment of T.I. compared to, say, Michael Vick. How do YOU feel? We will offer our thoughts this week. Check back later for more!

Check out these notable quotes from new daddy and R&B Superstar Usher Raymond:
• On the funniest thing about fatherhood: "The funniest thing ever was Jermaine Dupri watching me change a diaper. He was like, 'You're officially a daddy, dog.' "
• On taking pics of the baby, Usher Raymond V: "I've become an instant photographer," he offers. "Developing them and everything." He shows AJC columnist Sonia Murray a picture of the baby — who may have more hair than daddy — during his first bath in the sink. "It looks like he's posing doesn't it?" the admiring father says. "I wonder where he gets that from? He's going to be a lady-killer!"
• On marriage: "Just to be a little more patient. Marriage is not a sprint, it's a marathon. You have to take your time and be very patient. Sometimes you've got to breathe. Step away. Walk away from each other. You'll drive each other crazy if you're not considerate of that."
• On becoming a new dog owner: "That's my buddy right there! I went and got a dog a week before I had my child. Crazy, huh? But his name is Mr. Scottie Benson...He almost got me thrown out of the house last night though, because he peed on the carpet."
• On getting a Grammy nomination earlier this month, and he doesn't even have a new CD out: "Shoot, I'm winning even in my sleep ... even in hibernation. That's a heck of a compliment."
• On when he'll finally have a new CD out: "I've been diligently working on creating a masterpiece. It's going to be out first or maybe the second quarter. I see the second quarter of next year. And there will be a video and single out at the top of the year."

(Sonia Murray also reports that Usher added that a collaboration with Michael Jackson and Atlanta rapper-singer T-Pain is in early stages. "It's been created, but it's not recorded. And as long as Michael is open to it, hey, anything goes.")
