T.I.’s “Ya Hear Me” Video Gives Us The Blues
While T.I. is unlikely to be available to promote his newly re-titled No Mercy album in person, he’s cut at least one final video before heading back behind bars. The blue-hued “Ya Hear Me” is a far simpler affair than usual for him: there’s no dapper wardrobe or fiery effects here — just Tip rocking a flannel, a white tee and ball cap as he performs with a live band and raps a triumphant verse that refers to surviving his previous prison stint. But the gospel-style organs and the driving beat (plus a cameo from Young Jeezy) make this one a can’t miss clip.
T.I. – “Ya Hear Me”
“They dont like to see me walkin’ out of prison / I ain’t trippin / I don’t owe em nothin but a ass whoppin'” might seem like a suitably boastful line (as are many other verses) if it wasn’t such a bummer.
In light of his upcoming return to prison, it’s just a bitter reminder of what might’ve been. But we’ll look forward to watching T.I. (and this smoking band!) take a stage just about 11 months from now.
