TI is on the cover of Vibe’s April issue. He obviously is going for a portrayal here. He should have saved the geek swag for after the pen.

Pop the hood to see clifford just a month ago totally opposite of his look on Vibe.

    T.I. doin well man… nothin bad to say here… Hopefully that year and a day flies and he comes back to do the same thing… First I think

  • told you so

    thats a good pic of him…

  • CandyCane

    2nd!!!!!!

  • Mrs. Rance

    He doesn’t look like a geek. He seems to be going for the Malcolm X look. Either way he is a midget so his sexy is about on par with Bow Wow’s.

  • told you so

    the main pic, not the one where he has a small furry dog stuffed in his pants

  • CandyCane

    Fine. Third. That is a good pic.

  • kahmmillion

    TI got that Malcolm X swag on lock.

  • Snkrfetish

    I thought he only got 4 months? Anyway bet of luck for Tip….see ya when you get out!

  • chaka1

    Still don’t get this “thug” turned “black nerd” trend right now. It’s actually quite laughable.

  • 2dimplzs

    What’s wrong with changing up your look? T.I. has proven many times over, in my opinion, that he has style and taste. I’m glad someone in the rap game knows how to put on a suit from time to time and leave the saggy pants at home!

    The old me dead and gone, deand gone

    **dead and gone**

  • About it

    Kahmillion:
    I thought I was the only one who noticed that.
    And someone give that boy some veggies with no McDonalds — his skin has been lookin’ bad as of late

  • Tam

    TI gone El Hajj Malik El Shabazz.
    Good for him.

  • Tam

    That’s Malcolm X for the rest of you

  • lorie

    Ummmm….. not a good look.

  • always knew

    @Tam

    TI gone El Hajj Malik El Shabazz.
    Good for him.

    _____________________

    IT’S A GREAT LOOK FOR HIM AND I’M NOT A FAN!!

    I’M DIGGIN THE MALIK EL SHABAZZ LOOK, THOUGH!

    LOOKIN’ GOOD,GOT YOUR MIND, RIGHT LEAVE THE HOOD MENTAL, ALONE! KEEP GOING PLACES…

    GOOD FOR YOU, MR.HARRIS…

  • marshabio

    I like this cover

  • TootsieOKC

    Speaking of VIBE I have a subscription but haven’t seen an issue since the December ‘Plies” Cover. Is anyone else having similar issues? Just curious…

  • BKLYNZ OWN

    SOMEBODY COULD AT LEAST TOLD HIM HIS TIE WAS CROOKED.I ROCK SHIRTS AND TIES FOR WORK SO I PICK UP ON THAT

  • Ci-Ci

    It’s def. a good pic of him — though I think the Malcolm X reference is played out (and extremely inappropriate – there’s nothing parallel about these two men).

    BTW, one of the editors over there has a broner for Clifford — he’s been on the cover too many times…

  • http://www.gravatar.com FatSTateofMind

    I like his reality show on mtv…I think out of all the rappers he’s probably the most influential right now.

  • Joline

    I’ve seen his profile on the millionaire & celebrity dating club____MillionaireLoving. C O M____ for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating. It is amazing!

  • http://dicooper.spaces.live.com/ DICooper

    Well you can’t call yourself a reformer before you make the transformation. I guess they are trying to say that T.I. is about to use jail as a catalyst to some higher consciousness?

    T.I. as Malcom Detroit Red Little is more likely than Clifford ever turning into El Hajj Malik el-Shabazz.

  • TheGoodGood

    Look at this fool trying to act like he’s in the Nation of Islam or some shit?

    T.I. you’re not fooling anyone

  • Lamar Maddox

    It’s a nod to Malcolm X…not a geek swag, Bossip…Got Damn!?…Are you people over there that clueless???????

  • Humm……

    Sexy

  • Lyriq

    Dude got that Malcom X swag forreal!

  • mybaad

    yezzir!!

  • IshaLynn

    T.I can get it…..twice…..on a Sunday…..before church…. with or without the glasses

  • About it

    ooooooooooooooooo
    DICooper, we heard that.

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

    Nothing like prison to convert a brother to the Muslim faith. Tiny look like the kinda chick who would be hittin up the prisons looking for a man. So all in all, everything works out fine.

  • Kimmie

    Great pic of T.I.!

  • ME ME ME

    @Mrs. Rance

    I AGREE!

  • ME ME ME

    @AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

    LMAOOO hahah for real though!

  • Marc B’s Honey (Sugar Just Ain’t this Sweet)

    Is it just me or does he look like Malcolm X’s stunt double?…I mean, I’m just saying…

  • About it

    @AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

    ROTFLMBAO

  • Tony Redds

    Can you say Brotha Malcolm!

  • I Love Being Black

    To complete the Malcolm X transformation…he needs a bow tie.

    I say it’s a good look. Go ‘head, man!

  • Marieezy

    Ti is hot as fckkkk!<3

  • Sunshine

    he kind of look like Malcolm x

  • Phenomenally Dee

    SEXY!!!!

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    @Tootsieokc,

    Keisha Cole and her crackhead momma are on the new vibe cover but Vibe needs to put itself on suspension for putting a Bama ass no rappin’ ugly wack deep south n*gga like Plies on its cover. (their lowest selling issue ever) Vibe used to be the sh*t, now I dont know whats going on, the last 1/4 of the magazine is now so f*ckin’ gay that as soon as I get my issue i tear that shIt out and use it to light my bar b q grill.

    When I look @ this picture I see someone with a “rough” life in their eyes and a bit of bad skin

  • Meso

    I like T.I.’s new look, he’s the next Denzel

  • The Original Ebony

    Lawd have mercy.
    I will work that
    twurk that any day.

    damn..

  • http://twitter.com/collected collected

    gotta love the man… damn who ever is his PR clean up person is a genius… chris brown needs TI PR when he goes to the clinker

    twitter: collected

  • canwepleasestopandreflect

    It would take a lot more than glasses and a tie to turn T.I. into a geek. He just looks FINE here.

    Def better than seeing his overgrown pubes swag LOL

  • Mc

    That’s a good look for TIP. I like seeing men be grown in hip hop.

  • SWINGBADABADA

    When did TI join Nation of Islam?

  • DayShifter

    Geek?!?!

    Bossip, sometimes I think ya’ll just be making up sh*it….

  • jena4rmthablock

    He supposed to be the talented MR Ripley!!! Just a guess, that’s what I thought when I saw him. That’s my boo!

  • Philly

    SNITCH

  • jah jah

    Why are they trying to compare him to BROTHER MALCOLM? That is ridiculous.

  • brooklyn kid

    NOPE NOT MALCOLM AT ALL! BUT HE’S A FINE LITTLE HUNK ANYWAY. I will say he does make since when he speaks. Maybe he’ll pursue his BA while on lock-down, turn a negative into a positive. I do think this brother will do something worthwhile outside of music

  • http://www.madamethejourney.com Madame

    not Malcolm … but he does look like he could have been an extra in the movie though (a sexy one) … lol … creative cover though … it’s almost time TIP …

  • Motownwife

    TI has a good looking face. Very easy on the eyes more than most rappers. Hell he looks better than most R&B singers. Go head man.

  • Ready Set Go

    Yeah, that is far from geek. That is straight Malcolm X.

  • Ready Set Go

    I am not saying he looks like X, but X wore that style and certainly was no geek.
