2014 BET Hip Hop Awards: T.I. Performs New Track 'About the Money' Before 'Paperwork' Album Release [Watch]
Just a week before releasing his highly anticipated ninth studio album "Paperwork: The Motion Picture," T.I. performed a brand new track at this year's BET Hip Hop Awards.
Clad in flashy black and gold leather, T.I.P. certainly gave his best onstage with a dynamic performance of "About the Money." He was joined by fellow Atlanta, Georgia emcee Young Thug, who hyped up the audience by jumping around and shouting out the rap verse.
Snoop Dogg also seemed to enjoy the duo's powerful set, which was accompanied by a live band and a DJ, as he danced on the side with his signature shades on. "That's one of them songs where every rapper in this motherf**ker is like 'Damn, I wish I made that motherf**ker,'" he said after the their show.
Meanwhile, the "No Mediocre" rapper's upcoming album, executive produced by Pharrell, is now available to stream via iTunes First Play. It is set to feature various artists including his protégé Iggy Azalea, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Usher, The-Dream and more, and be released on Oct. 21.
"Paperwork is official. If you've got paperwork on something, it's official," he told Hot 97 recently. "Also, if someone has paperwork on you, then it could be some trouble. So it's official, it's trouble, it's authentic. Sounds like me. The music supports this theory very well."
"This is the first time in my career that I have had enough time to create all the music, get the sequencing down, even before I start my clock and put myself on the calendar," he added. "Now that I have all of the music ... I could take my time and step back and make sure it's the perfect blend, to create the perfect amount of synergy between trap music and art house."
