T.I. Speaks On Calling It Quits After ‘Kill the King’ Album

The Grand Hustle Records’ head honcho recently spoke with GAFollowers about the status of the projected double-record, Kill the King and Kiss the King. Off top, T.I. reiterated, “I keep saying I got two more albums,” but “when [I’m going to] present them, how [I’m going to] present ‘em,” he doesn’t know the lyrical farewell will mark his twelfth studio effort. “I go and record all the time. I can play two albums worth of music right now.” So, that begs the question, what is the hold-up on delivering the anticipated bodies of work? “I just ain’t really into doing the work that it takes to put it out,” he admitted. Furthermore, the emcee shared, “It’s really just that … I could just throw the music out there, but I, you know, the work that comes with releasing an album is something I haven’t pushed myself to want to do.” That work has much to do with photoshoots and press days to promote the project. “That’s the nuts and bolts of it. I think it gets down to the bottom line being I don’t want a job. I don’t want a job. I’ve been working, man, 25 years. I don’t want no job. I wanna do things that I really, really, like, enjoy doing.”T.I. is certain the project will come to fruition because it requires very little of him. “I don’t have to show up. Once I do the music and the music catch on … you got [Young] Dro, you got [Big] Kuntry [King], you got Man [Boney], man, I can come in the last five minutes of it, ‘Hey, what’s up y’all. How y’all doing? Yeah, man, y’all go get that, man,’” and then dip off having fulfilled his promotional duties with minimal schedule constraints.
