Just in time for summer, I visited Converse.com and personally designed these converse sneakers to help me get my summer swagger on. What do you think of these kicks? And please don't bite my shit. Be original. Peep the skull lining inside the sneakers. Hot ish! Check out the black-and-wh...
I saw a pic of the weapons that were seized by the ATF that were in T.I.'s possession. Was he planning a damn Jihad or something? No one should be stockpiling those kinds of weapons. Especially not in ATL.

Ain't no way in hell I'd pay that much for a cell phone. And besides, you never want to get one when it first comes out. Wait until all of the bugs are worked out before making a purchase of that magnitude.
