T.I.’s 10-year contract with Atlantic ran up only a month ago … but he’s already put together his own idea of a $75 million deal.
- 3 albums
- 10-20 percent of publishing, touring, merchandise, film and TV rights
- Corporate endorsement deals
- Exclusive signing of all Grand Hustle artists
T.I. already met with some of the industry’s biggest names including Dr. Dre, who asked him to join Aftermath over dinner at Katana recently .. and Jay-Z, who wants T.I. in the RocNation family.
Sony put a $50 million deal on the table so far … and Universal’s meeting with him later this week to make an offer too.

It's just good to hear top money deals going on when discussing rap
IMO T.I. is too commercial friendly for Dre, it'd be a wrong move
-
Dre signs unestablished/wack artists because he can't handle working with real talent that know what their doing.
T.I. would fit in at the Roc though.
-
T.I would bring in some extra ca$h for dre, and with these comercial deals he don't have to worry about food on the table i guess.

Popped Off is an absolute banger, i think their styles meshes well together, and TI seems to be ghostwriting well for the doc

I don't think T.I. is worth $75 million, at least not for those things. Plus he's going to be a bigger gamble. Considering his criminal history and the federal charges he had before, he's on thin ice as it is, and it's not like he'll never again be in a situation where he might potentially be in trouble.
Rappers these days are getting deals that I never thought would've been the case, especially with the significant decrease in album sales (though I do realize that album sales account for only a portion of revenue). But hey, good for them.
That being said, I'd rather not see him sign to Aftermath, since it's evident that it would just take longer for him to put something out. Dre can't even seem to finish his own album (let alone someone else's), and it's not like many of the artists he signed who were established artists beforehand put out a lot of material... thankfully at least Busta Rhymes got to drop an album, but we never saw anything from Rakim or Raekwon.

signing to another rapping ass nigga would be a step backwards.
only way id consider doing aftermath is if all my albums are guaranteed to be at least 60 percent produced by dre

TI is not even a rapper, he's a personality these days. Dre is paying for the name. but lets be real, an album fulla joints like "shit popped off" would be TI's best.
-
it would be the only way he could top trap muzik

And that would guarantee that your albums would take three years just to record
-
Dre should just concentrate on up and coming artists these days, this may have worked years ago when Detox still had a chance with TI maybe ghostwriting but not now
-
it would be a great move for both parties involved but based off dre's history wit holdin' projects back and takin' his time who knows....i would love to hear the king over some more dr. dre production though. 8)

Wow, I can't believe it's already been nearly 10 years since Trap Muzik dropped.
From what I've heard there's appearently a "bidding war" going on to sign T.I. and other than Dr. Dre, Jay-Z is in it as well.
Personally out of the possible destinations I've heard I hope he goes to Roc Nation. Mostly because I want to hear a T.I. & J. Cole collaboration, but also because those 3 albums he wants actually have a chance of being released on Roc Nation.
-
i'm reading that atlantic records still claim him as theirs and he was in the studio wit dr. dre recently(dj skee)
-
I wouldn't mind hearin' an album from T.I. that's produced by Dre.

Yeah and then some beats from the Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit camp producers. Doesn't 50 got beef with T.I. though?

nah they ain't beefin'. the only beats that are hot in that direction is: dj khalil, mark batson, dawaun parker, and hi tek. t.i. over a hi tek beat would be epic though.
