Rapper T.I. has been busy shooting multiple videos for new singles off his album Paper Trail, but if it's left up to Louis Vuitton and Gucci, one music video may not make it to your television screens.
Tip and Swizz Beatz shot the video for "Swing Ya Rag" many weeks ago, around the same time as the "What Up, What's Happenin' " clip. However, the two companies<--more--> mentioned in the song were not excited about the prospect of full-on visuals for the record, reports MTV.com.
"We did it, and it came out hot," Tip said of the video. "Louis Vuitton and Gucci started trippin' about it. They were saying we were infringing, in one way or another. They weren't happy about it. They didn't want it to come out. But it's hot, though."
But that hasn't stopped the Atlanta rapper, Tip has moved on, and a video for "Live Your Life" with Rihanna is about to drop shortly. There's also still hope for a "Swagger Like Us" video and a major performance.
"I hope we can pull that off," Tip said of a video featuring song co-stars Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil' Wayne. "That was the definite intentions initially. We have to see when everybody is all available. I'm available whenever they are."
T.I. is also planning a tour, and the rapper-turned-actor is currently shooting the film "Bone Deep."
