Is T.I. and B.o.B's Joint Album Just A Joke Or Reality?

T.I.'s prison stint wasted a lot of his time and it seems that he is really serious about making amends. Since being freed by the authorities two months ago, he has been hard at work and has already released two of his owns songs "I'm Flexin'" and "Pyro" along with a bunch of remixes for other rappers.

The extent of his enthusiasm for making new music can be estimated from the fact that he has already recorded 45 tracks for his next album "Trouble Man" and he is also planning a joint-disc with B.o.B.

In an interview taken last month, T.I. told MTV that he is discussing the idea with B.o.B., who later on confirmed that studio work has already begun on their collaboration project.

According to the "Nothin' on You" MC, the idea of him and Tip combining on a single disc began as a joke, which they eventually decided to get serious with.

B.o.B explained, "The joint album, it actually started as a joke. Tip would always refer to me as the Martian, and in one of his lyrics, he said, 'It's the man and the Martian,' and we said, 'Man that could be an album title.' We kinda just played around with it. But it seems to be taking form in a very organic way."

But T.I. then put their plan in jeopardy by claiming that it is not a 100 percent certainty that they would go ahead and release the aforementioned collab album. The King of South said, "Even this, this is a conversation that we had, this is an idea. It's not set in stone. It's not concrete as of yet."

So it is fair to assume that both the artists would first release their own albums before realistically thinking about their joint venture.
