I'm Serious is the debut studio album by American rapper T.I., released on October 9, 2001 through Arista Records. The album spawned the eponymous single, which featured Jamaican reggae entertainer Beenie Man. His debut single, "I'm Serious," was released on June 26, 2001. The single received little airplay and failed to chart. Mack 10 & Big Gipp of Goodie Mob make cameo appearances in the music video.
The album included guests appearances from Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes (who called him "the Jay-Z of the South"),Jazze Pha, Too Short, Bone Crusher, Lil Jon, Mac Boney, Pastor Troy, P$C and Youngbloodz. The album featured production from DJ Toomp, Craig Love, Maseo, Brian Kidd, The Neptunes, Jazze Pha, Yung D, Lil Jon and T.I. himself.
Despite the album's guests appearances and production team, the album peaked at number 98 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and only sold 163,000 copies in the United States. Upon its release, critics pointed to the fact that many of the tracks sounded the same and that a few were blatant rip-offs. Other critics commented saying, "T.I. claims to be the king of the South, but fails to show and prove. He does, however, have potential. If his talent ever matches his confidence, he may just be headed for stardom."

Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger) is a discontinued instant messaging client developed by Microsoft for Windows, Xbox 360, BlackBerry OS, iOS, Java ME, S60 on Symbian OS 9.x, and Zune HD. It connected to the Microsoft Messenger service while also having compatibility with Yahoo! Messenger and Facebook Messenger. The client was first released as MSN Messenger on July 22, 1999, and was marketed under the MSN branding until 2005 when it was rebranded under Windows Live and has since been officially known by its present name, although its previous name was still used colloquially by most of its users. In June 2009, Microsoft reported the service attracted over 330 million active users each month, placing Messenger among the most widely used instant messaging clients in the world.
Following the acquisition of Skype Technologies in May 2011, Microsoft added interoperability between Skype and Microsoft accounts, allowing Skype (which had features unique to its platform and a wider user base) to communicate with Messenger contacts. In 2013, Windows Live Messenger was discontinued and Microsoft began ceasing service to existing clients. The service in China remained active for another 18 months, and ceased operations on October 31, 2014.
Okay

Minus the T
[Pusha T]
OK, Pusha...minus the T
Niggas is talkin' to blasphemous
Tell me is it these ashy cuts that got you thinkin'
I'm not in touch with that mask 'n glove
Don't let the Reverend hold your casket 'cause
We think you thinkin'
These verses is curses the only thing worse is
I'm the ring master of the circus
Meanin' that, I'm the only one in the show with purpose
Most of you motherfuckers don't scratch the surface
Look, still ghetto, still tot' heavy metal
Still throw a nickname on all of my vehicle
Like the Copperfield coupe, now you see it now you don't
With one flick of the wrist wow! the roof will go poof! (poof)
I'm an achiever make all of you believers
And I'll be damned if you overthrow Virginia's Caesar
Spend a day, sin a way, walk with me
Hug corners in the hood like a ghetto renegade switch!
Spend a way, rolls gold Jesus
Pink diamonds face flush like it was Duncan pink lemonade
Listen I'm not actin', this not rappin' this is live in action
Let's consider all the facts in
I got caught dealin' some way back when
Now that I'm blowin' it's smoother men
I know its hurts to see it but players please believe it
[Chorus: Pusha T (2x)]
I'm cool what you wishin', don't talk 'cause I'm listenin'
Fuck 'round and end up missin' if you curious
No weed or no vodka my soul will make me pop ya
Don't make me have to milk box ya, I'm serious
[Malice]
See how ya boy do I pull up in that ride quick
50 on the wrist leanin', niggas is sick
Steamin' they can't understand the meanin'
So they plot and conjure up ways to interrupt my well bein'
But that 9's been a damn good friend
Plus worthy made it to see 30 and I owe it all to him
Jewels lookin' as if I done robbed a vault
So if your bitch takes an interest it is not her fault
I mean look, head to toe heavy in weight
Pockets loaded hey I must say I take a cake
They speak ill, but words don't break him bone
They bounce off him, 'cause see him is purchasin' homes
See his stones how they complement each other
Size of the rocks and they fluctuate in color
That him is me get a clue enough's is enough
Took it easy on y'all fuckers and I ain't even rimed my truck (Uhh)
To put it simple I'm a rarity ma
From the cars to the jewels what clarity ha
Stick with me show you life thats out of this world
And I ain't lyin' to you love I only lie to my girl
I lust for the riches what a treat this is
The Lord is dealin' with my demons and my weaknesses
God forgive lose it all or God forbid
But from the Cradle 2 The Grave I'm a live
