I can't stand T.I. But since his movie ATL waz produced by FP, i skimmed it and found the magic words...."Will Smith." Here's the part of the interview that's actually interesting...
"Still, as a first-time actor working with a first-time feature director (music video helmer Chris Robinson), T.I. often felt overwhelmed. Fortunately, Will Smith is one of the producers on the film and T.I. was able to consult personally with the world's foremost rapper-turned actor.
'I spoke to Will several times about problems i was having,' says T.I. 'He's a real n!gg@. He's from the hood and still has hood n!gg@s around him. People don't know that because of his image - which is probably best for his career - but anybody sitting and talking to him can see it.'"
