Chris Robinson on T.I.
Just as Robinson had worked with other artists, he managed to cross paths with T.I. Four years before ATL was released, Robinson directed T.I.’s first video and was impressed by the southern rapper’s steez. It was this impression that made him want to work with T.I. and even suggest his name for this film. “He had a crazy charisma and so much presence. But on this film he came to the table, worked so hard and never tried to be T.I. – he became Rashad. Over a three-month period he turned down huge opportunities to do shows paying lots of money to do this project. He totally dedicated himself to making this film.”
