Tags: Mary J BligeIf there was ever a single, short and stacked spitter that made me so weak in the knees, that distinguishing honor would go to T.I. Far be it from me to note that he just got himself wifey-ed (he'll always be a single stud to me), but we're not here to talk rings and things...no, we're aiming to dish on the 3+ hour performance that the rapper put on last night at Capitale, as part of AXE Music's One Night Only event. If you stalk twitter, you may have seen a bevy of jawdropping tweets from those in attendance, and all warranted the gasps, oohs, and aahs that kept a'rolling out.
Bringing out his best buddies and beauties, TIP ran the gamut between songs both new and old (reminder: King Uncaged comes out on September 28), in a set that spanned 30 cuts and a guests that made you go "oh wow yes".
Starting off with the fitting track, I'm Back, the dude was a nonstop whirl of sweat, spit, sex and stealth moves as he entertained in this, his first live show since getting freed from the pinstripes. Yep, this being his premiere post-prison performance, the rapper seemed not ot have missed an steps as he brought out the likes of Cam'Ron, Mary J Blige (yeah!), B.o.B., Keri Hilson, Swizz Beats, Maino and a number of his homeboys to brrrraapp into the mic.
Highlights included the inclusion of Ms. Mary J, along with the crowd pleasers Live Your Life and the current chart-topper, Got Your Back, with the aforementioned Hilson.
Special thanks to Edelman, AXE and Sarah for hooking up a super amazing evening. Video of Live Your Life can be checked out below, and the full gallery of images reside right here.

Holy hell it’s finally Friday. This has been a long ol’ week, but it’s equally been chock full of awesome.
What’s everyone up to this weekend? There’s lots of cool happening in the city, so I expect to see each and every one of you out and about.
Kylie Minogue has a new song. Bit of a yawner for a supposed "comeback" single, but I guarantee after a few more listens, I’ll be loving on All the Lovers. link
Tame Impala are streaming their entire album, Innerspeaker. Would be a wise move to go have a listen, because it’s solid as stone. link
Mary J. Blige has been tapped to play Nina Simone in an upcoming biopic. link
The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards is set to release his autobiography in October. link
