Grand Hustle Steps Into Comedy

According to reports, T.I.'s imprint, Grand Hustle Entertainment, will be trying their hand in the world of comedy with a new management and booking firm for upcoming comedians aptly titled "Grand Hustle Comedy."

"We want to help underground comedians not only bring their careers above ground, but also attain the type of longevity you can only get by diversifying your exposure."

The comedy firm's first project will be a a comedy tour scheduled to launch February 15 in Omaha, Nebraska.

Blue Carpet Treatment was a good album. How long has it been since that album came out anyway?

OF course it'd be pushed up hes had a lot of time to work on it. haha. Snoop's albums always have good sales too.

While I no longer enjoy most of Snoop songs, I still think its impressive, that in an era where everyone is getting pushed back he actually gets pushed up.

Seems like everybody doin tha same thing as far as expanding just wit a different name so I'm guessing it ain't all that amazing. Def Comedy Jam, Bad Boyz Of Comedy Etc... Now 4 tha snoop bizznez I fuccs wit. He damn sure betta take advantage of tha buzz he got, not that it's anything new (His Buzz Stay On) and go ahead and let them numbaz do wut they do. SCREAM AT ME 1 Best wishes to snoop.

grand hustle should be careful with their business ventures...it's one thing for a company as established as def jam to branch off into different forms of entertainment, but for a young company like grand hustle, they risk losing their credibility in the rap game

Snoop is rap royalty. He makes good music.
I wonder if TI will take the stage after his shows and tell everyone god bless and have a good night.
I wonder why TI felt that he needed a trunk load of machine guns? I hope he beats his case. Hes a good MC.
