24's

"24's" is the first single off Atlanta-based rapper T.I.'s album Trap Muzik. It was featured on the hit street racing game Need For Speed: Underground. The song peaked at #78 on Billboard Hot 100 in 2003 and became T.I.'s starting point to a successful career.

Video Information

The Video was cut for TV standards. The video took place in Atlanta, at a location which appears to be a parking lot or a condo with a large number of cars with 24-inch rims parked. At the beginning a known comedian Lil Duval is presented in front of a trunk trying to talk to some girls. In another scene, T.I. is shown rapping and driving a Chevy with his friend, who appears to be his deceased friend Philant Johnson, on the passenger side. At the end of the video, Duval and another comedian are shown in front of T.I.'s hotel room which is filled with women, who want to come in. Duval starts singing Jodeci's Forever My Lady, then it shows T.I. getting the crowd hyped up.

Video contains cameo appearances by DJ Toomp, Lil Duval, DJ Drama, The Game & Jazze Pha.

Remix

The official remix was released later in the year and features Big Kuntry King and DJ Paul & Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia. The remix is also known as "Hypnotized 24's".

Censorship

The original uncensored hook goes: "Money, 'hos , cars & clothes, thats how all my niggas know/ Blowin' Dro on 24's, thats how all my niggas roll". The censored hook goes: "Money rolls, cars & clothes that's how all my partnas roll/ Burnin' Dro on 24's, thats how all my partnas roll", and is much slower than the original uncensored version.
