Um, Sam, T.I. has always talked this way. He still has his extremely deep southern accent just like he always has, which I love! He wasn't trying to talk proper nor was he attempting to use "big words." If you listen to his lyrics, his vocabulary is rather expansive and alot more intelligent than 98% of rappers now and even back then. So, not sure of what you were referring to, maybe "monstrocity" (sp) or "extravaganza" but whatever.

Anyway, I love this song, but the video looks boring as hell so far.

And I think T.I.'s verse is better than Drake's on this song. T.I. killed it! Loves him! <3
