New Video: T.I – ‘Get Back Up (Ft. Chris Brown)’

Published: Wednesday 3rd Nov 2010 by Trent

The video for T.I and Chris Brown’s ‘Get Back Up‘ was just released. The song is the latest to be lifted from the rapper’s ‘No Mercy’ album which will be available on December 7th. Look below for all the action:

This was a simple yet effective video. It captured the essence of the song and Brown’s presence kept things light-hearted.

Still, the message of this record is completely lost on me because of T.I’s recent legal woes. How many times does he plan to fall into a jail cell and get back up? It seems that he rather enjoys the experience.

    I wish the video had been cleaned up a bit more, but like you said, it served its purpose. Love the song.

    I like the video its kinda plain but it goes with the song to me. Great video T.I. and Chris all you have to do is get back up.

    im sorry but real talk…

    if u had a number 1 movie in the country and just got married..wouldnt u be celebrating?

    no denying he wasnt the brightest about how he celebrated..but who am i to judge..i got my own ish

  6. UMMM………… November 3, 2010

    Hey lay off T.I.P.! He and his wife did something extremely dumb but drug addicts will do that! Real talk! I would have much rather seen him in the room next to LINDSAY LOHAN getting treatment for his problem then in jail……but hey, life is different for different folks!

    I LOVE THIS SONG but the vid has been removed!

    *Still love you T.I.P. eventhough you made a bad, bad, bad drug induced decison!

    Hopefully he realizes that he is mortal, and a black man in America. He has a family and his ass is getting too old to keep running back and forth to jail. Freedom should mean something to him. I think by the time he recorded the video, it resonated with him and this is finally a lesson learned. I hope this is his last trek. I love the song.

    simple video but a strong message. I love it.
    oh and Chris sounds great on this track.

    @Trent —

    “How many times does he plan to fall into a jail cell and get back up? It seems that he rather enjoys the experience.” <— This has to be, undoubtedly, THE most mind-numbingly, upper-function impairing, stupidest thing I've yet read (here on TGJ), by way of your faculties..!! (… And trust, you've written your share…!!)

    … So Tent, enlighten us — should "The White Rapper" then decide to release those pictures/audio material, he's claimed in his possession, of Mariah Carey, then drenched in his urine, while in her often-then frequent, extasy/cocaine/crystal-meth fueled-stupor, would you then be so…"strident", "acidic", "venomous" and without compassion, or totally-witless of the notion of addiction…??
    … You've now demonstrated, that the "most cursory and rudimentary" proves herculean and back-breaking…!!

    X,Y,"and Z" — OUT…!!!

    @DJ: Perfect comment! : )

    @Lioness: I thought the same thig when I heard about him getting arrested on the drug charges! I was like ‘He was out in LA celebrating his movie coming in at No. 1’. But I still had no sympathy for him! He could have celebrated his ass at home! He had a lot of drugs in that car and he should have known better than to be driving with them! He was lucky he didn’t get ay addictional charges and only got in trouble for violating his probation.

    @Ummm…good point. But Lindsay Lohan is already a 8 time convicted felon. *shrugs*

    The video was good. It’s pretty simple straight to the point I guess. I wasn’t expecting it to be ‘spectacular’ given the subject matter. CB makes the silliest faces sometimes. I couldn’t help but laugh at him dancing around in the background. Lol!

    I kinda agree with Trent too, it’s hard to listen to this song without thinking ‘Shut up you big dummy!” He said damn near the same thing in ‘Dead & Gone’ and now look where we are again! Can we really believe him this time? Will he mess up again and then make another song like this? I mean, the message is great but you have to live up to your words TIP. Honestly, TI can NEVER mess up like this again as far his career goes! He has had too many second chances to to count and I really think even his die hard fans are fed up with him at this point! STAY OUT OF TROUBLE TIP!!

    As for CB, I hope he stays on his current path! Stay out of trouble and stay on your grind!

    PRINCEStopher and The KANG did it in this video. But I agree with Trent on TIP. I pray that when he gets finished serving his 11 months, he comes out and makes an real change. Im sure his family and friends will appreciate it 🙂

    Good video though.

  13. Keesha November 4, 2010

    I LOVE this song! The video was okay, but I agree with Trent’s commentary.

    I love this song it sends a strong message.

  16. Be BETTER not “Bitter!” November 4, 2010

    I think Trent and ALL of ThatGrapeJuice should share less of there personal commentary and continue to give all of the Music Industry Updates thru a NON_Biased Funnel!

  17. Anna November 4, 2010

    Drug addiction is a real thing. And why are people surprised a felon which TI is goes back to jail. He’s been to jail more than once. And most felons do it again and again.

    I don’t see why people are so surprised or judgmental. Especially black folk….are you serious? You are lying if you don’t have at least one family member, even distant ones in jail or once in jail.

    Its sad, but its the reality for America since this country values jail like no other country except China and Iran. And most ppl in jail in the US are on non-violent drug charges. So just like Trent and his rather insensitive remarks, the American court system also doesn’t understand the problem that is drug addiction. Jail just makes it worse.

  18. VA STAND UP!! November 4, 2010

    @Um…. *correction* Lindsay Lohan ‘isn’t’ already an 8 time convicted felon! That’s the big difference!

    @Anna: We aren’t saying we are ‘surprised’, we are just disappointed as fans that he could be that stupid! He has f*cked up so many times he should know better by now! Remember he is already an 8 time convicted felon! Like when will you learn?!?! How could you write such true lyrics in a record about being a ‘changed man’, and then continuously f*ck up! You speak the truth in your music but you don’t live up to it! It makes no sense. It’s frustrating ass hell when you really support somone and they let you down. Whether they are family or not!

    @Soulful Roses: ‘Princestopher’ ——> Ha! That’s cute, but a lil hard to pronounce! I think I am gonna stick with Breezy! Lol!

    … Bravo..!! … Standing Ovation… Encore…!!! (Runs to the stage and throws flowers at Anna’s feet)

    … Yours has been, SO FAR, T-H-E most-intelligent, insightful, cut-through-the-BS comment so-far-post, and yet read…!! (“CERTAIN-OTHERS” reads belligerent, bellicose, near-buffoonery, and wholly contemptuous of reason and sound judgement…!!!

    While Trent, and certain-other bloggers, who had post in this thread, continues to bash T.I., the mainstream offers redemption and second-chances to the likes of Charlie Sheen (TV’s highest paid actor/episode!!).

    We’ve become – COLLECTIVELY – our-own worst-enemies. We’re the dumping ground for all the mainstream’s phobias, ills, “isms and schisms” — we’re so brainwashed to dislike/hate-on ourselves, that we’re the first, last and loudest to condemn, ridicule, dismiss, and then banish our-own…!!

    … We did it with CBreezy: we DIDN’T give him “the benefit of doubt.” We took, as gospel, the words of a Svengali; the actions of a woman scorned; and the band-wagoning of opportunists, who’ve proved themselves – “suspicious and agenda-driven…!”

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT…!!

    Let the truth be heard sista’, I agree and applaud you with a standing ovation. :throwing roses at Anna feet; 🙂

    @ XYand Z

    Bravo, Standing Ovation and an Encore also for you too brotha!

    Throwing red rose at XYand Z feet. 🙂

    How can any one sit and say Lohan is a 8 time felon with little are no remorse, who should be serving time in the penitentiary for trafficking drugs, wasn’t that Lohan the paparazzi took pictures of, when a white substance fell from between her legs cover her feed and the ground, seem to have been a pound of flour? Yup!

    Charlie Sheen, shot a woman, beat a woman, put a knife to his wife throat, still walk around a free man with know probation, free as a bird, with career intact.

    TIP still has a fan base and a strong one at that, since when did we let the personal lives of artist affect us? As long as they are not worshiping Satan, you know some of us still believe that the Lord is Great and nothing, nothing comes before our Heavenly Father, nothing. “Especially not a Satan Worshiper”!

    I love this song and its message. Chris is looking fine in that grey suit with those shoes.

  23. Anna November 4, 2010

    Thanks blue kid and xy and z – I do not have a single TI song on my iPod, I am nit a fan but I can see his talent. But these ppl keep saying they r disappointed in TI. Is he ur father or is the real season why u r disappointed is because u won’t see him in concert for a while? Boo hoo. Get over urself. The man has real drug and family issues. Unless u r family, calm down. And pick up a book on addiction!

  24. Mishka November 4, 2010

    Breezy just ages like good wine. Impressive.

    T.I you’re only human huh? right. Having pot in your maybag makes you dumb, not human, sorry sir.
