T.I. is the rich one here, partner. And while he has no problem sharing some financial wisdom so that his homies can make it big as well, that doesn’t mean he wants to listen to a bunch of nobodies telling a millionaire like him how to do his business.

“Trees & Truths is my most lyrical body of work. It comes from conversations I had with Free Nation members and friends during smoking sessions. It’s a description of topics I view as truth and how they are affected by ‘The trees’, the trees being weed, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and a representation of people. All production and mastering was done by OnGaud Productions.”

Ed isn’t kidding here. Psychological studies have pinpointed 20 reasons people fall in love, and most of them are pretty mysterious. These include keeping your hand and torso open when you talk, offering your date hot drinks instead of cold drinks, and walking at the same pace as they do.

These seemingly random causes for love prove Ed’s point: if two people are meant to be together their love will be triggered one way or another.

T.I. is so good at the dice game craps that he could win even if someone rolls a “hard 4” – meaning they rolled 2 dice and got a 2 for both of them, a pretty good roll.

This refers to all of the times during this season where bold characters have “taken” things that they want but don’t deserve.

This includes:

  • McNulty literally taking his homeless cousin to a new city in the last episode, then taking pictures of him to send to Templeton
  • In a broader sense, all of McNulty’s brash actions taken in order to bolster his serial killer case
  • Templeton embellishing almost everything he writes and taking credit for things he shouldn’t have in his quest for the Pullitzer
  • Clay Davis taking money any way he can get it, then using this dirty money to hire a lawyer that helps him slime his way out of conviction
