a rapper from ATL.quoted from Ti in an interview "Well my name is Tip. Anybody that knows me from the streets or knows me personally calls me Tip. My momma calls me Tip, my grandmomma calls me Tip, everybody. When I rap I say T.I.P. because when I say Tip, because of my accent, people used to think I was saying Chip, Chuck, you know.. so I spell it out T.I.P.
I got signed as T.I.P. but when LaFace Records merged with Arista that put me on the same label as Q-Tip and they didn't want to work two albums with names so similar. So they asked me to change my name to T.I. "

A brand created by Taz Arnold which is an acronym for the sentence: "Taz is so Arnold". The brand is featured by many artists such as Chris Brown, Tyga, Big Sean, Kanye West and more. It is mainly known for sewing its logo on top of a vintage item which can be re-sold for a price two or threefold the original. The most famous TI$A products are the TI$A Snapback hats which contain a TI$A logo and monster embroidery. The hats used by Taz Arnold are vintage remakes created by brands such as Starter, Adidas, Reebok, American Needle and etcetera. They also do the same for items such as designer sweaters, vintage jackets, shoes and many more. More recently, Taz Arnold has created their own line of TI$A clothing that features many parodies and logo designs. TI$A is notorious for it's out-of-the-world pricing, but still does very well in selling them; most notably due to followers of rap artists stated above.
Guy 1: Dude, I just copped a TI$A Charlotte Hornets Snapback hat for $110. Swag.
Guy 2: Isn't that a bit expensive? I got the same hat without the TI$A logo for $15 at a thrift store.
Guy 1: It's TI$A dude, get with the program.
