One thing I'll never understand about rappers on SNL is how they always have to have a live band, even if that means the keyboardist is playing two notes 400 times over the course of the song. I'm not sure if T.I. actually tours with a full band, but minus the backing chorus he has here, the performance of "Whatever You Like" would have been fine with just a DJ in the background.
John Malkovich (the star of that movie Being John Cusack, or something) introduces the song, and T.I. continues his hat-barely-on heroics (as posited by Countessian here, he uses double-sided tape). T.I. also did "Swing Your Rag," but NBC has washed that vid off the internets. [Nahright]
T.I. »
It's true, T.I. does not need a band, just a DJ and some blokes who yell stuff. (And then maybe Rihanna and Kanye West for good measure, but they're probably optional.)
