T.I. and Young Thug busted out some camouflage for the video for their collaboration "I Need War." The track is from September's Hustle Gang mixtape G.D.O.D. 2, XXL noted. T.I. took time out of his busy schedule of promoting his ninth studio album, Paperwork, to film the video, which features he and his crew getting amped up to play paintball.
"Hey, all I gotta do is make my plan," T.I. raps. "All the motherf--king games, I don't play my man / If I slap his ass now in the mouth, bet next / Time I see him, p---y n---a tryna shake my hand."

The Atlanta rapper stopped by Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club last month to talk about Paperwork.
"It's called evolution. At some point you have to grow," he said. "Even if you make 'em, you gotta go somewhere. On my ninth album, if I approach it like trying to recreate my second album, I could've been done at my second album. At the point where I run out of stuff to say, and I'm continuing to regurgitate things ... when you have learned everything there is to know about an artist or a person, then there's no reason to come back. What are you coming back for if you've already learned it all?"
"For his first album post-'Blurred Lines,' T.I. has brought on that song's mastermind, Pharrell Williams, as executive producer," Rolling Stone wrote about the album, giving it three out of five stars. "Nothing seems off-limits here — an X-rated slow grind alongside Chris Brown, a post-Trayvon political rant with Public Enemy-ish lyrics, and two unlikely Williams concoctions that sound like robo-Vegas Curtis Mayfield."
T.I.'s currently on the road in support of his album, which dropped Oct. 21. Last week, Drake and P.Reign joined the rapper onstage for a few tracks.
