Atlanta rapper Yung Joc recently took time out with to explain what really happened with his airport gun charge, his connection to the T.I. informant, and why his last album, Hustlenomics, wasn't better received.

As previously reported, the rapper (born Jasiel Robinson) is currently embroiled in a weapons case. Joc was nabbed at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport last month when he tried to pass through security with a gun in his bag.

Joc told, he was completely caught off guard.

"I wasn't aware of what was going on," he told exclusively. "I looked up and the folks in the airport was like hey ... everybody backed up. I'm trying to figure out, what the hell?" [See Below]

Later, he missed an arraignment, arriving seven hours late. Joc told that his lawyer first told him he wouldn't need to appear, and then his flight was delayed.

Media outlets reported the rapper was a fugitive.

"It looked like I had no regard for the judicial system," Joc said. "It made it look like here's another arrogant @$$ celebrity who thinks because he got some status he gon' do what the hell he wanna do."

While Joc's confident he'll be redeemed, he expressed condolences for friend and fellow Atlanta rapper T.I.'s current legal problems.

Tip is facing weapons charges for allegedly attempting to buy machine guns and silencers from an undercover agent in a drug store parking lot. The informant who helped the feds set T.I. up was a former security guard for Joc and his label, Block Entertainment. Joc said the guy was a negligent employee and he fired him.

Joc also refuted claims that he had anything to do with T.I. taking a fall.

"I read some articles that said, he tried to sell me weapons and I told him some sh-t about what I needed guns for ... That's some bullsh-t. I aint never talk to him about no sh-t like that," Joc said. "I would never do nothing like that. I ain't no snitch." [Watch here]

About Hustlenomics, Joc said the first single off the album, "Coffee Shop," didn't really connect with his core audience.

"I thought they wanted to hear something a little more club and a little more ghetto, something a little more to ride to," he said. [Watch here]

He tried to give the people what they wanted with the second single "Bottle Poppin," but by that time Lil' Wayne was "Poppin Bottles" of his own. "That's a good record as well," he said.

The rapper has high hopes for the third single off Hustlenomics, though, entitled "I'm A G," featuring Bun B and Young Dro. He recently shot a video for the track. [Watch an exclusive sneek peek here]

Joc's currently in the studio working on his third album.
