Busta Rhymes made a recent appearance on The Fat Joe Show. While the two spoke on a variety of topics, including his forthcoming album E.L.E. 2, the Dragon made it clear he wants all the smoke with T.I. on a forthcoming Verzuz battle. “From one brother that loves you to my brother that knows I love him, I’m begging you to step in the ring with me,” he told Joe. “I’m gonna bust your ass.

T.I. on His 11th Album, All-Nighters in the Studio With Young Thug and 21 Savage
Clifford “T.I.” Harris is one of the greatest rappers of all time, the self-proclaimed King of the South. He’s also one of the rare MCs whose speaking voice isn’t a faint hint of the voice he raps with: he’s a thoughtful and loquacious guy whose vocabulary gets even more expansive when he’s not contained by a rhyme scheme. And it sometimes seems like he’s constantly holding forth with a continuous stream of thought as he moves from the vocal booth to reality shows to his podcast to film roles, an oratory that you just temporarily participate in when interviewing him for a half-hour. The rapper, who turned 40 last month, just released his 11th album, The L.I.B.R.A., with an all-star roster of guests including Young Thug, Lil Baby, Benny the Butcher, and 21 Savage. But the father of six also...

On the track “We Did It Big,” Tip raps about a friend of his urinating on Drizzy’s foot but it’s not the big act of disrespect that some have attempted to paint. Featuring John Legend, and produced by OgTha3, MXV, C Gutta & Ben Harvey, the song finds Tip looking back on the older days and shouting out his fallen soldiers such as Philant Johnson while also mentioning the tense times of his days in the trap. During the second verse “We Did It Big,” the line regarding Drake and his good friend Cap that everyone has been discussing is featured. “So much I can say about my n*gga Cap/Life as I know it, it started that day/I...

Smith were very vocal on social media and didn’t mince words when pointing out how wack Lanez was for shooting Megan.

T.I. Claims 50 Cent Gets More Respect Than Nelly Because Of East Coast Ties

T.I. Responds Expediently To Donald Trump Utilizing His Music In Unsanctioned Contemporary Propaganda
Source: Bernard Smalls for iOne Digital / Bernard Smalls iOne Digital While America’s attention is rightfully focused on police brutality at the moment, one MC has not forgotten about Donald Trump’s thievery. As expected the King of the South has put him in his place. As reported earlier this week the Trump administration got their petty on with a goal of slighting de facto Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The tactic repurposed T.I.’s hit song “Whatever You Like” to “I don’t want Joe Biden / don’t need Joe Biden”.

President Trump has once again taken a touch of creative license to slander one of his rivals. As spotted on Complex, Trump is using the culture to his benefit. Earlier this week, his administration took a very calculated jab at his democratic adversary Joe Biden. In an advertisement run on Snapchat, Trump’s team flipped T.I.’s classic “Whatever You Like” to downplay the former vice president’s ability to run the country. What would normally be “I want yo’ body, need yo’ body,” has been repurposed in a slick manner. The clip in question features some tricknology bars (“I don’t want Joe Biden / don’t need Joe Biden”) layered over various phot...
