Did we ever confirm who T.I. was talking to on “I’m Talkin’ To You”?

[skokiaan]

He was talking to the feds

This.

All that subbing shyt leaves too much room for speculation and guessing. Eliminate all doubt and just say the nikka’s name.

ETA: Then again, the last time Tip openly dissed a rapper on a track (prior to “I’m Talkin’ To You”) we got Luda’s verse on “Stomp”. And we all know how that went.

I'll always give Luda props for not letting TI "Lil Flip" him



That's it though

 

[No Hook]

I don't know but Just Blaze was a beast

It's true, what goes around, comes back you know

 

[FreddyCalhoun]

I think it was 50

 

[CarltonJunior]

He always said it wasn't Wayne, but it was always Wayne. "the REAL President Carter"

Damn this flew by my head all these years...

Also IIRC this and Tha Carter 2 came out like within 2 weeks of each other. I don't feel like fact checking this though

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

Obviously Wayne. At the time, that was his biggest competitor despite them being "cool" with one another. Clown ass nikka will never admit to it, prime Weezy would've tore him a new one

 

[So-Chi]

Wayne was the ONLY person NOT mentioned Definitely him...

 

[OfTheCross]

Oh, wait...yeah..It was Wayne for sure.

"The REAL President Carter line" solidifies that

Bought this album and never caught that. I didn't think they had friction until TI called Wayne out for c00ning in 2016.

I found myself revisiting some of his earlier discography recently and on my commute to work I had an epiphany:

Just WHO was Tip talking to on this record?




I think he was even asked about it in his most recent Breakfast Club interview, and instead of being direct he gave some vague ass answer about the “process of elimination” or some shyt like that.

Which still leaves the aforementioned question.

Lil Flip

this would be my guess

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

He was talkin to YOU

He was talking to the feds

 

[John Mexico]

I always thought it was Wayne, i think I heard it wasn't tho

I think so too. He refers to Jay as the REAL President Carter

 

[BlackMajik]

I already did a thread on this shyt lol

It was either Wayne or Ross
