Anyway it would be a non sense if he starts to go back to that trap rap, especially after the tv reality show ahah! He's not relevant anymore.

Image is everything.

But if the image and the sales and music don't come together then it doesn't work. His image change has hurt his music and his sales have gone down, granted he went gold on No Mercy and is a little under that with his last album, but dude is trending downward.

nikka you just said fukk an image. Image is everything. Let's be real here Gangsta Tip is far more interesting than laid back Mr. Rogers T.I..

I agree in part with what he's saying, maybe believe is a better word then 'agree', but I think his music hasn't been very compelling since 'Paper Trail', and he seemed pretty passionate about that regressive 'Trap Back' song/video....

T.I. is not going back to that style.. that nikka snitch, so he know he can't rap about being the truth out in the streets anymore.

fukk rap and start working on independent films and other ventures. rap music is not a long term investment u should think of especially being 36 years-old and these white and sellout executives want u to make your race look more dumber than it already is

That's how it is being black in America. You try to be positive and you'll be completely ignored or shunned... but they'll be quick to put the camera on a negro when he's doing bad. Not surprising at all.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
last album was fire i dont care what it sold


"Can You Learn" should have been a bonerfied single.

Shiit was flames.

If anybody has that track without that "setup intro"... daps for paps.


On another note...

He's no longer promoting ratchetness themes in his music.

But Atlantic has been known to screw over their urban artists department.

Atlantic is illuminati run (just look at their logo with their horus "all seeing eye" symbol).

Since Tip no longer caters to their ultimate agenda, they'll slowly but surely do what they can to omit him from the game.

I feel him....But its like that for all the older trap guys like T.I., Gucci, Jeezy...

The thing is T.I. still be spitting though, I done heard about 3 features this year when he done went in...

But when you aren't "hot" nobody seems to care....

But I respect what he doing, he getting that VH-1 money and prepping his sons to be able to make money in the entertanment business...

As much as I would want the "Old T.I." back, If I heard him rapping about being in the trap or goiing sack for sack I would be like :stopitslime:

I'm still waiting for these rich black rappers/R&B singers to come together to form their own label and/or distrubution company and stop letting these wack suits dictate how their music sounds and when it comes out...

he released a single called trap back jumping.

why wouldn't you make that face when any rapper in booth talking about illegal fairytales?

TI is wrong and he just said this to stir up controversy.

TI knows that you can not beat whats New in hiphop.


unless you're Jay z.
