David Banner's "Like a Pimp" (feat. Lil' Flip) appreciation thread

[H. Selassie]

Banner and Flip had dope chemistry on all their collaboes. Their opposite styles complimented one another.There were even rumors of a joint album which both seemed gassed at the idea and even talked about it publicly...







...then I can remember a Banner interview during the midst of the T.I./Flip beef when Flip’s rep was taking heat they asked Banner about it and he was juelzing like “ well...uh...I’m just tryna do my own thing and not tryna build off of standing next to someone else...yada yada, so on and so forth”...


often wonder how both their careers would have been affected had Flip (who was the bigger artist at the time) simply ignored T.I/ dismissed
him as irrelevant.

T.I. was the least of Flip's problems. Flip had people in his camp that were already distancing themselves from him before the beef. During the beef, Flip and T.I. had mutual collaborators. Most sided with T.I. Some of them just weren't THAT cool with Flip. Ke'Noe was one of the first people I saw going in about Flip. He left No Limit and became an in house producer for Flip, but they fell out. Ke'Noe ended up working with Toomp, but never really worked with T.I. until later albums.

They were distancing themselves from him cause they hated that he was ascending in Houston instead of them, so they started riding with Tip. Some guys stayed neutral, but a bunch firmly got behind T.I. simply cause they didn’t like the shine Flip was getting. Should’ve never got to that point, cause all Flip was doing as he was coming up was rapping and hooping.

I grew to hate that song that entire summer because my cousin would stay singing the hook every time, in any setting.

I would be telling him something serious and this remedial ass nikka would randomly cut me off and sing the hook, with a stupid collar popping gesture
