The actual Stomp record itself was some bullshyt the way it was recorded, Luda heard Tip's verse and responded to him on the same song (even tho that version with both of them never was on the retail version of "Stomp"), Tip never had that luxury of hearing Luda's verse and then being able to respond back. If you listen to both verses, I'd say Tip had the better verse, Luda had the most memorable line
As for the streets, by the time Stomp hit the streets in the summer of 2004 Tip was a more popular artist in Atlanta than Luda was. It was Tip's city, OutKast was going in separate directions, Lil Jon was doing his thing but Tip was really owning shyt on radio, in the clubs, had the critically acclaimed albums, it was his time. Luda was still popular nationally and in ATL, but the scene was changing to "trap music" and that wasn't his lane. Luda wasn't a street dude
The Shawty Lo beef wasn't spearheaded by Luda at all. Shawty Lo and Tip were/are both from Bankhead, Tip was from Bankhead Courts, Lo was from Bowen Homes. They knew each other & their two projects were only about 5-10 mins from each other. I'll admit Lo got him with "Dunn Dunn" but Tip recorded "What's up, what's happening" and did the video in Bowen Homes. Only outta towers looked at Tip crazy about not being from Bankhead, locals and natives knew what was up
Why was shawty lo and ti beefing in the first place?


(Random note, The catfish at Bankhead Seafood doe
)

they mustve swept that record under the rug.
