ATL…overly
:ohhh:

I didn't realize how many people TIP was dissing at the time. What was that Ross beef even about? Hell, why'd he take shots at Wayne? But yeah, bar-for-bar, Luda's just as good as anybody else in the South, when he wants to be. That "T-I-P of my dikk" line will forever be in the Southern Hip-Hop Hall Of Fame. Simple, yet scathing.

And good call on the Shawty Lo beef. I didn't know Luda was the spearhead for that one unintentionally. Seemed like Shawty had ATL's co-sign more than TI did by 08-09 at the height at that beef. That "Must be two-sides" song Shawty Lo had, really got at TI. That track had everyone looking at TI like :usure: anytime he'd rep Bankhead.

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

Wait, I thought TIP grandma lived way down Bankhead by Chapel Rd and overlook Atl? But Lo put a dent in T.I. rep for a hot second. Had Alfamega tryna cop pleas on some :whoa: type shyt. Tip bounced back strong though but LO name is solid in them streets.

ti was just bullying his way to the top. Ross was throwing shots way before but he ramped up the dissing when a kanye beat he had made a song to on port of miami called "listen" ended up being used by ti called "doing my job"

"In the mia nikka tryna keep it professional but all this tongue wrassling finna have me snappin I'm tell you"

Although tip had crazy momentum at the time, luda still put dents in the armor that wouldn't be felt until years later. Remember ti was super thugging at the time and no one was checking him. Finessed flip out the game, was taking shots at an upcoming lil wayne, old atl, and engaged in covert beef with rick ross

Luda of all people called him out on some emcee and street shyt and tip did nathan. The damage points really took affect when a real street dude named shawty lo went at him.


Shawty Lo slick got a win from it frfr. Tip was really bothered by dude

The 2 sides line hurt Tip in them streets. But his lackluster verse on Swagger Like Us hurt just as much on a pure music level. That was his chance to show he can hold his own the "elite" rappers and he failed. AND it was his song.

T.I lack lusture verse on Swagger like us :why: You mean the consensus best verse? T.I losing the beef to Lo :why: Was this before or after T.I shut down all that u can't come here broke nikka talk when he shot the diss video in Bowen homes? :why: Wtf is going on here.

Not to go too far off subject like a real coli nikka, but he did the great on that song.

To stick with the Luda shyt, no one saw TI as a bar for bar guy. Luda just reinforced what we all thought. Luda is a great rapper, TI is a great song maker (at the time, it's reversed over the years).
