Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
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 likeanytime 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

anytime he'd rep Bankhead.
type shyt. Tip bounced back strong though but LO name is solid in them streets.

You mean the consensus best verse? T.I losing the beef to Lo
