T.I. : "I refuse to lose" "you know who to the you know where"
...T.I. was getting a bit tongue tied trying to come up with alliteration, recycling old raps from him still stanning Jay-Z's 9/11 freestyle and Takeover lines talking about Nas' baby mama even though he was on the same song as Nas, smh
must have been awkward an hell when Nas and TI collabed on Dr Dre's top down given how much of Jay-Z's blueprint T.I. copied and studied from Jay's Nas mistakes to not diss wordsmith legends trying to summer jam expose lil flip with a leprechaun suit and diss everybody in the south like 50 but with random rappers like shawty lo ultimately trying to drum up attention and sell records instead of staying in your lane and being great like mixtape Wayne, when TI lamed out and showed who he truly is on that reality show and fukked up his exaggerated southern accent in 2013 after ghostwriting for Iggy culturally appropriating an Australian pretending to be southern black woman from Atlanta
so TI tried to reinvent himself writing long-winded political tweets like he's Malcolm X, his daughter's hymen
, the sex trafficking allegation with the feds
, and then became a comedian with 4 big ass dreads and a fukked up hairline
just to re-jump start his career and regather interest just to flop again on his next album because his fukked up accent and long-winded Webster's dictionary rhetoric is getting in the way of what he actually has to say, to the point that Ludacris sees a void in Atlantian rappers with Jeezy moving to California, migos losing takeoff, and Gucci living in Miami to make his comeback
Ice Cube repeating lines and rapping crunk throughout the album is still low-key funny to me. Versatile West Coast artist... And then he did those 'fight the powers that be' Public Enemy-type songs on a later album and the industry didn't allow him to sell shyt, ffs
Nas taking jabs at people biting him even after Jay-Z retired and he was still venting out his leftover frustration raps from his arsenal still taking subs at mainly Jay and whomever else
So here you go y'all can take these thoughts
But anyway I'm charging MCs a late fee cost
So when y'all done with my style please break me off
But never make Nas mad just in case we cross
Nas snapped on this multi syllable
