Tip dropped the ball with Yung LA and Young Dro.

They had the potential to run things (TI, LA, and Dro) for a minute.
Artist who are also label owners will rarely let a signee with a potentially bigger buzz, become possibly as popular.

It happen to Chingy/2 Chainz

Like you said it happen with Dro and LA.

Idk. Show me all the artist on the label and let's see how many of them have been successful.

They own fault. Tip went to jail twice at different peaks in his career. At least one of them times young dro coulda used his own buzz and went ham on features held the thrown and built his brand til TI came home. Same for anyone else on the label.

What they did what sit around on they habds til TI came home and got it poppin.

Only 1 i feel for was dg yola. Real talent. Real skills. One major hit that had atl clubs cray.

My cousin stayed in Allen Temple and cosigned yola was really out in tha streets (thats really what stopped him- he kept getting shot, or arrested for shooting mfukkaz)

dog, jason jeter is on record saying chit like "we are focused on just T.I. right now.

meanwhile, you have a roster full of buzzin and/or established acts sitting on the shelf. most of them came to grand hustle with a buzz and/or a name already in place

jeter is the reason why BG left. if tip was home, it'd be even worse.

lol. the whole time tip was booked, they were pushing his records like crazy, to the point where you'd forget that he was in prison.

Grand Hustle :mjlol:

TI ruined any chances that label ever had by going to prison not once but twice while he was super popular. Only artist they ever blew was B.o.B cause of records Atlantic hand delivered to him.


it aint about going to prison.

grand hustle is basically rocafella south. tip dont want to see nobody blow up bigger than him.

rocafella at least had dame keeping the other artists from being completely sabotaged. instead, grand hustle has jason jeter who is on the same page as tip.


Ok so where is he now?

I'll wait....

Maybe TI took him as far as he was meant to go.



Iggy Azalea, Young Dro, BOB


dro album blew up 9 years ago and we still aint get a follow-up.

iggy & BOB are pop-tarts. they can do their numbers without steppin on tip's toes. and even then, their parent label did more for them.


I mean, Dro's biggest record features T.I. Yung L.A.'s biggest record features T.I. Dro had several looks on Grand Hustle for his second album, but none of the songs took off. What is T.I. supposed to do? Feature on every song.


lol.

tip was expendable on those records.

dro's records on the 2nd album didnt take off cuz they werent pushed/

LA had a grip of records that took off and still no album.


that's a fact. people on the internet keep pushing the conspiracy that tip dropped the ball or don't want to see dro outshine him when dro himself went to the breakfast club and said tip set him up with a thousand opportunities but he kept fumbling and that the drugs messed him up for a minute. then t.i. went up there himself and said he saw in dro what drake is today, the potential to run the game and he wanted dro to be the star so he could quit rapping and just be the label head/actor but said dro never really wanted to be more than a star in atlanta and that anything outside of having a banger buzzing in atlanta everything else was out of his comfort zone, dude also said because him and dro are so tight it enable dro to basically not put in the work.

dro is one of them nikkas that's just happy with being known in the hood. he don't have the hunger/work ethic for more.


tip feeding a functional J.

dro gonna cosign whatever.

lol @ the thought of an extreme attention-whore like tip wanting to fallback and let another rapper takeover.

Here's Spodee interview with a lot of slick talking




TI with the response




On one hand I fully understand. Imagine being on a job for 6 years. Never even getting to do your job

I'm here 6 years and you won't even let me drop an album. What the hell else am I doing here


On the other hand. Leave and shut up. They got those years. You free now. Build your own shyt up. Stay connected and friendly and network

nikkas always wanna shyt on someone on the way out

If T.I. was so expendable that none of Dro's other singles without T.I. never took off. Dro had better singles on his debut that had videos than "Shoulder Lean", but they didn't take off. T.I. was on the hook for "Shoulder Lean" and it was what really made it take off. Yes, Dro ripped it, but this song came out with a T.I. hook at a time when T.I. was the biggest rapper in the game. Same goes for "Ain't I" except when "Ain't I" came out, T.I. was second only to Wayne.

did tip come up with the hook? other than that, he was expendable on the record. his role in the video wouldve been a sufficient enough cosign.

tip was dry down south when "aint i" was out. he was moreso just a mainstream/national rapper riding LA's wave and snagging all the big market credit from it. gucci & boosie were running the south by that point.

i find it funny how tip be hoppin on the records with these newer dudes that basically built alot of their sound off of dro & LA. the same guys tip held back. that chit is scust.

He's on the song. That was more than a co-sign.

:camby: at T.I. being dry down south when "Ain't I" was out. T.I. was the biggest artist in The South not named Wayne. Need I remind you that he had "What's Up, What's Up Happenin'" and some of the album cuts off Paper Trail that were big down here when "Ain't I" was out. This was 2008, not 2013.

the only rapper ti put on is iggy azalea

:camby:

But of course, The Coli would stand by a statement like this because this is where her fans flock together and pose as people who hate her music. Then be the first ones to make threads and mention her.

Yea I'd be pissed then. I would speak on it to Tip then. Not wait till I'm finally free. Then talk shyt to the world

Also knowing the whole time how big ti is. And how many friends and favors he's got out there. I know the moment I speak out, he's gonna fukk me over

On the other hand I can say what I need to say to him in private. And maybe even keep it kosher and get a free feature or a favor down the line and no black ball
