T.I. talks about the Dirty Awards Brawl and chatting with Shawty Lo:

“We spoke,” Tip said. “I don’t know what that conversation meant. Shortly after we spoke … I felt that that conversation, those words, weren’t upheld. It was just a lot of nonsense. There’s no place in my life for that. There was a time in my life where I wanted no more than to indulge in that kind of activity. I went around looking for it, welcoming it. Now, I just done blown way past that. There’s no place in my life for it. What I told him really was, ‘I’m not trippin’.’ “

Tip and Lo have been going back-and-forth on record for more than a year, mainly over Lo’s jabs that Tip really isn’t from the ‘hood he claims to be from: Bankhead.

“It’s been over for me,” Tip said. “I’m looking way past this. I got way too much stuff that I’m involved in, that I’m looking forward to, to even be bothered with it. I wish you the best. Go do your thing. Peace unto everyone.”

Tip claimed that Lo’s words were insincere, because after that meeting, another fracas occurred.

“[After we talked], me and my artists go out there to do our song, and there’s a lot of negative feedback from right here in front of the stage,” he said. “That kinda sparked some things that I, once again, cannot condone, support or entertain. So I had to separate myself form the whole situation.

“I’m done,” he added. “Like I said, it’s a non-issue for me. I’m cool. I’m not trippin’. I wasn’t trippin’ before then, and I’m not trippin’ now.”

We wouldn’t be trippin’ about a rap beef if we were headed to the slammer either. Sh*t, there’s no security in the big house.

    Shawt Lo need to get it together maybe him and 50 should get together since they like to keep other rapper’s names in their mouth. Seeing as to how they can’t sell any records.

    Shorty Lo is a straight Beeeoootttcccchhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Who really even gives a damn about Shorty Lo no rappin’ azz. T.I. should have had somebody smack him like the sucker he really is.

  • The Face of an Angel

    Did you hear about the new Black Barbie?
    It comes with 12 kids, AIDS and a welfare check.

  • JK

    Please the shawty lo may have not be defined as hip hop, but TI defintely is. I am so tired of people talking about that New York, this , New York, that. Nobody is trying to be mean mugging in the club or in their car all the time, to that angry mess. Now I can give people like Jay-Z, and others their props. But, others nobody checking for New York, that is a fact, and I guess you know by now I am from the South.

    and what i said goes for most of the south rappers 2 , they all just flavor of the months

    Dumbazz Shawty NO must be drinking that syrup if he thinks going after T.I. is gonna bring in some record sales…

    How about this…make some quality records and then maybe JUST maybe you can sale. What he needs to be concerned with is getting some treatments for that health issue that he has.

    T.I. don’t waste anymore energy on Shawty NO’s disease-infested azz.

  • Sawyer

    Yup I’m sure when your freedom is being taken away for doing some idiotic foolishness, you too would reevaluate your past, present and future decisions! So for that T.I. I commend you and when you make a commitment to finally do good evil will follow to try to bring you down. You must ignore and rise above the petty BS. T.I. is finally doing some good stuff (albeit to change his public image) but regardless for the change it is a welcomed one.

    One you reach a certain level you can ignore them, i.e., what Jay Z did with Cam’ron.

    Wack ass Shawty Lo has a long way to go before he becomes a better rapper, business man or make the connects and become the role model T.I. was transitioning into before he f’ed up and got caught with them guns!

  • Pedro *THE KING OF NEW YORK*

    But i guess its the dirty souths turn , but dont worry New york will come back hard body , im not 2 sure about west coast doe

  • circa-81

    @ Pedro

    So who you think is the best rapper alive?

  • thatgirllinda1

    circa 81 who cares who he thinks the negro thinks he is the king of new york. suburban white kids or not hood negros aint buying no records. however they will sell you a bootleg for 5.00 bucks though. jay-z is the only ny rapper who people are checking for.

  • Sawyer

    …and as far as whats better NY rappers or down south…the real bottom line is if either coast (who cares which one) dont put out better quality of music, be innovate on ways to control how it is circulated the industry will continue to lose fans and sales.

    True hip hop heads arent even checking for a lot of these artist that get main air play. Its underground rap where you have to find good rap these days. But with all that being said the older I get the less of an ear I have for rap anyways, but I feel sorry for the newer generation coming up that have to hear the BS sh*t they promote today.

  • deanoe

    shawty lo is swag, e ad 1 ayte song, widda cuple next man onda trak called FOOLISH and dats it, otherwise e shud retire. but t.i is messy doe if i was t.i i wud’ve layd shawty lo out… still. hold tyte da south east n south west 9 soulja’s bang bang

    SHORT LOW DOWN,

    THE DUDE WEARS GEL IN HIS HAIR, NUFF SAID…

    TIP trying to be the bigger man and Shorty Low relizing his whole career gonna be flushed if he dont keep a rap beefo going. How much anyone wanna bet Shorty Low gonna try to beef with someone else while TI is doing his bid in jail..

  • JK

    Jay-Z did fall hard, cause American Gangsta sucked.

  • rome

    Pedro your first comment about southern dudes was so stereotypical. But, true to form, you open your mouth like a true northerner with a whole lotta talking and usually no action. You probably never been outside your burrough. You strike me as the type to come down south with all that and they find you on Sunday morning after the club in a alleyway with your pockets turned inside out and your face smashed in and you still don’t know what happened or who did it to you cause you was too busy talking to see the first blow comming!!! yeah that’s you! nuff said. Don’t even respond. I’m done. Dueces.

  • circa-81

    Big L. I heard a freestyle that nearly made me piss on myself.

  • ZILLA

    t.i. is a rat bastard!!!

  • ITS TRUTH

    @ Pedro

    How you goin to say Lil Wayne is not one of the greatest rappers of this era are your serious? Look on a serious tip pay real close attention to the lyrics in Waynes raps hes a genius ! i.e ” Dont let me be misunderstood ” serious for ALL OF YOU SO-CALLED HIP -HOP HEADS if you pay attention to some of the lyrics they have deeper meanings read between the lines thats what the problem is now with eveyone who claims to be hip- hop head your listen to the bass .

  • thatgirllinda1

    I know Solja Boy sucks but I’m just saying don’t put down a whole region.
    Personally, I like T.I., Tha Game, Nas, Q-Tip Common, Mos Def and Jay-z

  • JK

    Lil Wayne don’t have no deeper meanings in his lyrics. That’s bull, I remember when he was performing at the Skating Rink in BR talking about Solider Rag with Juvie.

  • circa-81

    @ It’s Truth

    Lil’ Wayne is aight….but to say the best. Hell no. I analyze lyrics and I have come to the conclusion that either his mind is too clouded to make sense, he isn’t trying, or he is just a half alright rapper that everybody is into right now. But by far I wouldn’t include him in a top ten.

  • ITS TRUTH

    Im saying one of the best of this era, not of all time give me a list of the top ten rappers of this era :

  • cliff

    the problem is t.i. is a grown man in a little boy’s industry

  • Pedro *THE KING OF NEW YORK*

    @ its truth

    I swear to god , i try so hard to listen to him but i just cant understand why everyone loves him lol I use to like lil wayne in his ” Go dj ” days he was a talent , and the carter 3 was wackkkkkkkkkkkkk C’mon seriously that was a classic ,all the songs were lil wayne was by himself were all rubbish and all the songs he had collabs he was outshined , That is nowhere near a classic ,

  • circa-81

    Hold on…….Let me think. I warn that most likely I’ll come from left field on you.

  • Pedro *THE KING OF NEW YORK*

    Im saying one of the best of this era, not of all time give me a list of the top ten rappers of this era :

    That list is impossible ,there is no such thing , but on top of peoples list will either be big or pac

  • JK

    I wouldn’t place lil wayne on this top 10 list

  • Pedro *THE KING OF NEW YORK*

    @thatgirllinda1

    Ok den ill remeber that next time b

  • If Money Is The Root Of All Evil, Then P*ssy Gotta Be The Tree!

    @Pedro *THE KING OF NEW YORK*

    Not to be funny, but I was watching the ride remix video, it was mo NY niccas doing cameos in a down south nicca video then I seen in a NY artist video lol thats one problem. I think 50 cent is the other problem for NY, that nicca wan’t everybody beefin, he a bytch he against any type of unity, that nicca is a coon in every since of the fukin word. Peep his actions!

  • Pedro *THE KING OF NEW YORK*

    “First things first then, the NY artists gotta stop acting like bytches all the time. In the south you have beefs no doubt”

    We use to show to love to one another but when Jay dissed Nas people started to take sides , then when 50 started dissin everyone in his own city , they were even more sides . I know there was rap NYC rap beef like in the 80′s but through the 90′s NYC rappers were so tight together , until jay-z wanted to be known as the king of new york. then 50 wanted to be the king of rap

    To the guy leaving the jokes…If your white (and the spelling you used leads me to believe you are) and you’re hanging around a black culture oriented gossip site leaving crap like this, then that says a lot about what you are. However, let me expain something to you…No One Gives A F*** what you think…You’re not offending anyone on here and you’re not making anyone mad. In fact, we’re just laughing at you. Enjoy your day and please keep immersing yourself in the black culture…maybe you’ll learn a little something about class.

    Actually, the new Black Barbie comes with an Ivy League education, The President of the United States on her arm, 2 kids and a resume that reads “First Lady of The United States”. She is also beautiful, tall, and an attorney.

  • jonjon23

    Its funny to me when people talk about the “genius” of “real” rappers like Jay Z, Rakim, ect. These rappers are in fact skilled with word play, but they don’t really hold any meaningful knowledge–its only entertainment. I think that’s one big problem with the black community actually. Instead of putting our focus on important things like getting an education and finding a good job, we look up to rappers and try to pattern our lives after what they say on rap records. Both Southern, West Coast, and East Coast rappers talk about drug use, bonin’ multiple females, selling drugs, and going to jail–self destruction. Negroes take this stuff so seriously that they actually beef about things as silly as who has the best rap style. You are exactly where “they” want you. I love rap, but it’s not that serious to me because I know that what 95% of them say on their records is pure fiction and what they rap about doesn’t make any impact on me outside of an entertaining melody.

    For people who don’t like southern music, don’t listen to it. how bout this… y don’t we have a battle.. North vs. South & c who wins. I put the USDA stamp on it that the south will come out he winner. I’m not saying NY rapper aren’t good, it’s just that there aren’t very many out there that have a message in there music like Outkast, Goodie Mob, T.I. Jezzy, Scarface, UGK, Trick Daddy, Dro, Killer Mike…should i keep goin? Im talking bout real artist not that other bullsh*t

  • http://comcast cc,

    Why are all these 5 foot 5 at 145 pound guys so tough…

  • bee bee

    I liked Shawty Lo’s song “Dey Know”, but honestly, I give him one more album and then he’ll be a thing of the past just like this “beef” is for T.I.

  • Freddy T

    New York let hip-hop almost die, the south saved it!

  • AJ Write

    No offense to Shawty Lo, but he is butt. He comes out of no where, tries to diss Tip, and Tip is trying to squash their beef. Like a jackass, he keeps coming back. So that leaves Tip with more info to come back, also.

  • Kev-Lo

    Ok first off bump shawty lo. he just looking for attention. second off i am from brooklyn born and raised and i live in the south. with that said i see pedro talking and i feel him on some parts. But the south has lyricist too. i can start with outkast. i shouldn’t have to even say anything after them. also jay fell off? u must no have heard the american gangster album. “selling drugs is sorta like using it/ guess theres 2 sides to what substane abuse is” or “looking at yourself in the mirrors backwards can’t even face yourself” or how about “while the new school doing numbers like soduku”. You must be a younging. also ti and wayne are not whack but i can understand your misconception. Its the same misconception the south has for the north (ny really)
    The way of thinking and life style is differen in each region thus making it hard to relate to the other. Sure the south has thug ish going on but lets be real its not as much people so it doesn’t seem as constant. for example a city about the same size as ny with even 1/2 the population (1/2 being generous) won’t see as many acts of violence. As opposed to the same sized city with twice its numbers. what ny rappers rap about is real. go to my hood and see. thats why a lot of people from the south can’t relate to ny rap right now. also people are more laid back in the south where we a lil more uptempo in ny. the south being more laid back would want to party more. this the inability for everyone from ny to understand or relate. all in all both areas puts out good music. u just have to adjust to that life to fully appreciate it. i aint like it when i first moved out here but now i love it. but i’m still on my brooklyn shyt

  • tyesha

    fukk shawty lo he aiint shyt he juss got in to the game n already sratin shyt wit sumbody who been in the game foe a gud lil minute….fukk wat he say “ti” keep doin yu ..yu gotta alotta hata juss remember dat

  • Do Much

    Yall say the West fell off. It wasnt because of the music because everything you hear in music came from the WEST. Niggas wasnt talking about the shit the talking about now until the WEST broke the line. The reason why the WEST cant get on now is because of FEAR. Suge Knight put so much fear in the industry that they made sure the first time he slipped up they would snatch it up and run wit it. People say Biggie was the greatest of all time and thats far from true. Yeah BIG was a amazing dude I will say, but to say he was the greatest is far to far. He only made 2 albums we never got a chance to see his full peak. Look at what Eazy-E did for Hip Hop. But they will say BIG because he saved the EAST thats why they say that. But Biggie did bring nothing to HIP HOP that made the game change. Eazy put a face on HIP HOP that will forever be there.
    TUPAC: That dude has dropped about 6 albums since his death, and continue to be on hot singles, come on now. Look at what SNOOP did for HIP HOP he may be garbage now, but he brought a style to HIP HOP that will be forever used. NIGGAZ DONT WANNA GIVE THE WEST ITS PROPS BUT THE WEST SETS TRENDS FOR EVERYONE TO RUN WIT. THEY FEAR THE WEST CAUSE THATS WHERE ITS REALLY GOES DOWN. NOT TAKING NOTHING FROM THE SOUTH OR THE EAST. JUS OPEN YA EYES A LIL FOLK
