T.I. Insists 'No Matter What' Is Only Partly About Shawty Lo, Says He's 'Too Old' For Rap Beef
T.I. Insists 'No Matter What' Is Only Partly About Shawty Lo, Says He's 'Too Old' For Rap Beef
Wholly T.I. wanted was to birth his say. A few years ago, he at long last got a hazard to express himself and reflect on what he's been weathering over the past tense several months when he released "No Matter What," the number one caterpillar track from his upcoming Paper Drop back album.
"I would enunciate I recorded it plausibly around the holidays or January, something care that," Tip said of the strain. "[That was] when the hate was real new and I was counted out by most.
"I see things, get a line things, notice things," he added. "When I saturday down to spell it, wholly those things, the things that seemed well-nigh important, simply came out. I didn't deliberately write just about one thing or another; I hardly wrote from the bosom [nearly] the things that stuck with me end-to-end the ordeal, what I had seen on the news. It precisely came come out at the time."
"God will take you through the pits, simply to catch you to heaven," T.I. raps on the birdcall. "Even though it's heavy, the cargo I will carry/ Grin and still bare it/ Win and still share it/ Even when winning's illogical, losing's hush far from optional."
"In that location will definitely be more records like that," Tip said about what to look on Paper Trail. "You know how commonly on the album I'll do one book like 'I Still Luv You' [or] 'Still Ain't Forgave Myself'? It's gonna be significantly more of those [types of records] on this album. I gauge you could say thither are decidedly more songs that are just now as introspective, hardly as personal, precisely as well-written."
While the song is very emotional, Tip has also sparked approximately conversation online about his references to chap ATL repp Shawty Lo. "I don't think [thither ar] as many references as hoi polloi think," the King of the Confederate States of America said. "Alone the obvious one in the first verse."
T.I. directly referenced ace of Lo's catchphrases, "Let's puzzle, get, get it" from "Dey Know," in the i. He was retaliating for what he calls Shawty's ongoing subliminal jabs at him (listen to Lo's "Dun Dun" for an instance). On "No Matter What," Tip off spits, "[I] set the touchstone in Atlanta of how to 'get, get, develop it'/ So you up-and-coming rappers wanna orcus, scarcely wipe out it/ I'm formally the realest, point-blank, period."
Only one verse line from T.I.'s new song real set forth the speculation: "They couldn't waitress to say, 'Good night, shawty'/ So they could stress to rhyme, play and face like shawty/ Go get a flummox from Toomp and get to a thieve like shawty/ Earlier you bonk it, I'm back/ What it look like, shawty?"
Tip insisted that he wasn't talking almost Lo in those lines. "Simply because I say 'shawty' — anybody world Health Organization holds a conversation with me knows that 'shawty' is merely in my vocabulary," he said. "I wasn't oral presentation to him passim the criminal record. I was speaking on mass wHO took shots at me when I was down. He wasn't the only ace; he was among the most consistent. Just I'm focused on a greater goal. I'm non trippin' on that. Clotheshorse, that's not what's on my mind. I said what I had to say, and that's it. Whoever don't like it, so what?
"I saturday distillery in confinement, listening to folks dance on my grave — so they opinion," he continued. "Nowadays they gonna have got to sit down and listen to me. Take your medicine."
T.I. said he's trying to abide focused on his artistic creation, and a sustained to and fro isn't on his radio detection and ranging.
"I'm not looking to acquiring in that variety of stuff. I'm also old for that sh--," he said. "I'm not into departure endorse and forth. Let your book of Numbers talk. Permit your success tell the level. Let your bequest speak for you. If the only thing speaking for you is your articulation, then sh--, you ain't locution much. That's how I feel around it."
Composition Shack is slated for the last hebdomad of July or the number one hebdomad of August. Tiptoe plans to drop to a greater extent tracks earlier the LP's waiver.
