T.I. Completes New Album, ‘T.I. vs. T.I.P.’

Thursday, March 22, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


T.I.T.I. is putting the finishing touches on his next album, “T.I. vs. T.I.P.,” and has called on several big-name artists for guest appearances, on a project which he calls “a battle within myself.”

Eminem, Nelly, Lil Wayne, R. Kelly, and Justin Timberlake are just a few of the cameos on the Atlanta rapper’s upcoming LP, due to hit stores on July 3. There will also be production by Just Blaze, Scott Storch, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean, and Mannie Fresh.

As its title suggests, T.I. is adding a twist to the project – he will be rapping as two personas, himself, and his alter ego, T.I.P.

In a previous interview for Billboard, T.I. explained: “It’s basically a battle within myself. There’s not nobody out there doing what I do as well as I do it, so I see myself as worthy competition for myself.”

“T.I. vs. T.I.P.” will be released via Grand Hustle/Atlantic Recordings, and is a follow-up to his 2006 LP, “King,” which has sold 1.6 million copies.

Dude been talkin bout tip since trap musik. Actually he did the me vs me b4 cass..
Posted by bmack
Redman did it before uhh. I told u i didnt know my old school
Posted by no it all ( except old school)
If you knew anything about this n*gga career, you would know that t.i.p. Was his original name when he first got started. T.i.p. Represents his grimey side, the way he sounded when he was underground. T.i. Is that mainstream, flashy n*gga that he's going up against. But if nas or jay-z came out with this "overused" concept then i guess it would be ok. Right? you n*ggaz are funny as hell!

my keyboard is sticky. Oh yea just wacked off to girls on you-tube shaking their ass!
Posted by jarett
T.i is just a stupid ass commercial rapper who raps about the same things in every song he does. He might have some lyrical abilities but he doesnt put those abilities to good use.
Posted by writa revengin
I'm sorry but the originator of the split personality style is slick rick aka ricky d the mc..
Posted by BLAZEInfinite
Luda aint even from da south
Posted by urbanlegnd
This album going to be hot my bro copp this as soon as it comes out
Posted by big e'z
Just wondering how make tracks would be questions?
Posted by Borzo B
Nelly,r kelly and justin timberlake you gotta be kidding me ti is wack
Posted by lyrical monster
Luda was born in illinois but, raised on southern culture in georgia...therefore he is from the south.
Posted by True B.O.S.S.
What the hell are you all talking about??? so what if the style has already been done? rappers talk about guns, slinging coke, fu**king Bia'ches in every other song! does that mean they have copied another rappers style?! so wtf is up with you guys saying styles have already been done by some other dude?! listen to the music and then post your opinion. Some of you dudes make me laugh talking about styles have already been done, who cares, lets see how ti (tip) uses his abilities and try not to compare one rapper to another rapper, music speaks for itself, dont judge a book by its cover, lets not down this guy for challenging himself, personally i think this album will be a monster and i would like to think this album has been lyrically masterminded by the man himself, however if he doesnt deliver i will criticize(question) the man on his integrity to challenge himself... It may not be original title, but if the dude is challenging himself you'd expect something special. Word.

He did the alter ego battle with himself on one of his early albums before cass did it blood

Posted by MARIAH
Who cares if someone has done it before... If its tight is will be just that, tight! just because someone has done it before doesnt mean sh*t. But like earlier stated, if your fromt he south, tip is the underground/original so stop hating. T.i. Always drops hot songs and verse no matter who he is on the trck with!
Posted by DSGB rep
Just to clear up a few things here. 1. Ludacris is tight, but he ain't got shyt on dat n*gga t.i. 2. Lil wayne is better that luda but not as good as t.i. 3. T.i. Did the 'me vs. Me' getup on his first album "trap muzik" on a track aptly named 't.i. Vs. Tip' 4. Cassidy did it after t.i. 5. Someone may have done it before 'the king' but their shyt isn't as fire as his. 6. This n*gga is the best. He put southern rap back on the map. And i won't 'cop' the album. I am getting the real shyt. Cause i wanna support my n*gga so he can keep doing what he does. *i hope this clears up any confusion
Posted by KENDRICK (T.I.'S TRUEST BIGGEST FAN)
You can't call yourself a t.i. Fan if you keep bootlegging his sh*t. Take ya broke ass to the mall and spend 20.00 on the real deal.
Posted by KENDRICK (T.I.'S TRUEST BIGGEST FAN)
Dont jump on here comparing luda to t.i. T.i. Has been locked up in the last 4 years for possesion of firearm and possession. Then you got ludacris on realease therapy going at rickross dude cant touch rick hes to little and dont talked about how you aint never sold dope a day in your life and then 2 tracks later talk about hangin with your n*ggas sellin dope that makes you a fake ass n*gga.

T.i and his other personas tip is one of the hottest rapper out that. T.i is given you a double dose of reality...so haters get off his d@!k. I am not mad cause a n*gga is hating....but sit back and relax cause i know that n*gga ti...is going to to sell not cause of the hype, because that n*gga is the raw deal....

Man, i'm so excited for t.i's new album!! i've got much love for t.i!! and he's gona keep doing his thang!!
Posted by Cara
Who cares who did it the whole idea first, what's it matter? he's sayin that nobody raps as well as he does, so he's his only worthy battle. So what's it matter if someone else did it first?
Posted by Johnny Cat
Lil' wayne still has more lyrical talent. But both rappers are tight.
Posted by Johnny Cat

Posted by purple haze
As was previously stated 1. T.i. Is the shat!!!! ever since he dropped trap muzik his albums been hard. Name any other rapper other than wayne to follow that suit... 2. Wayne n t.i. Are in the top 3 greatest rappers of our time, u stupid f**ks!!!! who's the next one u may be askin'? all y'all ni**gas r forgettin bout my ni**ga boosie!!!!!! u probably bumpin his shat right now!! 3. Luda is cool, but he is a punch-line rapper, he needs 2 face da facts. Release therapy was a cool cd and had a tight concept but wasn't in comparison 2 tha previous albums. He is somewhere in tha top 5!!!! any questions??????..... {$ ya boi $}

Omg litsen guys, n*ggas like yung joc...debuted at 69k...and other weak rappers although they are sophmores (veterans) are wack. Ti might not have the best lyrics but he certainly has the swag, leadership, and make good music...if u litsen to it in ur car or anywhere its good music ... Nice flow, nice lyrics (although repetitive). Also so many kids look up to him and follow his swag. Plus hes the king. Although he doesnt sell as much as 50 ... He is among those top rappers....b/c hes the best of the south.
