T.I. has evidently had a change of heart. After calling out 50 Cent for a Verzuz battle earlier this week, the Hustle Gang boss has decided to set his sights on JAY-Z instead. During a recent video chat with All Def’s Roast This, Tip broached the subject and immediately made it clear who he really wanted to battle.
“To be honest with you man, I want Jay!” he said. But Tip is evidently a realist and knows that probably won’t happen.
“Who can see [Jay-Z] sitting down to do a battle?” he continued. “If I’m a billionaire, I’m not finna do that, either, but me and 50 ain’t that far off. As far as our confidence, as far as our bankrolls go, we kinda neck and neck, whether he wants to [admit] it or not. And another thing, it’s personality. I need somebody who has a personality that won’t be so intimidated by my bravado.”
Even though 50 laughed off Tip’s call-to-action, the Family Hustle star still thinks he’d beat Fiddy simply because he’s “doper.”
“I don’t care who sold however many records, I don’t care who has more number ones whether that means I’m up, meaning I have more number ones, more records sold, less records sold,” he said. “Don’t care about that. I think my catalog is doper.”
Who's The Closest Rap Descendant To JAY-Z? Look No Further Than T.I.
Tip issued the Verzuz challenge to 50 on Monday (July 6) via Instagram.
“For your birthday I offer you a challenge, sir,” he said. “Pull yo ass up, man with 20 of your records, man and sit cross from me and get this work, man. But I understand if you don’t want to answer to that challenge because last time you got challenged, Kanye West dusted yo ass off so, you might not want to do that!”
The Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ OG responded by insinuating Tip must be high to think a battle between the two rap heavyweights would ever happen.
“yo somebody passed TI the weed they gave smokey in Friday,” he wrote. “LOL.” Check out his reaction below.
T.I. clearly need a hug!
This motherfucker has clearly lost his goddamn mind. Him beating 50 Cent would be questionable, Jay Z can pick even a garbage album and blow him out of the water. SMH. He should just call out Eminem, Kendrick and DOOM while he is at it. Challenge Black Thought to a freestyle battle.
You definitely need to go to, and listen to T.I.s catalog. He could definitely battle 50. And win.
False. His catalog is all duds and pop records he didnt even create after 24’s. SMD.
YOU obviously need to go listen to that bullshit. It seems that everyone in this comment section doesn’t agree with you. I wonder why? It’s probably NOT because you’re right!
TI is such a delusional dipshit lol
You got delusional in different levels, and on top of that you got a T.i smh.
T.I. can’t even win a contest on how to wear a fitted cap. He still balances it on his head to look like Disney’s Goofy.
T.I’s ego is a lot bigger than his supposed catalogue. As if he can go up against Jay, that’s some hilarious ish. Jay Z probably laughing, swimming in his pool of cash like Scrooge McDuck.
This would be a 1st round KO … TI’s catalog is laughable VS 50 or Jay or just about any other rapper out there … Maybe a VS battle against Ludacris or one of those other southern rappers … He don’t want any beef with any rapper from NY … His music is garbage and IG would laugh his ass back to his tv show … Worry about your daughters hyman, bro
Cocaine’s a helluva drug
Yall crazy.. T.I. definitely has an extensive catalog. 50 does toooooooo
50 Cent should accept as send Tony Yayo to do the video session. That will be enough to fight T.I.
TI has a decent catalogue but I prefer 50 Cent mainly because I can actually understand what he’s saying. TI always sounds like he’s mumbling but I do respect his content. He isn’t going to go hit for hit with Jay-Z though, that guy has an absolutely ridiculous repetoire. He’d be the last guy you’d want to challenge in that regard.
50 can win the battle with Get Rich Or Die Trying alone. Love Tip but he need to chill
Tip I fucks with you but 50 was bigger than you at some point. We ain’t gonna start acting like he ain’t shit. You need to chiillle hombre
Fuck I wanna see each one of them new albums no features new music ,then the truth will be they are both as washed up as your father work clothes , so out the two of them who cares, get rich or die tryin, king album , your best days are behind u fellas
