T.I. has gone up for numerous causes over the years, from his boycott of Gucci which Jim Jones may now ride for, Black Lives Matter and others. Following comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan apologizing for his use of the word “n-gga” and seeing over 100 episodes of his The Joe Rogan Experience pulled from Spotify, Tip took aim not only at Rogan but enablers of individuals who say “n-gga” with no real consequence.
“N-ggas don’t really care, for real,” he told comedian Donell Rawlings during a recent interview. “I ain’t gon’ lie to you, like, you can call the community of Black people’ n-ggas’ as long as you send them a check.
“You know what I’m sayin’? Muthafuckas will sell — they’ll sell a little bit of they ego. Little bit for sale. They might not wanna do it in front of everybody but nobody really give a fuck like that, for real.”
Tip’s comments regarding Rogan and explaining them to Rawlings come after Rawlings himself seemingly came to bat for Rogan over his previous use of the “n-word” being compiled into a near seven-minute compilation and shared on social media.
“If you dug threw a comedians words and jokes from the past 20 years we all would be canceled,” he tweeted on February 5.
Rawlings didn’t specify if he was referring to Rogan’s controversy or comedy in general – a fraternity T.I. has joined quickly.
Initially taking comedy up as a hobby to start 2022, the self-proclaimed King of the South has become a fixture at comedy clubs across the country. During a recent set at the famed Laugh Factory in West Hollywood, Tip joked about a woman’s breast augmentation surgery to howling laughter from the audience.
“If you got saggy titties you don’t need to go get no operation, you don’t need to get no surgery,” he said. “Get a n-gga with some long arms so he can hit the muthafucker before they God damn hit the ground. You just gotta make better decisions.”
Isn’t this the same guy that had to show off on insta how he only wears one pair of nike air force ones and then throws them away? You’re one to talk about a topic like this smdh.
Right, as opposed to rappers making a living saying the N word a billion times an album. But let’s lose our minds because a podcaster used the N word while quoting the black people that said. The mental gymnastics that people do is incredible.
It’s not though. We took a word and stripped the power from it when we say it to and amongst each other. White people kill me, y’all literally got everything and still can’t mind ya’ll business on this?? Why the fuck do you need or want to say it in the first place? FOH
If you truly stripped it of its power than why does everyone lose their shit over it 2 to 3 times a week?
Who is losing their shit? Just letting you know that the shit won’t be tolerated. You need to learn the difference. If someone was losing their shit, I’m pretty sure they’d come to see them about it in person and beat the perpetrator’s ass or worse.
What power did you strip from it exactly, when you can’t even hear a word that you use regularly, being used in reference without losing your mind? It’s the mosty idiotic logic you can possibly come up. Most white people don’t particularly want to use the word (I’m not white by the way but nice try on the race bait), some people just notice the staggering hypocrisy involved. If you don’t see the problem with someone cherry picking words completely out of context in order to slander someone then you’re not rational enough to even have this discussion in the first place.
White people have everything? LOL. There are more poor white people in the US than any other demographic buddy. Also, the first amendment. It’s a corny word used by stupid people. It shouldn’t have any power at all. Rogan was directly quoting people when he said it. Dude is the furthest thing from a racist imaginable. He has made several black people millionaires by giving them a platform. If a white person tells you what N.W.A. stands for, they’re racist? If a Latino sings along to Wu Tang, he hates black people? You’re an idiot. Like T.I. is. Words are meaningless. Actions dummy. Actions.
Don’t listen to them then. I’m pretty sure they’re not making money because they use the N-word. The rapper who has sold the most records is a white guy who has enough sense not to use it. Pretty weird that white people demand that they be able to use this word that black people shouldn’t be using either in the first place. Let’s you know what’s really going on with you dickheads.
Calm down dude, you’re losing your shit. Btw, where are all these white people I keep hearing about demanding to be allowed to use the n-word? Oh, you must mean the people pointing out the hypocrisy of situations like this. You need to learn the difference.
I’m losing my shit, lol. I could care less. However, white people are not going to use this word and be given a pass for it. Sorry. Get over it.
From what I’ve read Joe Rogan was quoting others who used the word, context means everything. Anybody can edit clips together without any context behind them and idiots like T.I will think Joe Rogan is the KKK.
Let us not forget that this man is running with the feds… T.I. always stood for = The Informant
Speak for yourself. I don’t fuck with that shit when non-black people try to rationalize that they can use it, and I don’t use the word. Never have. I tell black people it’s ignorant when they use it. That’s all I can do, but that’s them if they want to walk around saying that stupid shit.
No one cared 5 minutes ago about this. Why now?! Anyone acting like they do now has the battery put in their back for a purpose, and it isn’t about the word. Can we all stop and think about this for a minute?
T.I. Always speaking on racism in this country. As a 3 time felon, white record labels and media made him worth over 50M. Sounds like a real struggle. Rogan was directly quoting people every single time he said it. He then sincerely apologized. That video of him mashed up saying that isn’t even o YouTube anymore. Strange. LOL. When no one buys your garbage records and sees your one movie, you start doing horrible stand up and attacking people for clout. Rogan would kick the shut out of you BTW. He would actually just talk circles around T.I.‘a simple Simon ass. Him and Tiny setting black people back 50 years.
Stop acting like T.I. Is a stand up comedian. He is paying to get up and bumping REAL comedians. I live the way this hacky site keeps referencing his one horrible joke about tits that got half a laugh.
