T.I. Confirms That “Addresses” Is A Diss Track

    In a recent interview on Shade 45 with DJ Drama, an animated and heated T.I. discussed his song “Addresses,” which appears to be a diss track.

    “It was direct,” said Tip of the diss. “Now, the thing about who it was directed to – it benefits him more than me for me to put that out there. So I made that directly in a way that only they will know. Therefore, so they cannot get any shine off of it.”

    The Atlanta rapper surmised that others would step into the fray to bolster their reputations. “I’ma make a prediction… There shall be a few rappers that feel they will be benefited by accepting that burden, and they will step into that line of fire, knowing it is not them, but they will feel it is better for them to step into that line of fire, be hit and receive the benefits that come with being hit by a T.I. bullet. It’ll be the greatest thing that ever happened to them in their lives.”

    T.I. continued, addressing his unnamed foe. “It brings me great pain to say, had it not been for their outright, direct disrespect and disregard for the G code, and what is known to all to be real… they lack all integrity. Trap Music is a genre that I created, homes! Before me, it was Lil Jon, Crunk Music, and OutKast! You don’t fit in nowhere! The closest thing that come to what you do is what I created, homie. So for you to come out your face bad about me, dog, when I ain’t never do nothin’ but try and help you and niggas like you? …And you tryin’ to come at me that way? …You deserve everything coming to you.”

    2. I fuck wit you Tip but nigga you didn’t create trap music….Think bout triple six… ATL was a bunch of booty music before then sans outkast…

      1. nobody be thinkin about triple six(plus aren’t they from tennessee???)

        Jeezy and Tip single-handedly kept ATL’s prominence going. he wouldn’t have been able to dub himself King of the South if he didn’t pioneer trap music. you on something, homie

      2. The Fuck? they from Memphis Holmes BTW is in Tenn….they may have not coined the term but if you unaware of Project Pat then I don’t know what to say

      1. THE REASON WHY PILL is up next

        TIP

        1.REALITY TV
        2.NO MERCY was ICE WATER…duet WUTH THE PRINCE OF POP
        3.A FAKE “RETIREMENT”……much luv….PAPER TRAIL 4LIFE!…*smile

    3. Sorry Tip,but NO LIMIT was putting that trap shit down waaay before you.Thats all they was on was slangin and bounce beats,which=the trappin sound.Get off ya high horse mane,you BEEN makin pop music now for years and got that weak ass tv show,nigga killyoself.If you was a real man and king of the A or south or whatever bullshit you say,you’d said dudes name.Always hidin behind subliminals n shit lol!

    4. UGK and E40 were the first rappers that I can personally recall that we’re explicitly talking bout dope and numbers and all that. So I don’t know what TI is talking bout smh

    5. I’m with ya Tip, but Trap Muzik was in the A before TI. PA was doing ” Dope Stories” back in the day. Which is cool because TIP came in the game under PA……You took it to the next level, but let’s give PA their due, TIP.

    6. some you niggas on some bullshit.. y’all treating this like wrestling. T.I. confirm he got a diss track on the LP, and suddenly it’s all “he ain’t sayin names!” so fuckin what! what does it matter to you? he said he’s focused on that sack, of course he won’t say names… we all know who the fuck he’s talking about it ain’t rocket science

      1. LIL BARS took care of D’EM….*smile

        now,..THAT GAME & LIL B have done a duet…..

        JESUS PIECE WAZ A “rite in” for best 2012…

        JANUARY 2013…THE WAR ON THE CHART$!…..GK,MC SET IT OFF WESTSIDE/OHIO CONNECTION…..CALIFORNIA LUV!….*smile

        TDE = THE #1 INDIE ST8 STReeT/TRAPP/HOP LABEL!..BOW DOWN!…*smile

    7. Clifford Harris is a great rapper and even better businessman. I hate that him and Wesley Weston had to beef with each other, because it messed my legal flow up.

    8. Am I the only one that thinks T.I. took cool breezes style and ran with it? I don’t mean that as a diss I just think he could have mentioned him I remember cool breeze pushin dope on wax way back on ATLiens……

    9. T.I WONT SAY ANY NAMES OUT LOUD BECAUSE HE FEARS FOR HIS LIFE. THE NIGGA IS A BITCH, A SNITCH AND HAS AN UGLY ASS WIFE.

      FUCK YOUR STUPID SHORT NERDY LOOKING ASS TIP. GUCCI MANE AND ALLEY BOY WILL MURDER YOUR BITCH ASS.

      T.I NEEDS TO STOP SNITCHING WITH HIS RETARDED LOOKING ASS.

      FUCK T.I AND MALONE

      MALONE IS A BITCH. JUST LIKE T.I

      GUCCI AND ALLEY BOY RUN THE A NIGGA.

    10. I wish people would shut up with the snitch bullshit. His best friend was killed so I don’t blame him for testifying. I know if that happened to my friend I wouldn’t let the killer get away with it. And yes it was trap rappers before T.I. but he took it to another level. “Dope Boyz” is one of my all-time favorite tracks.

    11. Wack ass nigga holding a gun on the cover. He a black felon and got caught with a gun and did less than 2 years. SNITCH!!!!

    12. The way that TI says “All that placin and the poppin you be doin for them hoes/How I run up with that choppa, give it to you with them hoes” sounds kinda like he’s mocking Gucci’s flow. And then he says “Never been robbed, never got my chain took” probably referring to 2005 when Jeezy offered 5 digits to who ever stole and brought him Gucci’s chain

      1. “Never been robbed, never got my chain took”
        yeah, but ti got his cornhole plundered by the CO each time he went to prison. No sense acting tough now. Even protective custody got him a cavity search.

      1. ok, really? Tip never said he was gonna retire, he said he was considering it but you niggas will take everything at face value yet again.. like everything a nigga says need to be taken as gospel. you side of hip-hop fans doin that, kill yourselves.

    13. I like TIP always have but makin dissin tracks without sayin names and actin if he did call em out its gon give them any shine is giving yourself too much credit..

      Let’s say he did call the person out and gave em that “shine” its not like that rapper is gon increase his sales by a significant amount unless he was a Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye and Lil Wayne (Those are the cats whether u like it or not are the ones only going platinum these days)

      Just say it homie, it’s prolly Gucci u talkin bout he ain’t gon sell anyway… I doubt he talkin bout Alphamega like someone on the post mentioned, that man dug his own grave and really not relevant enough for TIP to go at…

      1. malone im not saying ur mom wont b able to breathe while shes sucking me just that she wont b answering wen u call thats all

        sincerely ur moms nutrient supplier

    14. he’s talking about Alley Boy …. that line when he says Keep on, I show these folks on tape how you a sitting duck. is a shot at him. Alley boy’s label or gang is called duct tape.

      1. Just ignore him he’ll go away. By the way what are your thoughts on oral sex being introduced into the Jewish community?

        Sincerely Yours

    15. I like TI, but i hate when rappers do these diss songs, and either say it wasn’t a diss, then turn around and say “well if he felt like that, he guilty”, or this shit “im not gon say names.” DAMNNN we grown ass people!

    16. It was that guy who was goin off dissin random people recently. i remember t.i’s name came outta nowhere. thats what it sounds like. i can’t remember who it is…I think it might be gucci mane…?

      at the end of the day its another stunt though

    17. WOW TIP…You’ve sunk so low as to diss someone for albums sales, but then don’t have the balls to name someone. Just lost a long-time fan. That goofy reality tv shit isn’t cool or you being a “BOSS” you’re just a clown like the rest now

      1. man you a bitch. it ain’t that hard to figure out mr. longtime fan… you want a family man callin out hood or even wannabe hood niggas, you nuts

    18. I’m not saying you can’t post your comments. I’m just saying since Malone has assumed control of this site the comments that you post might not be read. That’s all I’m saying.

      1. I don’t know, T.I. recently said he’d like to work with Jeesy and Gucci. I hope it’s Gucci though and it’s very possible.
        It has to be someone from atlanta doing trap music.

      2. U dnt kno WTF u talking bout Pac was always the same until u crossed that thin ass line Pac talked down on trashy chicken heads but always political fool do yur home work dummy yea he got emotional when cowards and suckers were on B.S. R&B singers do the same sing songs about getting laid until feelings got hurt Dream a prime example yall fools need to stop speaking on shit that u really dnt know do yur homework fools Luda raps about having fun until u step on those toes and then he smashes yall favorite wack azz rappers who trying to make a name or sell records for themselves so stop hating and pick up a book and read maybe next time u want speak until u kno wut time it is and thatz real talk

    19. if you not gonna say names STFU!! im so tired of this bipolar azz n1gga., one minute you wanna be inspirational and the next you wanna be a gangsta. grow up and be a man. you have too many kids to keep all this flip flopping up..

      and im a TI fan…the father not the rapper… the rapper is becoming washed up

      1. If you think about it 2pac was the sameway….one minute he was politcal, thuggin it, emotional..certain times he took up for women sometimes he slayed em..so this ain’t new…

      2. A person can take only so much. At least he taking it to the record beef and made an offer of a sit down. You know the saying: you can take a person out the hood but you cant take the hood out the person.

    20. Its Alley Boy.. Listen to the last bars.. i’ll show these folks on TAPE how your a sittin’ DUCK (DUCT).. Duct Tape is alley boy’s record label..

    21. He’s getting at the whole Duct Tape crew: Alley Boy, Trouble, everybody.

      They’ve been sending shots at Tip for a while now, I Want In, Richer Pussy, No Worries freestyle, Hate In My Blood, they’ve been calling dude out by name and in their videos.

      1. Alley Boy is signed to Master P and Tip is cool with P, so it’s not him. It’s not Gucci Mane neither. It’s some artist who doesn’t have nationwide exposure yet, but already has millions from drug money.

      2. Alley Boy called Tip and his homie Jeezy out, it don’t matter shit if Tip is cool with P no mo. it was about Alley Boy

    22. This is the real Malone. Please ignore the troll using my name that’s been annoying all of you, he’s all played out already. With that out of the way, TI must have definitely aimed this diss at Alley Boy.

    23. uptil I saw the receipt ov $6892, I didnt believe that my cousin was like actualie taking home money parttime from their laptop.. there mums best friend started doing this for only 10 months and as of now repayed the debts on their house and got a new Saab 99 Turbo.

    24. I’m sorry that I must troll this post… you know how it goes. Hiphopdx, ya’ll need to get ya’ll act together.. lol

    25. Well if your spitting bars and coming out saying it was a direct hit, its a shame you wont name who it is VIOLATING THE MC CODE!

    26. Basically Tip is trying to keep Gucci Mane from dissing him, by putting out the location of the meeting the rapper he is dissing met him at. Once Gucci Mane saw this video, Gucci instantly knew that Tip doesn’t want any problems.

    27. He’s talking about Trouble. Trouble just did a song with Tip earlier this year then he turned around andd threw shots at him. He knows Alley Boy and that whole click will have something to say about thats why he said that about other rappers.

    28. IF TIP IS WASTING HIS TIME ON ANY OF THE NIGGAZ YALL MENTIONED, THEN HE’S SHOWING THAT HE AIN’T NO KING AND HE’S COMING DOWN TO BUM NIGGAZ LEVELS.

    29. Alley Boy just signed a $2 million dollar deal with Master P and P is real cool with Tip, I don’t think Tip beefing with the Tank. Master P is still worth $300 million, even though he was worth $600 million some years ago, but that’s still more than Tip is worth. Tip dissing some broke rappers, which Master P ain’t been in 20 years.

      1. 50 Cents isn’t on top anymore, however, him and Master P are still richer than everybody except for Dre, Jay Z and Diddy, so we talking money. Master has way more money than T.I.
