Following T.I.’s release from prison, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg chopped it up with Tip and expressed concern over him spending more time in the clubs than with his family, to which he took offense on his Twitter page. Earlier this morning, Tip paid a visit to the Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg show to explain why he’s been spotted at the BET Hip Hop Awards and in the club with Diddy.
“That’s my town, and the awards are in my town. My return is upon us, so why would I not go out there? Why would I not do what I do? Of course I’ve got other obligations that supersede the awards, that supersede… Would it be better for me to just let somebody from somewhere else come? […] That means my presence is needed. In my absence, my city has been somewhat absent as well. So this is the return of me and my town. Prior to that, this is my job, this is what I do. Going to parties and doing that, that’s part of what I do. I picked up paper at all them parties. And I’ve been gone for a while, so you don’t want me to get my money?”
T.I. said that if he lived in fear instead of going out on the town, he wouldn’t be the same man. “If I choose to be one who lives his life in fear of what could happen instead of preparing myself for what I know may happen, I’m not going to be the T.I. that everyone’s grown to love,” he continued.

t.i. look like a 16 year old boy
and you loooovvvveee looking at pictures of 16 year old boys…right, bruh?
Tip Be tryn his hardest to NOT smack A hater* (I aint a killa but dnt push me)
That you, Rza?
TI is a cornball, Atlanta has been rockin, unfortunetely, since TI went to prison, Gucci Mane, Jeezy and waka Flocka been poppin in ATL, But it don’t matter, ATL has crazy lame rappers. The obvious exception is Outkast.
None of these niggaz have the influence and the wide fan base TI has…hell Gucci been locked up more than not the last 2 years himself. He locked up right now….Jeezy has been fallin off slowly…Rick Ross stole his fan base…so NO…these niggaz have not kept it poppin. And suprisingly Luda has not either…so yeah TI is that nigga for the A…more than ever…
real talk man. hell, even T.I. himself went away for a while, and eyes were STILL on him. not on jeezy or luda. waka flocka showed up for 5 seconds, and that was it(and some’ll argue that wadn’tall dat either)
king of the south for a reason
Im sorry yall if you trying to defend ti,wakka flakka,gucci mane,jeezy and ross as mcs u dunno shit about hiphop. Dungeon fam,luda and outkast are prettty damn close to the only decent shit the south has EVER brought hiphop. Imo atl,fl(where im from),and no completely ruined hiphop. Harlems prolly the only place in nyc u can say aint as good as atl and thats cus big Ls one of the few to ever really rep it hard.
it’s so easy for fans,on the sidelines, to sit and call the plays and ask why about certain things when they are watching the game complete w/ camera angles and instant replay.
Most folks are not real players, simply popular fans. ie.Rosenburg. You can tell by his last statement…”put one in the air”, fail. trying to be cool but failing, by not knowing what cool truly takes.
in every society there are unwritten and written rules, to live by. the person that can master both sides of that society can be truly respected by those around him.
learning by losing is one way, but not the best way.
rosenberg is such a clown. he thinks hes so official. hes a dickrider, hes just as sharky as any other DJ. he doesnt play anything that isnt “cool” in some circles. hes a follower, like every other DJ. and who is he to say ANY grown man should spend more time with their family? you don’t talk about someone’s family, unless you’re family. rosenberg is a puke. hardly a dj. he doesn’t spin records, he hits buttons on a playlist and opens his fat mouth. he thinks hes saving hip hop by playing old primo records. break some new records that dont suck, shwo love to indy acts that been doing i forever. tip been handeling himself well since getting out.
you want some REAL DJs that go against the grain and only play great lyrical Hip Hop check out @RadioRebels on twitter. Fuck the mainstream!

Don’t have to listen to this to know Rosenberg was in the wrong for saying that bull. Who the f are you, you fraudulent DJ?
I’m glad TIP didn’t slap fire to this fool. I can’t understand people these days.
TI is fucking garbage
lol this loser goes onto every T.I. article to diss him, you’re the garbage sucka with some dumbass priorities, son
I speaks the truth nigga, and you r feelings look hurt because you support trash niggaz like this. Yous a lame
“”That’s my town, and the awards are in my town. My return is upon us, so why would I not go out there? …”
For real nigga?? those twelve kids (or whatever number he is at these days) are more yours than Atlanta.
i like Tip and all he’s a good rapper but he dont own Atl no more. sorry TI there are 40 other rappers that have names in that city doing it big. make smarter decisions and stay outta prison DMX jr and people might care.
