T.I. Channels The Black Panthers At 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards With "We Will Not"

Fresh off his Us or Else EP, T.I. performs the “We Will Not” cut at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Clad in a black beret, aviator sunglasses and a black bomber jacket, the Atlanta rapper pays homage to the Black Panthers with a performance that features protestors confronting a police officer. It doesn’t even matter that he seems to be lip syncing. It’s still a powerful message.

HipHopDX gave a glowing review of TIP’s six-track project, awarding it a 4.4 out of 5.

“He spits relentlessly over minimalistic but formidable production about refusing to take oppression lying down,” Aaron McKrell writes of “We Will Not,” which serves as the opening track of Us or Else.
