T.I. & Shawty Lo: The Whackest Beef Ever Just Got A Little Interesting [Video]!

Damn! Can T.I. enjoy the birth of his new son for a day before people start attacking him? I really thought that I was done talking about Shawty Lo and his pointless attacks against the self-proclaimed "King Of The South" TI.

On the strength of my new found relationship with the people over at Grand Hustle [not to mention that it was just plain corny] I thought that I'd bow out of this mess before it got ugly. But a new video has surfaced that does question Clifford's real hometown. And at the end of the day I am a blogger SOHH I got to do what I got to do. Check it out below.

Thanks to a faithful reader who I know wishes to remain anonymous just put me on to a new video on Worldstarhiphop.com. It seems that someone who grew up with Tip has posted his high school year book picture from Riverdale High in Clayton County. As we all know Riverdale is a far cry from the streets of Bankhead which I believe is zoned to be included into Fulton County [but don't quote me on that].

Here's what the tipster is saying about T.I.'s questionable hood claim:


"T.I's high school is in Riverdale in Clayton County, (Outskirts Of ATL). It is not close to Bankhead at all this place where you would probably want to move to get away from the trap. Bankhead is westside the city clayton county (southside) is where riverdale is it is 30 or more mile away from the city of Atlanta".[Source]

Check The Video:

All this still dont mean a hill of beans to me. At the end of the day T.I. is still "officially the realest, point blank", period as it relates to Shawty Lo. But y'all tell me, is this something that questions T.I. creditability? I mean if we found out that Biggie AKA The Notorious BIG was actually from Connecticut rather then Brooklyn would that change anything?

Talk to me y'all

You idiots didn't believe Lil' Flip in Beef 3 a long time ago when he said, "He ain't from Bankhead, he from Riverdale." I guess what goes around comes around T.Lie aka The Informant. Y'all some old bandwagon ass niggas

Yo Gyant why the fuck you find it a point to disrespect my State CT...your obviously ignorant if your thinking theres no hoods or what not here...Hartford for one...thats some real shit, you dumb fuck obviously you are very ignorant to the fact that there are hoods everywhere...get the fuck outta here

hell yeah it would change everything if big wasnt from brooklyn like he said he was. As for T.I he been claming bankhead since I aint never scared. " Um from Bankhead nigga I'll take yo cookies" If he aint from bankhead dude looses all creditability from me not just from a street nigga point of view just if he is lying about this what else is he lying about. But with all that said cant nothing take away the way the dude raps

I gotta agree with you on this. I'm not even a T.I. fan like I used to (his last hot joint was the first 12 tracks to Urban Legend..lol) but at his worst, he still better than Shawty Lo. He sound like mostly everybody else who calls GA home. This ain't surprise me no way. If people really remembered the TI/Lil Flip beef, Flip said he was from Riverdale about 4 years ago. Most of the best from GA ain't from ATL no way...*shrugs*

its just music, what does his origin have to do with anything? have of these rappers have fake backgrounds anyway, next!

That's like If I became a Rapper
Since I never sold drugs I Can't Rap

Damn son, can't wait to see what tip says

www.youtube.com/joe4sho86

Who cares? Fuck Shawty Ho's no rapping azz.

CONNECTICUT GETS GULLY YOU COUNTRY ASS NIGGA!!! YOU PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE BRIDGEPORT IS. A HALF HOUR FROM THE BRONX BITCH. YOUR COUNTRY ASS PROBABLY COULDN'T EVEN SURVIVE WITHOUT SOME HAY ANYWAY!

CONNECTICUT STAND UP!!! 203 & 860

no i dont think it would change anything regardless of where he is from at the end of the day he still gon be T.i. i dont know wat shawty lo is doing he know T.i is competition and bankhead shouldnt hate cause T.i putting them on da map he one of the hottest rappers out here rite now all i got to say keep ya head up and f**k these haters

Its Funny..i dont see riverdale H.S. on the pic...its also funny as hell cuz riverdale/clayco is terrible now. but it also funny shawty lo has nothing else better to do than to go on bankhead everyday and ask people if T.I. is from there. but i like both of dem squash the beef man...but lo dont be mad cuz somebody dont wanna do a song with you, and then you talk about them and they put out a song and talk about your ass too. you should hush before he start talking AIDS...i heard you was the man to see in bowen homes for more than that crack!

Of course it questions it is that even a question?
I love T.I but common homie rep your hood. Done scream BankHead when your not from there and then on top of that not throw it up to dukes that are actually doing shit in the projects you talk so much about. It was one thing to rep a hood your not from but to act like he doesnt have to acknowledge L.O commmon TIP I cant respect that.
P.s
congrats on the baby boy.

Now i'm pretty sure that 90% of the respones will be for t.i, being that the majority of his audience is in the suburban community. And with all of the rappers and industry people accepting this type of perpetration as the norm, i could understand why they would do so. but all of the real cats know..... that ain't cool. And people cant get mad that he was called out for it by shawty lo... a dude from off bankhead. now although t.i has made his money and could care less about what others think, my question to the suburban community, is it cool to be fake?

Yes it does ruin his cred to me. First of all this is the same thing he did to Flip and Flip is actually from Cloverland and was there when T.I. went there. So all yall can get of T.I.P.s dick. He pulled one over on yall too bad. I thought hes been trappin poppin pistols since he stood 4 ft.? Guess not haha. He is just a fabricator lying hypocrite point blank!. So his King Of The South is revoked from now on!. He's a liar and maybe a snitch!

haha...who gives a fuck...that year book don't say what school it is...Shawty need to focus a lil more on his music and get off dude nuttz

like come on its plenty of niggas from new york who go 2 skool in jersey 2 get there educationwho wanna stay in da hood 24/7 like nigga how can u clown him 4 dat shawty lo is cornjy 4 dat real talk

like come on its plenty of niggas from new york who go 2 skool in jersey 2 get there educationwho wanna stay in da hood 24/7 like nigga how can u clown him 4 dat shawty lo is cornjy 4 dat real talk

like come on its plenty of niggas from new york who go 2 skool in jersey 2 get there educationwho wanna stay in da hood 24/7 like nigga how can u clown him 4 dat shawty lo is corny 4 dat real talk

T.I. = Snitch & Wanksta

niggas dont need to be claiming shit that aint true.....and why folks keep tryna say T.I. from Riverdale like thats a "good" or "Rich" part of Metro Atlanta nah it aint in the city but its some hood shit happening every time i watch the news somebody getting shot in clayton county aint nothing compared to Bankhead true enough but dont act like aint shit happening in some parts of Clayton County.....Let some shit come out saying that nigga from alpharetta or conyers or some where like that then i would trip a little bit

ummm that's tip middle school pic not high school...also bankhead is zoned into fulton and cobb county....so it could be possible that tip spent some time on bankhead, but not lo's section of bankhead .. check tip's record most of his arrest are in 'cobb county' not 'fulton county' bankhead has quite some length to it so tip may have been doing his dirt in the cobb section, lol..hell who knows but why ninjas arguing over blocks they don't own anyways??

Ive read and heard countless people talk about TI as a hustler aka trapstar in bankhead! this man has ploice records and jail time to prove hes done what he raps about! Really who cares where hes from! Shawty Lo mister D4L member aka Laffy Taffy? why beef with TI when your album was a dud?!?!?! TI is the realest, I doubt this is accurate, his first album he was like high school age and didnt look like this! TI has credibility and album sales! Would somebody please get the driver license pic that shows lil waynes real age, now thats something to Blog about! he SWEAR hes an eighty baby! Shawty Lo vs TI! no one will pay this any attention! and TI already WON before there was ever any BEEF! I doubt this is TRUE, how TI destroyed Lil Flip about Cloverland, Im sure he has to be where he says hes from! Shawty Lo LOSS long time ago!

Nah man it dosent question T.T.'s creditability because he has stated before in his rap " Bankhead where I stayed Riverdale where I was raised" ...so Shawty Lo can go somewhere with that bullshit man. He been actin all cool with T.I. until recently(when t.i. got arrested) so to me he a damn hypocrite, how you gon smile in t.i.'s face, go clubbin wit him and bullshit like that when you aint really feelin him like that. Nigga is garrbage,period!

Why do you say this is the whackest beef ever? Are you being biased? I know both are from ATL but were you saying it was the whackest beef ever when T.I. and Flip had their beef? Prob not. You prob had T.I. on that one but when someone does something similar to T.I. you say its whack and Shawty Lo should stop. Were you telling T.I. to stop when he was saying all that bullshit about Lil Flip?

It don't really mean shit cuz niggas fail to realize that out here on the westside we had to grow up way before our time so me and my niggas was trappin as early as the 5th and 6th grade. so even if this man went to high school in riverdale that still don't account for the years before that. even if he stayed in bankhead for one year its still a part of him that helped shape his person. and as from what comes outta this man mouth he pretty trill if u ask me so I don't give a fuck if homes from macon, he still a ill nigga. I'm tired of all these creative ways niggas come up with just to hate. it aint where yo from its where u at and tip is on top like it or not. any nigga who would endorse shawty lo is a hater. its appaling this nigga even get airtime. we gotta raise the bar and stop lettin just ANY nigga kick that shit over the airwaves. who wants to hear what a fuck nigga gotta say anyway. I'm bout done wit rap anyway, a nigga gotta have a library for me to listen from now on..

Hell's yeah it would! It would mean Biggies whole persona is a lie. Shawty Lo is whack but TI needs to rep where he from.

check out da beef 3 dvd. flip sais it. t.i. is 4m riverdale.

Okay...but if T.I aint from bankhead why you wait til 6 or 7 years after he started rappin to say he aint from there? if you was really a real nigga and mad about somebody false claimin your hood, u wouldnt let that slide by that long now would you. notice he always asks group of small children who he probably bought ice cream for do they know TI. then he stay at club crucial..which is TI club! LO i bump your muzik...but chill it aint that seroius

nah i dont think it matters where your from if u can rap u can rap simple as that. The idea that u have to b from the roughest part of town in order to b considered 'real-enough' to b a rapper is *ludacris* lol (pun intended)

Didn't Lil Flip say this back when him and Cliff was beefing.

I stay in florida,neva been 2 georgia,so I caint even speak on this situation...but alotta cats rep the cities that's poppin,instead of there real home town..I know a couple of them....

GYANT JUST GIVE IT UP DOGGY YA MANS IS GETTING EXPOSED BIG TIME. LIL FLUP CALLED IT ON BEEF 3 THAT THIS 5"3 105LB FUCKHEAD WASN'T FROM THE HOOD. RICK ROSS EXPOSED HIM FROM WHAT HE REALLY WAS A LYIN ASS RAPPER. I KNOW IT HURTS THAT UR IDOL IS GETTING EXPOSED BY THE REAL HOOD NIGGAZ AROUND HIS OWN DAMN CITY!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW THIS NIGGA WAS PHONY AFTER Z-RO & THE BLACK AL CAPONE BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA HIM. I FOR 1 AM SO DAMN HAPPY THAT THIS NIGGA IS GETTING EXPOSED. TI AIN'T NOTHING BUT A PUSSY ASS NIGGA RUNNIN HIS MOUTH LOL SHAWTY LO GOOD JOB HOMIE. I'M PERSONALLY STARTING THE EXPOSE TI EXPRESS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW

Well, you can't say you're from somewhere just because you've been there. For instance, Tip could've been to Bankhead and may have been accepted there by whomever, and felt he could claim that area as his hood. You could have family, or friends that live there you visit. It could be where he spent most of his time doing God knows what. The friendliest, clean-cut person could be the most cold-blooded individual behind the scenes. At the end of the day, Tip is doing him, taking care of his family, and in a finacially good state.
P.S.
Fuh-Q Gyant!!

HA!...j/k G.

man thats some bull. TI is the undisputed king of the south. It is as he said shawty lo need to pay some dues to get somewhere in this game. He barely has one hit so now he is trying to get some publicity by going at TI. But being the big man that he is TI isnt biting

LMA0 AT N0 0NE C0MMENTING THIS...

Da ni99a didn't make it pass the 10 grade. So even if da is true, dat don't mean he aint from bankhead. Jus like game wasn't a blood all his life, dat still don't take away from da fact dat he still a blood.

t.i.p still the king but LO got a god point hows this dude screaming bankhead but hes from riverside

it should mean somethin all that "im real" ish he was screamin and he juss got his fake card pulled but flip was sayin all dis before shawty lo so why yall now juss payin attention like rich boy said "fake niggaz scream keep it real" stop false claimin hoods

everyone from atlanta already knew this and it don't change shit... ti still the king of the south and lo can rep for bankhead all he wants

These dudes need 2 quit..T.I. make good music point blank..not 2 mention he just got out of some real beef with the goverment...lets start acting like grown black men and get paper!

U cant compare biggies greatness to t.i.Big never came off as fake as ti either

lil flip was right...beef 3....ti aint from bankhead..he 4rm riverdale.

damn.... i was hoping that wouldnt happen... me n my nigga was talkin bout it today.... damn... TIP. WHY!!!!

damn.... i was hoping that wouldnt happen... me n my nigga was talkin bout it today.... damn... TIP. WHY!!!!

My only question is why now? Shawty Lo mentioned before we been letting him get away with it for too long...who is we? You the only dude talkin.. Where was L.O. when I'm Serious dropped? I didn't see him in the rubberband Man video when it was shot in Bankhead Court..is LO really from bankhead? Come on man this is silly...he coming at dude like tip just now claiming bankhead...LO, you have a chill CD you know some nice beats but Be Easy pimp and ask some credible street dudes from bankhead not no kids who may look up to you or some parents ask some goons or something dude real talk....

Damn, TI...i dont give a fuck where you from..but you look fruity 'den a mug in dat flick

Shawty Low sales must not get outside of the perimeter much because Riverdale, Forest Park, Jonesboro or College Park Clayton co. side aren't to be slept on aside from Dekalb which county is on the news more except from that mess with schools. Jeezy from Hickeyville or some mess like that why don't he try to call him out? Hell he'd be outnumbered if he went at errbody that ain't from here.

I don't know how T.I.P gone bounce back from this one.

I don't know how T.I.P gone bounce back from this one.

man shawty lo still ain't nobody i don't think he gets radio play outside of atlanta u can't even call dude a one hit wonder hell he only sold 27,000 units his first week, what units in the city??

IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHERE HE FROM..AS LONG AS THE MAN CAN RAP DATS ALL SHOULD REALLY MATTER

As far as Riverdale is concernced, it's real this way too. Da whole southisde, Riverdale and College Park hold it down. Anyway, as far T.I., he still da King cuz hating niggaz ain't proving otherwise. I like Lo, but he flexing shawty and I heard dat he moved to Bankhead like some of the other rappers moved to where they rep. I knew T.I. went to Riverdale High B4, but dat don't mean that's necessarily where he 4rm. Shit I went to another school a couple years dat ain't where i'm 4rm. Then Lo going around his hood wit niggaz he kno, and askin if they know T.I., come on wat u think they answer gonnna be. T.I. ain't neva claimed to be 4rm Bowen Homes, so go round the rest of Bankhead and ask that. U know how long T.I. been runnin round, if he wasn't doin wat he said then yal ain't real niggaz cuz yal would've been checked it.

FIRST!!! This is like DeHaven sending shots at Hov! Lo needs to fall back before T.I, T.I.P, or Clifford Harris (whoever he wants to be) pulls a Lil' Flip and ends what Lo calls a career!

A gun slinging dope dealing two-times felon that used the justice system to validate his criminality and a CURRENT dope dealer and felon that wants to exploit rap so he can stop dope dealing..

Who loses? The fans of Hip-hop. Period.

No Because I Am From Connecticut so what is that suppose to mean? It doesn't matter where you from it matters where you at. I think this does attack TI's Credibility as an artist because his whole carrer is based on being from Bankhead but he isn't and he flat lined Lil Flip by outting tha fact he wasn't from where he was claiming. When you pride yourself for trapping and being from tha hood and your not it comes back and bites you in da ass. Im from CT i rep my shit and i am offended you picked CT to comment on you just mad you couldn't afford to live here...

shawty lo be having some bangin beats but his rhymes is terrible. Tip look like a rejected member of Kris Kros
http://www.myspace.com/jdubbthayounghectic

so???

First... who cares??????????????

these rappers sound just like bitches these days, you notice TI dead this shit in one interview, i mean 3 yrs ago, this nigga was talkin about doing the Laffy Taffy and all that fruitcake shit, get the fuck outta here

How come this wasn't an issue back in 02 or when T.I. first came out? It's kinda funny, but didn't Killer Mike say both T.I.P. and Lo know him from the street on his song 2 sides? That sounds like he is verify T.I.'s authenticity in Bankhead. That isn't saying he was born there or anything but it sounds like he is known there.

Not sure... However, if you rep something that hard, you probably should actually be from that area, or at least of grew up in the area.

But look @ PAC, he repped California so hard people often forgot (don't know how) that he grew up on the East Coast. I don't think PAC ever tried to hide the fact that he was from the East Coast, so there was nothing wrong with that. He just felt where he was @ (Cali) was where he became a man, so he repped it to the fullest...

All in all, it's a fine line...

riverdale ain't that far from Atl..and Bankhead ain't just smack dab in that mufucka neither...who gives a fuck tho..the nigga uncle owned Crucial and gave it to him..so obviously he had some ties to that mufucka...so what the nigga wasn't born IN Bankhead..this is a wack ass beef really...Lo gon' fuck around and get his self blackballed and have to resort to fuckin' wit Gucci for the rest of his 4.3 minutes....

Time for TIP to pull up Shawty Lo's medical records................................


TO BE CONTINUED.......................

GYANT or whatever the fuck your name is: When Shawty Lo yelled out "Well Goddamn, it must be two sides!" He was talking about fuck niggas like you. First you on TI's dick. But when information starts popping up that maybe TI ain't from the Bank, you start switchin' like a gay ass nigga in pumps. You can't embrace both sides until you know the facts. So sit back, play your part, and let the facts come out. You are losing credibility fast, fuck nigga.

hell yea that starving cambodian lookin ass gayant just mad he cant afford gas over here in ct nigga shut your broke ass up

man this what i know. T.i. said it before he went to school in riverdale but ended up dropping out of school. then did his lil business in bankhand. killer mike co-signed him after he did that track with him. and every body in bankhead was saying that this nigga did business in bankhead when flip called him out but would i rep another city you out ya ma'fuckin mind thomasville, ga 229 biatch where the real live

Wow, would you stop kissing T.I's ass... damn be a man.

Man... its fucked up that Shawty Lo callin out T.I., but the way I look at it, its just karma. If you go around startin beefs for no reason like the one T.I. started with Luda, then you gon get some bad to come back to ya. On top of that, I feel like that nig tryin to prove himself anyway. I like his music, but if you aint from where you say and somebody call you out about it, you gotta respect it for whateva reason. Bankhead probably been felt like that, but aint had nobody to say it... the only defense I can give T.I. is that my homeboy stayed in East Point and his mom made him go to East Cobb. and oh yeah, I heard Hartford is gutta as hell, SOHH what the fuck you talkin bout?!!! lol!!

I think LO is just tryna get some publicity b4 he plays out... he thinks that by TIP not being born in Bankhead is going 2 make people stop buying his albums. I hear more about Clayton County on the news than Bankhead; its not that serious.

ITS DA SAME AS UNCLE MURDER HE'S ALWAYS REPPIN AND YELLIN OUT EAST NEW YORK BUT HE'S FROM CYPRESS HILLS...BUT U CAN'T HATE DEM CUZ DEY SHOUTIN OUT UR HOOD IF ANYTHING LO SHOULD BE PROUD T.I PUTTIN SHINE 2 HIS HOOD

That doesnt mean anything. I lived in what was considered the hood back home, but i sure as hell was going to a school in another area just because. And a lot of dudes lived in one area, but would be in the hood all day long, but by choice so basically imma need TIP to come back strong because if not Lo might have a one up on him. First of all why has it taken so long for anyone to release information?? .......Shawty Lo still a hater, you that made cause TIP wouldn't get on a song with you?? And if that was TIP and you in that picture and we all know TIP aint the tallest, then you one short ass nigga Lo. lmao

All my fans that ride with me, keep rollin'. All the haters, i love ya'll too, but dont jump on the bandwagon once the wheels get to rollin, cuz it wont stop. Keep it 100, and keep it pimpin'...
THE KING

shawty lo is hottest new nigga that is from the streets but his rapping is medicore at best

T.I. is now official superstar but i guess he lied about being from streets of bankhead BUT he gets pass for going to jail multiple times.


DONE DEAL

gyants next post will be about floyd mayweather making it rain with fake $100 bills...LATE MUTHAFUCKA...read it already on sandrarose.com

FACT: TIP went to Douglas High School in Atlanta. smh niggas levitate to anything that is hateful and make it "truth".

Why can no one see that this is just a regular hood nigga talking hella BS? Got a lil fame now he hating some one bigger.

Since day one (I'm Serious) people on the westside would see TI at Greenbriar Mall, performing at the Bounce, etc like it wasn't nothing. I seen 'em personally on some everyday ish.

People hear a rumor and the hate inside em makes them believe that and spread it further.

Go back to a TIP song where he mentioned Kris Kross. They from the westside. Now if he went to school with them round '90-'91 what can u say?

Exactly why lame niggas feed pigeons and shoot at eagles

...do your homework

a song called "remember how we did them hoes" talked about places on the westside.

Lames don't catch on to the neighborhood places he talks about.

Why entertain hate any way? Why respond to a silly mofo like LO who trying to extend his wack career? He spoke on it once now let the dawg howl at the moon

TI look like a member of that kids group Kriss Kross in that picture. i know he is friends with one of them so i guess they all dressed alike.

To loosely quote 50 cent...Niggas is like a couple billion dollars too late....fuck that sit, what they do dont make me shit....holla at ya dog. THE REAL FEWTURE

i see yall sayin it dont matter where u come from as long as yo lyrics hot. n that is true...BUT..if he hada came out n said he was from riverdale it woulda been straight..he came out n lied..n u guys say y aint shawty lo say nothin till now..shawty lo just had his debut album this year..he wasnt even hot n 02..he wasnt even rappin then...i aint from atlanta n never been..so i dont know how "hood" riverdale is..it could be like compton over there but that still makes ti lose all credibility cus he claimed 2 be from another place that hes not from

So what at the end of the day its about making good music and and T.I. Does just that bankhead or riverdale he still one of my favorites even though I don't believe the story cause on the other hand I know people who went to elementary and highschool with TI but it is what it is

WeedSpace.blogspot.com

thug says...
It don't really mean shit cuz niggas fail to realize that out here on the westside we had to grow up way before our time so me and my niggas was trappin as early as the 5th and 6th grade. so even if this man went to high school in riverdale that still don't account for the years before that.

Fucking E-Thugs lol, all ya'll trip me out lol. What a thug!

Da Fuck U Mean If Big Was From Connecticut?...Dont Sleep..yea CT Got Them Rich White Heads Wit The Sweaters N Shyt...But Thats Upstate Kid...Come To Bridgeport, CT Talkin That Bullshyt If U want

so know 1 will het mad if i scream bankhead and im not even from the south......... thats wassup yaw dumbasses will buy anything huh? wonder why they call u nigger.... i bet ya

don't try to play Connecticut. Come to Bridgeport, New Haven or Hartford. It's real spots everywhere. Do the research.

To everybody from CT. that posted here, y'all some lame azz beef seeking faqqots. He didn't dis CT., he merely pointing out another place, instead of Brooklyn. Be happy someone thought enough of your lame azz state to mention it. Get over it, you low self esteem azz biitches.

yo i like T.I. and everything,but u gotta give it 2 Shawty Lo.he's exposing dis nigga.now i think that Shawty Lo is the wackest nigga out but he's exposing T.I. and ya'll gotta hand it 2 him.Bankhead is the hardest part of ATL and Riverdale is the suburbs and a rich town.And I do remember Lil Flip use 2 say that T.I. was from Riverdale.now we found out the truth...lol

Shawty lo should watch whut he say, especially with his health not been so good...

I dont think Gyant was dissin CT ...the same way Lo wasnt dissin Riverdale. Its just saying if a Bridgeport nigga was sayin he from Brooklyn then got exposed>>>Anybody from Brooklyn to Bangkok who been to Bridgeport can tell you ...WE DONT PLAY!!! We got more killers there than most places..and that aint really shit to brag about...BLACK People unite and lets all get down!!

How about you dumb-fucks start being proud that your neighborhood lacks crackheads, drugdealers and a lot of negative shit from the hood. Why are you damn NIGGERS always trying to prove to everybody else how "hood" your neighborhood is? Damn ya'll are some brainwashed "Rileys" (boondocks look up the character). I live in Lawrenceville, Ga and I'm happy as fuck that I don't have to worry about crackheads stealing my shit, drive-by shootings, stray bullets, people breaking in my house and car and ghetto/thug shit. Damn Black people we need to start fucking loving ourselves and having higher standards. There are good people in the hood, project or whatever you want to call it, but the hood fucking sucks, it's dirty, drug and crime infested...that's not cool. Want more in lfe, that ain't nothing to be proud about. Corporate America has commercialized thuggery and ghettoness just to make money off of you dumbfucks. Why are we sitting here entertaining another dumb ass beef. Who da fuck is shawty lo? Him and Rocko both sound like Jeezy. Gyant I guess this is what you are suppose to do. Feed the bullshit corporate america wants you to feed to these brainwashed fools. Good job boy! Who needs good hip-hop that reflects the community and serves as a voice. Naw we rather listen to a bunch of fake as thugs glorify spending money on strippers and gold diggers, drug dealing, black on black violence and money. I love it how we spend money on rappers who brag in their songs about wasting money they get from da support we give them. Wake da fuck up!!!!! Gyant, you know my rants are never personal. I never call you gay, diss your clothes, or disrespect you. My only concern has been your hateful, irrelevant, and bullshit content. Gyant I hope you are at least getting paid well to feed bullshit into our youth.

Look folks. I'm from NW Atlanta, Adamsville to be exact. About 2 miles from B'head, Simpson Rd, Bowen Homes, an exit from Bankhead Courts. T.I. might have been at Riverdale High at some point. I don't know, but I can vouch that he went to Douglass High on Hightower/Hamilton Rd. at least a year. I'm two years older than him and remember him there. Douglass is the school for the rough side of Bankhead - Shawty Lo is the real liar. My sister was in his 9th grade homeroom at Douglass. Don't get me wrong, she said he was hard as hell and kind of ran the class. But my sister is 32. So that means that Shawty Lo is lying about his age to yall. He probably got kept back too.

I say fuck Shawty Lo. He is a no rapping mother fucker trying to get fame off of someone else. T.I. is the KING. No one will ever replace him. "Even in solitude there's still no hotter dude"-T.I. (No Matter What). All this video shit T.I. has dunn dunn it already will lil' flip. Shawty needs to do something that the KING hasn't already dunn. "Whatever you can do in the hood, I dunn did it" -T.I. (No Matter What)

Why do you all think T.I. tried to lie, he is not. These were his interview comments in early 07. BTW - Douglass High is westside ATL, the school for Bankhead, Bowen Homes, Bankhead Courts, etc.

"Where did you go to high school and what were you like in those days?
I went to high school in Douglass High, on the west side of Atlanta. I also went to Riverdale. My mom tried to move me out in the suburbs to let me go to school, but they kicked me out. I had to go back to Doug. And what was I like? Hmmm, I was .... eager. Very eager. I wanted to do more. I was trying to get money. I wanted my own crib, I was trying to live."

Google some of the words in this interview, if you believe it is fake.

Tip was raised with his Grand mother that he calls "mother" and she still lives off Bankhead u know its her house cuz its souped up with Granite and stones amongst all the hood houses right across from Club Crucial...but if we arguing Bankhead ask Shawty Lo bout how much property he owns on BANKHEAD..except for the TRAILER park he lived in NOT TOO LONG AGO..and he thought that was living it up BIG...Gyant ask Lo about the trailer park right by Bankhead Court he lived in! LOL

it doesnt matter... if he is from bankhead or not..damn near know artist is from where they say they are from....why does it matter....

At the end of the day - who cares? T.I. being from Riverdale isn't new information, but he is still T.I. Eminem's not really from Detroit - but again - at the end of the day, who really cares. Shawty Lo is wasting way to much energy on this foolishness.

its funny how all these cats from Conn are insulted if someone insinuates that Conn isn't gangsta. That's a pretty fucked up mentality. You should be happy if Conn wasn't some ghetto slum. As far TI is concerned I don't give a shit if he is from Maybery, Maine. He is an entertainer and they all lie to create a certain image. As long as he keeps coming with the hot shit who cares. The vast majority of people who listen to hip hop are from the suburban areas and don't adhere to or care about these stupid ghetto rules.

it has nothing to do with who raps the best but as far as character if he reps bankhead i would expect that nigga to be from bankhead. it dont make no sense to bullshit about that when the southside was more popular when he came out anyway. he coulda repped riverdale/clayco its gangstas over there too.

As far as acknowledging shawty Lo. Im from the northside OSDL but ive had to make my runs to the west side before and erbody overthere knows on a street level Shawty LO run that side of town. its been that way for years so erbody owe him that respect. he a true. OG.

check out my nigga reppin that Northside OSDL myspace.com/pfloatafanclub

First off no matter what Lo does he will not affect T.I's shine. So what if he went to riverdale. maybe his grandmother or mother sent him there to keep him out of trouble which he obviously never stayed out of. T.I is from bankhead. where he went to school dont mean jack and remember on big shit poppin he said , whether in miami,cincinnati or in Riverdale, arizona ,california make it rain anywhere. T.I has said he is from the westside more than he's said he's from bankhead. Lo is from Bowen homes or some shit. T.I aint fom the jects but that dont mean he aint from bank head.

ALL U PPL R ~DUMB~ JUST BKUZ U GO 2 SCHOOL SUMWHERE AWAY FROM WHERE U WERE BORN DONT MEAN YOU'RE NOT FROM THERE~!~ I WENT 2 SCHOOL AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES AWAY FROM MA HOUSE THAT DONT MEAN IM NOT FROM WHERE I STAY ~!~ U RETARDZ~!~

yeah yeah yeah....Asher Roth is from the suburbs and he can out rap all these guys....rap has changed....no one gives a fuck about how hard you are....its the talent level....Asher Roth is changing the game.

Why would T.I. make up being from a hood that no one knew at the time

I'm from CT(New Haven to be exact) and the reasn I made my comment is that people have a tendency to make slick remarks regarding CT. The point is...there are spots everywhere. And all ya'll country cats...please be easy. We got aright to defedn where we come from just like if someone were to get up and disrespect ATL(the new black gay capital,still wearing FUBU jerseys,niggas still hype off of gold grills,etc....) See how someone can make a remark and have a subtle insult engrained in that statement.

Just because he went to school in Riverdale dont mean that he aint run the streets in Bankhead. Did anyone see MTV My hood-ATL? Wasnt that Bankhead? Shawty Lo needs to take his questionable status ass and shake his laffy taffy. Jealousy is a mufuckah!

If yall think riverdale aint shit just put on a white tee and walk down 85 I DARE U! I don't see what the big deal is anyway bankhead is not that rough it just looks bad. The only niggas I ever seen go to war was them swats niggas. as far as the dope game go everybody know decatur run that shit. Get u a bankhead plug that nigga gonna have a decatur plug LOL!

The nigga might've went to high school out there. That dont mean he didnt hustle in Bankhead. The nigga got priors so Shawty Lo non rappin ass is wastin his damn time. What he wanna be the next Flip?

ALL YALL MUFFUCCAS BE ON HERE TALKIN ABOUT STREET CREDIT.AND HOW T.I. WOULD LOSE HIS..WELL HOW THE FUCK WE KNOW U GOT STREET CREDIT.. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU??. HOW MANY TIMES YOU LIED ABOUT SOME SHIT??..AND LAST TIME I CHECKED..NONE OF MY "STREET NIGGAZ" HAVE INTERNET.WANNA KNOW Y??..THEY IN THE FUCKIN STREETS.
SOUTHSIDE.CHI-TOWN.

U know what. Someone should call Shawty Lo out for lying about his age. That cat at least 33. Man, he was in my class at Douglass High back in 1991. Don't get my wrong, he ran the whole bankhead bowen homes crew and was hard as hell. Folks feared and respected him. Then he dropped out. But I'm just saying the cat is old as hell.

I can put this whole situation to rest TI is from bankhead he went to douglass highschool if you ever heard him mention dr. samuel hill who was the principal when he was there and also jamal lewis running back for the cleveland browns attended the same school when ti was there and if you went to an atlanta public school then you know you can't be from riverdale and go to school on the westside.

I'm from Detroit I never been to GA in my life but dog what the fuck if im a rapper and a nigga come out and say a that nigga aint from the D how can any body no just by asking a nigga on the streets u know how big the city is bankhead must b small internet niggas b killing me with that street nigga shit

Jacob Connell says...
...Don't get me wrong, she said he was hard as hell and kind of ran the class...

LOL@dopeboyz in class!!!

Yall are so stupid. T.I. is from Riverdale and T.I.P. is from Bankhead. God didn't yall listen to his last album he's 2 people. lol

As far as I'm concerned Shawty Lo is still wacked out. If he can make it in the industry my daughter can make it at 2 years old and she's just learning her alphabets. On the real tho, the only way a dude like Shawty can make it, is if he get shot up more times than 50.

first 32 aint old as heel keep livin...

on the raw report he says he is 32...

shit he look 32... al he sayin is if you from bamk head acknowleged the king of bowen homes..,.

Ti didnt feel that... didnt give him his props and shawty exposed him...

shawty lo just moved 100,000 units on some asylum independent shit...

just Cop that new Raw report.. shit look at it on You Tube...

only soft nuccas gone respect niggas clamin shit they aint from...

Ti is a milenium trappin ass nucca just like the game who strated bangin after he droped out of college is a milieum trapper...

man i bet 99% of people making these bogus ass comments aint even from the a, t.i is not from bankhead, he is from clayton county, and yes clayco is fucked up right now, back then it was a nice safe place to run to, shawty lo is from bankhead/bowen homes and everybody on the west and east know that and he was really doin what he talks about, nobody knows t.i, to keep it real t.i is a lot more lyrical than shawty lo on any day but t.i fake as hell, shawty lo been doin his thing on the west, and gucci mane been doin his thing on the east side, im from east atl, and a lot of my niggas live on the westside so i know for a fact

Look at all these lames from CT getting their pussy hurt. Nobody tried to disrespect CT, but just make an example of Biggie not being from Brooklyn. You illiterate ass niggas up north need to go back to school.

GYANT GET AT MEON MYSPACE FORREAL, I'M FROM CALI BUT I LIVE IN GA...BUT MY STEPMOTHER AND STEPFATHER LIVE IN CLAYTON COUNTY,JONESBORO RD 2 BE EXACT...RIVERDALE IS 2 EXITS AWAY, AND NOTHING ABOUT CLAYTON COUNTY SAYS SUBURBS MAN, ITS NOT UNTIL YOU HIT MONROE THAT'S SUBURBAN...MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE PLACES LIKE CLEVELAND AVE(YOUNG RALPH) IS IN CLAY CO. TAKE A TRIP THERE AND NUTHIN SAYS SUBURBS....NOT SAYING T.I. IS REALLI FROM BANKHEAD CUZ I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE DID PUT BANKHEAD ON THE MAP....RAPPERS LIKE SHAWTY LO SHOULD GIVE HIM PROPS INSTEAD OF DISSIN HIM OUT THE BLUE, BECAUSE I REMEMBER VISITING ATLANTA ONE SUMMER BACK IN '94 AND THE CRAZE ABOUT BANKHEAD WAS THIS DANCE CALLED THE "BANKHEAD BOUNCE" YA'LL REMEMBER THAT DANCE...LOL.... BANKHEAD WASN'T A DRUG SANCTUARY UNTIL T.I. POINTED IT OUT....

Fuck is y'all delusional muthafuckas on here sayin TI is the REAL King of the South, that nigga may be the King of Faglanta bka GayTL but that nigga is NOT, I repeat NOT the King of the South...not but a fucking LONG SHOT so please...STOP IT

T.I.P. WENT 2 DOUG HIGH DAT NICCA AINT FROM RIVERDALE. LO GOIN AT TI CUZ HOMES KILLIN DA RAP GAME. LO TRYIN DO WAT 50 DID WIN HE CAME OUT. COME AT DA HOTTEST OUT POINT BLANK. IF U REALLY LOOK AT IT LO LOOKS LIKE AN ASS CUZ HE MAD CUZ ANOTHER GROWN ASS MAN WONT MENTION HIS NAME. NOW U TELL ME? RUMOR(LO BABY MA) IS IT TIP MAD AT LO CUZ HE WONT LET HIM GET ON DEY NO REMIX. WHICH NO1 BELIEVES FLIP TRIED DA SAME MOVE AN LOOK WAT HAPPEN. LO JUS GONNA ONLY MAKE NOISE IN ATL AN OTHER SOUTHERN REGIONS. HIS TOPIC RANGE IS NONE. SO AT DA END OF DA DAY TIP AINT FROM RIVERDALE ANOTHER TANG PPLE USE 2 SAY HE FROM COBB COUNTY. TIP IS ATL

It still dosn't ruin shit for T.I. ... first, if you don't live in the A or no shit about the A you CAN'T SLEEP on RIVERDALE! Niggas talkin like Riverdale is where white people live or somethin... Riverdale is on the Southside of Atlanta and it's still just as Hood... Mad gangs and all that, so know your shit before you speak on Riverdale like it's lame.

shawty lo stop hatin tryin to get recognition and do and let ti do what he doing you in the man club every weekend nigga get a life do some movies get your own style before you end up on that milk carton in the xxl

Ok I feel like Shawty Lo lame for trying to expose T.I. maybe he is from Riverdale but he could have just spent most of his time in Bankhead I hate when lame people try to come out and try to put themselves on top by hating on others I feel like its just stupid and pointless and thats what Shawty Lo is trying to do just like 50 they see somebody at the top of the throne and they try to bring them down by hating on them but aint nobody entertaining 50 nomore forreal.Isnt there a better way to get where the other person is instead of hating to rise to their level?

So Im from the westside zone 4...

The house were they found all of those guns (which is down the street from camp creek marketplace) is actually less than 20 minutes from where I grew up...

What grade that high school picture is from is an important question to ask. Because my understanding of his story is that he dropped out of high school and then started to acting a fool on the streets of the westside... and also most of his arrests were in cobb county which is on the Northwest side of town and futon which is the westside of the city and just south of it. Now of course we all know that riverdale is south of town but odds are you wouldn't stay around there if you were wanting to get into any serious street action (drug dealing, etc.) because there isn't a whole lot going on in that area. Since I live on the southern most part of the westside I've spent alot of time on the south side and while riverdale is a ways away from in town you know (being that you are from/live here) nobody works where they live. average commute is 30 to 45 mintues and riverdale is no farther than that. on top of that you should also know that most places you want to go here you can expect to drive at 30 or 45 minutes unless you live in the city limits...

Now its obvious that Shawty is way more bankhead than T.I. is because that is were he was born raised and did his dirt... all im saying is that being from riverdale wouldn't really take away from his westside credit if he moved to the westside and thats were his shit happend... I know several people who go to other parts of town to be stupid in the streets... I don't condone I think its straight ridiculous ,especially since some of those kids are wealthier than I am, but I digress...

so with that said I say I give T.I. westside credit.... I can't give bankhead credit because I don't know that... but I do know that across the street from club crucial there is a couple of houses that look like the house that was in the video for "round here" T.I did with mephis bleek and trick daddy from way back... I believe that is the house that he claims to have come up in at some point in his life which is in the heart of bankhead... he just wasn't as big in that neighborhood as Shawty Lo was/is....

and if you'll notice all the videos Shawty shot with all those people saying they ain't never seen Tip anywhere were in Bowen Homes... thats Shawty's own born and raised section of bankhead (for perspective its about 10 minutes from the area where crucial is and its an entire housing project as opposed to just a street of low income homes) of course everybody around there has seen him ... I bet there aren't any of those videos that weren't shot in Bowen Homes... Im not saying Shawty couldn't do one else where I'm just saying since T.I isn't from Bowen Homes and anywhere in Bankhead you don't go places where people don't know you like that so he wouldn't have been in there like that...

last point is Tip is waaaay more hot headed than Shawty is... I'm sure Tip made way more enemies way faster than Shawty did... thats not to say Shawty wouldn't be about handling his business if a situation arose, its just to say that Shawty would have created a lot less situations where he would have needed to handle it...

And anybody who knows anything about the Westside knows its alot of short - tempered hot headed people over here... so being that T.I. got to a certain level of stardom before he really dealt with his temper all that well, he probably made it so he couldn't be around there as much for fear of jeopardizing his success by getting into too many bad violent situations... [even though we all know how that went God help him]

On the other hand to credit Shawty's point I've seen alot of Shawty at places like figure 8 , mariachi (even though thats on the Northwest side of town) even in random places... shit I've seen Slick pulla on the westside more than I have Tip...

But I think that speaks more to how much money I [don't] have than anything else...

yo check this out even though I don't like lil flip that nigga was speaking the truth from the get go..what's goes around comes around..also ask this nigga t.i about what happened in dc with pimp juju at the club...no lie..pimp juju is locked up now in beaumont texas...a lot of these niggas be claiming hood but they some shit..also this nigga said that he never wrote untill he started paper trail..that's some bullshit..listen to number 19 on ti vs tip...now im no hater but just statung the facts...shawty lo is only saying that this nigga aint from a certain place he claim..while tip is tryna curb the shit on some rap shit..shawty lo know he aint the best rapper..but that nigga real as shit..

im out
dc jay

Listen to the last verse of the song where you from by young dro T.i. Mention Riverdale and Bankhead

Man im kinda upset bout this beff cuz i F#@# wit T.I. hard no homo and I just started to like L-O but L-O is right that flip beff is like Karma for T.I. and its funny cuz im bout to start looking into all them rappers background. LOL we got to do backgroung checks on rappers LOL its 2008 time to move from the south and bring that rap TO THE D.M.V aint nothing but real niggas here anyway even in the burbs P.G County stand up GOGO for LIFE BYB 4 every ...

Why the fuck are you GHETTO, CHILDISH ASS MOFOS stepping out of line because he made a reference to CT? GET THE FUCK OVER IT BITCHES. You're acting like a bitch if you got mad at his comment. We ALL know NY gets more street cred in hip hop vs. CT so GET THE FUCK OVER IT. Yea there's hoods everywhere but the author wasn't trying to be disrespectful so why all the bitchassness???? Grow a dick and act like a man instead of crying like a BITCH!

yeah t.i. is from the southside (clay co) but if yall niggas think clayton county is some ol country club ass spot you must not be from the A. they have the highest crime rate in metro atl and last time i checked, bankhead aint what it used to be in the 90's when kilo ali was the only rapper repping that shit (besides the tight 4 life camp). so yeah he aint from the west but he still from the A and he still the king, but clay co wasnt shit when he was growing up in it, but now its where u can get your shit bussed asap!

haha yall talkin like yall kno facts....T.I. is
