Shawty Lo Answers T.I. On The “Foolish” Remix

shawtylo_haha.jpg
This week will be remembered as the moment when the T.I./Shawty Lo beef finally came out of the closet. After throwing subliminals at each other for the last year, they both publicly acknowledged the tension for the first time in separate radio interviews—Tip on ATL’s 107.9, and Lo on Kay Slay’s show.

Now, on the brand new “Foolish” remix, which features DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, Jim Jones and Birdman (on the vocoder!), Lo contunues his quest to bring Tip’s Bankhead origins into question: “Cross your T’s and dot your I’s / I’m the real Bankhead, that’s no lie!” It ain’t exactly an ether, but its the closest either of them have come to saying the other man’s name on record. Listen after the jump.

  2. Shawty Lo is a REAL TRAPPER… HE has 24 seperate charges 4 convictions on his record…

    T.I. is a retired trapper since getting famous from rapping… Has not put in nearly as much work into the streets as he did rapping… which is why he is MILES ahead of the competition coming out of ATL…

    Shawty Lo is NOT A RAPPER (as you can see from his lyrics… straight garbage outside a club setting) He is a REAL HOOD NIGGA… The closest most of yall niggas is gonna get to a REAL NIGGA on TV… Get the Raw Report Real Bankhead Story…

    When you can walk down the streets of your own city/area/county/backroads WITHOUT SECURITY… You are a man of the streets… I can walk from my house to anywhere in my area without niggas tryin me up on some dumb shit… I can represent the Southside of Atlanta Clay Co (Clayton County) as long as you don’t claim to be somethin you aint…

    As Andre said (3000 keeps it 100%) Ain’t no hood nigga… but a nigga from the hood…

    I can say I’m from my hood… as long as I don’t claim to be a hood nigga… I’m not posted on the block puttin in work… but I can walk around my block… It’s where I’m from and I will never be scared to come back…

    If T.I. is from Bankhead… He obviously ain’t put in no work… cause none of the real niggas from Bankhead don’t like him no more… Maybe some Hoes do… but he get’s no respect from the Street Niggas…

    Jeezy Has street respect… Jeezy makes shit happen… Gucci Makes shit happen… Shawty Lo Makes shit happen… Who don’t??? Lil Scrappy… No… Crime Mob??? HELL NO… I’m from Clay Co… I worked in Ellenwood… Them niggas never committed a crime and always got their asses whooped in their High School…

    Real recognize real… Carlos Walker is THAT NIGGA in ATLANTA… certified… Ask any street nigga in Atlanta… Shawty Lo can be found in Bankhead… D4L Records Studio is in BANKHEAD… Them niggas are there… They got paper and paid… they embrace the hood… and the hood holds them down… Never forget where you came from and where you come from won’t forget you… and no matter how much T.I. be on T.V. BANKHEAD has forgotten T.I.

    He may be big everywhere else and that’s all that matters really in rap… but he gets no love from Bankhead… and if you can’t call home->home… then my friend you FAKE!…

    T.I. better rapper than L-O
    L-O WAAAAAYYYY MORE STREET CRED than T.I.

    T.I. raps about the streets… but no longer lives that life… straight lying on records to yall…

  4. Why are people talking about these dudes like they know them. I’ll say this, if you in the street and get arrested 28 times and convicted 4 of the 28 and are not in jail. You are a snitch. Come on man seriously 28 arrest and you do 1 year in jail. Who’s the real snitch. Then you come out the gate starting nonsense with someone that has not said a word to you and think you dope because you can get a bunch of idiots to get on camera bustin guns. Then what happens you can’t go home now because you done fell out with the same dudes that was all on your raw report bustin guns and what not. Now you can’t make music with an artist that is ten times your size and you can’t go home so if you don’t sell on your next album you can’t go back to trapping. That’s some dumb shit. That ain’t gangsta at all, you fools in the street need to watch who you looking up to, you want to back up someone who has been locked up 28 times and hasn’t done more than a year total behind bares are you serious. It’s stupid enough that you look up to someone dumb enough to get locked up 28 times and even dumber for thinking that they are not cooperating with them people when everyone but them is locked up. This street shit is dumb because at teh end of the day everyone has a story and everyone has someone that will hate on that story or back it up. This is the music industry not the street industry. Just make good music who cares who you don’t like, or who you think you were to the hood because the people who run BANKHEAD are the people that own everything on BANKHEAD and brotha that is not you.
