Shawty Lo & T.I. Spar At Birthday Bash

This past weekend at Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash, the biggest night in Atlanta hip-hop, the city’s superstars all came out to perform at the Phillips Arena. Predictably, the show’s most talked about moments were the subliminal messages sent back and forth by Shawty Lo and T.I., who have been quietly feuding over Tip’s allegiance to Bankhead.
Lo started his set off by showing a video which depicted him running from a federal agent, who was played by an actor that reportedly resembles T.I. After performing the “Dey Know” remix with Ludacris, he ended his set with a screen that said “A New King Has Been Born,” an obvious jab at T.I.’s “King of The South” title. Tip’s headlining set included a vague response to his critics and a performance of “No Matter What” where he immitated Shawty Lo’s running man dance. See videos of both below.

Hahahahaha - agreed. His beats go HARD in the club, but his raps are worse than a retarded child’s. Clipse’s remix on their tape was the proper way to do it - hopefully other artists rip up his beats on their own free time too. Tip all the way.
