Act I: T.I.P.

Act I: T.I.P.

T.I.

This is a track from T.I.’s 2006 album “T.I. vs. Tip”. It represents how the frustration and pain caused by the death of his friend and the pressures of fame are turning him into more of a gangster. This is shown by the use of an alter ego, Tip. Tip is angrier, and considers T.I. weak. When rapping as Tip, his ATL accent gets stronger and his rhymes get simpler: He is harking back to his days slangin' dope out of Bankhead, when he was usually called Tip.
