This little situation has been going on for a couple months now. But it seems without a doubt that Shawty Lo proved his point. T.I was always screaming bankhead on his mixtapes,tracks, and in concert. But it seems Mr. T.I isnt even from bankhead he is from the suburbs on the southside of Atlanta. A high school yearbook picture was sent in to Shawty Lo proving where he was from, in the picture it looks like he has some sort of fucked up jerri curl twist type of braid thing going on. Now you say does it matter? What does it mean? Well being from the hood myself I will tell you what it means. T.I was not proud of where he was from and he tried to make himself look hard, we all know being hard and scratching your way out of the projects is every artists dream. Well Mr. T.I grew up in the cosby show type of atmosphere and wanted to be from the hood for the sake of his rap career. He has been a very successful artist, but for the record claim your own hood, dont scream bankhead if you scared to even come to the hood. Maybe thats why he bought all those weapons? Maybe Mr. Suburbs is a little scared when he leaves his gated community? Maybe it would be wise for T.I to stay quiet on this one. Remember way back when Vanilla Ice said he was from the hood and got exposed? His career was over. Your move T.I.

Footage from the interview
 

In a recent interview with MTV, Nas told the network he thinks up and coming MC Jay Electronica is the future.”When I met Jay Electronica, he handed me a CD and said, ‘You gotta hear this one song,’” Nas said. “I put it in the car, and he did ‘The World Is Yours’ over. The way he flipped it was crazy. I called him immediately and was like, ‘Where you at?’”

“Jay Electronica is the future,” Nas added. “He’s what rappers are trying to be or what they are aspiring to be. He’s the whole package. He has visual ideas for videos, and he could show you what he’s been working on. He has a whole different take on his production. The guy’s an incredible writer. I like his music. He was like, ‘Let’s go. Let’s get in the studio.’ He gave me a lot of his time.” Hiphopspy follows hip hop and rap nonstop and Jay Electronica is a indie artist who has been on a few mixtapes, but for Nas to acknowledge him, It sounds like Nas is getting ready to put him on as his artist, and that is strange because I cannot remember Nas ever helping any Indie artists. As far as Jay being the future or the present we will see and listen.
