Fuck T.I.
I've heard talk for a while that T.I. had said some shit about Latinos, Specifically - immigrant - and that they should go back to where they came from. I decided to do some research of my own before putting the guy on blast.
Well, what I found is pretty much deserving of the hate he's been getting. It started from an arrogant-ass interview with the associated press after one of his shows. He was asked a bunch of questions of what he would do if he were literally the "King of the South". He went on some bullshit about raising taxes 3% to rebuild New Orleans, and legalizing marijuana. You can tell just by looking at him that he was high off his ass . Here's the link to the story and video:

What's worth noting is that when they asked him what he thought of illegal immigration, he said he hadn't thought much about it. "What is the problem with illegal immigration anyway?" he asks, showing that he has no clue about what's going on and the issues at hand. Ignorant on the subject but feeling like he had to provide an answer anyway, he starts going off on some bullshit about immigrants needing to know a trade to provide for this country, and not just take from it:
"They should learn a trade before coming to this country, make themselves useful."
What the fuck? Learn a trade? This is coming from a loser high school drop out drug dealer that luckily is making a living off of rap? Ridiculous. Motherfucker, I can bet that 9 out of 10 people crossing that border have way more skills than your sorry ass. The fact is these people come to this country ready to work and make a decent living. It's stupid to believe someone is over in Mexico thinking "I want to go to the US to leech off of their benefits." I've seen plenty raza working the fields, washing dishes, cooking, working on cars, construction, and fucking laying tile and drywall, as well as working the fields and factories. Seriously, who the fuck wants to work in the fields? Not American citizens. Most people would rather stand on a corner with abled bodies, holding a sign to ask for money. Every time you see a "bum" or someone with a sign asking for shit, just think that these assholes can be working in the fields, no questions asked. But no, that's a back breaking job and it's for wetbacks right? Go to hell.
I don't care for T.I.'s music, so putting him on my bitch list now isn't much of a problem. I can only imagine what real Chicanos (not the sell outs) might feel when they hear something like this from an artist they like. Making comments like those, you can expect repercussions. Guess what? A lot of Chicanos do listen to this fool's music, and most that have found out about this don't appreciate him degrading our people. It's fine if he thinks immigrants should go back to their country, it's an opinion on a political subject he's entitled to. It's his reasoning and stupid generalization that rubs people the wrong way. Actually, there's already some responses. Aside from many Chicanos speaking their mind on the subject online, there's already diss songs aimed at TI from Chicano rappers. One's from Lil Sic, and another from Capone-e.
Here's the Capone-e song featuring Lil FLip (who is already TI's rival). Looks like T.I. needs to watch his back when he comes to Cali:
note: T.I. has since apologized for making statements that the "undocumented" will be offended by. A little late for that, and with an apology like that he needs to just keep his mouth shut. | Post a Comment
