Rap tycoon T.I. just dropped his new single “Dope” featuring singer Marsha Ambrosius riding a sample of Aaliyah‘s “Rock the Boat”. The single was produced by Dr. Dre.
“Dope” is off T.I.’s much-anticipated 10th studio album, The Dime Trap.
The music video also drops today (May 16), and features appearances by Andre 3000, Travis Scott, Big Sean, Killer Mike, and Nelly.
The artwork behind T.I., titled DOPE, was presented to T.I. by artist (and former LaFace art director) DL Warfield at DL’s successful MYBFisBLK art exhibit at Westside Cultural Arts Center in Atlanta on April 29.
If you missed the art exhibit, you can order prints at Goldfinger.Storenvy.com.

Ehhhhh, it was alright. I am a DIE HARD Aliyah fan and “Rock the Boat” was one of my favs…I liked that he sampled her.
Happy Mundane Monday, Roses!
Hola
Since we have a Tip post anyone plan on watching Roots with him in it?
I love TI…his music is awesome. .heck I even went to scales a few times to eat. .so I fvcks wit him. ..but bruh….gonna need for you to grow up just alittle bit with all the hand guns. … let that shid go..and…pull ya pants up..ok..love ya
…
I challenge these so called lyricists to make a rap without a curse word every other bar. #rakim
I challenge these millionaire rappers who have made it out the hood to stop glorifying drugs and guns in the music targeted to youth. #jcole
I challenge…never mind, this the guy that said he didn’t think females could rap till iggy.
The intro reminded me of old school music that took 4 minutes to start.
I be in my feelings and never watched the original ROOTS all the way through. He said it’ll be different. I’ll give it a go.
Yeah.
I appreciate you on here.
Only known words can be used.
The hook is nice.
On Friday, my coworkers and I were laughing about Mike Epp’s skit on T.I.’s King album. I was rolling.
I wasn’t interested until I saw the previews. I plan to check it out also.
Ot: I hate when ppl use the Lord to justify their foolishness..so am calling folks who applied for financing a lady tells me that has a Lil bad credit ( how that fuk you have a Lil bad credit ..u either have bad credit , fair or foot credit) she says she wants a newer car but has NO MONEY TO put down ..I said “well ms you have a problem, only ppl that dont need dwn payments are ppl with got credit not ppl with a Lil bad credit .” She replys ,”Oh, no BC the God I serve will make it happen .. I told that ho have a good day & good luck ..but I wanted to ask that ho why God ain’t give her good credit ..I hate how ppl spmetimes confuse blessing with solely being material possessions.. It really confuses me grown ass p have no concept of money , don’t know the difference between an asset or liability ..they should teach financial literacy in schools.. Sorry for the rant ..GM
This is cool and imma ride to it..but its like 6-7 years too late for this kinda rap/r&b combo/beat
When I was growing up Roots used to come on every year during Black History Month.
This song had no relevance to not nothing. Why was Marsha on it?

Yes, but slave and shows and movies about the Bible make me feel a certain way. I can piece it together and can quote parts but nah, not my thing. I have Underground DVR’d.

*******
PREACH!!
Say this! Young folks especially. I know a chick RIGHT NOW living WITH somebody. No (real) bills (i.e. house, food, lights, gas…) but can’t/won’t make a car payment this month because……………….she wants to keep her AND her baby (15 months) in some True’s and Robin’s and Rock’s.
???
Girl YES. And then bff brother tambout he aint never seen it come on TV. She went OFF. She was like DUDE. That shit was on every Feb from 1983ish (when she first could recall) til WELL into the damn 90s.
No.
,”Oh, no BC the God I serve will make it happen”
=======================================
Nope lady…if it hasn’t happened already, you know, because of your “lil bad credit” then it’s not going to happen until you fix your credit so you can have a “lil good credit.”
When will people understand that God helps those that help themselves? Fix your damn credit and THEN the God you serve will make it happen…help Him make it happen.
If you dont PREACH.
Where Truth Hurts at? I’ll let the song play unless an older TI, Nas, JayZ, Ye,Jadakis, Ludacris, DMX song comes on
Gots ta be! He definitely won’t be a robust field nicca….
Never seen it.
Sounds like something that will Smith would do… ..
I do not KNOWWWWWWWWW. I loved that bitch you hear me?
Well, then she and her baby will look cute at the bus stop when they come get that car!
I read a friend’s (high school) facebook post about how God was going to reward him with all the things his enemies have taken away. What enemies? He is not a super hero. I think he must be talking about the things he hasn’t been able to buy int he last 20 years because of child support payments.
It was awful…
So knowledgeable. No wonder you’re the leader?
I wonder if she will praise Jesus then?
For THREE days! STRAIGHT! The first time it aired, my mama left the TV on ALLLLLLLLLL day and night! We were gathered around the teebee. Watched it for a lil bit. Fell asleep. It was on. Woke up to take a pee break. It was still on. Got up the next morning in hopes of watching cartoons with a bowl of ceruul. It was on. Went outside to play. It was on. Came back in before the street lights came on. It was on. Sat down for dinner. It was on. A whole 24 hours! Gathered back around to watch again that night. IT WAS ON! Woke up to go to church. IT was on.
It was on so much, my sister named her doll baby…….KIZZY! No fuggin LIE!
Awe shucks. I aint no leader. And I aint all that knowledgeable. I just retain stuff I read lol.
Then she won’t be able to make it to work because no bus route goes to her job. It’s a vicious cycle.
Hell it was on when Django came out a few years ago. I will NOT forget when “Ty” (sniggles) thought that Django was a spinoff of Roots! THAT’S how much it’s been ON! Me and @Man was WEAK! LMAO
Yasss…she cooed her azz off on that track…
RIP babygirl
She’ll be one of those folks talking about the devil stole my car. No, brokie, Nissan said you can have it back when you pay the bill.
I still ain’t/won’t see it. Now Django IS my shit!

This pastor (Steve Furtick) was saying people ask God to cancel debts, but in the meantime what are YOU doing to pay down debt and stop spending. Want to be honest, when it’s God you will get deals and blessings you never expected.
Doubt it. LOL
Same thing EYE said.
You just do the education! Ye would be proud??
Lil bad credit ( how that fuk you have a Lil bad credit
===============
It’s like being a little bit pregnant. LMBO
AWE SCHNAP. This was just LAST WEEK. I hope she makes a comeback. Cause Lord KNOWS I was a fan of hern.
I blame the folks she live with. It’s one thing if I see you setting money aside to move out, but if you look better than me while I pay that high light bill you got to go.
? might give it a listen later.
OAN mentally I’m on vacay looking and buying swimwear ???
??
?it’s a movement. They played it on Centric like that not too long ago.
And modest too.
Wow Nelly….. I haven’t heard anything from him in awhile. Mostly I listen to gospel though but I guess he got tired of feeding the St. Lunatics. It will be interesting to see how this album ones considering most to songs these days don’t rap as much as they repeat phrases.
One piece or two?
She still looks good if that’s a recent photo.
Sad…I really just dont get it ..ppl are so concerned with material shit ..
“Oh, no BC the God I serve will make it happen,”Oh, no BC the God I serve will make it happen
===========
She said Jesus already paid the price on Calvary. Le weep.
THAT is when she went OFF on dude. Bc it was on around that same time you just said few years ago…and he was like cool beans it aint never been on. *record scratch* nigga WHET rock you been under for decades?
that video is from a week ago almost.
She’ll learn……hopefully.
Lol , I been called petty twice today ..I only been here one hour ..???
not until the make a movie with black in their rightful place as Kings and Queens of various African Nations.. make it a passion project, low budget, but dammit make it. Ill spend the $17 to watch it in IMAX
Both. Mainly two
I call it cadilacking. I let a girl stay with me about 20 years back to have a baby and give up for adoption. I fell on the floor crying when my Medicaid was cut (I was going to school at the time with a child, no child support, husband ran off, etc. lol. but it wasn’t lol back then) and she came running in to hug me this was about 8 weeks after she had the baby and gave it up and she was working. I looked down and she had on a pair of brand new polo boots. I told her she was going to have to contribute that month and she told me she couldn’t. I told her she had to start looking for a place to move. Then she went to a shelter and told everyone I threw her out. I gave her a month to contribute or move out. I tell so much of my business on here, all the dayum time. lol.
Yess, if its that easy I need to start praying more ..
Grandparents ALWAYS enable their children and grandchildren.
I’m weak every time I scroll past it
Ha! I should call the hubby and tell him that and see how scared he gets. LOL!!!!!
I haven’t seen it yet but it is funny already.
Alrighty then, one day I’ll wear a two piece again..until then it’s a one piece plus a cover up.
Most of us do because people in life be TRYING it and US lol
lil bad credit= 540 FICO with 2 repos, 3 charged off accounts…but no bills in arrears
I enjoy your comments.
Right! Are slave movies the only story for blacks! 12 years a slave , the new Roots, Underground , the new Nate Turner movie , etc. I know this is apart of our history , but our history is much more than being slaves. The racial tension in this country is at an all time high for this century, why keep poking the bear(Reminding us how hated we are, and arousing hate within us)! We know of this part of our history and it’s horrible , and difficult to watch. Show the stories of the inventions of blacks , and how much blacks has contributed to this ungrateful nation , without it being about slaves.
No…The original was enough for me
Nooooooo hehehe
This pic of TI looks like that pic of that dude that died and his family had him sitting in a chair with a blunt. The internet photoshopped and meme’d his ass in EVERYTHING!
Well she better sell her and the baby clothes for cab fair. I’d throw both of them out with not one single fcuk to give. I ain’t the pappy .
never mind, this the guy that said he didn’t think females could rap till iggy.
^^^^^^^
Say what???? Please tell me this a joke.

Sorry sis, all true and I used to be a die hard fan from his chitlin circuit days. He straight disrespected every black female rap pioneer. Weird cause he used to have a black female rap duo, and did a song with lil Kim who basically blessed him with a feature.

Christians ask God for help, but then expect God to do everything Himself. They excuse this by pointing to the fact that God will provide according to His will and in His timing. Yet God is NOT an enabler. You must show yourself approved.

THANKS HONEY! HOW MANY DAYS ARE WE TALKING? KEE KEE KEE
How is Ralph’s sensitive azz a Taurus
lol Thx 
I drink theirs and ones at my house for a few days after a long weekend lol.?
POINT TAKEN!
Right it was more of a comedy with the underdog as the winner and not the slave folks. Ppl had it pegged as a slave movie and xyz. That movie was all Quentin Tarantino’s sick, twisted, gory ass. Not a total “slave trade” movie at all.
And clothes, hair and lashes can wait.
He is totally wrong to even think like that.
t.i. is a faggot.
Lauren Hill would out rap him in her sleep, hell, her weakest rap album would run rings around his best work….I’m pretty sure the devils who own him made him say that dumb shiit
Happy birthday
Thx hun
Right lol a comedy/ western that didn’t hold my attention
You’re welcome enjoy it.
Because you thought it was a connection to Roots. LMAOOOO I can see how you wouldn’t be amused. LOL
Right lol
Right lol
Is anyone original anymore?????
One of my favorite tracks..I miss her so much…
I didn’t watch it because I know that I would have acted out at my old job……Then I would have thought I was John Wick too…..LOL…
It just made me miss babygirl ? RIL Aaliyah ??
Then you need to watch “The Book of Negroes” which shows what Africans were doing before the slave traders came along and stole some.
Shaka Zulu is the movie for you.
Dre is awesome but maybe he should’ve tapped Timberland for production with a Aaliyah sample
No.
Rap Coon T.I.
There, fixed it for ya!
