T.I. Talks Accusations Of Snitching In New XXL

T.I. is hard at work to reclaim the spot he was forced to vacate before reporting to prison during the spring of 2009. A mixtape with DJ Drama and DJ MLK, defiant comeback single and an album and movie set to be released the same month show Clifford is hell bent on doing just that. Not that he’s fallen off that far, but a year away from whatever it is you love doing is always going to have its resounding impacts.

XXL recently caught up with Tip for their July 6 issue. He’s still got the same drive which catapulted him to rap’s elite and he’s still got the edge and he is by no means ready to had over his “King of the South” title to anyone who he deems undeserving. How do you really get under The King’s skin, you ask? Label him a “snitch.”

Tip also takes on haters who have accused him of “snitching,” a practice that has particularly negative connotations in the rap world — and which has proved troubling to law enforcement. The MC tells the magazine that critics should come at him with hard evidence to support their claims.

“Please understand the G code that I learned from, if you speak out your mouth that a muthaf—a is telling on somebody and you can’t come with indisputable, irrefutable facts to support that statement, that makes you the sucker,” T.I. said. “You are now in violation of the G code. And there ain’t nobody, nowhere in naan jail sayin’ I was on they paperwork.”
