T.I. Vs. T.I.P. Preview: Bragging With Jay-Z, and EMINEM

[jaxthemc]

.I. vs. T.I.P. is finally finished.

MTV News recently had the opportunity to hear the final version of T.I.'s upcoming album (see "T.I. Taking On T.I.P. With Help From Eminem, Justin Timberlake"). Some of the tracks that we heard previously are still there, but a few have been taken off (such as a duet with Ciara), and it seems that a planned duet with Justin Timberlake didn't get off the ground.

Among the new ones that made the cut is T.I.'s long-talked-about collaboration with Jay-Z. The track, "Watch What You Say," appears in Act I of the album, which features T.I.P.'s point of view. Over producer Khao's slow guitars, Tip immediately lets his opponents know that playing games is for kids and nobody better call him out. "Let me find you talkin' tough in your song, when you see/ You know what's up, it's on," he warns. "I'll make a mountain out a molehill, you don't wanna get your folk killed/ ... I ain't never been a sucka, been gangsta my whole life."

Hov comes in on the second verse scolding scoundrels who talk tough but hide when they're confronted. "N---as get to runnin' before you finish your sentence/ Then they back to riffin' from a safe distance," he laughs aloud about the losers.

"You're talking to the author, the architect of The Blueprint / My DNA is in your music," Jay adds later.
