a rapper from ATL.quoted from Ti in an interview "Well my name is Tip. Anybody that knows me from the streets or knows me personally calls me Tip. My momma calls me Tip, my grandmomma calls me Tip, everybody. When I rap I say T.I.P. because when I say Tip, because of my accent, people used to think I was saying Chip, Chuck, you know.. so I spell it out T.I.P.
I got signed as T.I.P. but when LaFace Records merged with Arista that put me on the same label as Q-Tip and they didn't want to work two albums with names so similar. So they asked me to change my name to T.I. "
Yeah you know they call me T.I.
but you dont know me
You be hatin an i see why

A rapper native to Atlanta formerly known as TIP. He's somewhat angry and misunderstood. A former street pharmicist gone rapper. Acknowledges his past and raps about his life situation and hopes for the future for himself and the "trap". Disputed "King of the South"... see "Ludacris". Plagued by "bustas" and "hatas" his rhymes are primarily concerned with quelling these nay-sayers. Criminally investigated with the FBI for pushin yay, that which TI indirectly admits is wrong. He wishes that people see beyond his past and what he wants to do for his community through his rap career. Critically acclaimed he's reached ol G status along with being a rhyme don.
You might see me in the street, but you don't know me. - TI
