T.I. Hits Sweet Spot on “Money Talk”

T.I. is widely known as one of the most consistent rappers in all of hip-hop, and today he dropped off a new joint that proves just that - "Money Talk."

The song, produced by C4 and Kip, is the first single off T.I.'s upcoming album The Dime Trap set to drop sometime later this year. It's the follow-up to last year's Da Nic EP, and if "Money Talk" is any indication of what the album will sound like, we can't wait to hear what he's got in store.

"Still kick the flake, I’ma swear I’m gon turn up / Came with a zip, let the whole thing burn up / All I know, get dope, getting paper / Taught me that in 85, never learned nothing different / All I see is haters in my rear view / Millions in my windshield, got a clear view / I trained myself, go deaf for a broke ni**a," he spits on the track.

The song is catchy and hints at the potential influence of Young Thug, who's been making great music with Tip lately as a part of Bankroll Mafia along with Shad Da God and the now-incarcerated Peewee Roscoe.

In 2014, Tip spoke with Elliott Wilson about the criticism Thug gets for being hard to understand. “In his defense, let me ask you – did you understand everything ODB was saying?” asked Tip. "Did you understand everything Bone Thugs-N-Harmony was saying? Did your momma and daddy understand everything James Brown was saying? Your momma and daddy didn’t understand what James Brown was saying. They just liked it.”
