T.I. Keeps Explaining Why He Can't Go Against Busta Rhymes

by HHL JT

T.I. really, really doesn't want to go against Busta Rhymes in a Verzuz showdown.

When Buss first challenged him, Tip explained that it wouldn't be appropriate because Rhymes is eight years older and thus not of his generation.

So Busta called him a chicken who's afraid of a public ass-whupping.

Such taunts didn't sway Tip, who further explained why he wants no part of his senior.

"I spoke to Busta," said T.I. "I gave him LL's number. I told him, that's the tree you want to bark up. You might want to get back in the generation of yours that you want to represent for. Busta is an incredible talent. An undeniable legend. Ain't no quarrels or ain't no criticism. There's no dispute here. Just as I know with great certainty that he belongs in the generation that he represents."

"If you play a record that came out in '87, what I'm gone do? Play a record that came out in '93? What am I gone do,"  Tip wondered. "I don't know, it just doesn't feel even keel. You know, Busta and LL. Busta and Twista. I think all of those are excellent match-ups. I know he wouldn't be avoiding them to come into the 2000 generation just to avoid a true match-up from someone in his generation.

What do you think of this logic?
