Best Of 2011: Verses
5. TI - Hear Ye, Hear Ye
I know I am 4 days late, but I’ve been busy. Here is my final favorite verse from 2011. TIP comes back from a stint in the pokey my just ripping beats left and right. After spitting freestyle after freestyle, TIP finally released some new music. Reuniting with Skateboard P and the Neptunes on the beat, TIP spits 2 verses, no hook, over a grimy ass beat. He talks about his arrest, what the streets have been saying, and public opinion about him. Honestly, the first time I heard this song, I didn’t like the beat, the second time I kept replying Pharrell’s verse but that shit was cray, after about the 9th time I let it play and I heard TIP’s verses. Damn, I felt like an idiot, like I had been going to Broncos game and leaving before the 4th quarter when Tim Tebow steps up. Because of that TIP had one of my favorite verses from 2011.
We are already 4 days into 2012 and he hasn’t stopped. Dropping a mixtape AND a guest spot on my new favorite rapper of 2012, 2 CHAINZ!!, latest single. TIP just might end up on this list again next year.
