T.I. Says Younger Rappers Think Dissing Older Generation Will Earn Them Respect

Ahead of the March 30 premiere of Rapture — Netflix’s eight-episode documentary series that dives deep into the world of Hip Hop — director Sacha Jenkins and T.I. spoke with MTV News about today’s younger generation of Hip Hop artists.

T.I. says the older generation of artists lived and experienced what they rapped about in their music in order to be accepted. He later alludes to that no longer being a requirement for today’s younger crop of artists.

“The younger generation wants to be respected, and they feel that that respect comes from the disrespect of the former generation,” T.I. says. “For us, we actually had to go out there. The things that you hear me rapping me about, these are things that I actually had to live through. I had to go out here and do these things and I earned the right to speak about them.”

Last night was mad real!!! #SXSW rockin out wit some real ones!!!! Oh If y’all don’t watch #TheChi on @showtime you buggin!!!

T.I. later made reference to Lil Xan’s recent comments about 2Pac. The 37-year-old Atlanta veteran — who was one of the first artists to criticize Xan for his controversial remarks — says the 21-year-old hasn’t taken the time to learn about Pac’s life and story.

“Right now, you have people discussing other people who haven’t gone through these necessary steps that they’ve gone through and you are critiquing their work when you haven’t really walked their path,” T.I. adds. “This guy Lil Xan he just has never really taken the time out, he’s not aware of how much work actually went into making it where Pac made it, where B.I.G. made it.”

Everyone Wants To Know Who Bit Beyoncé

During a recent interview with GQ, actress Tiffany Haddish revealed someone had the gall to bite Beyoncé in the face at a JAY-Z concert after-party last December.

Consequently, #WhoBitBeyonce became a trending Twitter hashtag on Monday (March 26) and the investigation into the matter was dubbed “bitegate.”

For the past 24 hours, the hunt to uncover who the culprit is has become like a game of Clue, especially for the Beyhive.

In February — after Haddish told an extremely vague version of the story to Vulture — The Cut did some digging and discovered who attended the Inglewood soiree. Rihanna, actor James Franco, French Montana, Queen Latifah, G-Eazy, actresses Sanaa Lathan and Sara Foster, and celebrity jewelry designer Jen Meyer were among the guests.

Lathan and Foster have since denied being the biter on their social media accounts.

Flattering that anyone thinks I could get this close to Beyoncé.

A post shared by Sara Foster (@sarafoster) on Mar 26, 2018 at 11:47am PDT

Model and wife of John Legend Chrissy Teigen claims to know but has sworn to remain silent on the matter. As reported by E! News, Teigen wrote in a since-deleted tweet, “My initial guess was wrong. The real person? I *never* would have guessed. I’VE SAID TOO MUCH.”

She followed up with, “I AM NEVER TELLING I’m scared I’ve said too much. KNOWLEDGE IS A CURSE!”

There’s also a few out there who think Quincy Jones holds the key.

But the theories floating around are seemingly endless. From Guy Fieri and Iggy Azalea to Jennifer Lawrence and Gwyneth Paltrow, it seems no one is safe from being accused of committing the crime.

Some are even hypothesizing its Haddish herself who bit Bey in the face.

It’s safe to say the Beyhive won’t rest until they figure out who bit their beloved Queen.

Until then, check out more of the theories below.
