Even though there is beef between the two of them, T.I. and Ludacris, have stunned everyone by putting their differences aside to collaborate together:
“There’s a time and place for everything, and now is the time,” ‘Cris told MTV News. The track is called, “Wish You Would.” It’ll be on Luda’s next LP, which is due in October.
“This [upcoming] album, Theater of the Mind, is an event, and all the songs on it are events,” Luda said. “I felt like there was no bigger event in hip-hop at this moment than me and T.I. working together.”
“Me and dude never had no problems,” T.I. said when he called in to DJ Self’s Sirius Satellite Radio show. “It was always turmoil between our camp and his camp. Us as the bosses of our companies, everyone is gonna follow our lead. We’d figure if it ain’t no problem and we don’t have no issues, no beef, then there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to get together and make music. That was an executive decision that was made on both our behalves.”
So far so good, neither doing the flex with the other. On Monday in Houston at the Ozone Awards Playaz Circle member Tity Boi had this to say about the duet:
“I was surprised just as much as everybody else was. I talked to Luda, and he said it was time to sit down, do business, make grown-man moves. Both of them got albums coming out. Time to try new things. ['Cris] did something for T.I. too that nobody heard yet. It’s about to come out soon. It’s a good move.”
Makin grown man moves is good for their bank accounts as well. I smell the sweet musky scent of manly success with this collab!
Theater of the Mind is slated for October 21, while Tip’s Paper Trail comes out September 30.
