DO YOU AGREE?
ATL Legend, T.I. has been focus more on the political side of things when it came to his music lately. TIP dropped an EP in September 2016 called Us Or Else, which had songs that focused on police brutality and racial profiling. He even participated in an New York protest after Trump was officially elected.
With an interview will Billboard, the KING, mentioned that he will not be getting into politics soon, but strongly believes that the late Tupac Shakur would have been the perfect candidate if he wasn’t killed in 1996. TIP recently honored Tupac at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony where Pac was inducted.
“Anything could have happened with ‘Pac, man,” Tip said. “Just his diverse intellect, and the way he thought outside the box could have led him anywhere in life. He may have gotten into politics by now. Who knows?”
Despite his intention to stay out of public office, he did offer plenty of advice for those wanting to get involved in making a difference in the world, which he believes starts at home.
“Get involved with local elections,” he said. “Find out who your local politicians are and hold them accountable to create substance within the community.
“I’m not a politician,” he added. “If I can use my influence for the best for someone else, who I feel is deserving, I would do that, but I am not a politician. I’m too motivated.”
While working on his final season of his VH1 show, T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, and preparing to drop more music of his own, there’s a possibility he won’t stop being vocal about his stance on politics.
You can catch the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony April 29 on HBO to see TIP honoring Tupac.
