T.I. Calls to Share His Opinions on Kanye West's Visit w/ Trump at The White House 

"I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves."

Why didn't he just go with him? If he said most of the things he was saying were correct he just didn't like how he went about it - well, you had the opportunity to go and help him. I felt like T.I. was one of the only few people who actually understood Kanye and that's probably why he invited you to come with him. But now here you are, tearing down a friend on Instagram. Kanye actually trying to do something vs everyone else who just wants to complain and cry for the next 2, possibly 6 years.

Kanye is Samuel Jackson from django unchained

he didn't bring up the Central Park five he didn't bring up the Discrimination lawsuit against Trump he didn't bring up NFL players being called sons of a b he didn't bring up calling Africa s continent calling black women names that's just for starters

Man KanYe wasn’t all over the place because of no mental illness. He was all over the place because he believes it’s actually commendable to not read, to not take advice, to not temper your ideas with facts, he had said this repeatedly on his social media. Whatever new age “self help guru” he following, or however many times he watched The Secret, he got this idea that you can just impulsively open your mouth and it’s going to all “work itself out.”

What I'm going in there fuhhhhhhhh 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂 T.I. stay cracking me up man lol lol

Fact is people keep saying he should have taken someone with him to address these issue & guide him, but when he asked people they said no... sometimes we can’t just make him the villlain... frfr... Js...

Exactly I Love The Way He Spoke About This Situations!!!

Stop making excuses for him, He been with this. When slavery was a choice you had no problem getting on that free plane ride for a sweater and a listening party.

Ti once professed to be a Christian. He was so excited about serving Jesus and sharing Gods love for everyone. But like so many famous stars, Beyonce, West, Jazee, they just can let go of the world. Its like a dog going back to its vomit after being washed clean. (2 Pet 2:20-22)

Broadcasting live from the west side! # salute T. I

Notice how TI STATES EVERYTHING KANYE TALKED ABOUT was POSITIVE With KNOWLEDGE But the ONLY Thing is KANYE was going OVERBOARD a bit as Long as People Know thAt The REAL MESSAGE WILL COME

Kanye said free Hoover

T.I. Blocking your # after this one. Set him up quick lol

Kanye & Jim Brown at the table with Donald Trump, but both had nothing real to say about the issues we face in America!!! This was about "Kanye West" thinking that he's powerful because of his relationship with Trump,!!! While Trump is just using him to get the young black voters! 😂😂😂

We can debate what Kanye said all day. The FACT of the matter is Trump does not care about our issues and problems. Presentation is irrelevant when you're dealing with a person that imo sees us as sub human. To hear someone else's point you need to have empathy. Trump has none. He's shown us who he REALLY is. We just need to accept it. It is what it is. Period.

"Lauryn Hill said her heart was in Zion."

"That ain't Hip-hop". Well said T. I. Rappers have historically fought the "power" unapologetically.

So Caitlin isn't enough of a father figure for Kanye?

TI I am with you all the way. It is hard to tear down a solid foundation stand firm. No weapons performed against you shall prosperous.

Django II staring Ye as Stephen Jr..

I love TI, he is articulate, proud black man , generous to his Community, good father, good Son.

Kanye had me sick with that visit.

TIP the voice of The South and The South is the heart of African American People and Culture. So I feel TIPs opinion is valid AF. He got a point. BC what we saw in The White House allows The Silver Spooners to feel justified in their lax action towards healing what they tried to destroy.

Kanye went there as a fan of Trump. Kanye brought up some relevant issues that needs to be discussed.

It very suspect on how these celebs are worried about what Kanye thinks and does!

He said he tired of talking about him but calls in to talk about him 😂😂

I like what TI said in the ending of this conversation...No matter what color or race..God bless us all

T,I always well spoken

Tip is a most exceptional young Black Man. I am always impressed when I hear him speak.

I'm sorry, I love Jim Brown but he's bumped his damn head

He talked about not having a father, his love for the MAGA hat, his love for Trump, and Superman....Did he ever discuss prison reform?

Some of his ideas and issues that he did speak about were valid but the ass kissing to Trump just was over the top and not needed. But like the issues about inmates needing jobs available to them when they are released and utilizing his company Yeezy to provide the jobs to them is great ...but the whole rant he went on about the president needing to look good and have the best, referencing the airplane manufactured by Apple ...now if it was Obama sitting in that interview and not Trump.. I would be more on board .. 👍🏾 just sayin ! Kanye has great ideas and aspirations for this country but his delivery and choice of Words As well as his behavior when speaking and addressing these ideas dismisses his whole intent totally! He needs to take a breath and think first before speaking and slow the hell down too. He’s too hyper and when addressing this country and trying to bring ideas to the President he should of been calm cool and collective and maybe just maybe the issues he spoke about would of made more sense and people would of paid attention to him and been more receptive instead of paying attention to the negative things he was doing like the huggin and ass kissin to Trump.

If you got fam in GA or live in GA, you can tell TI was pissed. When we start speaking fast and stumbling through words, we are excited or pissed.

Can someone explain what kanye said or did at the white house that's freaking everyone out? Or is it the fact that he went in the first place?? You can hate trump but hes still president. Really stupid to give kanye all this hate visiting trump, if that's what this is all about.

I can't support anyone who doesn't support my community. Thanks T. I for taking a stand and speaking up.

Is it me, or is T.I. speaking faster than normal... I love T.I. but you had the opportunity to go with Kanye, why didn't he?! But now have a lot to say. Lol Kanye asked you for a reason! So fr fr, Kanye jus on some, "ok wtr, I'm going with or without you," when he should've had guidance. T.I. knew this was above his snd Kanye's head, so he should have worked on getting Farrakhan like he mentioned... this all could've be avoided.

Re-enforcing Bad Behavior never is a good thing. Enough of talking about Mr. Kanye West lack of common sense.

Who need free beats

"Oh no don't let Kanye have his own opinion! He's not black because of his views!" Come on people, wake up. Lol and T.I. always mad and disagreeing with everyone lol

There's an elephant in the room... The fact that we had a black president for 8 years and problems in the black community still abound. Like why?

to not temper your ideas with facts...love it!

Soooo... No one is addressing the issue that he had a manic episode? Clearly he isn't the Kanye he used to be and maybe people should think about him having major mental health issues not because he is for Trump not because of about what he talks about. Just look at how he does it. It's manic .. He needs help.. only then he can raise the isssues he wanted to talk about clearly and sensical .. No matter who he supports Idc about that.

Thank you Tip!

Kanye was my favorite hip hop artist but now he just keeps disappointing me. Everything he does is so hurtful and dumb.

The people of Chicago said he need to come back home and he came, Obama was in the White house for 8years and crime rate increased in that time, and he sent the murder Mayor Rahm here, If Obama did half the shit he promised we would be straight but the city and state not. DEMOCRATS been running this city for 70 PLUS years let that sink in, and it's a shit hole on its way to be the next Detroit. You might not like the way he did it but he said nothing wrong. Pres. Trump said this guy can speak for me anytime i guess u missed that part, He asked Kanye how old Larry Hoover is i guess u missed that. What Kanye said: - The 13 amendment needs to be amended because it allows for slavery to exist via imprisonment (I AGREE) - Trump is an industry man who goes in and gets things done and he sees him as a super hero like he does Ralph Lauren BECAUSE THEY’VE MASTERED THEIR RESPECTIVE LANES (not Trump as president, but as an industry businessman) & when he wears the MAGA hat, he feels like Superman because he aspires to achieve what he has in business, the same way y’all feel when y’all meet a celebrity y’all look up to or when y’all crack cards to buy/wear red bottoms and Balenciaga’s) and feel superior because yo shoes cost more than that bitch whole outfit... just the messenger - Free Larry Hoover because he is an advocate and has a curriculum that could help counter the behavior in Chicago; he has something to teach and instill (I don’t follow Hoover like that, but 6 life sentences is a lot) - A reputable neuropsychologist tested his brain and said that Kanye is not bipolar, but sleep deprived which could lead to dementia if he doesn’t counter that behavior (so for all of you posting the meme’s glorifying lack of rest, someone will label you bipolar soon too if you don’t start going to sleep. You can take a break from your hustle, it’s okay) - Black People get caught up in being victimized and focusing on racism because we have not received adequate reparations & while he doesn’t disagree that Racism exists, HE DOES NOT ALLOW IT TO DEFEAT HIM, he feels he is invincible, which is very narcissistic of him, but no lies told though. He also said that black people are very proud and emotional (I agree lmfao). We need land instead of brands. In other words, give us our fucking 40 acres and a mule and amend the 13th amendment so that we pardon people instead of imprisoning them then maybe we will stop focusing in on slavery (this is possible)... - we kill each other more than police do, due to our mental health issues which is why we need more mental health facilities; mental health facilities will cause a decline in murders (I agree) - stop and frisk needs to be eliminated (black people are stereotyped and marginalized via stop and frisk and it should be eliminated (I agree) - we need habilitation FIRST/not JUST REhabilitation because many concepts we haven’t even learned yet (WHERE’S THE FUCKING LIE)??? - Black ppl didn’t write the 13th amendment so it wasn’t fair representation of them; & it was illegal for black people to read when it was written, so had they even read it to understand it, they could’ve been imprisoned, which is why it should be eliminated (ALL FACTS) - Legal Guns are the problem (police officers); do something about them (again, WHERE’S THE LIE)? - He wants Trump to wear a MAKE AMERICA GREAT hat (not make it great again, hat, but just make it great) because it’ll show that we can come together on an issue (I get this, but I don’t care what Trump wears lmfao, I don’t even like looking at his ass) - Put factories in Chicago and stop outsourcing to China, create jobs for Chicagoans, decrease crime rates (where’s the issue) - Create Yeezy ideation Center’s in Chicago for the creatives and mix curriculum so that you can do yoga and draw while learning math (dope fucking concept) - Ppl who come from the streets and experience true turmoil need to be apart of repairing it (I.e. Larry Hoover). Having people who don’t understand it, reform it, is counterproductive (I Agree to an extent; it should be a fair mix) - He loves everyone, he loves Trump (and y’all love Housewives and rappers who beat their baby mommas, tomato/tomatoe) Y’all want artists to use their platforms to initiate change, but only if he articulates his thoughts to y’all liking? Only if he has a translator conveying the message for him? Only if he’s confrontational and demeans 45 in the process? Aye man, pick your poison! If you don’t like what Kanye is doing by using HIS PLATFORM TO SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE, do that shit yourselves, but y’all won’t, because you don’t think you have power, so you criticize someone who does, right? We are visual people! All y’all see is that he’s alongside/hugging a man you hate, so he can burn in hell, right? I’m not discarding him lol. I’ll discard you before I do him because you’re sitting on your couch eating frito fucking lays while he’s subjecting himself to ridicule and hate by speaking on your behalf. Good day, sir/ma’am! Miss me with the bullshit! THANKS!

Maaan how u gon protest and not like a man. But refuse to sit down with him. I dont wanna hear shit nobody got to say who declined the sit down.

The truth right there from Tip himself!

He had an opportunity to go but he declined....end of story.

I don't fault T.I. for not going to the White House. He knows Trump's intentions and what he stands for, based on what he's said and done. He obviously didn't want to be a part of it.

What boot licking? Kanye just went off and didnt let Trump talk lol I thought he upstaged him

It is what it is!! Choices! Thanks TI.

I think Kanye knows what hes doing. He knows that the best way to fight evil is with kindness. Kanye isn't "bootlicking". its a strategy. He has been saying "try love", cause obviously hating on trump is not working and has gotten us nowhere. He is trying a different approach. Instead of bashing him, why not just wait and see how this all plays out?

Tip the most low key check u dude quick. That most subtle "nigga dont get me fucked up"

Black ppl believe it's acceptable to slap a person for expressing a different opinion?

T.I. YOU ARE A GENUIS! LOVE YOUR APPROACH AND YOUR ANSWERS TO THIS KANYE MESS! TEAM T.I. ALL THE WAY!!

don't be fooled people, the king of the South is using Kanye's trolling to stay relevant.

From NWA at the White House to Kanye what a difference T I you on point the new generation is watching

People always talkin about somebody that man was with the president most will never get that close

T.I. really is that stand up type of guy!

I would love to see Colin Kaepernick meet with Trump

I'm TIRED of nectar mattress commercials on RU-vid😵😵😵😵

Why is talking about ppl who ppl who broke the law coming here more important then jobs in the hood, or not having stop and frisk?

How can an unrighteous man, lead another man to righteousness? Boy my people really need to wake up.

This is a conversation about love. Tip just said he agrees with the things he was talking about he don't agree with how he did it. You don't fight fire with fire. And Tip you said it yourself bro that you not even trying to understand love and unconditional love at that. That's the issue here. Most of us don't even want to try to understand unconditional love. Unconditional love is for everybody even those that appear to be against you. You Love your neighbor how you would like to to be loved yourself. This masculine ego thing is something serious. Why we gotta be tough all the time. Why someone gotta be soft or subservient or weak to display an appreciation and love for another? C'mon do you think Trump would have listened if Ye went in there all militant and meeting him with authoritative energy? It's like a Father's daughter introducing him to her new boyfriend. You ain't gone want a dude coming in there being all tough and harsh with you with knowing there's things she opened up and told her boyfriend about her father good and bad. Use your hearts and please want to understand unconditional love. The only way to understand Kanye is to understanding...overstanding unconditional love.

Kanye did the absolute right thing. He went to the White House to create dialogue and he tried to invite others to come with him to express their views, but they refused and after the fact, they complained about Kanye. Well at least Kanye had the nerve to make himself present and express his views! Closed mouths don’t get fed-add that phrase to your next rap!

4:15 Tip from I’m serious came out in this interview lol

its unfortunate because Kanye should not be speaking on ANY SITUATION involving black people; Kanye's intentions are NOT in the right place; where is the proof of that?; his Stephen Fetch-it presentation was EXACTLY what he wanted; T.I. is right - he showed us EXACTLY who and what he is!

United States doesn't survive from celebrities or entertainers. But through hard working educated professional and successful people who work for our country. Let's not forget our soldiers who seek to serve our country and make the choice to stay out of the street gangs and violence. And for those who work hard to seek to improve and advance the wealth being of our people changing poverty and middle class two more opportunities. Trump 2020🇺🇸 fearless

T.I.KING said "Broke back subservience". Booiiiiyyy. Kanye disrespected his own manhood and doesn't even know it. 👏👏👏👏

How is t i going to tell anyone what to do when they get into a meeting with Trump when he don't even want to meet with Trump🤔🤔🤔

I think Donda was working hard behind the scenes, may she rest in peace. I think she would be disappointed, but then again, he probably wouldn't be "this" Kanye if she was still here.

Ti ‘s views are like listening to lint in my jean pocket

Kanya West is running for President.. remember 2pac said.. my every move was a calculated step... TI.. please step up! you are the chosen one...

Im a tip fan from day 1but this the same man that enshrined trap music last week with whole exhibits glorifying the things that have helped destroy our people Foh tip with all due respect

He was all over the place because Kanye is UNSTABLED! A double minded man is UNSTABLED! Shalom!

T.I full of ideas of what could be said. Why not go and say it yourself? You had the chance.

Dr. Claude Anderson is the man we need to speak for black people.

You don't have to like Trump but damm just sit down with the man and talk and have some type of dialogue??

I fully respect and appreciate TI’s perspective

Blacks, you all should keep tearing each other down. That is what we do best. Everyone has something to say.

Tip needs to stick to what he's good at... making music about pushing drugs to his community. And basically shut the fuck up about being some sorta leader of his people.

I disagree with tip on this, he's only continuing to live in the last 400 yrs of hate. Kanyes thought are so ahead of his time, he spoke on so many issues in 20 mins, about love, racism, freedom, welfare, Colin, jobs, taxes, the economy, chicago, etc. Make America Great is what this country needs to become and you only get that with futuristic, unwavering thoughts. Had the President in his pocket the whole conversation. Somebody got to do it, regardless, and now y'all mad, I dont understand. "Kanye for PRESIDENT"

Well said T.i. You are saying what a lot of people is thinking.

Officer Tip 👮‍♂️

Ti all the way !! He speaks well and is good to all people!

Someone had to go up there. Everyone is say Kanye is not Articulate and has mental health issues In that he doesn't know how to express himself without going off course so knowing all of this why haven't anyone decided to step up and go to the White House voice their issues and concerns and possible solutions to these problems we having as a people to the President. face-to-face on camera if everyone knows Kanye means well. T.i.p is articulate and conducts hisself well as a man. I don't think he needed the Minister to a Acompany him to the white house. And if he did Minister Louis Farrakhan would have been talking not T.i

At least Kanye West has the balls to go to the Whitehouse and talk about the problems in America .the rest of these rappers all the do is talk about other people trying to make America great. Offsted of bitching and crying and act like adults and talk to the president face to face .

Kanye speaking the truth about welfare. It was a great visit

F*cking love T.I.P. and his deep thoughts vs. word choices. His “Get Hard” scene where he initiates Mayo roflmao!

Yes T.i number one rapper music

The only way Kanye could have made black people happy would have been to not go or act a damn fool. And that’s completely unfortunate.

Farrakhan likes trump.

Kanye free to support whomever he wishes, but why talk down about black people in the process??? Kanye was really doing the most.

Why every time ye does something I gotta hear T.I.'s opinion on it

Shiiit I'm trying to link up with Trump myself.. I have an idea to make America great again.. everything in motion.. put the coke back in Coca-Cola 💯😎🚬

I hate that he’s a womanizer because other than that he is so smart and well spoken

KANYE IS BASICALLY LIKE A KID WHO'S TRYING TO SAVE PEOPE FROM DROWNING EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SWIN HIMSELF, WHICH CAUSES MORE TROUBLE THAN THERE NEEDS TO BE IN THE SITUATION

TI and these other black celebrities that are Democrats are like. Hey master they bout to leave the plantation.

We see that Kanye Woke up faster than Steve Harvey.
