T.I. is giving stand-up comedy a try for the first time.
Twenty years ago, the rapper collaborated with Lil Wayne, Trick Daddy, and Lil Jon on Urban Legend‘s “Stand Up,” but he’s going for a different take this time.
January 20, videos appeared online of Tip on the stage of a comedy club. The clips were shorter than two minutes, and the rapper does a stand-up routine on cheating and relationships.
“If you ever get into the area of cheating, that’s no man’s land. Now, you don’t want to do that,” the video starts. “You know, it’s all right to have friends and shit. Let me ask y’all a question. Can you be in a committed relationship and still have a friend from the opposite sex? Now, if you fucking, it don’t count!”
Tip’s performance got some laughs from the crowd, but comments laughed for different reasons. Most comments booed and joked about the rapper. Although, there were a few that lent valid criticisms, like the rapper’s comedic timing.
T.I.’s Hobbies Outside Of Music
The Atlanta rapper has been stepping out of his comfort zone over the years. He has recently tried stand-up comedy, and he’s been acting for years. He’s had roles in ATL, Takers, American Gangster, Marvel’s Ant-Man, and more. Don’t forget about his VH1 reality series T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle.
Even though he’s been trying other ventures, the rapper’s heart still lies with music. Tip even declared that he’s still at the top of the game in a recent video while name-dropping Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Pusha T, and Nas.
“Now, you might like somebody else better. It might be somebody else, you, ‘I like this better than I like T.I.’ Okay, fine, ’cause you like them better. That’s cool, that’s your preference, but n***a, when it comes to putting shit out, ain’t nobody fucking with me, man.”
