TI Recalls Hearing Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" For The 1st Time At Usher's House

TI says that he was at a barbecue at Usher's house when he heard Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" for the first time. He detailed the moment the party caught wind of the diss track during a recent interview on Big Boy's Neighborhood.

T.I. began by revealing that he's been hearing the song played in the clubs. "I was at Usher's house. We were having a little get-together. A barbecue or what have you," he began. He added: "Any social circle you gather during that time period, that's gonna be the conversation. So everybody was, just as you said, listening to the records as they dropped." He then explained that as they were listening to "Family Matters," T.I. noticed that "Not Like Us" dropped. "Those are moments that hip-hop created," he said. From there, he revealed that they all went to the club and both diss tracks played. "It all stimulates the attention of this thing that we do, what we know and love so much. So, I think that any time you got two giants in a field that are worthy opponents, you know that can match wits with one another, I feel like it's gon' be good for the game," he said.

While he does feel its good for the game of hip-hop, he did, however, add: "I will say this, they done kinda f**ked it up for some other people who were planning to drop, you know what I'm saying, in this period. I think the people were like, 'D**n, I was gon' drop but, you know, let me just see this through.'" Check out his full comments on the matter below.
