[QUOTE="HotNewHipHop, post: 51651, member: 83"] This topic may not be taking over Hip Hop circles, but it has caused debates over the years. Rich and famous rappers are far removed from their street origins but several continue to boast about that life in their music. It speaks to where they come from and connects them to their fans, but for T.I., he made a decision that staying in the Trap lane mentally isn't for him anymore because that doesn't speak to his lifestyle. The Atlanta icon sat down with the [I]Top Billin' with Bill Bellamy[/I] podcast and spoke about switching things up. "I don't have a [URL='https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ti-names-moneybagg-yo-as-trap-music-museums-2021-trapper-of-the-year-news.149314.html']Trap music mindset,[/URL]" said the rapper.
