T.I. Addresses The Drake Pee Bar On “We Did It Big”

T.I. recently dropped off his eleventh studio album The L.I.B.R.A, which served as a thorough reminder of his prowess behind the microphone. And though there was much to unpack across the star-studded twenty-track project, one particular bar on “We Did It Big” ultimately went on to cause quite the stir on social media. “While I’m fightin’ my own somehow got you home,” T.I. rapped, in heartfelt dedication to his late friend Terrance “Cap” Beasley. “So drunk in LA, end up pissin’ on Drake, shit / Fuck it, that’s still my brother since back in the trap house.”

Though hardly a diss, Drake didn’t exactly seem thrilled by the urine-soaked namedrop, who went on to unfollow Tip on Instagram. Some immediately felt that mentioning the infamous incident was disrespectful, with others went so far as to declare the bar to be a straight-up diss. In response, T.I. took a moment to reflect on the fallout during a conversation with Ebro Darden on Apple Music’s Rap Life.

“That’s the wildest sh*t I’ve ever seen before in my f*cking life,” says Tip, after Ebro addresses the diss track rumors. “You know what I’m saying? But that sh*t, I ain’t had no malicious intent. You know these blogs going to take it and flip it however. And then I just don’t see how that could ever be taken as a diss. I don’t see how that could be. That would be someone allowing their emotions to manipulate them if so.”

T.I. ft John Legend: “We Did It Big”

T.I. reveals that he actually moved to put John Legend on the hook following a suggestion from Rick Ross, who immediately conjured imagery of a “white piano and smoke.” Unfortunately, upon receiving the vocals from Legend, Tip learned that both John and his wife Chrissy Teigen had experienced a miscarriage. “I don’t know whether he did it before or during,” reflects T.I. “I don’t know. I just know that it made the record mean so much more to me. The fact that he chose to, I guess you could say, share that moment.”

One Yen unveils where alternative rock meets the search for something more with “Vesica Piscis (Open)”

One Yen‘s latest release, “Vesica Piscis (Open)” is an emotionally charged and provocative album of alternative rock that is as compelling as it is powerful. With driving rhythms, layered guitars, atmospheric textures, and soaring melodic vocals, the song captures the spirit of late ‘90s alt-rock while embracing the big sound of modern alt-rock.

Named after the ancient symbol created by the intersection of two circles, Vesica Piscis immediately positions itself as more than a typical rock anthem. It explores awakening, self-discovery, duality, and man’s eternal quest for meaning outside the material world. Instead of giving easy answers, the lyrics begin an ongoing dialogue about identity, consciousness, and transcendence.

Musically, the song keeps up a compelling sense of momentum throughout. The song is built around a powerful foundation of energetic instrumentation, with atmospheric layers providing enough space for reflection. That mix of power and nuance ensures that the ride is never so enthralling that it loses its emotional heft.
