T.I. Ignores Snoop Dogg’s Bashing, Keeps “Roots” On

Hustle Gang leader T.I. is not buying into West Coast rap veteran Snoop Dogg‘s issues with his “Roots” show.

Last night (June 2) on Instagram, Tip showed off a picture of the family watching “Roots.”

This week, Snoop dished out his problem with movies and television shows like “Roots” focusing on historic black injustice.

T.I. recently defended the message behind his “Roots” series.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, T.I. said that works like Roots help embody the idea of historical justice. “The quest for truth should be a lifelong journey,” T.I. said. “From the time you’re born to the time you die, you’re supposed to be seeking knowledge and truth. This is a piece of it. This is a huge, huge chapter, so I think it’s incredibly important.” (Rolling Stone)

The rap veteran also recently revealed why he initially did not want to join the production.

“This was an opportunity that he presented to me, and of course initially he got a little bit of push back from me,” Tip said referring to producer Will Packer’s intent on having him join the show cast. “I will admit that I was one of the ones to say, ‘Man, I don’t know if that needs to be remade.’ It was just a huge undertaking for him as a producer and for me as an actor to sign up to remake such a classic and to tell a story that has so much pain and just so much turmoil involved in it.” (Huff Post)
