T.I. vs. T.I.P is the upcoming album by rapper T.I.. It is currently scheduled to be released on July 3, 2007[1].

T.I. explained the album’s title, saying, "It’s basically a battle within myself. There’s not nobody out there doing what I do as well as I do it, so I see myself as worthy competition for myself."

"I'm not just making an album, I'm making f---in' opera here," he chuckled. With such a high concept, he says that he's making sure to take extra time and critique every song to be sure he doesn't lose anyone.

"It'd be easy for me to go over people's heads," he rationalized. "Sometime people might see me act a certain way one time and another way one another time. They might not believe the same cat you see dressed so sharp and winning awards and speaking eloquently is the same cat you see fist-fighting with hoodlums outside a nightclub. This album will be an explanation of all of this."

'T.I. vs. T.I.P.' is also the name of one of the songs from T.I.'s sophomore album,Trap Muzik.

T.I. revealed some of the people he's working with; it's unknown whether they'll be on the album or not: Eminem, Ciara, Akon, Nelly, R. Kelly, Justin Timberlake and Lil Wayne.

He also revealed some of the producers: Grand Hustle Producers, Just Blaze, Black Mob, Mannie Fresh, Danja, Wyclef Jean, Timbaland, The Runners and Scott Storch.

The first street single will be released to radio stations at the beginning of April.
