He then says how important it is to listen to the youth as there are so many teachable moments for our generation. When asked what the energy was in Atlanta, TIP tells Nick; “It’s the same as everywhere else, we’re sick and tired and fed up with it.” He continues; “We just have to have strategic ways of releasing our energy, we gotta direct our energy towards something meaningful.” Referring to the portion of people who are looting, which could hurt the overall cause of the movement.

When asked about his “Wakanda” comment, T.I. tells Nick; “America has an incredible debt to pay, we must make sure we allow karma to have it’s way with America, in exchange for the dastardly deeds that have been done in the past.” He continues, “I said Wakanda because I didn’t want to say, that we had inherited an infrastructure of a eutopia that has been cast down from generation to generation and right now, this is the example for the rest of the nation to look at.”
