"What Up, What's Haapnin'" is a song by American rapper T.I., released on September 2, 2008, as the fifth single from his sixth studio album Paper Trail (2008). The song, which was produced by high-profile American record producer Drumma Boy, is a diss track directed towards fellow Atlanta-based rapper Shawty Lo, in response to his multiple accusations that T.I. is not from his hometown of Bankhead.[1][2] The song peaked at 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 97 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, when it first leaked online. The video had made its way to iTunes, BET's 106 & Park, and MTV.
