According to HipHopGame.com Young Buck To 'Stomp' Out Luda/ T.I. Beef On Debut Album

If you have a mixtape featuring "Stomp," Young Buck's posse cut with T.I. and Ludacris, hold onto it. It's a collector's item. The track as we know it, with Cris and Tip battling each other, isn't going to be included on Buck's upcoming Straight Outta Cashville LP. Instead, a remix is going on the album, with newcomer D-Tay replacing T.I.
...
Buck says he asked 50 Cent to reach out to T.I. for a collaboration for Straight Outta Cashville. 50 obliged, and the track was sent to Atlanta for T.I. to rhyme on. Buck said he was surprised when the song came back with the line "And me getting beat down, that's ludicrous," because he didn't know if was a dis or not.

"I was hearing on the streets that [T.I.] and Luda be having problems with each other, and I know I just did a song with Luda's group about a week or two before," Buck elaborated. "Me and Luda are cool. To be all the way honest, I'd known Luda before I knew T.I., so I couldn't just jump on this record and have them having differences with each other, and then [have Luda] be like, 'Yo, Buck, what's up?' "

Staying diplomatic, Buck talked the situation over with Cris and even played T.I.'s verse for him. Ludacris confirmed that the two had been going back and forth, and he wanted to get on the song and speak his piece.

"I even got at T.I. like, 'Yo, Luda heard this record. He wanna jump on the record,' " Buck explained, "just to make sure all the feelings and everything would stay the same way. And he was like, 'Oh, I'm cool. I'm cool with it.' "

So Ludacris laced "Stomp" with his own battle raps, and the streets have been talking ever since.

T.I. and Cris have apparently now squashed their beef, Buck said, but controversy still surrounds the song. According to Buck, T.I.'s camp requested that Ludacris change his verse before they clear Tip to be on the album. (A T.I. spokesperson had no comment on that.) The G-Unit soldier said Cris has refused.

"Even throughout the song, you don't hear either one talking about killing each other," Buck lamented.

I'm not surprised Ludacris didn't want his rhymes removed. He totally schooled T.I. on that track. It's also a statement as to who is the bigger star that Luda's verses stay but T.I.'s will be removed given the standoff between both rappers. The track is hot, too bad it won't be making it onto the album.

By the way, Young Buck is wrong about them not talking about killing each other though.  T.I.s verse ends with When the choppers hit you bitch, you'll wish you got your ass stomped.

I agree Luda's verse is better, but I like TI's verse a lot too. Had some great lines in there ("all you getting is rodney dangerfield, no respect"). That's my favorite version I've heard so far, and it's definitely one of my favorite recent tracks.

I haven't heard the version with D-Tay - how is it?

There's also a version circulating with The Game in the #2 spot. I'm usually a big fan, but his verse is only so-so. Everyone knows this one is going to be big and wants to be on it :)

Speaking of The Game and hot tracks, have you heard Westside Story? Dre hooked him up on the beat there..
