The rapper shared his view about the phenomenal success of his show and stated that some of the discussions on his podcast needed to be had. He told "The Blast":

"I'm humbled that so many people wanna hear. Hopefully, we are beginning new perspectives and insights to the culture. It's important we have these discussions, as uncomfortable as some may be."

The success of T.I.'s podcast made many people believe that his expertise in raising and talking about controversial issues and topics had a huge hand in it.

Though "Expeditiously" is doing well since its inception, Tip has explained to "Big Boy TV" that he never really planned the podcast to begin with.

The rapper said:

"I had no idea, no real desire or intention to do one. I was approached by Podcast One and they said "hey man why don't you do a podcast."

The rapper also admitted to getting advice from his son, as well as some clarification from Podcast One, on what the podcast should be about.
