Is T.I. Really the KING?

Posted on July 3, 2007 9:00 AM

Tell me what makes T.I. the King? I see this man beefin with many and talking himself up to be the greatest thing in the south, is he? Tuesday only sees the release of 2 notable southern rap artists both of them from Atlanta. One of course is T.I.v with 'T.I. vs T.I.P.' a battle between the two versions of the man who sees himself above the competition and has decided an album to battle his only real competition would be against himself. The other release is that from Pastor Troy called 'Tool Muziq' which had a slight amount of controvery but not big hype.

So back to T.I. how did he get to where he can claim the status of the King of the South and did he earn it and is it true? It's late night or early Tuesday and I check out the iTunes music store and what do I see in the hip hop section, see for yourself.

Yeah that's right you're looking at iTunes, or should it be called T.i.Tunes today, oh wait it is if you read the top middle banner? Damn near everything on the whole hip hop page is related to T.I. well at least the middle of the page and the top banners. What did he do to deserve this status, have you seen a Lil Flip day, DJ Screw day, will there be a UGK day because UGK has got way more credit in the game and the south than T.I. will ever have?

It's all about him being the perfect artist for a major these days. He plays the game, does the dance and gives them what they want. You want pop tunes, he'll give it to you, you want beef with another rapper, he'll do that too, you want him to get on MTV and BET and give them the 2007 version of the shiny suit, he's in there and all over that TRL sh!t.

You tell me what you think, are you buying the T.I. album, have you drank the kool-aid and gone in on letting media tell you what you want to hear instead of you telling them. When you look at iTunes for music today, you see T.I.'s favorite albums, favorite videos, favorite films and you know what, that man loves himself if you see what I'm saying. So speak up people and let me know what you think and let the media know who the real King or Kings of the South are, and I do believe they're from P.A.T. and the Land of the Trill!

Too bad there wasn't a video for this sh!t, so you'll just have to close your eyes lean back and hear it.

DigiPimp - T.I. ain't got a thing on the real kings!

T.I. Ain't sh--.


Cocaine is a hell of a drug............

first!! t.i. is the king because like he said he was the first to coin the phrase. not disrespect to any of the greats, and he gives respect to scarface, ugk, outkast and the other southern pioneers but none of them said it. he was the first to blatently say it so it is his. also, he does things in the south. hurricane katrina, he was there helping giving time, money, and shelter. he just didn't send money (jay-z). all in all i don't like most of his music except the first album (classic). he has the swag and charisma to make such a statement and back it up so there is no need to question his statement. if he wants to be it, so be it. he ain't hurting anyone with that statement. we all know who the king is anyway (Andre' 3000!!!).

3 staxx is the real KING. He just to humble to say it... But we all know it...

THIS ISN'T MOTHERFUCKIN ATL DIGI, PUT UP SOME INFO ON TRAE'S ALBUM OR SOMETHING...MANNNN YOU WHACK AS HELL. CHANGE THIS BACK TO THE HOUSTON BLOG SO WE CAN WEED OUT THESE WHACK ASS RECYCLED BLOGS

8BALL AND MJG, MYSTIKAL!!

ti could be king of the south cause he really dont have any competition down their except a few

and this ti vs t.i.p is the wackest shit he ever wrote and thats comming from a pearsn that always supported him dont get me wrong he got a few bangers on their but the album is brorring

i exspected more from ti and he had the nerve to put this album up against classics like ready to die reasonable doubt all eyes on me he had the nerve to say that this bullshit is the best hiphop album in years like busta shit wasent nice like nas shit wasent nice like jay jeezy the roots shit wasent nice

how he gone say he sold more in 06 and he was the only one to go plat when jay sold 2mill jeezy sold 1.4 luda sold 1.5 rick ros rent plat joc went plat even biggie duets went plat how he gone act like lil wayne aint killing these mix tapes nigga fab album is way hotter ti fall back you cool but dont feel yo self you probaly better then alot of niggaz n yo region but you cant even fuck with the underground niggaz up north

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You silly Digipimp. You speakin on iTunes dedicating a day to the man, when your own employer is just as bad. You know they told you to post up about T.I. today...stop frontin. Your big twin brother Gyant already let that cat out the bag...that SOHH.COM tells ya'll what to blog about.

So lets address that....were you told to post up about T.I. today? Don't be "Gyant" about it...keep it real.

We gonna deal with your motive for posting this before we allow you to bait us into a hating blog. We are onto ya'lls tricks, and we ain't zombies.

So speak on it...were you coached to blog about T.I. today? Keep it "opposite of Gyant", aka REAL.

WELL I CAN CARE LESS FOR TI. BUT SINCE YOUR ON THE TOPIC OF WHY IS HE KING, AND YOU PLACED ONE OF THE MOST CLASSIC DIRTY SOUTH SONGS "DIAMONDS AND WOOD" FOR A LISTEN.. I WILL JUST SAY PIMP C ANSWERS THE QUESTION OF WHY IS T.I. THE KING..ON THE KING ALBUM SO MAYBE YALL WANNA GO HEAR WHAT THE PIMP HAD TO SAY ONE MORE TIME

dude why are you hating????? what do you mean what did he do to deserve this. have you heard in the streets part 1 2 and 3??? dude been on his grind in the A since the late 90s. all you see is the TI of today but you aint never heard the TI before the grind. please believe he deserves it with all the grind he has put in. you must be from texas cause that seems to be the only people you give credit to on here. not to hate on texas ( i currently reside in the H and love all the texas artist) but you are one sided. like that tum tum post.....come on man. i like those dudes but are they better than TI??? come on now. and to address that lil flip comment...who is he and where is he now? you know flip hasnt been tight for a long while so mentioning him does nothing for your point! i know many dudes down in the H who went to school wit him among other things and lets just say his lyrics dont live up to his actual life

OMG, people are still on this. The man just coined a term. Stop taking nonsense so literally. The respects all of the greats.

"Now what these other rappers talking I don't believe that shit. I'm the King cuz I said and I mean that shit."

Damn its no different than people talking about how great they are. Let this "issue" go please!

lol!!! tHIS IS FUNNY!!! I never thought T.I was King of tha south!!! And i always thought he would get check 4 that!!! bc it sounds corny alil!!! Especially when u give ur self that name and nobody else gave it 2 u!!! He made people say it and even think about it bc he says it so much!!!! im an up-top nigga and i always thought FAce was tha king of tha south!!! I heard, learn and always thought he was tha Jay-Z of tha south!!! But i think south niggas more laid back about shit bc niggaz aint sweatin that shit!!! If u ever heard tha leak or this gangsta grill album he did b4 Urban legend cam e out and he was beefin wit Flip he was talkin 2 scarface on his album on tha chrip and Face was tellin him he aint worry about all tha King shit bc he out here tryin 2 get money and he and tah people already kno what it is!!! tha convo sounded like a BG talkin 2 An OG!!! Like dude i aint worry about all that king shit!!! Like dude u can have that shit!! Its nuthin!!! U even had Pimp C talk about tha shit on his KING album!!! Pimp was basically sayin tha same thing!!! The real niggas wont give them self a name when it really aint givin 2 them and deserve bc when T.I was first comin out wit that king shit he really wasnt nobody 4 real!!! Dude had one real good SUCCESFUL album (im not sayin it was good but succesful!!) And dude head bigger than Cali!!! lol!!!... but dude is nice and gets respect but king of tha south? Wayne is a better candaite 2 me on some real g shit!!!! But face and Ugk, and screw got 2 have tha tittle!!! But they dont care bc they now what it is!!!!! These lil young wipper snappers got they whole flow and swag from them thats y they fall baack!!!! ex. Jay-Z & Lil wayne and all these other rappers (south, midwest, or west coast!!) go they swag & flow from!!!!

Digi you posted this garbage on purpose. You knew that the Trae album droped today and you go ahead and ask a stupid question about a rapper who is always on another stupid blogg. You are pathetic and a joke. You should be fired and by the way the new Pastor Troy album came out today to. And he is a million times better and harder the t.i. will ever be. Why are you doing this man. Straight bull shit man, your dead wrong. We the people have asked and requested for you to post info on a southern texas artist and you did not do your job. Fuck t.i. and if anyone else who may have heard or have info on Tra's album please post info since this fool in charge should be fired for not doing his job. T.I. A FUCKING JOKE MAN!

MAN FUCK THAT NIGGA T.I. THA REAL KING OF THE SOUTH RIGHT NOW IS Z-RO NO DOUBT. T.I. AINT GOT SHIT ON RO. MATTER A FACT AINT NAN NIGGA IN THA SOUTH GOT SHIT ON RO. LYRICALLY THAT NIGGA IS THA BEST.

YALL NIGGAZ PROLLY GONNA HATE ON ME 4 SAYIN THIS, BUT I REALLY DONT GIVE A FUCK. PLUS TRAE'S ALBUM DROPS ON SEPTEMBER 25TH

yeah but how the fuck does this skinny fuck with the body of a 14-year-old get respect? Dude is so skinny its hilarious and he thinks he can whoop ass. Mna, Ja Rule will probably fuck this dude up in a fight but it'd be funny. two men standing at 5'5" and weighing a combined 244 pounds. Shit better yet, lets see who'd win a fight between the scrony weak Prodigy of Mobb Deep and T.I... dude Prodigy weighs like 136 pounds lol lol.

You doin pretty good Digipimp...you suckin the hate out of folks.

Answer me...I know you remember before you deleted it last week, I told you that you was a SOHH.COM puppet.

Tell us...did they tell you to post up about T.I.? And you decided to bait the hate.

These TX folks would've preferred a blog about the Trae release.

Why you post up bout T.I.?

-M.

Outkast, Goodie Mob, Scarface, UGK, Eightball & MJG are the Kings of the South. They made the south. None of these so called "Kings" have put out Classic records. TI comes close with Trap Muzik, but it is not a full classic. Now this list is gonna get me dissed, but here is my list of Southern Classics from 1-10

1. Outkast-ATLiens
2. UGK- Riding Dirty
3. DJ Screw- The Legend
4. Eightball & MJG- Coming Out Hard
5. Outkast- Southernplayalysticadillacmuzik
6. Goodie MOB-Soul Food
7. Scarface- The Diary(Yes it was a classic. NYC went into a frenzy nigga)
8. Eightball & MJG-In Our Lifetime(Go back and blow the dust off that CD and listen to that shit. You will reminisce like a bitch on that album.
9.Outkast-Aquemini(That shit was some good ass music nigga!)
10-Scarface-Untouchable(With Southside, was unconditionally a classic)

I would'nt say King but the new album is nice ... Last song on T.I vs T.I.P #18 "My Type" is blazin....

Thanks David, they should give you this blogg to run since this fool digisimp don't know shit. Fuck t.i. and fuck you "simp". Any reason why the album got pushed back? Im pissed, was realling looking foward to actually purchasing an album for once. Fuck it I will by Pastor Troy's new album, fuck t.i. the king of skinny bithces. Digi you and Gyant and t.i. should get together and have an orgy since all 3 or you are connected to the nuts daily, fuck this site!

his album really drops on the 25th

Sounds like a lil bit of hate goin on. Don't knock a man cause he is on top of the game right now. I think people take the whole king of the south thing too seriously, when the truth is there are many legends, kings, dons (whatever you want to call them) down south. T.I. is an entertainer, and part of his show is talkin sh!t. Much like Ali calling himself the greatest of all time (wether he is or not is debateable). Whats not debateable is the fact that T.I. is the hottest rapper in the game right now from any region period. And it's because he is makin the hottest music right now. Hip Hop gets the crab in the barrel syndrome sometimes -- when someone becomes extremely successful we start to hold their success against them...but don't we all want to be successful at what we do?

Check out the next legends/kings from downsouth --- B.O.C.

www.myspace.com/boc1010

T.I is good but lets not forget about Lil wayne and T.I winning the best hip-hop artist over lil wayne was bullshit.T.I can be the king of the south but he is still not the best rapper alive cuz that belongs to Lil wayne.T.i is the king of the south but lil wayne is like god to the south

I dont know why it got pushed back I was really looking foward to it too. I also heard that UGK'S album got pushed back too

Are you clowns reading your shit before you post. Face is the king. 3 Stacks is the King, Bun-B is the king, shit Cham is better lyrically then t.i. and or Wayne. stupid young kids dont know shit, 8 ball is king, MJG is king even Big Boi is better, shit even Luda is betyter cmon fuckers get your minds right JESUS

i think he is king of the south, also their other rappers king of the south that been in the game before him but i must say that nigga a beast,real niggas recognized real and fuck that's that nigga much love to that nigga keep doing your thing pimpin

also HAWKS New album will chopped by michael watts

THAT NIGGA AINT NO KING OF THE SOUTH AND HE SAY THAT SHIT ALL HE WANNA BUT IT AINT TRUE IF YOU WANNA BE THE KING OF THE SOUTH YOU GOTTA BE FROM MUFUCCIN TEXAS. CUZZ THATz WHERE ALL THE GANSTA/TRAP SOUTHERN RAP MUZICC CAME FROM. WHEN WE WAS ON THAT G-SHIT ATL WAS ON THAT BOOTY SHAKE SHIT JUST LIKE MIAMI.

David please and I stress please tell me that UGK news is a joke. We have been waitng 7 years for this album. Nooooooooooooooooo!

luda da king hands down...him and t.i. should jump on a track 2gether an not dissing each other....t.i. says he sold the most in o6 when he sold 1.6 and luda sold 1.8

No T I IS NOT THE KING, HE HAS NOT EVEN CAME CLOSE TO MOVING UNITS TO LUDA. HIS LAST ALBUM ONLY DID 1.7 WORLD WIDE. ALL OF LUDA ALBUM DID THAT PLUS MORE, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW LUDA ALBUM IS 1.5 WORLDWIDE. SO NO.

I'M THE KING OF THE SOUTH MUTHAFUCKAS!

NIGGA PLEASE TI DID NOT MURDER LIL FLIP, LIL FLIP HAD RECORD LABEL PROBLEMS FOOL. JUST WAIT ATLANTIC IS NOT MAKING NUMBERS LIKE DEF JAM OR INTERSCOPE, SO TI WILL BE LOOKING FOR A NEW LABEL SOON. ALSO LIL FLIP WILL OUT FLOW TI ANYDAY. I GOT $$$$$MONEY ON FLIP TO MURDER FREESTLYE T.I TO DEATH. THAT WHY TI GOT BOMB ON MY LIL FLIP WHEN HE TRIED TO ROLL THREW CLOVER LAND

T.I. IS NOT THE KING OF THE SOUTH, HE MIGHT BE THE KING OF 3RD & SPRING STREET IN ATL BUT NOT THE SOUTH.

FUCK THE SOUTH FOR LETTING T.I. GET A PASS FOR SAYING HE'S THE KING OF THE SOUTH, BUT YALL WILL TURN AROUND AND GET MAD AT JAY-Z & NAS FOR SAYING HIP HOP IS DEAD.

T.I. CALLING HIMSELF KING OF THE SOUTH IS A REASON WHY HIP HOP IS DEAD. THERE IS PROBABLY A MILLION NIGGAS IN THE SOUTH THAT IS BETTER THAN T.I

LIST OF RAPPERS IN THE SOUTH BETTER THAN T.I.

LUDACRIS
CEE-LO
BIG BOI
KILLER MIKE
BUN B
Z-RO
CHAM
ANDRE 3000
LITTLE BROTHER
MYSTICAL
8 BALL
LIL WAYNE
YOUNG BUCK

PUTTING THE "T" AND "I" BACK INTO "BITCH"

No but he got enough buzz to plaster Itunes with his face and have you write a whole blog about him.

i have just 1 question if anyone can answer it??? Who is this T.I. fella or rapper that you speak of ??? NEXT TOPIC!!

untaleented Bloggers need to use the name of T.I> to show and prove...Repost this Blog saying UGK are the kings and see how many hit u get than...The man ask for permission to call hisself King before he got in the game from the ones who did it before him...He Doing real big right Now...AND FLIP IS THE WORST?!?! Backing flip got the last dude fired...

U get the Boozack for this blog...No origianally, lack of substance...

SOHH DIRTY....NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!

First off, like it or not, down south rap is like the eastern conference in the NBA. Its not as good as up north. period. However, TI is king because he said it. I've listened to all of TI's albums and he's been sayin it(evrybody praises Im Serious but Trap Musik is a classic). He's adressed this topic on almost every album, and it boils down to...I came up with it, I am it. Like he said, he started the new era dope boy rpper, wasnt the first, but look whats happened to the game since '24's'

TI being the king on the south is just as laughable as King Booker on WWE!!!!! LOL at this nigga TI giving himself a title and people following along!!!!

T.I.s first album was not classic...that regae shit was garbage and his flow was so off point and the beats he used were horrible and it was just nothing appealing

SOHH loses mad props as journalist for having a fucking TI week. Ya'll are just writing whatever the sponsors and record companies are paying you to write. This is worst than payola. Pretending to be unbais but in reality ya'll are just ho's for the cash.

I personally don't think T.I. is the "King of the South". If u are a hip-hop dude, u know Scarface is the King of the South. But, when T.I. first came out, he called himself that. Now, if anyone took offense, niggaz would have said something. But, at the same time, people probably didn't think he would blow like he did. He respects the greats like Face, UGK, Outkast, so I ain't mad at him. What I am worried about is these people who don't know anything about the history of down south hip-hop, and really think T.I. is the King of the South. It's a shame in rap that legends don't hold the same type of respect as legends in rock-n-roll. It's like hip-hop is too generational. Now, I'm an East Coast dude, but I respect South artist because they do they best to let the world know who influenced them. They still help make legends relevant. East Coast (well NY) rappers are too about themselves. Like, a true hip-hop fan knows that Jay-Z was inspired by Big Daddy Kane. But, Hov doesn't let the world know that. To this day, people who love Hov, don't know who Big Daddy Kane is. To me, that's a shame. And that's because niggaz is selfish on the East Coast. As for the current generation of down south rappers, the combination of everything does make T.I. the King of the South right now. He's not as nice as Ludacris, but he makes music that is more in-tune with what's really going on in black America. Ludacris is nice, but he is too commercial. I have never been able to listen to a whole Ludacris album. Wayne, he spits. Maybe u can say he's nicer than T.I. also. But, Wayne is a fraud. T.I. makes the south look good. Wayne doesn't have his own identity in my opinion. He came out one way, then he studied Hov and took his whole style. He talks gangsta shit, but everyone knows that it's not reality, and it was never reality for this nigga. He's been rappin since he was a little kid. When did he have time to be in streets and hold hammers as he claims in his raps. Mainstream America may think that the South loves Lil Wayne, but for as many people that do, there are just the same that don't. T.I. embodies everything a hip-hop artist is. He flows sick, he makes quality music (most of the time), and what he raps about his life. For now, he is the King of the South.

AS far as I tunes being on T.I's jock its strictly business!!! They make money off poeple buying his shit!!! at the same time they promote his new album that will probably make them more money!!! if ur talking credibility I tunes aint ur anwser!!!!! They dont give a fuck whos king. They just trying to get paid off whoever is hot!!!!I give props to T.I though cuz hes getting paid right now!!!!!
King of the South.........OUTKAST MOTHAFUCKAS

yes he's the king if he dont believe it no one else will. you know all this hating and for what cause a young cocky nigga getting his shine on man stop all the bs cause the boy got his game together and anit nobody touching the man after a few weeks will see if he still the king but with all this hatin i dont see how.

I THINK ANDRE 3000 IS THA KING OF THE SOUTH LYRICALLY NO ONE CAN TOUCH THA BOY.

THAT VIDEO WIT OUTKAST AND UGK IS THA SHIT BEEN WAIT MY WHOLE LIFE TA SEE DEM DO IT CLASSIC.

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC

Oh and prepare yourself. Yes, I was told I have to do another T.I. post for Monday…apparently its T.I. day on Monday. Hey, I aint the boss so I don’t make the rules. I just wanted to warn you all.

Talk to y’all lata,

-------------------------------------

Digipimp...is what I was saying last week true? Are you hand fed your topics by SOHH.COM?

Tell the people why you put T.I. up and are taking the opportunity to spread the hate?

Speak on it.

Ya'll need to bring Ron Mexico back. At least he would defend his position and have valid points to speak on.

mystikal,8-ball n mjg,z-ro,scareface,goodie mobb,three 6 mafia,dj screw,outkast,ugk,.....these r the ppl who made the south!!these dudes r all kings off the south...t.i is no where near the king of the south...and any 1 whos been dwn with the south since the begining know this shit!!dont get me wrong i like t i muzic its alright...but come on plz he is not the king of the souf...just my opinion.......peace up....p.s cant wait 4 that new trae album

hell nah TI aint the king of the south, his ass is DEFINATELY feelin himself too much lately, this motherfcukers 15 minutes will come to an end soon enough especially with such a shitty new album. lil scrawny motherfucker

I would say that TI is the King of the South at the moment, and Imma tell you why... Cause noone stays King forever. It's like... Being President. You runnin shyt while you on top, but... Eventually your time is up, or you get dethroned, and it's time for the new guy to hold the title. Now TI did have the best selling hiphop album in 2006, so... That should hold some weight. That's because Jay-Z dropped at the end of 2006, and 50 Cent and Eminem did not put out an album in 2006. But... In my opinion, there has been a bunch of King's of their time. You got Scarface, then UGK. You got Outkast... Master P held it for a while. Then onto this new generation of Ludacris and TI. Luda was King for a minute, but I gotta give it to TI at the moment. Lil Wayne is nice, but... I don't know too many people admitting to him being a good representation of the south. He represents from a lyrical standpoint, but... Nobody really believes him, so... That takes away from his story. He could just be himself, and he could be runnin shyt!!! Nah... He wanna be a dope-boy, and a brand new member of Bloods. But anyway... TI, the King of the South for 2006. Time will tell on 2007, but I venture to say that it won't be TI. And... Cee-Lo and MAC are the nicest MC's from the south IMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What makes T.I. the "KING"?

SALES.

I got a news flash for ya'll:
The music industry cares about SALES. Not about props, respect, or legend status in the streets. All that stuff means nothing to a CEO. It's about how many until can you move for them. T.I. is a bankable artist, therefore, KING STATUS.

1. Outkast-ATLiens
2. UGK- Riding Dirty
3. DJ Screw- The Legend
4. Eightball & MJG- Coming Out Hard
5. Outkast- Southernplayalysticadillacmuzik
6. Goodie MOB-Soul Food
7. Scarface- The Diary(Yes it was a classic. NYC went into a frenzy nigga)
8. Eightball & MJG-In Our Lifetime(Go back and blow the dust off that CD and listen to that shit. You will reminisce like a bitch on that album.
9.Outkast-Aquemini(That shit was some good ass music nigga!)
10-Scarface-Untouchable(With Southside, was unconditionally a classic)

what about Jeezy's 'Thug Motivation 101'. That's a m'phukin classic.

I don't live in Atlanta so I really can't say, but is T.I. even King of his own city? Please be honest with yourselves in answering that question.

In my opinion its really difficult to crown a "King of the South" it's like Nigg@s in New York 'arguing about who's the best MC; Biggie, Jay-Z, or Nas'.

Hearing Mr. Clifford Harris (T.I.) refer to himself as King reminds me of a quote from ABC's mini-series Empire from last summer; "Beacause you call YOURSELF Caesar does not make it so."

Calling yourself "King"; Thats like being a 'Pimp in your OWN mind'.

I think alot of fans have forgotten that the title of King of anywhere belongs to us!!!! If we don't think homeboy is really King let's take our title back and bestow it to an MC or MC's (UGK) that deserve it.

Thanks for reading.

LOL @ PZ. Dude is speaking the truth! SOHH staffers were told to blog about T.I. I know your doing your job (or are trying to keep it) but don't hate on itunes (apple) for doing something that you yourself are guilty of.

TI is the King...of shooting a video with a cold sore on his lip!!!!!Yall saw it too, but didn't nobody say shit!

YEA HE DA KING

@ G.I.

There isn't really a clear King of the A different sets are into different stuff:

Right now here in The A, The street hustler/grindin' cats are still bumpin' Jeezy.

Snap music is hot in the clubs and in the car stereos, But the new T.I. is gonna be a monster across the board.

Jesus Christ is the King of Kings!

Being a self proclaimed "King" is always a dangerous thing.

Besides, 24 inches is a very LOW THRONE.

CHRIST BLESS!
PZ

Yeah , he ain't the king of shit. I think Z-Ro is , He got some classic albums , at least 7 of them

TI coney man look at da facts.

1.Dude got stole by Flip and instead of buckin him, he start bussin at da clouds and God...

2.Tip was in Da Nati talkin boss and got his man merked. He was on Channel 9 talkin to da feds in the police car downtown.

3.Tip talked crazy bout Miami and Ross and now they doin songs.

4.The man made a song sayin "Im talkin to u" and aint said NO NAMES!!!

5.He on big shit poppin sayin he make it rain in Cincinnati but skipped da concert when Fat Joe, Ross Jeezy an Wayne came out here!!!

He CANT come back yal he phoney dont believe nonna his mess!

DAT NIGGA ONLY WEIGH 115lbs WET!!!!
KING MY ASS!
CAN ANYONE NAME THAT VIDEO WHEN HE HAD THAT SHIT ON HIS LIP. I THINK YUNG DRO WAS IN IT.

ti aint no damn king of the south hell nah who lied to him and who ever believes that he is the king of the south who lied to yall


ti king of the south what?????????????? hahahahahahahahahah that some funny shit

Neither TI or Lil Wayne are wack but there are far better MCs on the East Coast, No hate just truth...The East coast sets the standard for MCs and we all know it...

How in the hell can Lil Wayne be the best rapper alive?(phrase stolen from Jayz) Eminem, Cassidy, Jadakiss, Talib Kweli, Jayz, Nas, Fabulous and Common are all better than him?
Jadakiss and Cassidy ARE MUCH BETTER than this nigga...Anybody who disagrees is tripping.

I'm just gone say yall need to stop hatin. T.I. is the king right now because aint nobody fuckin with that boy right now. And what's wrong that man head gettin big, he just enjoying his time in the in spot light. And yeah he proclaimed hisself king, but he must not be the only one who thinks he's the man because numbers don't lie. But on some real shit, who fuckin with t.i. right now?

FUCK LIL WAYNE TOO.WHEN THAT NIGGA RAP IT SOUND LIKE HE BE CHEWIN ON SUN FLOWER SEEDS!!!

Yo, Digipimp, you sound like a hater to me cuz. Are you mad cause T.I. gets more bitches and money than you or something? Let that man have his time, I mean it ain't like this album will be hot forever.

@ Black Friday:

The only reason the East "set the Standard" is because they controlled all the hip-hop media and wouldn't let any outsiders in. Now that every region has their own media, nobody cares about NY media anymore. I'm loving that.

Plus a lot of NY music sounds shitty to other places.

NIGGA PLEASE TI DID NOT MURDER LIL FLIP, LIL FLIP HAD RECORD LABEL PROBLEMS FOOL. JUST WAIT ATLANTIC IS NOT MAKING NUMBERS LIKE DEF JAM OR INTERSCOPE, SO TI WILL BE LOOKING FOR A NEW LABEL SOON. ALSO LIL FLIP WILL OUT FLOW TI ANYDAY. I GOT $$$$$MONEY ON FLIP TO MURDER FREESTLYE T.I TO DEATH. THAT WHY TI GOT BOMB ON MY LIL FLIP WHEN HE TRIED TO ROLL THREW CLOVER LAND

KONEECHIWA D/L TEXAS FAGS! LMFAO!

I've never been a big TI fan apart from that KING album last year. That was good versatile album....but no classic.

I think its a bit cheeky of him to consider TI VS TIP da best album in years, and to put it on the same wavelength as reasonable doubt is a joke.

Is his new album gonna change the rap game like PAID in FULL or ILLMATIC?

Answer: No

Is he gonna show us some unique rhyme style with some fresh subject matter.

Answer: No

How can he say he has the best album in years? gee let me think of some hot albums in the last few years urmmmmm Hip Hop is dead, Minstrel show, fishscale, geto boyz last LP, the b. coming..... List could go on. This just highlights how oblivious TI and a large part of the south in general to what is really good music.

TI ya not as good as u think. hats off to u 4 making ya money, but u aint no rapper that people will talk about changing the game.

TI U WILL BE A LEGEND ON ITUNES NOT IN THE RAP GAME.

T.I CAN'T RAP FOR SHIT
BUT HE IS SEXY(no homo)
HE HAS THE LOOKS AND HE IS ALSO GOOD FRIENDS WIT DIDDY AND JAY AND ALL THE RICH GUYS IN HIPHOP
AND ALSO HE IS LIGHT SKIN SO NATURALLY HE GETS ACEPPETED BY THE WHITE MEDIA MORE
TO ME OUTKAST,UGK,OR WEEZY AND BABY ARE THE KINGS OF THE SOUTH BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WIT T.I CUZ HE LOOKS GOOD(no homo)

ti the king of the south i want entertain that maybe in atlanta. but niggaz in texas and lousiana know who the real representers of the gangsta rap south and it aint him 4sho

Is T.I. the King of the South. Well for lack of any other rapper explicitly disputing it . . . yeah. When LL Cool J proclaimed to be the GOAT no one really challenged him because he was truly battle tested. But it's little unfair to compare T.I. to LL.

True enough there were many who have come before him and he is relatively young in the game compared to his predecessors. But he wears his crown well. Don't get it twisted, heavy is the crown that lays on the head of a king. Dude lost a friend over someones messed up perception of marketing. I give him credit, T.I., actually speaks w/ intelligence when the time arises, which is a kingly act. Also, he attempts to reach the common man he once was. I think this is what Pimp C was getting at on the KING LP.

People be a King over yourself. Study what a true benelovent king is supposed to be and get the hate out your heart. Maybe then you might receive some respect that a little man gets because of the size/strength of his character.

All this because a man calls himself the King. That's funny he believes he is a King that's why he is hot. It's all about attitude and swagger if you ain't got then u ain't got it. TI was callin himself the King of the South when no one outside Atlanta new who the hell he was and there wasn't a big fuss about it. Now that he's hot people talking about who the hell he think he is.... If he was runnin around calling himself a bum no one give a flyin F... He's the King cause he said so!! Plain and simple. Take it for what it's worth. Nothin!!!

I WON'T STOP HATING UNTIL ONE OF YOU STICK A DICK IN MY MOUTH

You guys are too easy. No one here has told me what I have to write or don't write, maybe the others get told but I don't. I already get money so I don't have to do this for the money, it's pocket change.

Trae's album is pushed back, maybe you need to stay off your moms computer or figure out how to use that shit so that you can find out the real news.

And as far as T.I. I could care less about him, but if you haven't noticed a pattern I talk about what's coming out and releasing and pose questions to make you speak and it works.

Digiwhatever you stink they need to get Rez back at least he covered texas shit all the time but either way people will complain and not be happy with whoever is writing. Not a fan of TI Flip is my guy forget all you haters

Hell no he's not.

if you have to make a statement like that then that tells me your broke

Real talk

And the only reason you have so many comments today is becasue that faggot over there on the ATL blog won't let us comment so we decided to come to your bitch ass blog

Ain't none of these motherfuckers kings or queens of anything.The notion has become a gimmick unto itself.Now you have some of the worst claiming the crown where thier from and its just pathetic.Your just rappers.nothing else.

you haven't noticed a pattern I talk about what's coming out and releasing and pose questions to make you speak and it works.

Posted by: DigiPimp at July 3, 2007 3:12 PM
--------------------------------

Yeah Digi.. we notice A pattern, that's the point, that's EXACTLY the point.

HELLL NOOOOOOOOOOOO..
lUDACRIS IS THE BEST IN THE SOUTH 1 AND ONLY KING

What makes T.I. King?

1. Did he put Atlanta on the Map? No!
2. Is he the highest selling artist
from Atlanta? No!
3. Did he when his battle with Luda? No!

While he did bring that trap stuff to the rap game, he is living of the spoils of people like Outkast, Goodie Mob, UGK, etc. Try going platinum when it isn't popular to be from the South (Atlanta) and then you might have some validity to your claim.

NOOO.... TRAE'S ALBUM GOT PUSHED BACK...WTF


TI THE KING??? NOT IN MY BOOK...

T.I. is more like the Queen of the South, but Jacki-o and Trina sharing that and I don't think they want to add any one else to the throne. Their are southern rappers that are lyrically way better then T.I. look lil wayne, OutKast, Ludacris, UGK, and many other acts.

T.I. don got the big head this lil nigga bout 3 ft. 2 who supposed to be scared we carry guns bigger then him.

and his music all sound the same.

T.I. IS NOT THE KING. Any rapper that has to go ask another rapper would they be upset if i called myself the king is not a king. All respected "kings" were appointed by the people. I can name at least 7 other rappers in the south that are nicer than t.i.p.,and he really ain't holding a candle to weezy f. baby, lyrically. He makes good music, but king, naw.

Honestly I think TI did exactly what Jay-Z did he kept telling people that he was great until people started paying attention ( I'm not saying TI is great)but it worked for TI. Lil Wayne is probably gonna end up being the GOAT down here but for now the King is UGK and Outkast. The reason why I say weezy is longevity and he's obviously entering his prime and the best of him is yet to come.

The only reason TI is anything is because Jay Z had his back from the start. Jay z is wack for saying TI is a good MC. Fuck em both like pac said. Dont support these clowns.

With all respect T.I. is tight but Lyrically he ain't fuck'n with dem boi's like Lil Wayne, Andre 3000, Big Boi, Z-Ro, Chamillionaire, Bohagen, Scarface, just to name a few. He just got better promotion backing him to sell, getting his name out there to the east and west and north east unlike these other cats. He still ain't sold anything on the level as Outkast or that 400 Degrees by Juve. He ain't the king, he can't come off top and yes he did get murder'd by Flip in the beef and "Stomped" by Luda..Lol..

A SKINNY B!TCH OF A H0E CALLING HIMSELF A KING AINT ORIGINAL.. WHO WERE KINGS BEFORE HIM?? UNDERGROUND KINGS FOR ONE... THEN HE WENT WITH THE KING OF THE SOUTH, BECAUSE THE B!TCH AZZ T.I.P.DRILL WAS CATCHING FEELINGS ABOUT FLIP GATES CALLING HIMSELF A KING.. DUDES WERE CALLING THEMSELVES KINGS AS NICKNAMES WAY BEFORE T.I.P.DRILL "COINED" IT... WHICH HE DIDNT BECAUSE HE JUST STOLE THE KING IDEA..... AND HOW ORIGINAL FOR T.I.P.DRILL TO SAY HE IS THE ULTIMATE KING... YEA... HOW ORIGINAL... LOL .. THEN HE ASKES HIS FRIENDS IF IT IS OK TO USE THAT NAME.... HE IS NOT THE KING OF THE SOUTH...

PIMP C MIGHT HAVE SAID ITS OK FOR T.I.P.DRILL TO SAY WHAT HE WANTS.. PIMP C NEVER CAME OUT AND SAID T.I.P.DRILL IS THE KING OF THE SOUTH..\

PIMP C CAME OUT AND SAID LIL FLIPS MAN, DJ SCREW IS THE KING OF THE SOUTH..

SO F- ALL THIS TALK..
HIS ALBUM IS WEAK..

Holy shit...I know that nigga Gyant..He's from Lakewood NJ and he gay as all hell...We used to pick on that nigga and throw shit at him on the way home from school...What the fuck is he doing writing for Atlanta? The nigga name is THIRSTEN!!! What up you punk ass nigga! remeber me? We used beat your ass at the towers. Chase you through the fire station parking lot...You and Drayton...Remember that shit nigga?

(DJ SCREW)
ROBERT DAVIS THE KING OF THE SOUTH, ANYTHING ELSE SAID, NEEDS TO SHUT THEIR FUCKING MOUTH

PIMP C..

SO ALL YOU H0ES TRYING TO HIDE BEHIND SCARFACE AND UGK TO PRAISE T.I.P.DRILL AND DOWN FLIP..
THE ENTIRE RAP A LOT FAMILY ROLLS WITH LIL FLIP

People use KING OF THE SOUTH to loosely, there arent really that many people who can lay claim to KING OF HTE SOUTH status, the ones who are true KINGS OF THE SOUTH dont need recognition because they already know what they do is etched in stone, so for all you who has a name for KING OF THE SOUTH, check your history...give respect UGK, FACE, BALL & G, OUTKAST, just to name some

this should be in the atlanta blog fool
neways t.i. isnt the king of shit

t.i.'s good and all, but i rather listen to a dirty boyz cd

to be honest i hope his album flops nigga got the big head for real and his album sucks ass he has alway been over rated and that king shit is bull i dont know who it is but it damn show aint him the only reason he sells is cause of who he is and cause people know hit check out albumbase.com i had ti last monday and im glad i did not waist my ten dollars on that shit he is just ridding that king shit to help him sell but king he is not

TI CD SUCKS I EXPECTED ALOT BETTER FROM HIM AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO USE TO BE A BIG FAN OF HIS BUT DAMN THE ONLY RECORDS ON TI VS TIP THATS GOOD IS THE 1ST 3 ONES HE PUT OUT AND JUST B/C HE SAYS DA KING OF DA SOUTH DONT MEAN SHIT ALOT OF PPL HERE IN THE SOUTH AINT FIGHTING FOR DAT SHIT LIKE DEY DO UP NORHT BUT I BET OF MORE PPL DID ALOT OF PPL WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION ON WHOSE REALLY KING OF THE SOUTH ANDTI AINT SORRY 4 ALL YOU TI FANS NOW!!!

what the hell are all of yall talkin about, lil flip and young buck they both Fuckin suck, they aint better than T.I. you dumbass mother fuckers. yall sitting here bitchin and shit like a bunch of fucking girls an shit, who gives a fuck what the hell he be sayin, point blank, the dude is rollin in dough and thats all there is to it, all you dumbass bitches are sitting here cryin and shit cause of what he said, fuck it the dude is making cake, so shut the fuck up and kick rocks you stupid bitches

Ten Inch Punk is one of the worst cats out right now.

I actually bought his last album after passing on all of his previous work and thought it was solid. Not classic, not bad. I wanted to give him a chance, but now, maaaaaan. I regret contributing to his over-inflated ego.

Number one, his lyrics aren't great by any standards.

Two, his image/look are too staged. When this nigga raps, it looks like he's practiced in the mirror for way too long with the over done hand movements.

Three, what's up with the Richard Petty Nascar of rap look that he's made his trademark? That shit is annoying.

I'd like for this guy to fade into oblivion or "bolivion" as Iron Mike once said, but we all know that he's going nowhere anytime soon. So all we can realisitically hope for is that he takes some time off before he drops the next album.


i aint no hater, so im a say that as far as right now i think that ti is a safe rapper meaning ppl like him only b/c hes not really controversial so that means people dont have alot of reasons to hate him and in ways i think that ludachris is the king or ugk or lil wayne to be honest with you but ti is the only person that says hes the king, and if no one wants to fight for dat or call themselves that hes gonna be that, even though i dont think hes the best rapper out of the south its a whole lot better, hes just getting more attention than others

I think YOUNG BUCK is the KING of the south he best rapper out of the south to come out with a really good album this year so far in my opinion and TI album aint SHIT!!!!

yeah man ti aint really put no work in to claim that spot
1 does he have any classic albums NO
2 does he really spit lyrics Not really
he is a perfect example of media frenzy these days and yes outside of of course them outkast boys knobody can mess with troy lyrically comin outta GA honestly its not d41 and huey thats killin rap its people like ti and wayne who have not been consistent over anything for a period of time claiming to be the best now wayne does pull a nice verse out his ass ery now and then but come on with this king garbage or greatest rapper alive hoopla

o and a good album is not a CLASSIC a classic is illmatic untouchables reasonable doubt infamous predator so on and so on that word classic is gettin thrown around crazy much respect though its good to see young blacks gettin that gwop but chill with the classic talk

lol.......T.I is a fucking Nancy....... fuck that nigga

Yo WHY IS EVERYONE SLEEPING ON CHAMILLIONAIRE? BESIDES ANDRE 3000 HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS LYRICS THAT ARE WORTH HEARING AND THATS NEW. EVERYONE ELSE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME SHIT. MAYBE THATS WHY PEOPLE SAY HIP HOP IS DYING , CUZ ITS THE SAME OLD STUFF, AND IF ITS NOT, ITS TO0 DANM POP!

YO EITHER YOUR GOING TO COME OUT HARD- JEEZY , EIGHTBALL&MJG, THREE 6 MAFIA

OR COME OUT SMART-
LUPE F, CHAMILLIONAIRE,ANDRE 3000

EVERYTHING ELSE IS GARBAGE!

AND AS FAR AS T.I. FOREAL THOUGH, THE DUDE JUST GAVE HIMSELF A NAME TO GET NOTICED AND THATS WHATS HAPPENING HUH!

PEOPLE STOP FALLING INTO GIMMICKS, YOU HAVE A CHOICE, AND YOUR KILLING HIP HOP.

List of Kings that T.I cant touch :

1. Scarface

Yeah, theres that much space between him and the rest,
2.Outkast
3.UGK
4.Ludacris
5.Master P.


List of Southern rappers TI doesn't even come close to :

1.Scarface
2.Outkast
3.Ludacris
4.Weezy (lyrically, TI is in kindergarden)
5.Trick Daddy, yeah, say what you want, but Trick is crazy

6. Half of Atlanta, + etc

Anyway, its just to say he aint really shit, he's overhyped as hell, and if he was from anywhere but Atlanta he'd be RIGHT thurr with MIMS

and you know this, MAAAAAAN

BEHIND EVERY GREAT RAPPER STANDS ABOUT 100,000 HATAZ!!!! DAMN RIGHT T.I. IS THE KING!!!

T.I. HAS SOLD 800,000 COPIES AND THE DAY IS NOT EVEN OVER YET...IN THE WORDS OF JAY-Z, "NUMBERS TALK":)

t.i cool, i aint got a problem wit him calling his self king of the south. but, us real niggas know who the real king of the south is
"scarface"

where u get that from. wat sources? is dat really a fact?

T.I. is the KING

scarface gets way more respect then t.i and thats not just in the south but on all sides

and dont judge it by record sales judge it by talent and it plenty of rappers from the soth wit better lyrical ability then t.i. and i aint hateing on ti hes actually one of my faorite rappers out but lyricly he aint fucking wit luda r koopa

TI sells records because little girlz have a crush on him. His new album is whack I already sold it on ebay after listening to every song. No creativity and his voice is annonying. Bye TI welcome to Flipville AKA barely goin gold. I am just waiting for SEPT 18th Ultimate Victory a breath of fresh air in the rap game. PS and that new UGK will be fiyah.

Musically speaking the album is lackluster and this is no hate it's 2 bad nowadays people focus on everything around making music and dont master the craft who cares about titles let the music be tight(plus Eminem reaaaaaaaaaaaaally sounded like he was not motivated to be on that track at all)

TI is nobody's King of the South... How about Kings of the South being Outkast. Or a King of the South being Scarface.

T.I. :: T.I. vs. T.I.P.
Grand Hustle/Atlantic Records
Author: Steve 'Flash' Juon

"Ay, listen homes, get Atlantic on the phone, go on call 'em
[...] It's way more important what I'm fin' ta say
Hear what I say? I ain't droppin shit 'til twenty twenty-eight
(Who gives a fuck if he comes on the 20th or 28th?)
{He said the year 2028 you fucking moron!}"

And thus begins "T.I. vs. T.I.P." with our erstwhile protagonist contemplating if this rap shit is really worth it any more, all the while confusing the fictional Atlantic Records employees on the other end of the phone with his slang. The first pair of parenthesis was Joe Stuffedshirt not getting it while the last line was his exasperated secretary explaining to him just how clueless he really is. It's quite the provocative way to open a new album when you're dropping one of the summer's most anticipated albums and you're looking for your label to push sales through the roof, but fortunately that's all part of the plan for "T.I. vs. T.I.P." Rather than trying to push buttons at his label (which would certainly not be unprecedented for disgruntled MC's to do) he's trying to illustrate the dichotomy between the artist who would give it all up to live a normal life and the self-described King of Atlanta who balls like no one else.

"Now do it to the maximum, take it while you askin' em
Don't listen to them suckers when they say you too irrational
See, I said it on "King" and them lames started laughin and
Same suckers now want the King on a track with 'em
I composed several classicals, you know like "Top Back"
"Dope Boy", "Bring 'Em Out", and "What You Know About That"
Now they ask how I talk, what you know about that?
Dominated oh-six, now I'm goin right back
See me rain hell, I done showed you like that
Even Denzel say, "Damn, I ain't know it like that"
Nigga yeah, still Bankhead, you can tell
Ain't nuttin changed but the name on the mail
I still kick in do's with them thangs in the air
Up in Benihana's, see me slang in the chair
I will slang 'caine, no such thing as a jail
Say you need a hundred squares? It just came off the scale"

There it is on the first single - the braggadocious cocky man who's got more hits than Pete Rose and isn't afraid to talk about it; the man who seemingly runs a bigger drug cartel than Tony Montana in his prime.

I don't think Atlantic is recouping so hard off Clifford Harris that he has to quit rapping as T.I. and go back to scrapping and hustling. While "T.I. vs. T.I.P." is presented as the balance of opposing forces which you can call the good versus the bad, the man versus the monster or any other cliche you like, the only real opposition here is the other rappers who he's competing with for that number one spot. You've heard a lot from the various rap websites and magazines about all the drama in T.I.'s life but frankly it takes a backseat to the music here. T.I. albums usually feature a half-dozen songs or more that sound like they could be chart-topping singles at any time and "T.I. vs. T.I.P." is no exception. The Wyclef produced (and guest starring) "You Know What it Is" is laced with hypnotic siren sounds and a finger-snapping drum track to keep the dancefloor moving. Just Blaze sets a frentic pace with the string laced "Help is Coming" and T.I. matches by spitting at a speed Twista would be impressed by. Eminem & Jeff Bass help T.I. "Touchdown" and Em even makes a guest appearance on the cut. There's so many choices for singles you could hardly go wrong picking ANY track - even Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes make cameos on the album on "Watch What You Say to Me" and "Hurt" respectively.

For T.I. fans who have long been waiting for the seemingly oft-delayed "T.I. vs. T.I.P." the good news is there's nothing to worry about. While the fictional war between wanting to quit and become a man of peace does battle with the Godless hustler who just wants his by any means necessary, the real life relationship between T.I. and Atlantic Records is sound enough that they were obviously prepared to go big budget and keep "Big Shit Poppin'" for Mr. Harris. It takes two to tango though and if T.I. weren't the charismatic, energetic, hitmaker T.I.P. it wouldn't matter how much of a promotions and marketing budget they laid out for him. Thankfully the Bankhead rapper you know and love ain't change a damn thang and while this album may not blow down the doors to the Rap Hall of Fame as the greatest of all-time it offers a comfortable consistancy that should keep it hot in your Hummer all summer long.

Even the misconception that what they do in hip hop is relavent.....Sorry to inform you...but after UGK...U HAVE NOTHING...AT ALL

It hard to believe a "Emcee" like Trae...Cause he's is considered one... hail from the land of lame gimmick's

Beside trae...every good rapper in Texas is over 40.....How does that make u feel?!?!?


ALL READY..........WACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I get, I get, I get, money!!! LAME!!!!!!!!!

THE whole State of texas...TUm DUm, and CHINGO BLINK and any other new nigga IS wack until proven otherwise...


AND U get a state wide....BOOOOOOOOOACKK!!!!!!!!!!!


I Read on Wikipedia that UGK'S album got pushed back to Aug. 7

TI NO IS NOT THE KING...... WE IN AMERICA WE DON'T HAVE NO DAME KINGS NEVER HAVE.
ALSO AT THE LIL WAYNE HATER YALL REALLY BELIEVE THAT BULL THAT WAYNE STOLE JAY Z I DON'T SEE ANY SIMILARITY BETWEEN JAY Z AND LIL WAYNE NONE LYRICALLY LIL WAYNE IS INSANE WITH HIS FLOW BOTTOM LINE HE CAME FROM HIS DOME WITH HIS SHIT NOT JAY Z'S BUT THAT SHOULD TELL YOU YALL RECOGNIZE HIS TALENT YOU TRY TO MINIMIZE HIS BY SAYING HE STOLE FROM JAY Z HE WAS INFLUENCE MAYBE BUT SOMEBODY INFLUENCE JAY Z LIKE RAKIM ETC...DOES THAT MEAN JAY Z STOLE THEY STYLE SHOULD WE TAKE HIS CREDIT ALSO...IF NOT SHUT UP WITH DUMB SHIT ABOUT LIL WAYNE STEALING SOMEONE STYLE..... ALSO TRUTH BE TOLD JAY Z IS NOT THE COLDEST RAPPER AND ALSO WAYNE IS BETTER THAN HIM BOTTOMLINE BUT ALSO FOR YOU EAST COAST PEOPLE I CAN NAME A GANG OF PEOPLE IN NEW YORK THAT HAS A SICKER FLOW THAN JAY Z EXAMPLE: NAS, JADAKISS, TO ME THESE ARE SOME OF YOUR TOP LYRIST WITH ATTENTION ON THEM AND YALL SLEPT ON THEM AND WANNA GIVE HOV ALL THIS GLORY HE DON'T DESERVE LIKE BIGGIE YEAH I SAID BIGGIE WAS NOT YALL HOTTEST MC NOR IS JAYZ, JIGGA IS THE KING OF MEDIA HYPE BUT BACK TO WAYNE AND TI THE BOTH HOT NO ONE IS A DAMN KING.... THEY JOB TITLE IS ENTERTAINERS SO I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT HOW THEY LIVE THEY LIFE ALL THESE RAPPERS REALLY FRAUDS FROM JAY TO WAYNE TO TI ETC NONE OF THEM ARE OUT HERE LIVING THE LIFE THEY TALK ABOUT THEY SELLING YALL A MOVIE.... BUT I WILL BUY WHO EVER DOES THERE JOB AND THATS TO ENTERTAIN ME THATS ALL... BOTTOMLINE

Biggie said it best............."Ain't No Other Kings in this Rap thing." The King of New York is the king period. TI sayin' he's the king of the south was ah publicity stunt. How can he be the king of anything when LudaCris "destroyed" him on that Young Buck record!

fuck that bitchass fuck nigga saying tip aint king... then who is? not them fuck boys ugk, they ol lame asses... and 2 anyone else think tip aint king...KILL YOURSELF, go to the bathroom put the ugk cd in the boom box then get in the tub and fill it all the way up with water then throw the boom box in the tub with you...

damn.sponsors run SOHH.you 10x worse than xxl magazine.TI was a queen in tha prison

Nigga Please! I see Ludacris laughing his ass off everytime someone says that Tip is the KOS. Lil Wayne can prolly get a belly ache too. T.I. is weak. He's pop. He's fallen way the fuck off! His 15 minutes are over.

I don't think Ludacris is laughing, I think he know he missed his chance to be the man, that's why he gone try to call hisself the boss (Lame). I like luda and everything but luda just aint street enough to be the king. Lil wayne is probably the best lyrical right now but he kissin boys (What the fuck) and he dont have any street credibility. Ti has became a lil commercial but that's where the money at. And we all know that's what it's about "it's a money marathon". That's why you here so many new york rappers complaining right now because they aint gettin no money

HANDS DOWN.. DJ SCREW IS THE KING OF THE SOUTH AND THATS THAT..

da dopeman is the best song of 2007, his flow is bananas. hes the best right now. 500,000 first week

ti vs tip received terrible reviews

No Nigga In houston Likes this nigga, Only Bitches cause they like the way this fagget ass nigga look. hahaha this nigga dont got no respect. fagget ass with his ugly ass bitch that everybody saw on the bet awards

T.I. is over rated. I'm not no hater, but lyrically ti aint all that.He got good beats and hooks. the're just catchy. In my opinion most dudes sound alike. The only rapper that sounds hella good from the south is weezy. weezy needs to be fuckin winning these awards. Not Tip, nor ti by that means. if we gonna talk skillz than be real weezy really the man right now.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! HES NOT THE KING OF THE SOUTH AND NEVER TRULY WILL BE!!!! T.I. IS ALMOST DONE FOR, THIS NIGGA IS NOT GOING TO BE AROUND 3 YEARS FROM NOW (IF THAT!) FUCK HIM AND HIS WEAK ASS CD, HES GOT THE NERVE TO FOLLOW UP A PRETTY STURDY ALBUM WITH THIS GARBAGE ALBUM!!! FUCK THIS BITCHASS, FEATHERWEIGHT, LIGHT SKINNED LIL NIGGA!!! HE SHOULD GO BACK TO ROLLER SKATING WITH OTHER LIL BRATS IN "ATL"!!! HAHAHAHA

i bought the ti vs tip cd. it was ok, but i think king was better. i also copped that new pastor troy which in my opinion blows ti outta the water. go cop that shit for real. pastor troy had a major hand in bringin the A where it is today with no mo play in ga.

UGK are livin legends in da South!!

MRMUSICPRODUCER.COM
"The Most Versatile Producer In The Game"

This is what these east coast niggas want the south to do, beef with each other so that they can try to get back in the spotlight, I love Atlanta music and I love Houston music, shit nigga I just love the south we running it right now sure T.I. has a swoll head about himself, he's arrogant and cocky but isn't that how you are susposed to feel about yourself because if you don't think your the shit then who will, like jeezy and bun b said on "money over here" "nigga i'm the shit and if i aint ya'll let me think what i think", T.I has much respect for the legends of the south from outkast,scarface,ugk to 8ball and mjg and besides that there's really not much else to choose from right now in the music game.

T,I IS NOT THA KING OF THA SOUTH HE CAN BE THE KING OF A.T.L BUT LYRICALLY HE CANT FUCK WIT Z-RO AND THATS ALL I GOTTA SAY ABOUT THAT

These cats from Texas are some haters for real just because this cat ended lil flips career stop hating and it shows that if a nigga is successful niggas gonna hate but when you don't sell no one has anything to say, I don't like southern music but give the boy his props he doing right it now, no one from Texas can lay claim to that.

Andre ain't never made a better song than ASAP,Praying for help or motivation. somebody need to tell him its 2007 not 1979. and them outkast dudes is wierd! anyways u can say that scarface is the king or UGK or Eightball and Mjg! well i bet they won't out sell him and remember he by his self. remember that and no the facts

Ask yoself this, has any of ti's albums gone DIAMOND like Outkast? Not even close

As a matter of fact Outkast is the only group in Hip-hop to go ever go diamond and cant nobody from no where else take that from them so how in the hell can you say they weird, just because 3000 like to stick out in the crowd by the way he dress, have you thought maybe the nigga don't wanna play follow the leader on how he dress that's what makes him so original and another thing have you noticed how they come with a different style on every album and they don't use unwanted songs from one album to make a new one.

Screw 4 sure da king of da south. UGK da princes. Flip USED to be the FREESTYLE king. T.I. USED to be the rubberband man before he went multiple personalities on all of us! Face is and will always be Face. Plain and simple! The one you need to give props to is The King of The Ghetto ZRO, His old shit with Guerilla Maab was fire and he is gotten nothin but better since then. I give my props to TEX cause thats where SCREW music came from. Look how many artist that recognize SCREW as the king cam from nothin and now on top: Flip, Slim Thugger, Paul Wall, Chamillionare, Mike Jones, Mike Watts, Lil Keke, Fat Pat, HAWK, SPM, Chalie Boy, TITE, Tum Tum, Big Tuck, Archie Lee, UGK was down with screw, OG ron c , Zro, Even T.I. will praise SCREW for his talent. T.I. Is gudda 4 sure but not the best by far. Pioneers 2PAC, Bone, maybe biggie, Trick, Too Short, Masta P., Eazy, SCREW. Now those are legends not TIP. At least not yet. and HALF of these are deceased now thats street cred 4 ya.

Now, I ain't no hater, but gotdammit just cuz you say you a king don't make it true. It's a full court of royalty in the South, and Tip ain't on that list. Scarface, Willie D, E.S.G., Lil' Keke, 8-Ball & MJG, Bun B, Pimp C, Hitman Sammy Sam, and of course, our dearly departed: DJ Screw, H.A.W.K., Fat Pat, Mafio, Big Mello, Soulja Slim, and Camoflauge. Them's the cats that really have a claim to the title, and until there's some kind of election, Tip ain't got no claim to no throne.

DigiPimp is a wack ass bitch! stop hating on T.I. u Lame! and Texas don't have the crown, thats in the real south Ga! ATL all day. its so many Kings in the real south not the added south such as Texas iz.
