What song does TI have that's better that Mafia Music 2?

Knights of the Templar?

Usual Suspects?

TI pen game ain't better than Ross foh
Y'all really need to know that nikka ain't writing his shyt, his 06-08 work tells it all he has ghostwriters behind him. ASAP, What You Know, Motivation, I'm Illy shows that TI is a better emcee and are all better songs than those you listed.

TIP has nothing touching Free Mason

Nothing.
Ross is carried by production, he's not bad lyrically but the production and his lyrics go so hand & hand that it elevates it his lyrics when really he not going off like that. He's not a better emcee and I'm 100% he don't write his shyt not hating just saying shyt don't add up with Ross. If y'all counting mix tapes why not TIPs "Down with the King"

No he isn't. Ross relies more on swagger, stylishness, and his voice. T.I. is clearly better lyrically.

So what's stylish about

Mafia Music 2
Freemason
Tears of Joy
Usual Suspects
Triple Beam Dreams
Knife Fight
Sixteen
Rich Forever (the song)

Wait a minute is this a shock thread? Why hasn't anyone named TIP's best lyrical contributions to the genre


Swagger like us?
24s?

He isn't seeing officer Rick lyrically

:mindblown:

Lyrically, off the top of my head, these 5 songs shyt on anything Ross ever wrote.











Yall are going off the deep end now.

Ross having a better body of work is reasonable. Saying Ross is nicer on the mic is just asinine.

Rubberband Man is better than Mafia Music 2 lyrically?

Motivation is better than Freemason lyrically?

Top Back is better than Devil in a new dress lyrically?

Trap Back Jumping is better than Trippe Beam Dream lyrically?


Ross is on another level as a solo artist and it's why he's still popping as a solo artist

TI is an actor/VH1 reality star now.

urban legend was a solid album when it was released but it has no replay value now, outside of trap muzik king and paper trail cliff doesn't have a strong discography at all.

Boy stop snorting that coke Wayne got mixtapes better than ross albums

Same thing applies here as well

Post 2008 Ross >

Wayne showed signs of life with No ceelings and has consistently shown glimpses here and there.

Kanye > Ross

Ive listened to all of these numerous times and none of those are even better than Mafia Music 2. You free to have your opinion but u are being facetious acting like TI is levels above Ross lyrically, TI ain't that nice dude....

Ross dun went toe to toe with

Kool G Rap
Nas
Jay Z
Raekwon
Andre 3000

Not saying Ross is better than any of those guys but he has held his own on tracks with them.

I'd put TI at a tier slighty below Ross but above Jeezy when it comes to lyrical ability
