Did T.I. Really live up to the title "King of the South"?

[Lord Beasley]

luda had 5 consecutive plats AND bodied that nikka on stomp

 

[Mandizi]

Where's that decline you're speaking of, Trouble Man was his best album since King and went gold pretty easily, and he just had a nice feature on the biggest single of the last couple months. He's still a good rapper, and he's still succesful.

Paper Trail >>>>> Trouble Man easily

Paper Trail >>>>> Trouble Man easily

[Street Knowledge]

He was the biggest rapper in the game in 2006

 

[Smitty Belafonte]

Five consecutive platinum albums (Trap Muzik, Urban Legend, KING, T.I. vs. T.I.P., Paper Trail)

One gold album (No Mercy)

One album on its way to being Gold (Trouble Man)

Numerous hit songs

Currently featured on the biggest song of 2013 and is on its way to having the longest run @ #1 in years

^^^ Those are undeniable facts. I don't necessarily consider anyone being "king" of anything to be based on quality. That's not even what the title implies especially since quality is subjective. The fact is there's maybe two other Southern solo artists who have dominated like T.I. Lil' Wayne and Ludacris are the only other contenders in that sense and may even surpass T.I. in that sense.

Good points. I think it was more the lack of competition tho. He wasnt contending with Scarface, Master P, Juvenile, or Eightball, they all have more memorable albums. Ijs.

T.I. does have a classic though... Lets not just rewrite history now...
