I just re listened to Urban Legend by TIP

[spliz]

Hell nah

Not even. ASAP aged way better

That being said, 50 probably win a straight up versus, altho I think TIP catalog is better

I think TIP catalog is overall better too. But nah. How We Do is better than ASAP and aged just as well.

 

[spliz]

You'd have to put Wayne with other Top 10 guys, guys who were both commercial and critical successes, not nikkas this board throw out as Top 10 who didn't have any large scale popular appeal...

So by definition there's only a handful of people you could line with Wayne, period. I dont think he's the greatest ever but I know manu people do, and he has a case, it ain't like he doesn't. He got the skillset, the popularity, the peak, and most importantly over everything, he got the quality of work to match. So all the guys people debate on the highest level, Nas, Jay, Pac, Big, these are the guys you gotta compare to Wayne. And 5-10 others...

The closest guy in the South would be Rozay and I'm very vocal in my belief that Ross is a Top 20 guy. And it ain't population opinion but you can make the case he's the GOAT South rapper. I dont think I'd make that case but I can form it...

Scarface >>>>>>>

You'll never get people to admit 50 Cent was just a pop rap action figure who only did one thing.

Like I said before.
Ghetto Quran >>>>>>>

 

[bordeaux]

great album. bought it the week it came out. i cant stand anything w/ jazzie pha so thats the only track id skip.

i think tip is the better rapper and has more quality material. but curtis has guess whos back and grodt, and for me, both r as good as ti's best album. so id rank ti higher personally but he'd probably struggle in battle b/c of popular opinion.

 

[Big Boss]

somebody tell 50 to call timb and swizz

 

[NoHalfWay]

In what ways lol

How We Do is much more a product of its time than ASAP musically

sure it was a bigger hit but it’s not as raw

 

[NoHalfWay]

I think TIP catalog is overall better too. But nah. How We Do is better than ASAP and aged just as well.

You one of my e-nikkas spliz, I respect yo musical opinion on just about everything

Gotta disagree on this tho. Both classic records but to me How We Do is a clear yet successful mainstream attempt.

ASAP is just raw... like it coulda just been an album cut, it ain’t have to be a single

 

[DetroitEWarren]

Tell me ONE song Fif got that on this level that can fukk with this

50 is a narcissist, his deep street tracks are from a completely different perspective, I enjoy how both did their thing in their primes.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Urban Legend is better than any 50 album. So is Trap Muzik. TI’s discog destroys 50’s. I don’t see how this is that debatable. 50 has one good studio album.

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

Anybody who thinks this Tip could win ain't familiar with 50s discog

 

[4-Rin]

TI's discography shyts on 50's.

TI will take 50 in a versus

 

[swerve]

50 had a machine behind him yet Cliff was the one who was like a gold artist at the time being called The King Of The South on the cover of Vibe over guys who were moving more records. Trap Muzik took forever in a day to go Platinum so let’s not talk about the boost of machines

TI is not some amazing rapper. He never was. He can rap fast He can rap slow but nikkax ain’t running around 20 years after the fact using TI quotes. It’s just not happening. As a rapper him and 50 are in the same bracket but 50 has more wit that plays well for him.

Cliff at his peak was a double platinum artist. Luda was going triple platinum multiple albums but I don’t hear anybody screaming for his respect

I come from the school of...

Platinum/You definitely matter had a song that was ringing off

Double Platinum/The singles from your album really worked and everybody knows your name

Quadruple Platinum & Beyond/A-List nikkaz

Did TI matter? Yes
Did he go Gold first week before? Yes
Was his name as strong as peak 50, Wayne, Snoop or X?

fukk NO

Tip was averaging 27 on a 5th seed. TI held down 2006 but let’s not act like he had a Confessions or Get Rich kind of year.

Never happened in his life. Say what you feel them numbers are them numbers. TI never permeated American culture to the point of omnipotence

I wouldn’t put my life on 5 out of 10 random people across the world knowing who Cliff is

His name never rang bells like Drake, 50 or Wayne so how would that change in a versus battle when they are playing their peak songs?

Co-sign

I remember TI had a good 06 since he was the only one to go play until Jay dropped KC. But TI was never considered a superstar rapper like 50. Y’all really downplaying 50s discog.

Urban Legend NEVER received this much love as this thread suggest.

 

[Homer Simpson]

50 has more iconic songs.

 

[Cool DOC]

I’m with Betha, Cliff gotta defeat Rozay to stand a chance

 

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

Motivation - U Don’t Know Me - ASAP is one of the hardest track runs of all time.

Bar for bar not too many other MCs can match TIP’s charisma & delivery in his prime .

He didn’t accidentally find himself running the game in 06-07.
