In 2003???

I’ll say 04 off the strength of Down With The King.


I like Trap Muzik more Urban Legend.

U could also debate 06 too since that was T.I’s year.


That situation with the guns ruined his momentum.


I still liked T.I vs T.I.P though

I was in high school for I’m serious and Trap Muzik and Urban Legend. Never Scared helped blow him up across the south. Be Easy, 24’s, and RubberBand Man were huge across the south. Then 24’s and RubberBand man caught fire all over the place. By the time Urban Legend came out people were already checking for him. Down with the King helped carry the momentum but Trap Muzik definitely had him all over BET, MTV, and all the urban radio stations. The I’m serious video already played pretty regularly on BET but nobody really knew who he was and why he had a Pharrell beat with a beanie man feature. That Lacs and Prices video would come on sometimes too. Outside of local house parties and strip clubs he wasn’t too much known across the country until Trap Muzik. Then he was truly a household name.

I didn’t hear Ti vs Tip until after Basic Training, but I liked most of it. It maybe would have been received better as a single album with less songs, but same concept.

That’s why it’s not Grammy quality. It was massively successful though. I was caught in the hype when it dropped but it had plenty of faults. Documentary was definitely a Grammy quality album


Both those albums were everywhere when it dropped. Get Rich was super massive. He had his own MTV special because of it. Documentary is the west coast version of Get Rich.

Speakerboxxx sold about the same amount and is one of the highest rated albums of all times in any genre. And of course, speaks to a more diverse audience.




As for In da club vs Lose yourself, that was a closer battle. Can’t even decide. Both 10/10 classics.

I could see it TBH. That tour, the sales, new voting, Luther’s impact. And no one with clout dropping. He very well might. Unless they reword that they new girl Chappell Roan or whatever her name is.

No it didn’t. I explained this and moreover, Fat Joe was talking about best new artist to Evanesccene.

Not sure what the point of this post was.

GRODT might be one of the biggest and hyped rap albums of all time. Quality wise that shyt struggles at times. I remember it most for the good songs it had, and the overall moment that came with it. If there was an impact Grammy award it would have won hands down. I wouldn’t have called it the best, definitely the biggest, but not the best.

What do you mean?

Grodt sold 6 million and Outkast 5.
And its reviews average like 91/100, while frost is 73/100

Damn near every song on the album is classic some still relevant, remixed, beats used in freestyles today

So what are we talking about here :skip:
