In a hypothetical T.I. vs Ross Versuz, I see Ross taking the rounds where he plays "BMF" and "MC Hammer" if and ONLY if T.I. doesn't respond with "What You Know About That" and "You Don't Know Me". Ross's "Hustlin" could be countered with "24's". "Boss" feat. T-Pain could be countered with "Bring Em Out". "Aston Martin Music" vs "Why You Wanna" would be a dope match up, but I got "Aston" in that round.

So does T.I. T.I. was on "Grand Finale" which featured Nas, Jadakiss, Bun B, and Cube. T.I. has a posse cut that features Jay with "Swagger Like Us". T.I. has "Poppin Bottles" featuring Drake and was featured on "Fancy", which is a Drake song.

you said "the only thing" and then proceeded to list a helluva lot of chit.
you didnt even acknowledge the MMG stuff.
and theres other ross albums i would bump before any T.I. albums besides King.

Mixtapes is one aspect of their career is it not. In regard to Ross vs. T.I., Ross has a stronger mixtape catalog, which is why most of them were listed. T.I.'s mixtapes are lacking. His best ones are the early ones (In Da Streetz) and the one where he was going at Flip. The rest are whatever.
Ross's MMG compilations are pretty forgettable in the grand scheme. The first two were good, but outside of "I'm A Boss" and "That Way", none of those songs are impactful. T.I. even has a couple of Grand Hustle tracks he could throw in the ring like "We Still In This" and "Shoulder Lean".
Personal preferences are irrelevant.

Versuz is about hits, right? So Tip got Ross on that probably, though I think it's closer than people think...
fukk Versuz though, if its straight about quality of their entire bodies of work, Ross playing in a different field. Ross is a true GOAT, he had a few hits but for the most part he wasn't a single-making, hit record guy. But his work from 2009 to 2014 is up there near the top, I'm not mincing words, either. This is what Ross dropped over a 5-year run:
•(2009) Deeper Than Rap
•(2010) The Albert Anastasia EP, Teflon Don, Ashes To Ashes
•(2011) Self Made Vol. 1
•(2012) Rich Forever, Self Made Vol. 2, God Forgives I Don't, Black Bar Mitzvah
•(2013) The H, Self Made Vol. 3
•(2014) Mastermind, Hood Billionaire
Now somebody in here said Renzel gotta lot of duds. In this 5-year run, take out all the shyt he did with other people as joint ventures, that's the MMG Self Made records and The H tape with Birdman. That leaves 9 drops Ross dropped solo, out of those 9 the only ones that are weaker are Black Bar Mitzvah and Hood Billionaire. The other 7, bruh....
Ross is massively, massively underrated, and his hot streak is up there with anybody's in terms of quality of music. Maybe not in popularity or height of popular opinion, but the quality of his music stands up to almost any superstar rapper ever.
Ross was signed to what label & who was the president at the time?

the 1st MMG compilation was one of the biggest cultural releases between both artists.
the movement was huge.

No it wasn't. That compilation was not huge. Ross's biggest cultural moments was:
1) The Memorial Day weekend when Albert Anastasia hit the streets and people first heard "BMF" and "MC Hammer"
2) Rich Forever droppin'.
3) When Ross dropped "Hustlin"
For T.I., it was
1) Trap Muzik
2) The moment he released "What You Know About That" leading into King.
3) Him battling Flip and Luda Spring/Summer 2004.

i want my corners
Can mase even beat T.I 
And that's why Jay was on the track. To give it a boost, not because it was such a monumental song.
