I just came in here to cosign everyone who's giving props to The Recession. I did not mess with Jeezy at all until that album, and now it's one of those albums I just put on and play all the way through.

nah homie. youre the one with the explaining to do. where u from, whats ur age and whats your life like.

Agreed with op. Though I will say jeezy is more consistent,but thats because he doesnt take many chances.

jeezy is and was more popular.
if anybody are house ni&&as, its the people who disagree, because they clearly just stay in the house and just go by what they see on tv.
i cant even get in a real debate with people like this.
duke came off as if he was making it seem like tip created the style.
i dont know if thats what he truly meant, but thats how it came off.
when KING dropped he did 550k+ 1st week and that same week he had a #1 movie @ the box office..
who was bigger than TI in 2006? only one who come close is KANYE.. and he didnt drop shyt in 2006 LR was 2005...
sales PROVE he was the biggest trap rapper of the last decade
\
how is JEEZy more popular? TI has MULTIPLE MULTI-PLAT ALBUMS
i just peeped how you tried to change your argument on the slick.
you said that when jeezy & ross came out, tip was on top. they came out before KING.
you said jeezy was bigger every year but 06 i proved he didnt now your avoiding the question...\
..
im 25.. i KNOW who was on top when
no you dont.
youre just number-crunching.
jeezy was never big as clifford was in 05-06 when king dropped. breh
that song was literally everywhere.
the anticipation for 101 was so heavy in the streets that it seemed like he was bigger, yall are underestimating the damage clifford did on these charts for about 5-6 years straight.
dude had a #1 movie and a #1 album in the same week and your still arguing this?
they wasnt calling him the southern jay-z for no reason especially judging from his numbers.
and ross did not debut before king, pom didnt drop until like june or july of that summer i believe.

youre sippin the kool-aid. and that "southern jay-z" comment says it all because thats the idea that these magazines and television & radio outlets were relentlessly pushing to the masses. as i said yesterday, there was a communal effort within the industry to make T.I. the man of the south. and it was obvious to anybody that was fully cognizant of the game at the time.
meanwhile, jeezy was getting snubbed out of awards because the industry never f**ked with him like that.
so of course, to the average person that just follows rap thru tv and the charts, it may seem like tip was bigger than jeezy, but he really wasnt. niccas that was out there know that jeezy had the last movement in hip-hop. tip on the other hand, is just a popular rapper. its not even arguable between the two.. you dudes are telling on yourselves in this thread.
the snowman movement >>>> tip's career

and stop saying that ATL was tip's movie. it wasnt his movie at all.
he just starred in it and was able to cross-promote it with his album.

your proving my point, i already said jeezy had a bigger movement, cheif keef has a bigger movement then jeezy does now whats your point, that dosent transend into sales/awards/hits which clifford trumps jeezy in every category, if this dosent determine who is/was bigger than please explain to me what does?
jeezy was getting snubbed because of that whole snowman movement and what it represented, dont try and leave that out of there, that snowman movement lasted maybe a year if that long that shyt died pretty quick.
his last album sold just as much as if not more than 103 without no promo while he was in prison despite 103 dropping on christmas.

jeezy still getting snubbed. his own label been sabotaging him for years now.
i dont care how much tip sold. he better be outselling jeezy with all the spotlight that he gets. and being in jail is the best promotion homie. dont get it twisted.
BUT 103 IS WAY MORE RELEVANT THAN WHATEVER THE NAME OF TIP'S LAST ALBUM WAS.
lol @ chief keef.

you keep making up excuses after i already proved my point yet your still trying to argue and still havent answered my question, if having more hits, being in major movie releases, and selling more records dosent mean he is bigger than what does?
103 was obviously more relavent the point i was making is that his last album sold just as much maybe even more than 103 with no promotion 1 single which flopped, 103 dropped the week of christmas
and 3 hunna/gbe is one of the more pupular movements out right now, keef has 2 nikkas affiliated with him signed to the same label as jeezy.

How U Luv That???
TI raps circles around both these nikkas but his albums are overrated. Trap Musik and King are the only one's I would even consider givin more than 4 mics..Urban Legend was close but the misses on that shyt were really bad, not even gonna talk about TI vs TIP or No Mercy. Jeezy is way more consistent on an album and mixtape level.
As far as popularity of course TI was the bigger artist in his prime, he was more marketable and made radio friendly joints that MTV could play but if we're talkin about who was "that nikka" in their prime it's obviously Jeezy. Tip was the most popular street rapper in the south around the time he was in and out of jail in 2004, the U Dont Know Me/Motivation era when he was dissin Flip, then Jeezy came through with that Snowman shyt and crushed the buildings and started a genuwine movement. South nikkas went from bein crunk to becoming drug lords right after Trap Or Die dropped, his popularity impact and influence was way bigger than TI's at least in the streets.

You're just stanning right now HARD.... snowman movement > Tip's career??
:nikkaplease: I'm a fan of Jeezy and I respect his movement, but you should be smacked on sight for that comment.... At the end of the day.. Jeezy is and was nothing more than a one dimensional trap rapper... He was just something fresh and new back in 05 with amazing production and was cosigned by BMF.. Look how quickly nikkas flocked to Gucci... That nikka Jeezy still salty bout that.. Tried to have the nikka off'd and everything LOL...TI dropped 3 back to back classics TM, UL(very suprised no one mentions this album) and King.. Then he dropped Papertrail
.... Brah you losing touch wit reality

Since when is UL a classic album? classic songs, yes..but that album as a whole was hit or miss. Paper Trail wasn't that good either, I still don't see what people see that shyt. And yeah nikkas flocked to Gucci and even Ross but Jeezy is the only trap rapper to ever continusly go platinum WITHOUT compromising his style and selling out, that's one of the reasons his fanbase is so strong and can still sell over 700k without any hit singles while Tip has just been 
for the past 2 years.
