T.I. "If 50 was from the Midwest he would be Nelly"

[Pop123]

Yes....because Nelly has classic, legendary mixtapes that were so huge and in demand that he was able to tour the country off of them before securing the record deal...just off of mixtapes. And Nelly has 3 artists that were signed to him that each sold at least a million records on their solos.

See, this is why trying to force equivalencies is so stupid to me, lol, that shyt never really equates.

He's calling 50 a poptart nikka

Nelly > TI

TIP talmbout lets keep it real like that 50-Nelly analogy had just popped up in his head. That fool been sitting on that the past couple days

..but my thing is, why do these cats from other regions (artist and fans alike) have such an inferiority complex when it comes to NY. Them dudes birthed hip hop, why would they not show favoritism to their own? These fools be expecting everything to be all equal and just when that’s just not reality.

“Nepotism” isn’t inherently bad. These dudes from these other regions gotta understand that they will never be the 1st born son like a NY artist would be perceived up there, and nikkas from everywhere else are just stepchildren. No matter how much of a degenerate that 1st born may turn out to be and no matter how outstanding the stepchild ends up, it’s just a different level of affection that father gone have for his own.

Is wat it is

It’s like white people listing who their favorite NBA players are and they say Gordon Hayward, Jokic, and Luka.

Listen man I know 50 an a$$hole so it’s cool to take any slight you can nowadays but you don’t have to rewrite history to do it

Is wat it is

Being Black and Southern, it should be obvious why:

1) Discrimination just for being Black in The South, so you when people who look like you make fun of how you talk and look, yeah it will make you feel a type of way

2) East Coast cats who have no sense of history talk down on The South


We aren't "step-children". Hip Hop may not have started in The South, but it definitely gets its roots from The South.

T.I. And Nelly are damn near best friends. This is not a diss to Nelly. He’s just saying that Nelly and 50 Cent are just as accomplished but 50 is propped up a helluva lot more just because he’s from New York. Nelly isn’t propped up at all and dissed by a lot of people for being a corny mainstream hit making rapper which is basically exactly what 50 was during his prime but people never say this about 50. He’s just pointing out the hypocrisy.

Southern nikkas might have a bit of a complex. They look at NY like Cowboys fans. Ya'll ain't won shyt in years but still think you're the team to beat. Look on here and see every new little trend that pops up in NY and how it gets gassed drill, 69 pre snitch.

Only the West and the South really care about that regional shyt if you really think about. Who from NY is on that "The East Coast runnin this shyt! I do this shyt for the East Coast!"


, we never been on that corny shyt. Look at what you said just now, lol, it's like all the regional pride shyt is rooted in jealously and envy towards NY.

So when Nelly was a thing, how many people were out here saying he was one of their favorite rappers?

Who would even say NOW that he was one of their favorites back then?

what Nelly deep cuts do people talk about to this day?

this doesn’t have anything to do with 50 being from NY

Tip thought he had a smash hit diamond album coming when he featured nelly on his urban legend album
