This is the type of inbred dummy armchair A&R logic that makes this board look bad. Breh, none of us determine what a flop is. T.I. hasn't sold a significant amount of copies in quite sometime. Paper Work was a flop. It had two huge singles with Pharrell attached to it as executive producer and this was fresh off of "Happy" and after he and T.I. had just previously had "Blurred Lines" go #1.

This album was announced years ago. It just got a date two weeks ago. He dropped two singles that aren't big. And ya'll are in here bringing up a press run. Everybody does press runs.


24k for ti is a flop breh. If Ross Jeezy 50 sold that shyt it would be a flop

It what is it is

You cannot say 24K is a flop. If an artist hasn't been selling for an extended period of time, 24K is not a flop. It isn't a success either. Not everything can be quantified as a success or a flop.

T.I will never have another classic album.

His classics were, Underground king, King, Paper Trail.

Trap Muzik?

How you gonna forget about trap muzik?

But yeah it's sad that T. I. is washed creatively. He was a beast in his prime. Never thought Wayne would outlast him.

It seems people REALLY liked this average ass long ass Wayne album



trash album....Tip is washed and he promoted this album HEAVY too

When and where did he promote this album?

Fam 24k is a flop for any artist signed to a major.. there's zero argument to be had here homie...Tip is one of my favorite rappers of all time and I like the album, but 24k???!??
:damn:


He's been talking about Dime Trap for like the better part of a decade, it's supposed to be his big major return album...but 24k would be an embarrassment and he and the label would've been better off not releasing it at all...now granted I haven't even seen where people are getting that number from... I'd have a hard time believing it's not at least two to three times more than that

I'm not gonna say T.I is washed up...He just doesn't have that swagger/hunger that he used to have that made him one of the best southern rapper of all time.

T.I his at his best when he has a chip on his shoulder and is out to prove himself. For this album to be hyped and promoted for years, it just didn't live up to it. Trouble Man was the last album TI put out that was hot.

The Young Thug and Jeezy cuts was cool but other than that theres nothing I will go back to.

Seeing he did 24k 1st weeks is:mjcry:

T.I. hasn't done hige numbers in adecade. You can't bring up Lupe and then claim he isn't a flop, but T.I. is when Lupe sold a fraction of what T.I. did.

Re-Read my post homie. I said "more of a flop" which means that yes I think Lupe flopped (though I dont give a fukk because Drogas is amazing).

I was making a statement about their relative positions in the game and the expectations that come with that.

Only one has over 9 million IG followers, was a huge seller in the past, a movie "star", had a hit tv show, did interviews promoting the album, and is still close to be a rapper that people "check for."

This shyt is a flop.

2014, Paper Work is a flop because Toomp and Pharrell both talked about how disappointing that album was on all fronts. It isn't a matter of what you or I think. Until someone fron T.I.'s camp or he himself says it a flop, it ain't a flop.
