T.I. - What's the consensus?

[jalamanta]

Is this nikka released something worth listening to? What are his best tracks? I saw this nikka in American Gangster where he played the son of Common

Heard a couple of joints with him and like 5 other unknown nikkas and I couldnt even distinguish which nikka is TI.

I can't be bothered downloading all his shyt and listen to it only to find out he is trash bin status.

So is he good?

 

[King Biko]

not sure if serious but listen to trap muzik

Props. I am on it. It's better be good. Will post my observations.



And I am serious.

 

[Youngdev]

His second third and fourth albums, listen to those

 

[flipn50]

Trap Muzik, Paper Trail, King, I'm Serious, and Urban Legend are all good albums.



Stay away from Ti vs TIP and Mercy.

To me, T.I. is good. He is a dope rapper.

But his time has passed, and he wasted a nice chunk of his prime in prison.

Now he is on super parole so he can't really go too hard on the trap talk cause he has to re-shape his image at the same time.

But nobody wants to hear T.I. on a bunch of rap pop tracks, at least I don't.

I think he should kinda step away gracefully, maybe still a feature here and there but focus on Grand Hustle.

So I guess I have to listen to his whole catalogue except two albums.

Son fell off. Right at his peak he gets sent to jail then goes right back. He's the type of artist you wanna give another chance but are hesitant because of his track record of fukkin up.

He got sonned by Shawty Lo and his wife is a

Like duke said his time came and went. I don't be checkin for his new shyt even though that track with KRIT is

All in all I would say since you don't know much about him it'll be easier for you to look passed all the stupidity us older fans had to deal with and enjoy his music.

You haven't heard TI's work and you're a hiphop fan? What are you from India?

 

[The Piff Gawd]

He was big 5-6 years ago but he fell off the map hard.

King is his only must listen album. Thats when he was at his peak.

And this is his best song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnUgx-QtJqE

You ask me his best work is the first 2... His sound started to change after that and he began to appeal to the masses too much for me... I can even dig Urban Legend too though.. That lil red nikka used to wile out on tracks and get nikkas hype.. Used to kill them ad-libs lol
