how did he end his career exactly?

and how was flip's departure from the mainstream any different from that of 90% of his Houston counterparts?



:what: top 4 catalog? NOT EVEN TOP 40.

and for the record tip done been around for like 13-14 years now.



tip wasn't even #1 amongst his peers before he was getting locked up.

and he didn't start getting booked until after he peaked anyway. besides, catching cases is supposed to increase your popularity. so going to prison isn't an excuse.



outkast is overrated as hell on the internet.

Who in the South was bigger than TI before he got locked up? It wasn't Ross I know that for sure. Jeezy is the only one I can think of that was a contender. Not including Wayne of course.

TI is not seeing Face,Outkast, UGK, or 8ball & MJG

To be honest, he doesnt have the classic Songs or verse that can stand the test of time like the others I mentioned

tip more lyrical then pimp c big boi and face bun-b n three stacks.

yet he doesnt have a classic verse :heh:

He is better with his technique but he doesn't say anything. Face on This Can't Be Life wasn't worth shyt technique wise but it was still more powerful than anything TI has ever wrote

you oviously don't listen to T.I. if you say he's not saying anything.

"Still Ain't Forgave Myself"
"I Still Love You"
"Praying For Help"
"Doin My Job"
"Motivation"
"My Type"
"No Mercy"


Dudes catalog is official. Anybody who says otherwise is a hater.

Master P aint one of the worst rappers ever?:wtb:

He made some good songs but come on now:russ:

do your homework young bul.

P got albums that trump the careers of some of the rappers being campaigned in here.

tip was only on top when he dropped "king".

he caught that gun charge when that "TI vs TIP" bullchit was out.

trust, if he was truly on fire those times he got booked, he wouldn't have lost any steam, especially considering that his promotion & hype never ceased.

After Paper Trail, TI was huge. Not sayin that the reason he fell off was because he got locked up but it didn't help him like it has done others. In fact other than Pac what rapper was really helped by going to jail. Wayne sold albums but his lyrics fell off even more than before.
