the streets IS hip-hop.

i'll just end it there.

and for the record, when speaking on boosie & Gucci, i was specifically talking about the south. i wasn't saying that they were bigger than tip on the east coast or anything like that.



hold up.

aren't you the same dude that tried to tell me that tip was bigger than jeezy in the streets?

lol. good night.



i never said it wasn't.

why do you keep trying to argue me down about random stuff that i never said or even insinuated? you drunk?

And TI has usually been checked for more in "the streets" than those two. At least from people I have come across over the years.

radric is a top 3 artist/CEO of the 2000's every movement he touches blows up and he's caked off all them

OJ lil run
Flockas success
Nickis original run with the squad
Scooter buzzin heavy as fukk now
Chief Keef about to catch a second wind under his idol

compared to BOBs flop, mishandling Dro the gawd career and Iggy Azalea whos basically his cac fukktoy

wop has no need to sell X amount of records for anybody cuz he recouping most of that shyt for himself along with his cool 15k a show

'I bought a Bentley Muslanne it look just like TIPS but I never went platinum do you catch my drift?'

none of them had the sucess of bob though, oj had a nice 3 month run, flocka had a spark when he started now he is :flabbynsick: nicki blew up on ymcmb so she dosent count and scooter is locked up and his career is over before it started, keef isn't even signed to him he just co signing keef for the most part :russ: @ keef leaving interscope to go to bricksquad.


besides wacka none of them had 0 commercial success at the end of the day, bob sold more records then gucci so just end the sales convo because that's something gucci dosent do.


he has a nice following and has the streets over cliff obviously but the streets don't make you any money at the end of the day, he has to result to starting beef before every mixtape drop just to gain buzz, he is very influential of this generation and 1017 has the streets on smash but to compare him to wayne, jeezy and cliff is just blasphemous.

Overall, T.I. has been bigger than Jeezy. In '08 and '05 are the only points where it's been arguable in Jeezy's favor.

Excluding Kast and Face, it's not even a question. Arguments could be made for Eightball, MJG, Trick Daddy, Juvenile, Master P, Lil' Wayne, and UGK. All things considered, the list becomes narrower, and T.I. is a solid argument for a Top 3 spot.

How is ANYBODY on that secondary list better than UGK? I'll wait.

What implies that I think anybody on that secondary list is better than UGK? I just listed who I thought could be argued as better, not necessarily in order or ranking.

TIP is a Candidate for southern GOAT. I got mad love for Face, I grew up on face and I own that nyggaz entire discography, BUT bar for bar and lyrically I put TIP over Face.

For the sake of accuracy of GOAT MC of the south. We should exclude 3 stack because obviously he is in Outkast, we shouldn't consider UKG or Ball & MGJ either.

GOAT southern solo artist are:

TIP (Trap Muzik, Urban Legend, King, Paper Trail)
Wayne (03-08)
Luda (Back for the 1st time, Red Light district, Chicken & Beer) Luda had bodied a lot of nyggaz on tracks.

Dro and B.o.b sold more than the entire bricksquad combined including Guccci:heh:...has Gucci even sold more than either one of them nikkas and u wanna question T.I's c.e.o skills....more importantly his protege will rip all them nikkas apart:salute:....B.o.b will drop bigger hits than the entire bricksquad roster as horrible as they may be,u don't wanna discuss c.e.o shyt.....the fact u reachin for straws throwin in extra names says that,let's stick to the music:whoa:


nikkas in hear tryna act like T.I ain't never have the streets or sumthin,its mathmatically impossible to believe T.I didn't have as much of the streets as Boosie or Guccie:heh:....they might have a more concentrated area but TIP had the streets of america.....u don't think nikkas in the streets still check for t.I?T.I is one of the most complete artist the south has ever seen...sum of the nikkas y'all goot the audacity to compare him to is just:snoop:

ill give you credit for saying he is one of the more complete rappers to come out of the south ever but thats his weakness too, he just doesnt EXCEL at anything either, whens the last time tip spit a verse that made you say :ohhh:
