Everybody I named is a better rapper than T.I. IMO. There are O.G.'s and newer artists on the list, and that list is light because actually I fukks with homey. I didn't even mention nikkas like Mos Def, Skyzoo, Canibus, Talib, GZA, J.U.I.C.E., Sa-Roc, Elzhi, Del tha Funky Homosapien, Chance, Saafir, MF Doom, Jean Grae, Oddisee, Asop Rock, El-P, Ab-Soul, Killer Mike, etc. just to keep the list under 100 and fair to the discussion. I did throw Gift of Gab, Chip-Fu, and Brotha Lynch's names on the list just because their names dont get mentioned as much as they should though...
