Suspect, halfway flabby list fam. No disrespect but a good chunk of this list has been straight up :flabbynsick: for a looooong time and would actually get washed by T.I. at his best rapping head up. Others have shaky catalougues.


I'm no TIP Stan but there's no way he's getting outdone by fukkin and Grand Puba :mjlol:

I measure rappers based off their level of skill, influence, and innovation in comparison to the competition within their respective eras. Newer rappers benefit from the innovations made by the rappers that came before them so it's unreasonable to compare them head to head.

Tip can rap but dude has no quotables. His classics are not certified classic albums. Urban Legend was the closest he got. Records sells mean nothing if that was the case Nelly would be top 5

Top 10? No he is barely making top 20.

Dude isn't better than

Lupe
Royce
Black Thought
Elzhi
Crooked I(statik kxng was piff)
Vinnie Paz
Big Krit
Nas
Scarface
Joe budden

Those 10 are still alive.
TI isnt higher all time than crooked I?:heh:



come on fam....COME ON :troll::troll:


this isnt about who is your fav's its about discography's

IMO to be a top 10 rapper of all time, you need at minimum 20 years in the game. I say this because your music has to hold up even as eras change. To be fair TI is a top 10 Southern artist, and I'd probably put him in the top 30 which is nothing to sneeze at.
