Hear me out, it just donned on me. I seriously doubt there's a better combination of pure flow, witty wordplay, fluid delivery, and charismatic persona inthe game right now. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. No sack jockey, but the ladies say the dude is attractive as well. I mean, hey, this guy's playingpoker with a royal flush in his hand. Any who, enjoy my supporting argument!

I'll agree that he is one of the most complete/well rounded/established artists doing it right now.

Terms like "most", "greatest", "best", etc.. are terms I try to avoid when it comes to this music %$*@ though...
 
i agree.
i'm glad he rebounded from the TI/TIP fiasco
i coulda done w/o Live Your Life and My Life Your Entertainment off paper trail though
 
I'm not saying he's the BEST anything (though I honestly believe he has the best flow, I'm just now saying that RIGHT now). I just think hiscatalog is very well rounded and put together. I mean, there's songs like Praying for Help, Live in the Sky, Dope Boys, etc etc etc.... dude definesversatility IMO.
 
yea i agree he's good, but sometimes he slur he slur his words too much..sometimes he just too commerical for me..
 
^The slur is "his thing" though. It's what makes his flow so smooth. Well, that and the numerous punch ins

... either way it sounds reallygood with his inflection and speech patterns.
 
Agreed
i dont know what that paper trail bs was about, but hes still one of my fav artist

between "t.i. vs." and "shes a freak tho" that was enough to show me was he had more to bring to the table then shh like 24sand rubberband man. now theres nothin wrong with those songs i like those songs very much but thats what you expect/get out of the average southern rapper soit was nice to hear stuff like that come from down there

"f what they think about you i think you the shh girl"
thats one of the realest song ive ever heard

I agree...he is the best right now at balancing the commercial and street songs

He was the first artist ever to have the #1 and #2 songs in the country
He had the hottest verse on "Swagga Like Us"
He killed Lil Flip and Shawty LO in both battles
He can drop introspective songs like "No Matter What" "Live in the Sky" etc.
The chicks love him

Both them tracks go hard b

T.I.P is pretty well rounded, his strongest suit is definitely his versatility, nice flow, lyrical content is there when needed, catalog is good.

But you know who is also a pretty complete rapper that is often overlooked..... Styles Pinero cats be sleeping on Styles P solid catalog, somewhat versatile,flow is good, lyrically he can hit you with some street sh-- or some socially conscious music. P doesn't disappoint on the mic
 
Now 'Pac and Biggie want ride too
I guess that's cool since that muthaf'ka
The reason yall n'z had to die too
My n'a Bankhead would be alive too
Shawty let ride
It's 4serious up here dough
Cause we don't ride we glide
Now I'm strapped and ready folks
But I can't seem to do a thing
With these wings how I'm supposed to keep them steady folks
With a chopper on back of two 44's shawty no
A the pain we finna bring
I don't thing he even ready for
When it's on you already know
Farewell bruh. mama always told me
I was bad enough to tear hell up
IM doing this for what you made of
From that time you made the (female dog) eat the apple
to the time you sent your folks
To put us on the boat and enslave us
Worked us and never paid us
Killed Malcolm X, Martin Luther King
and everybody else tried to come down here and save us
kept our fathers from raising us
Kidnapped us from our country
Took our tradition and our religion away from us
Well now it's time for the k to bust
We want our spirits and our minds back now
IM getting mines right now
P'Y N'A lay it down I'm walkin
Thought hell kicking the devils doors down
spraying rounds waving the K around
Well I woke up I was lying down shawty
WHAT HAPPENED?






I was like

Not to me. I can't take Luda seriously when he's trying to be for real. He just ain't gutter enough to appeal to me about stuff Ireally want to hear.His first 2 albums are keepers for certain, but you can have the rest. His "Fun" music is appreciated though, and I even likethis one more drink song.
 
TIP has always been that dude. Aint nothing new. Besides Hov son is the best in the game right now...EASY

So Tip is better than Lupe, I doubt it.

About time dudes start recognizing TIP. I been sayin this. dudes sleep on his actual talent. Dude can say some BS sometimes but he comes correctly

The south is getting its props. Luda ...TIP...

Dude has an incredible personality as well...

Don't forget we won't be hearing ANYTHING from him next year and dude is still goin hard like ain't nothing about to happen.

Thats legendary. I don't care what anyone says. Dude has every reason to lay low and sulk around.
