first off, let me start off by saying that i am NOT a hater (T.I. is actually my fav. rapper). But i find his #s intresting (topped 06' for a rapper, and still has a 300,000 lead on jay-z). Why did he sell? alot of theories can easily be wiped away. Some people think he is cheesy and would compare him 2 D4L, DFB, Yung Joc, Jibbs, Young Dro etc. (personally i wouldn't, he's much better then those mentioned). But if we can't agree on that explain this:alot of that "snap" shit flopped. D4L flopped, Dro flopped, Jibbs flopped. Joc was only 1 who did decent #s (styll around 1 mill behind T.I.) and I *THINK* DFB JUST hit gold. Why did T.I. sell so many records? what you know was big, but so was "shoulder lean", "laffy taffy", "chain hang low"I've actually argued this with friends.what are your thoughts?

He has no substance in his lyrics, his style is weak, he was a star in some gay-ass Lil Bow Wow movie or something so it got him alot of attention.

I've heard.-T
T.I. is nowhere near Luda. Luda can rap circles around him. Somebody should up that joint that he did with Cee Lo on Lo's 2nd solo. Shit was sick.
T.I. is one of those MTV/favourite...niggas for the year.But as Cube said 'they'll find a new nigga next year...'

King shits all over release therapy

King shits all over release therapyMore mainstream than Luda? Are you crazy? Luda's been one of THE biggest Hip Hop acts for the last 7 years. Check his album sales. He's been all over MTV / BET / Radio. So you're statement about T.I. choosing the more mainstream route is completely wrong. And I can't speak on King vs. Release Therapy because I don't own either. Luda>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>T.I. easily.
