T.I. clearly. Scarface is the greatest rapper of all time in the south, but even he said Tip is the king. Shit, I can make one LONG ass list of ppl that have said T.I is the king (Face, Trick Daddy, Young Buck, Pimp C, Bun B, Outkast, Lil Scrappy and it just keeps going). Plus the 1 guy who really called out T.I. on it got his music career ended (flip).
If you define "king" as who gets the most Clear Channel radio spins and Viacom owned BET / MTV vids, and who appeals to the teeny bop crowd of 106 & Park then I'd agree with you.If you define it based on talent, originality, inherent musical genius, and innovation I'd say that mentioning TI is laughable.

Even scarface said that shit.
But you didn't answer my question - What do YOU base the "king" title on?You gotta understand when you keep mentioning Face saying that. I seriously doubt Face sits in his house and bumps big thangs poppin over and over again. He prolly sees him as a young black man that is having success, which he's going to support regardless. Also, alot of these rappers saying TI is king see his sales and want a piece of that pie. They're not going to potentially alienate any TI fan that could potentially buy their cd as well. It's all about business.

It's all about business.watch the Beef 3 DVD, T.I. answers you're question perfectly.I actually would bet that Face heard trap muzik & really liked that album. Face & Tip are homies, that's well known. That is probably why he said it. As you know I am a huge T.I. fan, and could give a fuck if Scrappy says he's the king of the south. No way i'd cop his album off that alone, and if anyone would do that, they deserve to be certified mildly retarded.
