T.I. vs. TIP: The Unheralded Classic...5 Years Later

[Black Excellence]

yeah man this album is slept on as far as critical acclaim fuck what you heard !!!! this is an album where i listened to it from top to bottom when it first dropped without skippin' a track even today it sounds great.
this concept album had it all from the high quality production and concept to the sharp as ginsu intricate lyricism t.i. displayed throughout the record. one thing that also stood out to me was timbaland's then protege danja's 3 outstanding concoctions: ''hurt'', ''tell 'em i said that'', and ''respect this hustle'' some of my favorite joints off the album. all the skits were on point and even the features was dope i still remember coppin' and readin' a don diva mag right after king dropped and the writer spoke on t.i.'s recording process as he just started to work on t.i. vs. tip (t.i. pacing back and forth and goin' in the booth knockin' out songs no pen or pad effortlessly). imo everthing about this album was flawless....

There's a difference though. This isn't considered a "good album" in the eyes of the majority, let alone a classic.

Deeming this a classics lowers the standards of the word "classic" to the point 90% of the albums ever released would have to be "classic".

All three of Eminems first albums are WIDELY considered as great, even classic in most circles. Find me someone who thinks those albums are "solid" and I'll find a thousand people who think this T.I. album is "solid at best".

i don't know a lot of people who considered eminem's sslp a classic including myself. half of it was off an old ep and a couple of tracks dre & co added to the mix to give it some punch.

SSLP is a classic and it's even in Crooked I's top 5 albums of all time

crooked has no album of his own so his opinion holds no weight and if he wasn't signed to shady i doubt he would make that statement.

he made it before being signed to shady actually


but that doesn't change the fact SSLP has no bad songs on it and is a lyrical masterpiece.  no offense but TI just isn't that lyrical my friend.  look how he got outshined by everyone on the hard white remix.

t.i. is an incredible lyricist and he bodied that remix. if you consider sslp that it's your choice i can't knock that but t.i. got lyrics you can't tell me different.

A lot of people consider that though. You have guys like Rakim and Redman speaking out and claiming Em's greatness. T.I. has B.o.B. showing him the utmost respect because he gave him a shot.

everyone had a great verse on hard white remix but the ones that stood out to me the most were Crook, Buddens and Yela.  and Ortiz's flow was incredible too.


such a shame that Hard White remix didn't make the album
