T.I. ..don't get it?

[JP]

T.I. latest album 'T.I. Vs. T.I.P.' sold close to 500,000 copies this past week. My question is, what is so great about him? People are acting like this guys is a gift from God. Did I fall asleep and miss something? Or is the Rap industry that bad that people find T.I good?

[AhabTheArab]

the rap industry is seriously that bad.

half a million is really not that many records for a top seller.

music is in trouble if they keep letting the suits decide whats good.

By todays standards, 500, 000 in your first week is definitely a feet.

Mann please, T.I. brings it. Hell he was the only rapper to hit Platinum in the whole year when King droped.

He was selling records (Trapp Music) when Hip-Hop was selling more albums too.

His flow could use some updating, but he's definatly changing. I mean if your only artist recolection is Jigga, then nothing will change your mind.

He's sold nearly 10 mil records-His consistancy is what keeps him around-King of the South.

Yep, but he's one of those few, few artists (along w/ Big Boi and 3K) I hit up Best Buy for the studio release.

T.I. always looked like the African American version of Orlando Bloom to me. Facial features wise.

[Deep Thinkin'!]

I listen to him on the radio. His songs have a beat that people like and can tap their feet to.

All of my friends like T.I., including myself.

[Yurka]

in 12 months no one will remember him,
so many rappers are called "THE BEST EVER" then a year later they fade out

His music's always been hot, plus he can flow his ass off.
Radio airplay and consitant hip-hop artists are a dying breed, but he keeps it movin.

Hopefully this happens to FOB and or half a dozen other Green Day clones,

Na-he's been around for 10 years now, we ain't got many cool artists left-I hate to dump on the 3 or 4 that still sell records.

When I was buyin CD's in 3's and 4's at a time, we had several artitst that brought it...now...

That is so not a racist statement.

All I said is he looked similar in the face to an actor who happened to be white.

I take great offense to being called a racist.

I'll explain:

African American

1. African: You are making the assumption that someone who is black comes from Africa and Africa only. What about those from South America?

2. American: All blacks come from America? Come on!

Oh my god. You are serious aren't you?

Dude. That's not even remotely racist. I was not assuming anything I simply called him African American meaning black. I wasn't assuming **** about where he's from. I don't even care where T.I. is from cause it's not even remotely relevant to his career as a rapper.

Stop trying to play the mother****ing race card.
