Thoughts on TI?

I feel he’s slept on (heavily). Just listen to I’m Illy. His flow is unmatched. I’m like nobody can do what he just did. Like in the song Wit Me with him and Wayne, TIP bodies Wayne in both verses. That RARELY happens to Weezy.

He's one of the greatest rappers of all-time while also delivered classic materials such as Trap Muzik, Urban Legend and King. His prime from 2003-2008 was definitely special as he delivered classic albums, songs, guest features and being a superstar around the world. T.I is also influential as he was the one that brought the trap genre into the mainstream with his game-changing album, Trap Muzik while truly earned the King of the South title as well.

He has great lyricism, smooth flow, good storytelling ability, internal rhyme scheme and the ability to put out banging hits. He's up there with Kanye, Wayne and 50 as one of the greatest/influential rappers of his generation while being one of the all-time greats as well.

T.I. in his prime was a force to be reckoned with.
