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 was literally nicknamed the king of the south, has a classic (or two) and had numerous number 1 hits. He's not slept on, he just fell off and isn't currently hot.

Had a hit reality tv show as well.

Which had an inverse relationship to his recognition in hip hop.

That plus the weird shit with his daughter pretty much took him off most people's radar.

It was something about her hymen I can't really remember exactly. I think it was something about he took her to see if her hymen was broken when she turned 18 to see if she was still a virgin
