Has anyone forgotten about T.I.?

[jtnc]

I certainly have, and with him gone from the mainstream for about 2 and a half years now who couldn't?

It's gonna take a lot of work for him to get back to where he was, cause that album 'no mercy' was poo.

[Dingo_ate_Babies]

the guy was mainstream since day 1.

[Dpantherman]

he sold 500K from jail, its a big drop from 2mil, but that is a considerable amount with no promotion. He'll be fine. Besides, hes only 30

I have no love for a rapper that starts a song out with a word, and continues to rhyme that one word.

His entire songs resemble this...

I got a cat,

It has a hat,

Picked it up on Sat,

Man it made me feel fat,

I pulled out my gat,

Shot that cat in the back....

[jtnc]

I just thought that 'no mercy' was an horrible album. And then for him to go back to jail, he has one more time to mess up and he's gonna be in the slammer for awhile.

Who is T.I.?

He's definitely had a few hits in the last 2 and a half years, though.

I actually think T.I. is one of the better rappers.

if by better you mean exactly like every other rapper nowadays

can't stand his "music"

and I lol'd hard at the movie he was in recently. Takers I think? I cringed just watching the trailer for it. Why do people in music think they can act?

right on point with your answer.

Shiitty movie for sure...I dont know why I even watched it.

The state of hip hop is in the gutter when it comes to mainstream.

Underground is where it's at. If you want to listen to a good artist with a good album that recently came out listen to this:

he's in jail. so obviously, out of sight out of mind.. once he gets out, he'll be back on top. I wouldn't be too skeptical of that, at all.

matter of fact, he was working with B.O.B. on an album that I would expect to be rather impressive..

him being out of the spotlight for 2 1/2 years isn't entirely true.. his brief comeback before going back was big. and it'll prove the same next time.

he sold 500K from jail, its a big drop from 2mil, but that is a considerable amount with no promotion. He'll be fine. Besides, hes only 30

definitely agree.. find it hard to believe otherwise..

never saw the movie. and I can act better than Paul Walker.

however, hard to argue mainstream hip-hop is in the gutter. Well, kind of.. I have always separated Hip-hop from Rap.. The closer to rap, you're right. But hip-hop has some potential..

as for mainstream, guys like J Cole, Saigon, Lupe, B.O.B., and a few others should help that..

Not sure anyone's take on those guys, but all things considered, they are talented and put out a little more substance than in past years..

edit: I meant, hard to argue mainsteam hip-hop isn't in the gutter..

Huge fan of Lupe.
