    Both. plaese to consult trap muzik

    I wanna talk to you shawty (Why?)
    'Cause you be trippin' sometimes
    (Man I'm just trying stay true to what I say in my rhymes)
    It ain't a doubt in my mind, but you got a lot on the line
    You need to think 'bout yo' actions (Why?)
    You be overreactin' (Maaaan)
    Look at Cap and K.T. listen to K.P.
    (What about 'em; where the fuck this shit come from?)
    Or to a J.G. to your mama or D.P
    Or somebody shawty shit you be makin' me sick (Nigga fuck you!)
    You'd be a motherfuckin' fool if you blow this lick (Alright alright)
    This the chance of a lifetime, you know this shit
    Remember what Jarmel told us "stay focused Tip" (I remember nigga)
    (Man but they be tryin' me shawty)
    Niggaz be tryin' you how?
    Ay let them tell it, you was just another guy in the crowd
    (Naw, but they be talkin' too loud)
    Man you be listenin' too hard
    Just pay these niggaz no attention and keep fuckin' they broads (Alright)
    I know you harder than these niggaz (Yeah) and smarter than these niggaz (Yeah)
    More heart than these niggaz (Yeah)
    Quit worryin' 'bout thses niggaz
    (Ay man fuck these niggaz I'm from Bankhead and I don't know where you stayed at)
    (But talkin' sideways behind my back, I never played that)
    (Since you become a payed cat T.I. you been so layed back)
    (I wonder where lil' bad ass Tip from back in the day at)
    Man that nigga had to stay back there so we could be that
    Nigga on TV and FYI we got the P back
    Hold up shawty freeze Jack (What?)
    "Lame" I'll never be that (Yeah OK)
    Changed my name a thousand times and still a G believe that
    (Oh yeah good we go Ki's)
    (That nigga from overseas back)
    You see what I be sayin' 'bout this nigga (What man? Shit)
    I don't believe that
    You ain't listenin' is ya?
    You got issues I got kids, 2 boys a lil' girl
    (Ay I know nigga they my kids too)
    You know it's one false move and it's back to the big house
    The judge told our ass "one more time" and we ain't gettin' out
    (I wouldn't say that)
    Be thinkin' 'bout standin' outside in the sunshine (Ho)
    Watchin' nigga's heads get buck for cuttin' the lunchline
    Ay shawty you ain't 'posed to make the same mistake more than one time
    (And I ain't made the same mistake twice since uh '99)
    Please, boy stop don't get me started folk it's not the time
    And let's just do this shit my way get paid and have a lot of time
    Plenty fine bitches, who gon' pull shawty you is?
    (Man you know Tip got the hoes)
    And Tip hoes got gold teeth (What that mean? What you tryna say nigga?)
    Mine got jobs, good credit and they own features
    (And mine boost clothes, sell 'dro, got the blow cheap)
    (I guess it's just depend on what ya like folk) That's right folk
    (And I was just kiddin' 'bout them kites folk) Heh, alright folk
    (I'm really glad we had a chance to sit it down and rap a tad)
    (I admit you had a couple points, sometimes I act a ass)
    Ay but it is so important to keep it real though just like ya said
    No record deal, no amount of mil' shall go to my head
    (And with that said can't nobody tell us shit, so fuck the hatin')
    How many niggaz real enough to stand and give theyself a straightenin'?

    though the single's less than inspiring and i'm apprehensive about clef's involvement.

  • I listened to "Big Shit Poppin'" 4 times in a row this morning.

    lol Faux has gone from proclaiming month-old albums "classic" (e.g. Clipse) to actually granting classic status before the album is even out.

    plaese to take a deep breath.

    1. T.I. is great, but not the best rapper alive.
    1a. T.I. is not better than Big Daddy Kane in his prime.
    2. The first single from T.I. vs. Tip sounded like garbage to me upon first listen.
    3. You sound like a cheerleader.

    keep repeating "classic" and pretty soon it won't mean anything at all.

    it's called inflation. soon you'll need a whellbarrow full of "classic" just to begin to describe the LOX reunion tape.

    Thank you, chad. I am familiar with this effect, having witnessed you greatly cheapen the term "nice!" That's why I use "classic" so sparingly.

    it's true fauxhack. the term "nice" was so potent with meaning before I came along.

    i think the single is pretty good. not really on 'what you know's level in any sense but lyrically?

    Who said anything about "nice"? We are talking about "nice!"

    Well I know of at least one reverent and ernest hip hop historian who may have stated that TI is as good as Big Daddy Kane in his prime. But I don't believe I've ever encountered this new botty rabblerouseur who suggested that he was better than Kane.

    That would definitely be out of club compliance.

    T.I. = great artist/decent rapper

    Strictly rap-wise out of Texas, I'd take Z-Ro and Gerald G over T.I. any day of the week.

    And if we added it all up, I'd take Devin over T.I. as an artist as well.

    Plus in my book (now considering the whole South), T.I. has yet to surpass Juvenile on the lifetime achievement steez.

    Juvenile

    speaking of....where the hell is THAT guy these days?

  • rootlesscosmorootlesscosmo 12,848 Posts
    back to the topic at hand:

    by what criteria does one judge an un-released and as yet un-heard album classic?

    is faux so taken in by the clever marketing and the single that he is willing to proclaim this album classic sound unheard?

    and if so what does that really say about his abilities to meaningfully critique an album on its merits?

    or is it merely that he is such an unabashed fanboy that he will proclaim any and all T.I. product classic before it's even dropped?

    please, help us understand.

    Juvenile

    speaking of....where the hell is THAT guy these days?

    He put out what I consider to be a really good album last year called Reality Check.

    And apparently his next one is going to be a reunion with Mannie.

    Oh, jeez.

    He only put out one of the best and most important records of 2005, "Getcha Hustle On," and followed it with a decent album last February.
