If T.I. Never Got Popped For The Guns, At The Least; Hes Up There With Wayne In Terms Of Popularity

[Hov]

This is a whole lie.

When Wayne dropped Tha Carter in 2004, he was still behind T.I. and even Luda for that matter. Urban Legend put some distance between T.I. and Wayne.

Not even going to address the rappers outside The South bigger than Wayne, but in 2005, Jeezy was bigger than Wayne. There was a whole Houston wave that year in addition to what Jeezy was doing in ATL.

Yea people are either young or didn’t go outside.

I don’t know how this is a diss, it’s just how the world turns lol.

I mean anyone who says Wayne was bigger than Jeezy in 2005 needs to log off the internet.

Actually I remember Wayne performing at my college that year in the baby gym to a small crowd and he had Trina with him in the back lol - he was just not a superstar in the regard he was a few years later…

And TI “What you know about that” “Big Ish Popping”, ATL movies, not to mention this guy was acting in mainstream films, was bigger than Wayne on a cultural level, that’s not even debatable.

Wayne def got off and surpassed though, incredibly enough without ever really stepping outside of music

Breh this is essentially what I said. Tip got popped in 07. And Paper Trail is a very stellar album btw.

I’m saying C3 dropped before tip went to prison his time was over by the he started making super poppy mainstream singles and flat out bad music

His prison stint and getting popped for guns had nothing to do with Wayne taking over cause it had already happened

He was. Drought 3 was voted damn near the best rap album of 07 and duffel bag boy hook was an anthem. Tip dropped TI vs Tip it was huged and he got arrested that year but didn’t serve time.

Right after though Gossip and I’m Me leaked. Gossip became one of the most pirated songs that year. I’m me went platinum. Wayne dropped lollipop beginning of 08 and it was the biggest single of the year. A milli, got money and mrs officers were all huge.

C3 dropped in June was the largest first week sales for any album in 2008. By the end of 2008, Tha Carter III had sold approximately 2.88 million copies and it was named the best-selling album of the year in the United States by Billboard.

It had nothing to do with Tip getting popped for guns. It was wayne time regardless. C3 was bigger than paper trail. And Wayne was the man before tip got locked and after.

Who else was Waynes completion then? Tip was already done.

When Tip went to jail he had 2-3 people on his heels. Once he slipped they passed him up. Try again.

I love Cliffords music, but Wayne had Dot/Drake/Cole/Sean/Meek and even Rozay all o the rise while in jail, came back and didn't miss a beat did 900k first week

This fool gettin mad.


Bruh, When Wayne dropped Carter 1 in 2004, he passed T.I. Carter 2 made him the Top Dog in Rap in 2005.

T.I. Was battling with Jeezy and Rick Ross. Wayne was a Rock Star.

This is not true at all, TI was going Gold in his first week

 

[saiyamangetshoes]

Tip was kicking Wayne’s ass commercially until he went pop with that Lollipop shyt. Anyone saying otherwise a Wayne stan.

 

[DatNkkaCutty]

All I know is that when "What you know" dropped, and then that ATL movie right after, Tipster was the hottest thing smoking, second to none.

All the hoes swore they were Nu Nu

Thread...and specifically at this moment.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Agree

 

[papertrail08]

As an Atlantan… Nope

Wayne went away for a year for a gun as well and never stumbled….

Wayne had Drake and Nicki to fall back on

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

The KING/ATL movie era might be one of the best campaigns ever

The way I saw it Wayne was 1A and T.I. was 1B in 2008/2009. Carter 3 sold 1M first week, Paper Trail sold 568K first week. Carter 3 had Lollipop while Paper Trail had Whatever You Like, Live Your Life and Dead & Gone. Once Drake came in while Tip was locked up, that’s when he started going downhill then he got locked up AGAIN a few months later

True but Drake and Nicki would’ve never blown up without a Wayne co sign.
