Why isn't T.I. bigger?

Why should he be... what's he really created?

Apart from rapping well... can you truly name anything that you could pit up against other genres as an amazing piece of music, or a genius concept or story... has he advanced the art?

If it's a no to all of those, then he's as big as he should be.

Paper Trail is a legit classic and has more hit singles than most albums. It's a freaking singles machine.

Should've drank his milk.

he used to be pretty big but he went on that diet remember?

I loved T.I. Until he made "paper trail" then got all positive and had his positive show on MTV about how gangbanging isn't worth it and shit. Then now hes got the "trap back jumpin" and want's to be a gangster again. The only person that can do this is Ice Cube.

If you go that way, one can say the same about Lil Wayne, who gets way more props than T.I.
Shit, even Rick Ross sometimes gets more appreciated than him

Never bothered me, I find it ok

There you go

Trap rappers get boring. & his stays in prison sure didn't help. He had such a big buzz after King, and lost it all pretty much

he's a good rapper and he's still really big in the south but it really comes down to his music the last 4 years has been subpar. trap back jumpin was tight but most of trouble man was nothing special. if he made a classic album he would get back to where he was. it's really all about the music your producing not if you were in jail or if your white or black really. it's about the product

No Mercy was a let down but it certainly was solid
I thought TroubleMan was tight. It was real, agressive concept albuns and it even had those skits that got the game sucking on Kendrick. We have a lot of artists with questionable music quality that seems bigger than him, so idn

I actually like that duality
One can do wrong shit in one's life but know that's wrong either way
Just because he did some bad things, it doens't mean that he wants to get that massage across
That's why he raps about all the wrong he's done but is capable of delivering inspiring songs as well

He was really big when he dropped Paper Trail
