Umm, he has skills as a rapper, and, as stated above, has some good hooks. That is the explanation of his success. Don't hate, appreciate.

Im more attracted to him than I do care about his music. I did appreciate him having Sheila E 2 years ago for his BET performance.

When does his jail term start? Though he did beat the "guns" rap sort of, i heard he is still going to do time for some of it.

Love his lyrics (not necessarily his subject matter tho), but he can actually write, knows what a metaphor is, and his rhymes are more complex than 90% of the rappers out there. He's prolly second to Jay-Z in his ability to tell a story from start to finish without resorting to weak, simple ass, 4-word lines. Plus the production's pretty good. Motivation is my shit and I was actually planning to add a line from it as part of my siggy. music

T.I. is one of the few rappers out now that is really good. I love all of his cd's-I call it grown folks rap lol He seems like he has the makings to be a good actor too nod I loved his role in American Ganster and even ATL lol Plus he's another fine Lil man razz Don't hate-he's good.
