It’s been a long road to the top for T.I. The Atlanta rap titan became one of most critically acclaimed and top selling rappers in the industry, charting five multiplatinum albums in a row within five years. But with the King of the South currently caged on an 11 month sentence for violating probation, the trek back to chart domination looks all the more daunting. Now, on the fifth anniversary of the release of Tip’s seminal fourth album King, Complex put together an infographic tracking the ups and downs of the Rubberband Man’s career since 2006.

Legendary golden era trio Naughty by Nature are reminding why we loved the ’90s. Treach, Vin and Kay Gee recently found their way back into the spotlight with an acclaimed mixtape and a performance of their latest singl “Flags” on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Now, Billboard has given fans a look into the group’s upcoming seventh album Anthem Inc. and why it took the New Jersey crew nearly a decade to get back into the studio together.
King is T.I.’s best album hands down, I really hope he does make a comeback because No Mercy is weak.
t.i. vs. t.i.p. is my favorite
he should either go ahead and drop king uncaged when he gets out or do a T.I. vs T.I.P. II
I aggre with L-Boogie. I think that KING is his best album. No Mercy was just “ok”. I wish the best for Tip, my fav rapper. September 17th the king is free. Can’t wait.
