T.I. Names His Top Four Favorite Rappers

    With his new album Trouble Man on the way, T.I. has been making the media rounds, most recently sitting down for an interview with L.A. Leakers. During the chat, Tip spoke on his collaboration with Andre 3000, “Sorry,” which has been hailed as a standout cut from the project.

    He said that Three Stacks is one of his favorite emcees, but went ahead and listed others that he considers of that caliber. “He’s in the top three or four,” he said. “You gotta give Eminem, [Jay-Z], Three Stacks, Lil Wayne. You cannot disregard [Andre’s] contribution and his skill set. You got to acknowledge that.”

    Trouble Man, releasing on December 18th, features guest appearances from a slew of artists including A$AP Rocky, P!nk, Cee Lo Green and more.

      1. That was my exact reaction lol.
        Em, Jay & 3000 are great but Wayne… c’mon, TIP that’s pretty disapointing…

      2. People weren’t so quick to criticize when the carter 3 dropped lol. That was one of his best albums. Even the critics who talk bad about people had good things to say about it. Had to have went platinum

      1. lol, faggots mad I’ve listened to more than 10 rappers, calling me backpacker because I’ve listened to more hip hop than you, lol, fuck outta here.

    1. Method Man, Ghostface Killah, KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Big L, Lord Finesse, Rakim….MC’s that none of you uneducated clown ass fans will ever understand because you’re always quick to name whoever is on BET or the top 10….

      1. Lil Wayne is their hero, because they are currently living in the present. A lot of the younger fans weren’t even born during those days, and would only be exposed through old jams on the radio, tv shows like rap city, or an older relative or friend.

      2. Older doesn’t always mean better, just like younger doesn’t mean not better. You need to stop hating the South.

      1. nigga u stupid…i can name u 50 rappers that are better then Wayne and with better music …get the fuck outta here…we can call Wayne avarage at best…young niggas are stupid as fuck these days

      2. ty 2nd anon… im personally not the biggest wayne fan (pre carter 3 he was in my top 5) but at the same time, dudes catalouge and prescense and just overall impact on hip-hop puts him all time top ten..

    2. 1. LiL Wayne
      2. Rick Ross
      3. Drake
      4. Meek Mill
      5. 2 Chainz

      fuck your fav rappers. deze niggaz are da hottest rite now. swag

      1. your probably some 12 year old gay kid who tries to fit in with the other little fags at school you know nothing of hip hop so fuck off from this website and never come back bitch ass kid

      2. so icy must have the IQ of my unborn son with that lmao.. swag? nah not a drop for u lmao.. time to go read a book using ur fingers to underline to words!

      Kendrick
      J.Cole
      TIP
      Game
      Eminem

      I don’t like the new bread of so called hip hop/rap
      2 chainz, wocka flocca, future mgk all suck ass

    4. Ghostface Killah, Nas, Rakim, Andre 3G, Pharoahe Monch, Common, Busta Rhymes, Styles P, Lupe Fiasco, GZA, Big Pun(R.I.P), Raekwon, Jadakiss, KRS-One-in no particular order. These are some of the best examples of lyricism to date. Feel free to disagree, but fuck you if you hate, bitches!!!!!

    5. Shit was all good til he said Wayne… I wish rappers would shout out some slightly more obscure rappers, like do mainstream rappers listen to underground rappers?

    6. 1. Nas
      2.Cam’ron
      3.Big L
      4.Ice Cube
      5.Jay-z
      6.Ghostface Killah

      ** REAL HIP-HOP FOR YA EARS TO LISTEN **

    7. wow tip your top 4 with the exception of andre are all commercial and yes we can disregard waynke cos hes wack as fuck and has made all the wrong contrebutions to hip hop this list is wack period i like a bit of em and jay but nas buries both of them in lyrics and if were talking all time big pun and tupac defently are on a whole nother level and seriously if your gunna have wayne on your list jus because he visited you inside your not speaking truth which is what hip hops all about if you were gunna have my list up there shit would be a whole different ball game i would have the artists that have kept it street and real that havent followed the new school trend and most importantly are still make hip hop music not just rapping over club beats trying to push for a number one.

      1. Lyricism plays a big part in Hip Hop but it DOESNT consist of JUST that. Delivery and how the rapper executes it plays a much BIGGER part. Nas is a great lyricist but he is mostly…boring. Thats why he doesnt appeal to as much people as Wayne does. Wayne is KIGN of HIP HOP!

      2. “Wayne is KIGN of HIP HOP!” what the fuck is “kign” lol
        and if you mean KING then your a faggot azz dick rida.
        You say Nas is so boring? Wayne is the most boring , predictable nigga in the game ,recyles everthing he say and that long drwan out squeeky voice like he suck too much dick is what makes him the most boring nicca in the game.

    11. Yall really need to get the difference between FAVORITE and BEST.
      For example, if I was to list my top 4 favorite rappers it would go like this:

      if I was listing best/most innovate and influential it would be
      1. Eminem 2. 2Pac 3. Rakim 4. NaS
      Seriously how can you get mad over a favorite list?

    12. Wayne changed the rap game for the best! He has evolved like everything in life does. Its called SURVIVAL of the FITTEST! Dinosaurs died and Primates became dominant. LIL WAYNE IS THE KIGN OF HIP HOP!
