According to WENN, T.I. feels he should have received the 2007 Grammy for Best Rap Album instead of the Ludacris CD, “Release Therapy.”
“I had the album of the year whether I won a Grammy for it or not,” WENN quotes the rapper as saying. “I think numbers show that. I think that if you go out to anybody on the streets and ask them, they’ll tell you.
“I think that it’s a no-brainer. You ask him [Ludacris], he’ll probably tell you the same thing. Come on, man, who in hip-hop doesn’t know that? If you a supporter of hip-hop, who doesn’t know that ‘King’ is the only platinum album that dropped last year… that was platinum by the time the New Year’s bell rung? At 12:01, January 1, 2007, who had the hottest album of the year? I think it’s unanimous.”
Beef and tension is nothing new between these two artist. They had a fall out when T.I. called out Ludacris over an old disagreement their crews had with one another. Ludacris made a music video where a person in a shirt that had an emblem that resembled Trap Muzik, T.I.’s label, was seen being beaten up. Ludacris stated the shirt was a play off of Trap Records, a label owned by DTP member Titti Boi but the feud progressed.
T.I. later recorded a song, ‘Stomp’, with G-Unit rapper Young Buck originally featuring Lil Jon. T.I.’s verse seemed like an insult to Ludacris and Young Buck did not want to be a part of it. Young Buck told Ludacris about this and Ludacris decided to get on the same song and insult T.I. so his verse was omitted from the original track listing and replaced with The Game
T.I. referenced this in his song “I’m Talkin’ to You” on King:
“Had it out with ‘Cris but he still my nigga/ Sat down, civilized, talked about it like niggas.”
Since then Ludacris and T.I. squashed their beef. They been seen greeting each other on “MTV My Block: Atlanta” and both won two Grammys each.

Stop bitchin

I heard King and I heard Release Therapy... I'll just say, lol, that I UNDERSTOOD Release Therapy more... as in, I could understand what the heck Luda was actually saying... It's hard 2 hear what T.I. is saying sometimes... Lyrically, I think Luda got him 2... Luda be comin THROUGH on OTHER people's joints!
yup. and didnt jay go platinum before 07? or was that after?

Stop bitchin
i will eat your avatar like reptar!
luda is hot he is more lyrically then what people give him
I WAS JUST STARTING TO LIKE TI TOO!!!
Somebody sounds bitter...
Examples of Luda doin' his thing on someone else's joint:
Amerie - Why Don't We Fall In Love Remix
Nas - Virgo
Release Therapy:
2 Grew Up a Screw Up
3 Money Maker
6 Mouths to Feed
12 Slap
13 Runaway Love
I can't even pick a track listing off of King man, too many of them joints were sounding the same... When my bro accidentally left it in my car, I liked like, 2 tracks on that joint (that I actually had on repeat: I'm Str8 and Top Back)... so I gotta give it 2 Luda.
he's gonna win that one day...luda deserved that last year i think his album was better lyrically...t.i. still won one tho so i dont know what he's bitter about
Yeah Luda Has Been Throwin It Down For Years. And Now T.I. Is Callin Himself King. I Hate That Shit. Dont Get Me Wrong T.I. Makes Some Good Music. But To Be Saying Hes The King Of The South Thats Bullshit. Examples Of People In The South. 1Luda,2Scarface,3Outkast,Lil Wayne, & Ect Ect. T.I. Is Up There But Not King.
yo charismatic you forgot that
no 10 - war with god
that song went so hard the first time i heard it i cried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ludacris lame as hell to me i fucks with tip. He can rap but his whole style so animated the way he be over emphasizing his words and shit.
Tip is way more lyrical than niggas give him credit for. He is hard to understand though if you aint from down here cause he from Georgia fa real.
Hardly anybody that claim Atlanta really be from there niggas visit and end up moving their its best city down south.
Its still country, but got big city night life and shit.
im sure you like wayne...is he not too animated with his words? Does he not laugh for 4 bars & then rap 2? Luda has his own style, I hate when T.I. tries to rap fast, all his words run together & it sounds like pure shit.
Rapgod your always starting to like men you nasty bastard. This isnt a gay website whiteboy so stop the gay postings

TI my nigga but in a rap battle Luda got him. TI more on that Gangsta "I'll fuck you up shit" while Luda would imbarrass him lyrically.
Sorry TI but Luda's been doin it longer and has more success label-wise bringing out out other artists than TI's Grand Hustle
If it looks like a whiteboy, sonds like a whiteboy, smell like a whiteboy( ie PORK ) than your a white boy bitch ass homo
ludacris aint no g, honestly i think hes a fuckin clown that knows how to rap
u right luda not a G but everyone got a dark side so i wouldnt push him too far. T.I aint a G either he a snitch.
Stick Bubbles was one of the weakest rappers Ive ever heard and now that he's dead im supposed to be fake and say he was nice. He was a homo just like White boy Rapgod
Im afraid of the future, I respect the nigga who got shot. I respect the shooter
and you know what t.i a bitch too, because my nigga rick ross went on that nigga so hard on some old clip i seen on youtube, he insulted the nigga and pointed the pistol at him and said a lil freestyle about him, and he dropped a diss track about t.i(on that kanye west beat),and i aint heard t.i respond to that shit at all.that nigga just tucked his tail and took it as a loss, i guess he didnt even want it wit ross

It does not matter who is more street or more gangster because half these rappers who claim to be hood, never really been there, so being hood has nothing to do with the grammys. Luda is a better rapper with a better album. T.I is cool, but overated his shit sounds the same and he does not switch up his flow, he is boarderline good rapper.
T.I JUST MAD AT LUDA HE MOVING LIKE KANYE A BITCH
Luda be talkin about the same shyt! Money and hoes...what he got. How much he worth! He a good artist but aint got shyt on T.I. albums. Hes universal! T.I. has more hits on the King then Release Therapy! Luda hasnt been hot since Chicken and Beer! real talk!!!
"ludacris aint no g, honestly i think hes a fuckin clown that knows how to rap" dat202boi
that may be tru but this is hip hop its not the streets so all that matters is who can rap and who has skills...street cred means nothing
i love how dude is callen other dude a white boy like thats an insult... lol... like, how is that degrading? anyways, i fucks w/ luda and t.i. ... but i do agree that outkast shut atl down!
i give T.I. credit where credit is due, street wise yeah he may outdid luda, lyrically on the KING he may outdid Luda but overall in general he ani't fucking wit Luda.
LUDA SHOULDN'T HAVE WON THAT AWARD HANDS DOWN. THATS JUST WHAT IT IS. IF THE AWARD WAS FOR FUNNIEST RAP LYRICS THAN YEA, OR BEST RAP COMEDY BUT THATS IT.
The only reason Luda won the Grammy is b/c of that track with Mary J, those stupid fucking judges that know nothing about rap just give out awards b/c they "appreciate" Luda's attempt at making a positive song. And it was a good song but best album, hell no, all his other albums were hotter but even T.I should know it's all politics. Even King wasn't all that great, good but not great.
release therapy is a dope album, i actually listen to that more than king...they both good but Luda been goin platinum for a while now without ever gettin' a grammy before so quit hatin' on the nigga and let him shine...t.i. will get his shine too
SERIOUSLY...CAN T.I. HANDLE LUDACRIS LYRICALLY?
NO.
T.I. IS MORE POPULAR THAN LUDACRIS
YES.
SINCE WHEN DOES POPULARITY DETERMINE WHO THE BEST RAPPERS ARE?
LET'S NOT FORGET, T.I. BARELY BEAT LIL FLIP IN A BATTLE.
LUDACRIS WHAT EAT T.I.'S COOKIES IN A BATTLE.
LUDACRIS MADE A BETTER ALBUM; LYRICALLY, CONCEPTUALLY, AND MUSICALLY.
ALOT OF YA'LL CATS NEED TO WAKE THE HELL UP AND REALIZE:
HIP HOP IS BIGGER THAN THE STREETS
MOST OF THE TALENT AIN'T GOT TIME TO BE IN THE STREETS HUSTLIN' THEY'RE TOO BUSY REFINING THEY'RE SKILLS. THAT'S WHERE ALOT OF RAPPERS MESS UP. THEY SPEND TO MUCH TIME IN THE STREETS FOR THEIR IMAGE, AND NOT ENOUGH TIME READING AND STUDYING TO KEEP UP THEIR SKILLS. I DON'T CARE WHO GOT A GRAMMY OR NOT. FACT OF THE MATTER IS NONE OF YOUR PEERS WERE ABLE TO VOTE ANYWAY----REAL TALK.
TABARI
listened 2 both albumz, they had some hard jointz on them, no doubt
but ti should have won that grammy not luda, not hating on luda
LMFAO T.I. Spit harder then luda, Luda only went hard on a couple songs and mixtapes Luda be rappin about shit that he walk by and smell and shit
its all in what you like Gangsta rapper vs hip hop monster.
if you like hardcore,then your going to agree on TI.But if your not into the hardcore then you'll more or less like luda.But I like whatever is creative and by far ludacris is more creative then TI.I like the drugs,hoes and rims too.But it will only take you but so far in the creativity level.So please stay off the T.I.P of my DIIIIICCCCKKKKKK.

HOW LUDA BETTER THAN T.I CHECK TO SEE HU IS MORE OF A G LUDA WAS SUCKING WEN T.I WAS MOVING DA WHITES HA HA HA
How u know luda be suckin and how u know that t.i. was movin white because in actuallity there isn't nobody dat in dat ap game dat tellin da whole truth because t.i. ain't a real nigga he jus go at nigga he feel he can make himself look like he hard but u see he ain't went at nobody but flip cuz flip was the only nigga dat was lyrically and street wise under t.i. cuz after luda went him on dat stomp u see t.i. ended dat lil beef, and when rick ross went at his ass he ended dat shit (not cuz rick ross can rap but because tip know ross a real street nigga, and he ain't go back at jeezy either back in 01-02 (cuz he scarred pf niggas he know he real.
At da end of da day it's about being real.
what were the other choices for the award? i think Kingdom Come (Jay-Z) was better than both of those two, but i like all 3
Neither Ludacris trash "Release Therapy" Album or T.I'S overrated "King" album deserve grammys."King" had like three good songs
If you ask me, T.I. is just like Birdman, always rappin about:
Money/Things you buy with money
Hoes
Someone who died
Drug related stuff.
T.I the "King" had some good production, but some the songs lyrically sounded the same. Hell even production wise too. Only songs I fuck w/ on that album is "Front, Back" and "Talkin To You"
T.I needs to stop with his bitching 4real,He's sounding just like Mr West when he didn't get best video of the year...Numbers on the streets don't mean anything its whats up stairs in the company office dat counts.On the street yes maybe the people were giving him that love but thats not what the numbers said upstairs.Why can't these mutha fuckers just be happy that they're getting money without the hate for the next man.Luda is far more a better artist while T.i is ok,He might be the king of the south but thats it,thats as far as he goes.And when the nigga can start to rap about different things then and only then will he be a better artist...
he had a right 2o be nigga wat u know bout dat was hands donw da anthem 4 06 and he did go plat and fuckdat he desre it but da strreets still got him
Both albums were great in my opinion...TI sounds like not winning the grammy broke his heart...But I still like him
and dont forget Luda is a better actor as well
Luda- Crash
T.I- ATL
I think T.I will bitch when Luda wins the Oscar First
everybody keep hollering tip went platinum so da streets still got him no they don't anybody dat be in da streets know we barely buy albums of mainstream niggas we buy bootlegs and underground niggas the suburban kids(white ppl) are the ones who's buyin the album and another thing if he was a gansta as he claim to be he wouldn't even be lookin and cryin fo a grammy cuz everybody know dat the people over the grammys don't even respect rap music period y u think they don't even to bother dat part of the show
FUCK TI he sucks. he needs to quit bitchin and find somethin else to do, cuz rappin ain't it.
U RITE FUCK TI, LUDA WOULD KILL HIM, TI JUST SUCKS PERIOD HE DOESNT RAP RITE HE SOUNDS RETARD AND HE SUCKS AT DISSIN PEOPLE, NOW LUDA HE DOES IT RARELY BUT WHEN HE DOES IT TI CANT GET ON HIS LEVEL.
i disagree w/ dude that said t.i. barely got flip... ya wylen on that one. i will say tho, in a battle i think luda would get t.i... i'd love 2 see it tho... we never see 2 down south rappers (that matter) battle like that...
neither are battle rappers, but if they were to battle Luda is more creative and can have funny punchlines, but a battle would go either way
all u have to do is listen to stomp to see who is better lyrically, obviously that s luda, at the end luda says "nobody is thinkin about u plus ur beef isnt legit so please stay the T.I.P of my dick" like that "my bitch " song from game this might be a subliminal diss towards T.I, anyways Luda had been in the game longer, has had more hits, and i aint hating on T.I but his king album sounds similar even big shit poppin sounds like top back,
out bitches
- The Infamous Larry FResh
Luda is the truth...please ya'll kiddie wanna be rap fans y'all need to learn an ALBUM is more than 3 SINGLES and the rest ADDONS! T.I. is a hard RAPPER but Luda is a MC...LEARN THE DIFFERENCE!
Actually food & liquor shoulda won, it killed both these albums
TI has a point. "Release Therapy" was mediocre. "King" was above average.
Wat da fuck u talkin bout Luda had moe hitz then T.I.!
I GOT THE DSLIVE KICKING OFF SO IF ANY ROOMS NEED TO BE REGULATED LET ME KNOW. ITS YOUR FATHER BOYS.
lil flip is the king of the south and hes better than t.i.
Sorry but King was a garbage ass cd, im a big fan of luda but was not a huge fan of release therapy. thought lupe should have won. And I doubt Luda would agree with TI like he says.
