I see that the general consensus here is that T.I. > Luda, but could T.I ever hold his own like...

Skip to 5:30 for Luda's verse/ performance...

Maybe when it comes to albums and overall songs. but I've never seen anyone say TI was a better rapper than Luda. Look at their verses on Stomp for an example.

Luda laid his verse after hearing TI's....unfair advantage

My question stands, could T.I have ever HELD his own like Luda did on a track with Nas and Jada? Specially in those times, Nas fresh of ether and Jada killin features?...

 

[Rahlow]

I always perceived Luda as being a parody rapper and very good at what he does. Pure entertainment but T.I. content was more relative to reality and that registered best with me when the comparison is made between the 2.

So? Luda's delivery is what makes his verse better.

Eminem laid his verse before Jay-Z did on Renegades, yet a large amount of people say Em had the better verse.

TI makes better music than Ludacris. Luda was at his best making comedic music, now he's tryna be on his grown-up and no one cares.

 

[qawshun]

I pick luda over ti any day but tip did him on swagger like us.

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

TI would have had a way better verse than that Siamese twins bullshit. Luda got outshined big time.

...Jada was ill as fuck, and Nas was Nas.

T.I. held his own on "Grand Finale" which featured Nas, Jadakiss, Bun B and Ice Cube. There's also "Topless" which also featured Nas. Not saying that T.I. had the best verse on either song, but he held his own.

On a technical level, Ludacris is a better MC, but T.I. makes better music. IMO, T.I. makes better songs and better albums. That's not a slight against Ludacris, because Luda's first three albums (especially Back For The First Time and Word of Mouf) are dope. Personally, I think Release Therapy also had some of his best work ("War With God", "Mouths To Feed", "Tell It Like It Is").

I think Luda is the better rapper, but people gravitate towards T.I. because he's a "street nigga".

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Tip did well against jay on swagger like us

I think that's it...

And that Grand finale shyt, wasn't as hype or as competitive nor did it carry the tension that 'Made you look' did, completely different ball game.

 

[theBlackbeard]

Luda just lost touch.

 

[Turfaholic]

Pick a up to date Luda verse

 

[nickel-us P]

LUDA!

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

Luda fell the fuck off smh

 

[thatni99ajahmal]

Listen to Grande Finale with T.I., Kiss and Nas

/thread

 

[idoitforhiphop10]

Luda=Better MC

T.I.=Better Artist

 

[Stew]

If Im not mistaken TI just outshined Luda on "In Da A" wit Big Boi.
