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

[international]

T.i. wouldve been lost on Made u look. I nvr thought of him as a lyricist. I felt like luda understood the artform pre-release therapy

Yep, that nigga would have been like a deer in headlights, wouldn't know what to do with himself

TI held his own with Nas on Grand Finale

The 2 dummies above you have been givin plenty of examples already and 1 of them continues to believe in himself lol. I smelllll hate.

@icecoldstew, instead of having to repeat myself: "Y'all missing the point. Point is, T.I wouldn't have been able to have risen to the occasion to a song like Made You Look, specially with the east coast sound and presence so prominent on the track, Luda was able to step up to the occasion, T.I's style and capabilities would impede him from being able to perform at that kind of arena, he just ain't built like that as an mc."

 

[Stew]

Nigga have u ever heard 99 Problems(Lil Flip Diss)?. It doesn't get any more "East Coast" sounding than that. Ask Flipper how that turned out. U have no argument homie

Tip is a better rapper than Luda. Always has been and always will be. But I agree with the actual premise of the thread. Luda kills features, regardless of who else is on it and can do his thing over a gritty east coast beat, some southern shit, west coast boom-bap, etc.

But I never been a huge fan of dude. But not because he ain't nice.

Finally an objective stance on the matter. Propz for contributing!

But foreal tho, u think Ti woulda had a better verse than luda if he heard his first on stomp?

 

[BlackAX410]

Luda isnt all jokes tho IC underrates him a lor bit TI has had a betta career nd catalogue but lets not act like Luda was just some random run of da mill nigga, he has bars

 

[BlackAX410]

yall be sleepin on Luda man dis will always be one of my favorite tracks from him

People need to stop acting like Jadakiss is anything more than a C-List rapper

no Yeah I Rap, but kiss is wack to me

How is Kiss wack?

Kiss is up there with AZ and them in terms of emceeing.

what is there about Kiss that makes him stand out as a rapper? Take away the affiliation with Ruff Ryders and The L.O.X. and he's on the same level as all the other mixtape rappers who are decent at rapping.

Kiss has legendary songs and verses.

I agree he can't put a decent because he trying to do the 'LAD' formula.

But he can rap well.

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

for the trillness



T.I.P. allday!!

 

[Mr. 66Hundred]

Luda = Tip

these niggas are dead even and aren't even worth a comparison

Luda is a punchline rapper... you can hear the Redman influence in his rhymes

T.I. is a game spitter.... 8Ball, Pimp C, Bun B, and Jay-Z

they are different but equal in my eyes

I would say the only thing Tip has that Luda has is that serious edge

because of Tip's background he can sound gangsta and aggressive on the mic

Ludacris was a radio personality.. ain't shit threatening about Luda

I would make an argument that over all Ludacris always seemed like the more polished MC as far as flow and lyrics but I'm startin to think that new TIP could hang with the old Luda easily
