You Know What Tity Boi Proved Bout Most Rap Fans?

[georgia boi]

What he proved is that when you know how to market and brand yourself, you'll get much further than playing the background to someone that's already established. Combine that with grinding and collaborating with the right artists, and you have success.

What this nigga said.

 

[Lab Baby]

So... name change, better promotion, more exposure = people love 2Chainz.

T/S's thesis stands... most rap fans are hoes...

 

[32DaysOfInfiniti]

He got his whole persona together ever since he fucked with Wayne... Before he would spit, but had no character

 

[Brian B.]

so.. theres no correlation between him changin his name & gettin a lil more attention?

Im not sayin the name change is the sole reason

but, jus like I said sum folks wouldn't/won't listen cuz of the name Tity Boi

which sumone proved a few post ago

Up untill 2011 2-Chainz was still doing the Playaz circle thing with Dolla Boy, when he went solo he went into beast mode, do you think rap fans care about names when we got a rapper named Wacka Flacka Flame?

If OJ da Juiceman can get a "buzz" with that name I cant see why a "Tity-Boy" can.
=av2e

The only reason I started listening to Tity-Boy/2-Chainz is because i started hearing his features on everybody mixtapes and then his verse on "Money on the Floor" had me rollin'.

before 2011 he dropped "Me Against The World", "All Ice On Me", "Trap-A-Veli", etc.

all solo tapes thats jammin

so he been in beast mode, no need to throw Dolla under the bus

only difference is he goes by his other moniker

 

[Brian B.]

of course the main reason (I hope) for the attention is that he's been consistent since bout 07-08

but actin like the name change the past yr or so is a non-factor is ludicrous (yes pun)

+1

same applies to french montana's current rise. i think it's arguable ross laid down the blueprint for the kind of grind and eventual popularity seen by these recent acts. have dope beats, obnoxiously smooth delivery, and never fall out of character. pair that with the mixtape grind, and you have a commercially viable act molded out of an underground d-boy rapper.

*Bumpin Tity Boi since Playaz Circle post*

 

[OGClarenceBoddicker]

The name change means nothin, 2 chainz was and is his ad-lib, he been rappin like that for years.

When Codeine Cowboy, ridin round and gettin it, call teisha all dat shit came out, he was still called Tity Boi, and that was the same random, wild style on TRU Realigion.

I'm pretty sure he changed his name because the ad-lib was so popular down here and most people knew his ad-lib better than they knew his name.

Same way he changed Playaz circle to Duffle Bag Boyz cuz everybody was callin them niggas the Duffle Bag Boyz.

Yall actin like he usin the name change as a gimmick, nigga dis aint rasslin.

Yep after Wayne blew up in 07 wit that bananas ass style and crazy punchlines everybody started takin notes from that nigga 07-08 was prolly when Tit started goin crazy wit da punchlines.

I remember him from DTP compilation days even before that on one of Luda album skits before he even had a verse I remembered him for his name, cuz I aint neva hear no shit like dat. Tity Boi, so how could the name not work, it stuck wit me for years.

After DTP he disappeared, some years later he came back wit Dolla slow ass as Playaz Circle, some time in there he dropped his first solo mixtape Me against the world I think, he started rappin crazy in like 07-08. He was shittin on Gucci first writin on the wall mixtape. His punchlines just keep progressing.

I been tryna put niggas on Titty for years but niggas aint pay attention till around this time last year when he dropped Ridin round gettin it and call teisha, same time Future started to pop off and dropped Dirty Sprite and Juicy J dropped Rubbaband business 1, last summa was jumpin.

 

[thegodsmustbecray]

Im one of the ones who didnt take him seriously as titie boi. I would see links to his videos on all the websites but never clicked cause it seemed like some sucka shit because of his name. Then one day i see this dude named 2chainz and clip on the link to find out he is snapping. Then a week later i find out he is the same titti boi i had been ignoring and that he has always been snapping. So yeah the name change was the best thig he ever did.

well.. 1st

2 Chainz is not an ad-lib, its another moniker he goes by


"Tity 2 Chainz.."

& 2nd

the group is still Playaz Circle, Duffle Bag Boyz is also a moniker

 

[Supreme_Mind999]

Dope Production,catchy ad libs,catchy hooks,Some random okay punchlines,great promotion,timing,grinding,collaborating with the right artists is whats making 2 chains blow up...Oh yeah and signing your soul over to them jews for more exposure...The southern regions are musically diffrent than other coasts..they support only a certain sound.You also have to be ignorant,simplistic,or heartfelt to be felt by a southern crowd.U also have to have a thumping ass beat behind your raps..Southern ppl dont really fuck with boom bap..Ya'll have to overstand, 2 chains has a set fanbase..

 

[Supreme_Mind999]

Ya'll niggas need to quit hating on a mans grind..So what if 2 chains is wack..He's not WACK to everybody..He had enuff talent to market to stupid muthafuckas that like his music..

Personally? I fuck with a couple of his joints like K.O and letter to the rap game,overall? he says alot of corny lame shyt but thats my opinion..What he eat don't make me shyt

He uses 2 Chainz as an ad-lib and I've seen interviews were he's called the group the Duffle Bag Boyz as if the name Playaz Circle never existed, this was around the time when they couldn't find a successful follow up single to Duffle bag boy.

 

[BackInWhite]

shut yo dumb ass up, brian b

all he proved is that niggas love swag

even the niggas who say they don't but like him as a rapper can't tell you why they like him other than, "it's how he says shit"

nigga not clever at all
