T.I is having so much success over in the states so why isnt he releasing anything over here or has he?? i mean he has 2 songs on the 100billbord TWO songs thats really good. I mean i like a few of his songs and he sou nds like he could get in the top 10 over here im not a massive Rap fan but some of T.Is work is good
T.I... why isnt he big over here???
Paper Trail is amazing, My Life Your Entertainment, Swagga Like Us, No Matter What, and obv. Whatever You Like and Live Your Life.
Class album, but he's going to jail next year so I wouldn't imagine he'll be doing promo duties or anything

I am not a fan of his music, I think he makes a lot of shit records to be honest.
His very clever though, at getting Rihanna on one of his tracks, she's very popular and very big at the moment, that's why "Live Your Life" is getting a lot of airplay.
Just wait until the video comes out, everyone in the Uk would of heard of him, only mainly because Rihanna is featured on the record

As I have never heard of T.I. (or Rihanna) I doubt whether that is entirely true.

You're telling us you've never heard of Rihanna
You have to have heard Umbrella! in the words of Victor Meldrew 'I do not believe it!' 
Ah, is that the song that Geraldine McQueen sang after "Free Nelson Mandella" a couple of weeks ago? That was the first time I'd ever heard that song though, didn't know it was by somebody called Rihanna. It wasn't a very good song, if I remember right.
love T.I the man is HUGE stateside. His songs are catchy and i LOVE whatever.u.like. Rihanna is the problem with live your life- NEVER got the hype around her. Very VERY nasal arrghhhh

If you've never heard of Rihanna, then this thread is probably outside of your sphere of modern music awareness.
He's alright, nothing amazing.
Swagga Like Us is good, but thats probably more down to the sample, Kanye production and guest verses as a package rather than just T.I
Lil'Wayne is a good.

I love Live your Life and Swagger like Us. He's a good rapper, nothing amazing though, like everthing in todays Hip-Hop
I don't think he stands out that much from other rappers, compared to people like Kanye West, Jay-Z etc.
I havent heard his new album but I quite enjoyed TI vs TIP!
Much to my amazement, rap doesnt seem to interest anyone over here. We need a proper primetime mainstream hip/hop rap show to bring it to a bigger audience. All we really have is a few hours late at night on Radio1, unless you listen to 1xtra. And mostly they play D&B or dancehall.
