King T.I. Makes History with Number 1 Debut
Wednesday April 5, 2006
T.I. may now tilt his virtual crown to the side with a lot more confidence, having attained the highest first week album sales of 2006 so far. His fourth album, King, confirmed my predictions by cruising past Ghostface Killah's Fishscale and Prince's 3121 to debut at #1 on Billboard 200. For many artists, it would normally take months or even years to reach RIAA gold certfication. For T.I. and Atlantic Records, it only took one week to sell a remarkable 522,000 units of his new album. T.I. now shares that feat with other hip-hop elites who have sold over 500,000 in their first week of release, among them Jay-Z, Nelly, Kanye West, 50 Cent, and Eminem. In addition to having both the #1 album (King) and the #3 movie ("ATL"), T.I.'s debut marks the biggest initial week sales for an Atlantic artist in the 15 years of SoundScan history.

T.I. is real but he aint the King of the South…
…Z-Ro is KiNg oF ThE SoUtH…if you dont kno bout him look him up.
Actually, I know a lot about Z-Ro. “King” refers to T.I.’s album title in that blog post. I made it clear in my review that I don’t see T.I. as THE king of southern rap. There are many kings in hip-hop.
t.i is all dat n a bag of chips n he is the king of tha sof caus it aint ya!
fisrtof all ti is the king of the south and he sexy as hell so all you hat’en a** ni**as can suck a d**k .
How about we take this debate to the hip-hop forum where everyone may vote on the topic.

This is comment is better late than never, TI is the king of the south he deserves all the recongition and respect of his community and peers he has proven himself to be more than a rapper he is an well spoken, educated man.
T.I. is the best rapper
t.i. is the best rapper eva.
Hell Naaaww! The Real King Of RAP can only be 1, and that is 2Pac Shakur. A definition of the true king in any form of music is one that music influences millions as well as his music lives on forever. 2Pac delivered timeless classics thats still listened to today. 2Pac is on the level of Elvis (King of Rock), Bob Marley (King of Raggae), Michael Jackson (King of Pop), etc… T.I. is a one hit wonder give him five years he’s done, no more songs…
hey sup all ya suckas just hatin cuz he made it and u didnt so go and suck young bunk lil flip baby d**ks iightpc3
