GOAT Day 3: DMX vs. T.I. (Bracket 1)

vs.

DMX wins because I like his rap style more and he has a top 50 fav album of all time of mine. TI has proved to be more consistant on the mic but i'll take X best yrs over all of his. X is a top 30 fav of mine while T.I. is like top 50-100 for me.

I'm rollin with TI, he's doper and more consistent. I've always thought DMX was overrated. Take away his hard voice and most of his appeal is gone.

Good points kinda KJ but if you take away TI's cool flow most of his appeal is gone also. DMX is more my style.

KJ did you vote?

I'm with Kev here. Give me the DMX from It's Dark And Hell Is Hot over any incarnation of TI. I love me some TI though.

I know X is more your style. While T.I. does have dope flow I'd say his biggest strength is his subject matter, at least it has been as of late.

LMAO @ TI more consistent. Really? DMX dropped 5 straight 4 star or better albums, and his last one was a bit of a mis-step.

TI has zero classics, and no albums that anybody I've ever seen give over a 4.5.

DMX in a complete and utter RAPE!

DMX has at least two duds (Great Depression and Year Of The Dog) neither man has a consensus classic but TI has a better overall catalog IMO. Tip Harris all day.

DMX in a romped.

This, though I'm not sure why romp is being used in the past tense.

It's cause Tran doesn't have a complete grasp of the English language.

I figured that out when he said "so and so wins in the quickness" or something.

yeah, it's a constant battle for him. I'm rooting for him, but i have my doubts.

DMX.

TI

Really? Then why is it that on the Wikipedia page for the album, there's ZERO 5 star ratings for the album? Not a single one.

Well you know 5 star ratings from magazines and nerdy out of touch whites & blacks mean little to me. I go by the streets and the people who truly listen to this shit. And most I have talk to speak very high about this. I have heard it being called classic more than I have heard not.

It's Dark And Hell Is Hot is the only album from X that I give 5 stars to. I know I'm not the only one, lol.

Darkman X

Not a huge fan of either, but i'd take DMX.

Wow, TI so easily...what is wrong with this forum?

Only reason Steve likes DMX is because he's the only person in the world who rides Pac's dick harder than him.

TI doesn't have a 4.5 star album and yes I have heard them all.

DMX does not ride Pac's dick. They are two different artist imo. Only thing they have in common is no shirt and emotional lyrics.

Lol....yeah thats a obvious omission. And I remember in a interview DMX said he never really listened to Pac at all. He said Face and Jay were his fav rappers. Now of course he could have been fronting or lying but he said it.

X saying he never really listened to doesn't surprise me.

DMX likely only said that cuz Pac dissed him, but it's all good baby baby

When did Pac dis X Steve?

X started out with Jay... Nuff said

When TI isn't in jail he makes pop music for voyeuristic racist white Americans...

He has two in my opinion.

This is real close to me but I'll go with DMX 51%, TI 49%
