And to that person who said makin mixtapes isn't part of the game , i got news for you;

If you trap and make ends meet, your in the game. If you trap and make Ks on a tip, then you still in the game. Mixtapes is part of the game man.

T.I. > Luda.

And tot he commercial comment

Goin commercial is more of a state of lyrics or mind to me. I mean, if you sign to make money and then produce some shit dats hard on the streets and still makin chedda, then u ain't commercial, but if you sign and make money and sit on yo ass and produce some lame shit like Roll out! (dat shit was lame, too repetitive and died real fast) den u commercial.

I'm not hatin on commercial rappers but listen to this talk right here: When you sign and do nothin, you thinkin bout urself. DATS commercial. When you sign and and produce dat fire, u thinkin bout ur fans. DATS street.

Street cred is more carin bout where u came up, and what hood gave you the reps (as IA would call it) that let you catch dah mainstream.

and BTW Ludas Word of Mouf was pure fuckin GARBAGE! PURE COMMERCIAL BULLSHIT, i mean I'd go to the store just to break that damn cd. Ludas Back for the First time is the hardest shit to date. I can't even rate TI's shit cuz man all his shit is hard. so in the end:

The guy 2-3 posts above me was right, but I personally believe TI is better than luda NOW.

AND to end dis.... we're arguing over something thats subjective. You can't get mad at someone because they like a certain style or flavor about a specific rapper. Thats just their opinion. Don't get mad when a large amount of people voice their opinion and they coincide and your opinion goes against theres. Thats just the way it is.
OK but ludacris aint no gangsta... so why should he act like he is. Ludacris is a star, Ti is just gettin ihs feet wet, hes just getting where luda was a year and a half ago. All music aitn street music. Thats a probelm eveyrone doesnt make street music. Man whe u sign, and the label tells u what they want u to do, u have 2 choices... meet that quota or get dropped and be broke. im sorry when u on MYv/bet entertainment tonite/ E? blah blah your commercial. because you are no longer gonna be out in the streets anymore doign what you talk about your gonna be a puppet for that label until theymake that money off of you. I dont have a problem with commercial.. because itas all about making money. But i think we all have a problem with our favorite artists changing up their styles to sell. I like to see artist go from underground to mainstream... like Mike jones..
