We know about Andre 3000, Bun B., Scarface etc…but as far as we’re concerned this is for the King of The South Currently title…Lil’ Wayne has always claimed the “best rapper alive” thing so he’s excluded from this particular conversation.
When it comes to rap skills, business deals, looks and over all Kinglyness…
Who’s it going to be????

Ludacris has proven to be more consistent thus far but he got a running start on T.I.. As of right now I would have to say Luda but ask me again 2 years from now and it may just be TIP.Its VERY close though.
T.I.P. all the way!!!!!
T.I. hands down!!!
As much as I love Luda, I also love some TIP and I gotta go with T.I. Do the damned thang playa!!!
Luda
my boy Luda all the way!
TI..u cant even compare them luda is average looking
come on now with that bullshit … Luda come get yo crown sir
I swear you lifers must not listen to underground hip hop….. TIP has been doing the damn thang for years and years. People prolly think he came out when him and Lil flip was beefing but he was out way before that !!!
LUDA has jumped into the other ventures before TI. So you have to give LUDA points for all that he has achieved, as far as lyrically, yeah my vote is on TI. But the question was”When it comes to rap skills, business deals, looks and over all Kinglyness…” so give him his props! Plus he has some bangers under his belt that when they come on in the club….everyone knows them!
wow this is hard one.
Luda is good for metaphors Tip cannot see him on that.
Tip has a good way of painting a picture when he speaks
Looks= Tip got that all day.
Business= I would say Luda for right now because TI made the dumbest career move and that is getting locked up.
Swag= TI all day. TI has the swag of a New Yorker or someone up north. No disrespect but the rest of the southern rappers have that real dirty south thing going and I do mean dirty.
As far as everything overall Luda has it. He’s more of a brand, and he keeps expanding his brand. T.I.P was or is or still can be on his way, he was doin his thing to. But Luda kinda got his hands dabbling in a little bit of everything. Also he has sold many more albums than T.I. While T.I. does sell albums his biggest numbers are usually his first weeks numbers. he has had very good success as a rapper but Luda has more multi platinum albums, in terms of sells, and he his more versatile when it comes to his craft. It seems as if with T.I. his music is kinda redundant. Like all of his music sounds alike, and something about his voice or rapping style after while annoys me. Luda just has a totally different outake on everything.
I love them both but I have to go with T.I. on this one. Luda is extremely talented in rapping and acting. He might be a slightly better lyricist than T.I. but T.I. has better songs and he makes you feel his music more. T.I. has a better swagger and much better looks than Luda. Even though TIP has made some very stupid decisions, he’s doing some big things to make up for it this year. It isn’t the end of his career. He has a clothing line coming out, a few movies and a reality show. And even though his community service is court ordered, he was doing stuff like that even when he wasn’t and you can tell he means what he says when he’s talking to these young kids.
I think in a lot of ways, T.I. is like Eminem where his music lets you into his life. Not many rappers are like that and are fake. T.I. is real.
like i said, TI
Ludacris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its ya boi Luda movies #1billboards and sold more records so as of now Luda is eating
Luda easily TI aint consistent at all he only has two good albums and the rest are below avg…
BOTH OF THEM ARE GOOD BUT LUDA BEEN SLACKING
T.I.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
T.I yes’sir
Ludacris is the most consistent rapper in the rap industry right now.
King of the South, hands down!
LUDA, definitely.
Ludacris is UNIQUE, he is one of a kind. He brings humour to rap music. The guy is becoming a successful actor, he has invested in real estate, he has his own restaurants, he has set up up charity’s for underprivileged kids, the list goes on….
T.I. sounds like most other rappers, and rap about the same thing all the time. He gets himself into trouble, then snitches. I’m sorry, but this man does not get my respect.

LUDA DESTROYED T.I. ON THAT TRACK …LMFAOOOO!!
LuuUUUDA!!!
luda is for phony!
NOT for real!
Ludacris for rippin any track and being consistent
TI is good but only has one flow and it doesn’t go with every song he tried
Hard to say because they have two different styles and both r hot but ima have to stay tru and say Luda
Luda in every category, except the looks.
luda all da way..
TI ……. end of conversation .
Luda is better because he did not have to tell you that he is dope…He does not sound like a regional rapper like TI..Plus Luda smoked the shit out of TI on Young Buck’s Song “STOMP”
This is not LIL Flip..You are not ready for the Major League yet……Please stop thinking you can mess with NAS as well..He will destroy you like he did your Hero Hov!!!!..better ask somebody!
Neither….2 short…ok mayb T.I. for his attitude and then again Luda getting that Hollyweird money so maybe Luda. Nah…Neither the are way too short LMAO…MAma likes to climb trees
and Aaron i totally agree about Luda not sounding like a regional rapper, which T.I. does.
OK I will end all of this NOW… as usual I have the most important and legitimate argument!!! Here are the top 10 reasons LUDACRIS is KING!!!
1. He has more hit records
2. He’s been in way better movies (Crash vs. ATL)
3. The other night I was watching the DreamTeam 08 play Canada and the camera panned over and Luda was sitting next to BILL GATES!!!
4. Luda has not been arrested for buying 99 machine guns before having to appear on the BET awards!!!
5. LUDA is NOT on house arrest!!!
6. Luda has a private jet
7. Luda has been on Oprah (even though Oprah sonned him)
8. No TI song is bigger than Move Bitch, or Throw them Bows!!!
9. No one comes at LUDA (the KING) but TI has to deal with 50 cent, Shawty Lo becuz they don’t respect him!!!
10. The main reason – Beacause LUDA has not been arrested for buying 99 guns in a parking lot and is currently on house arrest!!!
Thank you!!!
ti the hottest
I am just gonna put this link out there with a new Luda mixtape with Dj drama…take a listen and judge from there

Luda!!! T.I. got that nasty herpes shit on his lips in the video for the ATL movie
T.I baby! No doubt about it.
Business Sense…Luda
Swag and style (even though he most likely has a stylist)…T.I.
Lyrically though…Luda is an entertainer..I go to him to have a laugh or hear the witty shit he pops up with… but T.I. has more grit…more street..so I go to him to get that reality check everyone needs every now and then. Just OG shit!
TIP Harris baby! Hez what’s up ya digg!!!
