T.I. v. Blink-182

[War on Want]

Give me a call when Blink 182 puts together a TV show half as good as "T.I.'s Road to Redemption." I'm only a half hour into it and it's great.

Blink-182 doesn't need to have a TV show to beat TI in entertainment that isn't music.

T.I. is actually relevant these days. Blink 180-who?

Blink-182 will be just as relevant once their new album comes out. The hype machine is going to propel them unless it is terrible.

I wonder how he feels about Chris Brown beating up Rihanna?

...

Any reason why T.I. in particular ought to have an opinion?

I don't know, didn't he do a bunch of songs with her or something?

Oh wow. Forgive me. How could I forget his connection to her from one of my favorite songs of all time?

I'm sure he'd lay a beat down but with the fact that he's already going to jail, that might not be the best idea...

These blow anything ever recorded by T.I or Blink 182 away

Who has had the longer career of relevance?

[dead0man]

What the hell is a "T.I."?

A calculator. Awesome for playing tetris in math class.

dead0man is an old so he unfortunately probably has never experienced that joy

Dude, I had a TI-81 before you were born.

(note-I don't actually know when you were born.  I got mine in 1990 for Algebra2.  I never figured out how to play Tetris on it, but it was EXCELLENT for keeping common forumlas on in my electronic classes in the Air Force.  I still have it in a box somewhere.)

Ahh...I knew one of them would be Winter Wars.  Reminds me of grammar school when Protect Ya Neck first came out.  They had that video on repeat on the community access channel in S.I.  If you didn't have a Wu symbol on your schoolbag and all over your notebooks, you were a herb. 

I used to go to the same gym as Ghostface, and I've seen Method Man all over the place.  And Raekwon used to come into the liquor store I used to work at.  I remember he came in one night with the Escalade EXT and had me fill up all the tool compartments in the back with ice and load it up with cases of the little flavored Jack Daniels wine coolers.  He's a really nice guy.  He came in with his mother one time and introduced her to my friend. 

If I had to pick my Top 5 Wu songs, it would have to be:
1.  Protect Ya Neck (of course)
2.  Mystery of Chessboxin
3.  Triumph
4.  Liquid Swords (from GZA's first album)
5.  Daytona 500 (from Ghost's first album) 

[Eraserhead]

I think "C.R.E.A.M" and "Bring Da Ruckus" are my personal favorites but I'm not a hardcore fan or anything.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

T.I. is the king. Who has ever called Blink 182 the king outside of a bunch of whiny college kids who have bowl cuts and wear band/emo shirts?

Cappadonna just KILLED it on Winter Warz

Protect Ya Neck absolute classic, 36 chambers is just nuts.  When Forever dropped and "Triumph" came out is was just insane, nothing like that flow was ever out before and hasn't been matched since


More ill tracks

That is what real hip hop is, not the southern garbage which makes up most of what is out today

Yup, he's the homerun-hitter on that song. 

"Even if I'm smoked out, I'll never be scoped out.  I'm too ill...I represent Park Hill.  See my face on a 20 dollar bill."

"Gut you like a blunt and reconstruct your design..."

Plus, he's the only person who could rap an entire phone number and make it sound crazy. haha.  You reminded me of another good one..."Dart Throwin" off of Cappa's The Pillage album

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhbYpZepYSQ

Now I wanna throw on Kani jeans, a Carhardt sweatshirt, and Tims, and start acting real brolic. haha

Blink 182: 1992-2005

T.I.'s got more than a few years to go.

[MasterJedi]

Both are horrible.

[Boris]

last.fm stats show T.I. has 8,722,998 plays (337,935 listeners) while blink-182 has 51,652,638 plays (1,047,867 listeners). Last week, blink-182 had 53,092 listeners (#25 overall) while T.I. had 23,115 listeners (#156 overall). But rap fans probably aren't the type of people to have a last.fm pluggin so the stats are almost certainly biased.

Can't forget this off Raewkon's Only Built for Cuban Linx, every track on that CD is better than 99% of what is out now.

Those "stats" are inherently racist.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Who uses last.fm anyway? Answer: whiny, indie loving kids who would most likely never listen to rap. I would never use that piece if software.

Wait what's this about a new album?
I thought they had broken up, and gone one to bands which were comparatively, just OK.
