[...] So, I had a chance to attend work the Dirty Awards this year. While I won’t be giving you a run down of the night’s events, I will tell you that I don’t really foresee a need for another show like this for reasons that I’ve expressed in a previous blog. [...]

remember, there is a problem when a king feels he has to tell people that he is king.

you made a good point. who really cares. plus it’s hard to claim the title when most southern rappers can’t rap period! but check out clmnews.com for more updates on the man T.I. and other artists

If the title didn’t mean anything why the HELL ya’ll talkin’ about it. THAT’S WHAT WRONG with our people today, always ready to bring the next one down. The only reason the title mean something is because TI made it mean something. When are brothers going to unify, and look at the bigger picture. TI has help to open doors for other young & upcoming artist. Every time you bring one brother down, you are making it bad for the whole rap industry. Pretty soon no one will respect or want listen to rap. Rock, Country, & Pop artist don’t degrade each other. Hell, every rock band ain’t great, but they get hella love & support, and they get PAID up the ying yang. So keep hatin’ on each other, keep taking a step back and see if the Labels keep supporting our rap artist. If a rapper have great talent such as TI, that should make other rappers step their game up, and they to can enjoy the fruits of their labor.

switching around those analogies Sickamore used a while ago, this’s Weezy’s big chance.

if Tip ended up bein’ the Biggie to Wayne’s Jay? Carter III‘s Wayne’s chance to take over shit. i got some doubts but having ‘Ye on his team’s gotta give him a possible boost.

i know dude’s on that Best Rapper Alive shit, not King of the South, but still. as for Jeezy unless he switches it up next time around i can definitely see him suffering from Curtis-style played-out syndrome.

fuck all this king of the south, king of new york, king of west coast bullshit. nobody is the king of anything. no rapper owns universal or sony bmg so they aint the king of shit. not everybody likes these so called kings some of yall are naming. i think the media and people who think they know everything about hip hop needs to stop trying to “crown” these rappers. rappers aint running anything

nobody really cares about the king of the south or any of the king titles but if you ask me why not let the people name you king instead of being self proclaimed… T.I. was never king of nothing he gave himself that title and weak minded individuals bought it if there has to be a king of the south it’s andre 3000 or face because the king title is not based on who is hot now but it is based on a career body of work and T.I. just was never on that level but he’s aiight…

there is no “king of the south”, that’s foolishness. If you know anything about marketing the south will play out just like the west coast. Music companies were desperate and grabbed a hold of anything new and fresh to encourage you to buy rap. Yes, NY is down right now but hold you breathe because trust me we shall return. How can you go from Beanie to little boosie, Jay z to Hurricane…c’mon now people let’s keep it real. The south came, it saw but now it’s going. going……..almost gone.

skills-wise, The King of The South = Phonte of Little Brother.

the top producer/DJ of the South = DJ Premier

*smh* at the majority of South cats not recognizing their greatest talent

FIRST, T.I. WAS NEVER THE KING OF THE SOUTH, THAT WAS JUST A MARKETING SCHEME TO GET HIS NAME OUT THERE. SECOND, THE KING OF THE SOUTH WAS AND IS SCARFACE BECAUSE HE WAS THE FIRST SOTHERN RAPPER THAT SHOWED VERSATILITY AND EVEN NOW FACE WOULD EAT ALOT OF THESE NEWCOMERS. IF SOMEONE IS BOLD ENOUGH TO CALL THEMSELVES THE K.O.S. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT MY MONEY ON LUDA OR WEEZY. LUDA BECAUSE HE HAS THE PUBLIC BEEF WIT T.I. AND LUDA IS NICE NO MATTER HOW MUCH STREET CRED HE MAY LACK. WEEZY BECAUSE HOW CAN U BE THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE AND NOT BE THE MAN IN YOUR OWN REGION?? AND I GUESS YOU COULD THROW JEEZY OR BUN B IN THAT MIX BECAUSE THEY ALL GO HARD IN THE BOOTH AND ARE SUCCESSFULL ARTISTS. BUT OUT OF EVERYONE I WOULD HAVE TO SAY WEEZY JUST FOR SHOCK VALUE IF THEY WERE EVERY TO GO AT EACH ON WAX.

Southern rap has to get back to basics or it’s OV.

Damn, T.I. Just… damn.

But that picture of him putting the turkey in the oven with the biscuit in his back pocket is actually pretty cool. Just a classic example of “when keeping it real goes wrong.”

Yo Garland, you know who would be a good candidate – if they weren’t also locked up?

Mystikal. But, well… damn.

Southern Hip-Hop is taking over the state pen.
