i dont know who gotta be the king, but the TIGHTEST out the south right now is devin the dude and k-rino, easily.
but theyre both such cool people they wouldnt want to be kings of the south, theyd give it up to people whove doen it big before them that influenced them to represent the south like they do..you know?
niggas forget about all types of people from the south who did it big...where was ti when 8ball and mjg were space age pimpin? what about when fat pat made everyone change they style up?
shit, what about lil keke? let alone UGK?
id give it to fuckin zro before TI...
outkast had a way bigger movement in the south, shit nationwide...let alone in ATL... cee-lo has always been one of the most intelligent cats out the south even if hes on that pop shit right now..same with andre 3000...go back to southerplayalistic and atliens..
to me, flip has a bigger track record to run with than TI. he was all over screw tapes with classic material. freestyling, paying dues to get big. TI prolly got his wife from xzscape to put up that "lets kick it" money for him to drop his first album.
and if were talking about record sales in general, then lil jon. or three six mafia.
