T.I. Still Tight Over Not Winning A Grammy

Accoridng to WENN, T.I. recently stated:

“I had the album of the year whether I won a Grammy for it or not.I think numbers show that. I think that if you go out to anybody on the streets and ask them, they’ll tell you.”     

“I think that it’s a no-brainer. You ask him [Ludacris], he’ll probably tell you the same thing. Come on, man, who in hip-hop doesn’t know that? If you a supporter of hip-hop, who doesn’t know that ‘King’ is the only platinum album that dropped last year… that was platinum by the time the New Year’s bell rung? At 12:01, January 1, 2007, who had the hottest album of the year? I think it’s unanimous.”      

A lot of people agree with T.I. but there is nothing you can do about it now. You can only work to win the award this year, which will be very very hard to do.

    I dunt think it will be that hard really…TI can still kill the competition if he want to

  2. KineticDre Says:

    TI is a fucking idiot. What does sales have to do with the best album? I’m not even saying it was or wasn’t the best album but sales has nothing to do with it.

  3. KEENO Says:

    i’m sure kingdom come was platinum by then even tho it came out at nearly the end of the yr

  4. H Deezy Says:

    In my opinion it was da best fa 06. Unless I’m missing sumbody it was da only COMPLETE album released last year.

  5. OLA Says:

    well neither T.I. nor Luda’s albums were even that great i kinda look at it like this, T.I. had 2 HUGE monster singles back 2 back “what you know” and “why u wanna” that should constitute 4 something. luda never really had a huge single 2 help bring attention to his album. “Money Maker” got play but eventually just fizzled out. while T.I’s first 2 singles got played 2 the point of ad nauseum and for that i think T.I shouldve won the award. plus i think it was kinda messed up that Luda heard Saigon’s song and pretty much swagger jacked the entire thing (if not copy it word 4 word) and called it “Runaway Love” and take all the credit 4 it. that song is prolly why Luda got the grammy in the 1st place so actually Saigon shouldve gotten that award. regardless if i had 2 choose between T.I’s album and Luda’s album, id choose neither and choose “Kingdom Come” instead

    men T.I is ass. fuck that nigga. fuck him with an aids dick. this fag really thinks hes tha king of tha south. when i cud name so many MCs who are way better. neither of then deserved the grammy any way. i don see why he trippin tho, cuz i don think tha grammy knows hip hop very well to be able to award a good album.

  7. Murda Ma$$ Says:

    TI is wack

  8. OHPLEEZE!!!! Says:

    I agree with T.I!!! Urban Legand was a GREAT album too IMO. I like Luda, but after Red Light District and the last album, I am not such a strong fan anymore.

    But, T.I. can’t do shit about it now but try harder next time so stop whinning because it’s NOT gangsta!!!

  9. Mi Mi Says:

    TIP MOS DEF SHOULDV’E GOTTEN A GRAMMY FOR URBAN LEGEND….I’m with him on that. That CD was a great look for 06.

  10. JDUBB Says:

    therevis a deadline on which albums can be nominated, I think the cut off is albums that came out after september. those items will be up for awards next year. Kingdom Come came out end of November.

  11. OLA Says:

    wut are u talkin bout ti album “king” came out way before sept. it came out like march or april of that year so it was eligible 4 nomination which it got but lost 2 luda who swagger jacked saigon’s album…..luda give saigon his award nigga

  12. TELE Says:

    LUPE FIASCO HAD THE BEST HIP-HOP ALBUM LAST YEAR.

  13. NEPSONE Says:

    TI IS WACk. LUDA ALREADY DESTROYED HIM ONCE. DOES HE WANT A REPEAT!
    AND PERSONALLY I THINK LUPE AND GHOSTFACE HAD BETTER ALBUMS.

    AT LEAST I CAN SAY LUDA DESERVES IT FOR BEIGN CONSISTANT.

    LUDA …WAYNE…..FACEOFF way more like the king of the south..

  14. nycity goon Says:

    killa season waz the best album of 06

  15. vigorous Says:

    T.I. IS A WACK-ASS RAPPER…..SUMBODY PLEASE REMIND HIM THAT, I NEVER LIKED THIS GUY…HE’S TRASH

  16. JDUBB Says:

    I was responding to the person who said kingdom come should have won. I know KING came out in March.

  17. imdatnucca Says:

  18. OLA Says:

    @ #13 NYCITY GOON

    “killa season waz the best album of 06″

    HAHAHHHAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  19. Southern Soverign Says:

    plus i think it was kinda messed up that Luda heard Saigon’s song and pretty much swagger jacked the entire thing (if not copy it word 4 word) and called it “Runaway Love” and take all the credit 4 it.-OLA

    ^^^completely wrong. There were interviews with Luda talking about his song long before saigons’ ever came(early 05). Cause he also stated that he wanted Spike Lee to direct his video. So nobody swagger jacked anybody, because luda more than likely recorded it first but saigons came out first.

  20. GLOCK Says:

    MAN, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE. THIS DUDE IS ANOTHER SOUTHERN OVERATED ARTIST. THE FAGGOT CALLS HIMSELF KING OF THE SOUTH BUT HE CANT HOLD A TORCH TO UGK, SCARFACE, OR OUTKAST. SALES DON’T EQUAL GREAT ALBUMS, AND THEY DON’T EQUAL GRAMMIES EITHER. SHIT, VANILLA ICE WENT PLAT, GUESS HE WAS THE KING BACK THEN. YOU AINT SELL LIKE THAT BEFORE, ITS ONLY EVIDENT BECAUSE OF THE RECENT DECLINE IN SALES. IF IT WASN’T FOR THAT TI’S SALES WOULD BE AVERAGE FOR A SUCCESSFUL ARTIST.

  21. talib Says:

    T.I is pure garbage

  22. C Buck Says:

    LUPE FIASCO HAD BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR…. easy

  23. Star1 Says:

    Lupe’s album was the best of 06 i dont know how luda got that award.

  24. GLOCK Says:

    LUPE SHITS ON THIS NIGGA TI. GHOSTFACE SHITS ON THIS NIGGA, THEY BOTH HAD BETTER ALBUMS.

  25. denver nuggets Says:

  28. Jamie..... Says:

  29. REal Says:
