T.I. vs. T.I.P. Sells A Hefty 468k In The First Week
Even with all the downloading and etc. going on, big names still bring in big sales. Can T.I. be the top selling Rap artist 2 years in a row, or he has no chance with Kanye West & 50 Cent ready to drop albums? We will see in the upcoming months, but he has definitely set the bar high.

Blaze(#5 and #11), man, fuck! Why you gotta hate so fukin hard? Is the shit really that bad? You have a real fukin problem. A natural born mutha’fukin hater… I cant stand you bitches…
Blaaaa Blaaa Blaaa.. Thats all i hear from u haters.. He did fucking well. When u getting most albums selling 280K max in first week and then T.I drops 460K!! Ain’t that worthy of recognition? Truthfully T.I is less TRL and Bull like most of these cats! That deserves respect and if u personally are wondering how he’s selling 400K plus? i’ll tell you!! “He’s not you”.. so please grow some balls and a little integrity folks and give the man wat he deserves. Coz This game ain’t all about The Jay-z’s and 50’s..
Kanye sales will be higher he already has a bigger fan base

J’marie @>
Yall do not hate TI is doing his thing
CONGRATS T.I. or TIP or whatever he is this week.. I wont be buying CD but i like to see People doing big things.. With great power/fame comes great responsibility…. GOOD LUCK
Well propz to him, I dont really like his music as much as I used to, but I have to give him his props for doing so well in a fucked up market.
Not suprised. He had no competition against him (although I wonder how sales would’ve been if 50 didn’t push back his album? hmmmm. Maybe that was a good move on 50’s part) and he is realest commercial hip hop out right now compared to ay bay bay, pop lock drop, so krispy, two step, wipe me down etc… People BUY real music and download the bubblegum BS. Therefore, i’m not suprised. Congrats to you TI.
T.I. do not have the best rap selling album of 06′ Jay-Z had with Kingdom Come
yoooooo i neva knew a fuck terrible album can sell damn near gold in its first week well on second though game did the same thing then people realized how corny it was and didnt copp anymore this dude ti is gettn away with murder in the hiphop game him and lil wayne but wayne is way better than him all he does is be hype on tracks tlkn bout wilding out but lil flip fucked him up homie u too skinny to be that real come on son stop it already stop buying bullshit people
HAHA thats wassup…i figured this whole shit out….a bunch of hating ass lil dudes with myspace rap pages download every major artist and pray for their downfall…they think they deserve all the money and attention for their corny ass myspace raps…..I hope ya’ll aint black cuz thats too sad to hate on each other like that….CONGRATULATE the homie and get off the computer and go BUY ALBUMS
hope he continues 2 sale cause a couple artist did well they first week but then there sales dissapeared
t.i. is hot,
but im not really feeling the album…
im not a 50 fan,
but kwest and 50 are gonna kill those numbers…
expect like 6-700,000 each (especially kwest)
TI had best selling lbum of 2006,
on 1 jan 2007, TI’s album was only Platinum album released in 2006, (hip hop)
jay went plat in 07 biatches
@ #28 and the rest of you fuckin SHEEP….every black person doesn’t have to like every black person OR what they are selling. God gave us ALL free will. That is what makes us human. If we did, we would all be SHEEP like the rest of you idiots, just following the herd. All white people don’t like all white people etc.
I bought T.I’s last 2 albums and I liked them a LOT. I liked EVERY SONG on Urban Legand except for “Bring em Out” Good concept for the song, but didn’t cut it for me. But this one, I will NOT BUY because the singles he has put out so far are RECYCLED BULLSHIT. I like him as an artist, but I am just not going to buy this commercial ass bullshit of a record and I am a FAN. I even liked him in ATL suprisingly. Just because people don’t like something, it doesn’t mean they are HATERS. It just means the artist needs to come HARDER the next time.
And like the others said, we will see how the record does NEXT WEEK. Beyonce, R.Kelly, and so many other big names’ sales DROPPED the following week after doing GREAT first week sales cuz the fans buy it the first week and no one else buys them after that.
I don’t give a damn how much ti sells he still wack and the only reason he’s selling is because he has a lame ass retarted ass fan base and plus all the hype because he damn sure can’t rap worth a damn
Kanye to go diamond with Graduation. It will be the best album of ‘07 musically wise. The only reason Curtis gon sell bcuz its 50 cent. Only reason people buy the album cuz they think they gon get another get rich or die trying. I am not going to buy curtis bcuz i didn’t like the massacre that much. It was just ok.
ALL I GOT 2 SAY IS………………………SEE ME WITH NEXT WEEKS NUMBERS AND THE 3RD WEEK NUMBERS…HE WENT GOLD…PLAT IS ANOTHA STORY AND HE’S ALREADY ON SINGLE #2..3RD SINGLE BETTER BE THE 1 OR 50 AND KANYE WILL HAVE AUG-JAN TO RULE THE CHARTS WITH……….DETOX…………..ON DECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the last two t.i. cd’s been weak. 50 gon sell the most n i dont even like the nigga he jus kno how to sell.
i aint hating on ti but how can he sell that much and fab not even break that mark in his 4th week?! talent wise fab is way superior. well done ti but fab if u r reading this- get off your lazy ass and start killing it!
propst to t.i., great numbers for lackluster album and singles. i like t.i. for what he is, but whoever said t.i. is “real” music is kidding themselves IMO, he might be a few notches above these radio one hit wonders, but t.i. aint really been all that great to me since “im serious”…dont get me wrong, ive liked a lot of his music but hes not getting better as an emcee. but i understand different strokes for different folks….but if you listen to the niggas lyrics and not his swag…he is not that phenomenal, he’s not the king…he’s just another trap rapper with a whole lotta swag who talks more shit than most. he’s entertaining tho. psychologists can study this recent album for characteristics of the bi polar, lol.
@# 25 once again i gotta cosign u…ppl this niggran laps around other rap niggas lol and tha funny thing is his cd was out 3weeks b4 it hit stores lol so if shit never would have been downloaded it would have been 611k like everybody was sayin good job ti aka jayz of tha south….ps weezy is GAY
Fiddy will outsell T.I. easy, Interscope’s gonna force him to put out a top 10 single somehow some way before the album drops.
i’d guess ‘Ye will too, as long as he drops a coupla singles substantially better than “Can’t Tell Me Nothiiiiiiiing.”
and some people gotta stop trying to act like “true” fanboys and pretending I’m Serious is T.I.’s best album. granted i ain’t heard it, but by all accounts it flopped for a reason.
’sides, this’s the same people who say King sucked, which is just plain-ol’ crazy.
2 years? ti sold more than jay in 06? whattt
anyways, i think kanye will beat him
shit man i didnt think his album was all that. i liked fab’s album so much better maybe imma check on it again
WELL 1.. ERRY1 IN DA SOUTH BOUGHT IT.. DA CD WAS IITE.. N SINCE HALF OF ERRY1 ON DA EAST N WEST IS FEELIN ALL DAT DOWN SOUTH JOINTS, DEY ALSO BOUGHT IT.. DA FABOLOUS CD IS CRACKKK.. BUT SINCE ONLII HALF DA EAST ACTUALLY FUCKS WIT IT DEY DA ONLII 1S DAT BOUGHT IT.. N WIT DA FEW FROM DA SOUTH N WESTSIDE DAT BOUGHT IT, DASS DA REASON Y TI (MEDIOCRE) CD SOLD MORE DAN FAB…
the album is not as bad as everybody keeps sayin but, his beats are good (and sometimes surpass wat he really sayin….like on “Da Dopeman”…nice beat…lyrics???…but w/e)..tho personally i luv “Trap Musik” and “Urban Legend”..those two were hiz best imo…But he did very well in sales…i mean we all kno T.I. aint tha best rapper but, he def. isnt tha worst…its all about winning as he stated in Vibe..and he def. did last week with those numbers…i kno this aint a Kelly post but wtf??? she did like 80,000 or somethin….about tha same she did on her debut!!
I asking myself how he sold that many. The album was garbage and only 3 songs that are hot. “You Know What It Is” thats only cuz the beat is bangin. “Help Is Coming” T.I. spits fire on that track that should be the next single. And “We Do This” because its a club banger. The rest is lame.
King and T.I. vs T.I.P. = T.I. going commercial
what is going commercial? when u are on a chevy commercial when your cd is about to come out. when u are on sportscenter rapping “sportscenter poppin”. when u establish with your label before you come out with your album that u are about to try to sell your album to anybody and everybody. T.I.’s music was better when he was just sellin it to niggas who liked T.I.’s style and music. everybody who is buyin his cd’s doesnt necessarily like him anymore, but just buying his cd’s cuz he on t.v. he doesnt even rap the same anymore. paris hilton probably has this latest disc in her mazerati so her and her friends can act like a couple of “niggers”. T.I. goin commercial, and if u ask him he’ll probably admit it. did yall hear the mixtape to trap music, when he said he was only going to make his cd’s for niggas in the trap, or niggas who came from where he came from? yeah well he switched it up. i just call it how i see it. numbers dont lie. good for him he sold 500 the first week. big shit poppin, lil shit stoppin. keep doin ya thang T.I.
T.I. didn’t deserve to do them numbers his album was pretty average I still think Kanye West or 50 Cent will outsell him though.
Ofcourse T.I.P make good music thats why
im really not a hater…but on a constructive note…dat nigga t.i. needs 2 stop rappin…hes flow is the same in everysong…hes voice is annoyin…hes done
fuck this shit. NAS was right hiphop is dead. This cat drops a wack album and yall buyin it!!!
Jay-z still sold way more! ” It’s The R.O.C.” !!
I see a lot of people that don’t like Wayne, T.I., Jim Jones….but who do you like?? Who is droppin good shit, good enough to buy and not just download. Someone help me out, where’s the music???
T.I. 50 AND ARE JUST THOSE TWO ARTIST WHO DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING MAJOR FOR THEIR ALBUM TO SELL THEY JUST HAVE THAT IT SHIT!!!!
this is for blaze- you think tip is whack oh since he was the only to go plat. last year, gonna crush kanye, and 50 nobody wants to hear he got shot anymore time to move on like the KING so for all yall who aint up on this down south shit- northern rap is early 90’s dirty south takin over why you think all northerners comin down to do songs with us huh? example jay z fabolous, fat joe, jadakiss, diddy, ja rule all your so called lyricists jockin on us now you dont have to respect tip just his hustle atl all day holla
