TI Gets Call From Jay-z Over His Top 50 Rapper List! Our Raw Opinion On Kanye's Album & More!

T.I's position in the public eye has reached new heights, fueled by his role on Netflix's wildly popular Rhythm & Flow. Not to mention ExpediTItiously, which finds the Troubleman holding it down with a weekly hip-hop centric podcast. Now, the Atlanta legend has taken a swing by The Breakfast Club to reflect on some of his recent endeavors. First off, he reflects on his viral "Top 50 Rappers" list, which led to a phone call from both Killer Mike and Jay-Z.

Though Mike seemed happy to be "in last place on first-class," Hov seemed interested in his placement at number two behind Pac. "We were talking about something completely unrelated, and he said "oh, by the way," laughs T.I. "You really believe that?" Tip stood by his decision, maintaining Hov as "the greatest rapper alive. Over time, he's eventually going to assume that position." He compares Pac to the "hip-hop Michael Jackson," stressing that Pac's name will ring bells on a global scale while Jay hasn't quite accomplished that level of recognizability.
