Head 2 Head with J. Steele: Ludacris VS. T.I.

Transcript

00:00Mr. Chicken and Beer himself, Luda, or is it going to be T.I.P.

00:05It's the king of the south, head to head.

00:08That's the real deal Jay Steele on 105.1 The Bounce.

00:17Alright, my man Ludacris.

00:18So, he technically came in the game in like, 98, because he was actually a radio DJ first.

00:23Started dropping albums. First album has one of the most memorable songs of all time.

00:27What's your fantasy? Now, let me say this.

00:29He has dropped nine albums, but I don't really know too many hit singles off of the later albums.

00:36However, but let's not discredit his work in The Fast and the Furious.

00:39That's keeping him, of course, on top of the game.

00:42Some of his most memorable songs, Southern Hospitality, Area Codes, Moneymaker.

00:47And let's not forget with Lil Jon and Usher. Yeah!

00:50Oh, and the man found his own record label, Disturbing the Peace.

00:53Gotta give credit for that.

00:55T.I. entered the game in 99. He's released 11 albums.

00:59He's probably most known for his song, Whatever You Like.

01:02But let's not forget the first song to come on the scene, 24s.

01:05He formed a group, PSC, that doesn't really have any relevance today.

01:09Don't know where PSC went, but T.I. still stay on top of the game.

01:13Also an actor, he's most known for his role in the classic film, ATL.

01:17When I start thinking of T.I.'s music, a lot of hits come to mind.

01:21Live Your Life, Dead and Gone.

01:23Of course, that's around the time where T.I. also got locked up.

01:26Came back out, releasing fire.

01:28Alright, so if I put him bar for bar, that's pretty tight because Ludacris, I love his punchlines.

01:34Punchlines are up here, but T.I.'s bars and verses just come off a little bit more memorable to me.

01:39I can recite an entire T.I. verse, but Ludacris probably only on his hit singles.

01:44From an actor standpoint, ATL, great movie.

01:48But when it comes to the Fast and the Furious, it's on a whole nother level.

01:51We're talking series that releases film after film after film.

01:54Not only keeping Ludacris relevant in the game, but also raking in the dough.

01:58But let's not discredit the fact that T.I. not only put himself on a television screen,

02:02but his wife Tiny as well from the hit group Escape.

02:05We got to see a little bit of the back end on T.N.'s family life with the show T.I. and Tiny, I think.

02:11Gotta go with my man T.I.

02:19Listen, bigger influence, more memorable verses and songs, and I would have to say his Instagram game is on T.N.

02:26Now, I did the research. Technically, this is a little surprising.

02:29Ludacris has more followers on Instagram than T.I., but when it comes to the culture and things that are happening today,

02:35you can count on T.I. to weigh in, and that keeps him relevant always.
