Vince Staples says Atlanta has the Best Rappers

Vince Staples put Twitter in a frenzy this week after coming to T.I’s and the Atlanta rap scenes defense.

The summoned Verzuz battle between T.I and 50 Cent has everyone excited in hopes Timbaland and Swizz Beatz can pull it together.

T.I’s been adamant about this battle claiming in an Instagram video “nobody scared of you 50.” Tip also has been commenting on every post 50 cent makes. He’s basically poking the bear for retaliation.

50 has yet to respond if the battle is certain or not but posted numerous pics on his IG clapping back at T.I. “Yo somebody passed TI the weed they gave smokey in Friday. LOL.” He then posted a video of T.I’s infamous crime stoppers video.

Atlanta Got Something To Say

While the two Hip Hop heavyweights clap back in fun with each other, another debate formed. Who would win the battle if it went down? For the most part, the majority of people have 50 winning in a landslide. Vince Staples has to take a moment to remind everyone of the greatness that is T.I and Atlanta.

Staples tweeted, “Y’all just be talking to fit in T.I. got a plethora of bangers, Atlanta got the best rappers ever and it’s not even close.”

Many fans disagreed passionately claiming that New York was the home of Hip Hop and produced more legends. He further explained his point by giving examples of there being “ten billion rappers from Atlanta and they all got a classic song and unique outfits.” He further explained Young Dro is top tier in wordplay but doesn’t even get brought up in being a top rapper from ATL.

The Long Beach rapper even gave Young Thug his flowers for having wordplay and being creative but not getting enough credit because “Thug lacks content.” Vince further gave evidence to this point stating, “y’all didn’t say that for Ghostface or ODB.”

Vince’s Points

Staples continued going back and forth with fans jokingly saying he has more NY Yankee hats than everybody coming for him. He ended his series of tweets by saying, “Y’all be treating personal preference like it’s the law of the land we gotta stop that.”

Agree or disagree, Vince brought up a few facts. What do you think? Has ATL been the resting ground for Hip Hop’s best?

The rapper T.I is set to start teaching the “Business of Trap Music” class with hip-hop connoisseur Dr. Melva K. Williams at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia.

Furthermore, French believes the best way for the students to benefit is to “understand their culture and create life-long experiences that will not only motivate our scholars but present them with opportunities to help them become globally competitive.

This undergraduate level course will cover the blend between trap music history and the economics of incline on being a staple in the hip-hip music industry, according to Billboard.

Together, T.I. plans to “share my experiences and whatever resources or information I have that can be an asset for the future. Drugs have existed for as long as humans have been on earth and music has existed for quite some time as well. The commonality that threads the two together is what makes trap music a dominant force in culture today.”

Additionally, the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) announced they will be honoring the life of Rayshard Brooks by giving scholarship offers to his four children.

T.I. states “We’re doing all we can as a community to uplift the [Brooks] family here in Atlanta. If something happens to one of us, it could happen to any of us.”

Fall semester classes and the start of this course are slated to begin on August 19th.

T.I. and Tiny decide to work it out.

T.I. and Tiny decide to work on things and take their relationship one day at a time. This was good news to me because I love them as a couple and it’s just a shame to see one of the real couples break up.
