T.I. Names The Three Foundations Of Atlanta Hip Hop

by Daryl Nelson

T.I. said that he, Jeezy and Ludacris have paved the way for today's Atlanta Hip Hop artists.

 

"Be clear," Tip wrote next to a photo of himself The Snowman and Luda. "These faces along with a host of others (that look like us) laid the foundation for the infrastructure/artistic ecosystem you know as Atlanta. This is our s*** and we run this city. Don't get it f***'d up. We'll adjust the temperature to make it as hot or cold as we see fit. If we ain't wit it it ain't s***."

T.I. is known for making bold exclamations of ownership. Like all of those times he claimed he invented trap music. This time he's being a little more inclusive in his flexing. 

Do you agree with Tip that he, Jeezy and Luda set the foundation for Atlanta hip-hop, even more so than OutKast, The Goodie Mob and the rest of the Dungeon Family?
