T.I. Reflects On 'Trap Muzik' 20 Years Later, Claiming 'King Of The South' + More 

T.I having dreads is still crazy it fits him but who remembers bald fade T.I 😂😂😂 Icon fr

You can tell that just like all of us…T.I. was a huge part of Charlamagnes life. Trap Muzik was one of the many soundtracks for my childhood 💯💯💯

This was my dad's favorite artist, he passed away in 2015 when I was 18 When the Paper Trail album dropped I was like 11/12 and my love for music was coming into full bloom, and I think Paper Trail was the first album I ever listened to all the way thru repeatedly, It was almost like EVERY song was my favorite song, one of his many classics I go to my dad's house and i'm messing with his stereo to try and get it to work and of course I go to playing my favorite album at the time. My dad walks in, hears me playing it and says, "whatchu know about that". And I look at him like "this is literally my favorite album right now" And that's when I learned T.I. was his favorite rapper, I knew he played alot of Urban Legend and Trap Muisk, King, but I never definitively knew that was his favorite rapper until that moment. For the remainder of the days God allowed him to have on this earth, our bond always grew stronger and stronger sharing our love for T.I.'s music. Tip is truly an amazing artist

I was 12 when "TRAP MUZIK" came out. I'm 32 now. 😳 "Be Easy", "Doin' My Job", "24's", "Rubber Band Man", "I Can't Quit", "Bezzle", "Kingofdasouth".....Jesus.....

TI definitely is one of the greats!! He deserves all of his flowers 🎉🎉🎉

Paper Trail still one of the underrated albums

T.I is probably one top favorite hip hop artist ever since he came out or heard his first songs. He’s honest, humble, smart, has street knowledge, he’s a family man and only wants what’s best for the up and coming Artist for todays hip hop. Just hearing the knowledge this man has to give is more then enough for you to tell that he’s been in this game for a long time and knows the business. God bless T.I

T.I. Is Not Just An Urban Legend...He Is A Hip-Hop Legend Who Has Definitely Put In The Work To Be Where He Is Today! "Trap Muzik" Will For Sure Be In My Rotation Going Forward!!!!!! #KingOfTheSouth #YouKnowWhatItIs

Shout out to T.I, been listening to his guy for a solid 20, he deserved all the love and respect he gets, I feel like he is getting his flowers as time goes on more 🇬🇧🇬🇧

How has it been 20yrs!! My goodness!! I can't still listen to his albums on repeat! Always been one of my faves!

Could listen to TI all day. He ain’t one them people who talks for the sake of talking. But speaks with depth

I honestly love when a true artiste visits a show and the host is so knowledgeable of their sh!t. I appreciate the appreciation🙏🏽 I mean, you're supposed to but it doesn't always happen. When you name, word for word, dates as far back as over 20+ years and mention specific material, even what the artiste is wearing 🙆🏽‍♀️... Oooo-weee, that's the making of not just a great interview but genuine professionalism ... Outstanding👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #RespectCTG🎯

T.i. will always be one of my top five artists in the Year 2005 I had a son that passed away and in my 86 Cadillac Fleetwood his CD with stuck in there and would only play one song which was "Stand Up" so for the whole 4-Hour ride from Kansas City Missouri to St Louis Missouri me and my wife fell in love with that song there and back and we dedicate that song to our son that passed away in my arms

My twin brother copped Trap Muzic and we drove home from college during a long weekend. I was driving the caprice classic 96 bubble. Just got a kenwood face off put in and some 6x9’s in the back and that drive has never left me. Shoutout to Ti and Jeezy!

Trap Muzic still in rotation today. One of my top 5 rappers. I can’t believe it’s been 20yrs since that album came out. I was in middle school then. T.I definitely is King of the South

I was born in 93 and TI/lil Wayne will always be my 🐐 s

I’m Serious, Trap Muzik & Urban Legend. That’s a dope trilogy to have as your rap album roster🔥🔥🔥

“Top Back“ & “I'm ILLy“ my all time favorites ! T.I. One of them ones who showed southern folks are intellectual with rap in their own style

Was a great interview with T.I. very well articulated. Thanks Breakfast Club!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

T.I. was my favorite rapper growing up. I would buy any magazine with him on the cover and I made a collage. The Jackin For Beats mixtapes were 🔥 Urban Legend is still one of my fav albums til this day. Glad to see so many others giving him the love and props he deserves.

Only T.I. Can come up to the breakfast club wearing pajamas and no one will saying anything 😂. Great interview!!

T. I. one of the pioneers of trap hands down

Great, old school Breakfast Club interview. TI is a legend.

You can tell Charlemagne a true TI fan 😂🔥🔥

"Ready For Whatever" is my favorite T.I. song shit hit different

There’s is levels for greatness, the grind the hard work always pay off… salute 🫡 to a legend T. I.

Still ain’t forgave myself is a classic

I don't think the entire country has heard the "I'm Serious" album 🔥

Urban Legend was his BEST album but Trap Muzik was my FAVORITE T.I. Album.

No More Talk is one of the best T.I song ever to me i love that song its deep

“Just doing my job”. Is the hardest song to me. Next to “what you know about that”.

ATL is always great!!! One of my favorite rappers of all times!!!

Trap Muzik is a classic. I bumped it 24/7. The South especially ATL took the rap game over in early 2000s, and has had it on lock since.

Thank you Breakfast Club once again having a Great Conversation with T.I.!.. I Love Me some T. I. his MIND is Beautiful!!.. I also Love the Brotherhood especially with Charlemagne and T.I. their Respect and Love Shines!..Brotherhood took place agin at the Breakfast Club this morning with DJ Envy, Charlemagne and T. I.🙏🏽❤️👊🏽👍🏽🙌🏽😎🥰❤️🔥💎❤️🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💐💐💐🥰

“Still ain’t forgave myself” still my shit

I started college in atlanta around the time he came out. He was big in GA period. He really been out longer than 20 years…to me

I remember driving my 91 chevy caprice to circuit city and buying that cd ... still have it great album 🔥🔥

Big ups to TI and his movement.

When he said “just doin my job” is my all time favorite! If you don’t recognize his talent for having a convo while flowing 🔥 he’s in my all time top 5 period!

LMAO…. Envy ain’t have Ish to Saying during that Real Estate segment. 😂😂

CTG... always comes through with his musical knowledge, crazy, Envy knows nothing about music, but he's the DJ.. I remember him doing a name that artist and failed miserably

T.I DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 5 🎙️🎙️🎙️

Still to this day my favorite rapper of all time..I need a Trap Muzik tiny desk, intimate performance but just on a bigger scale..And perform the WHOLE album!!!!!💯💪🏽

I'm Serious was an ill debut. A lot of people slept on it, but for an ATL artist it was original and lyrical as hell. "What Happened? " was creative as hell and he was spittin! I knew he'd be around for ling time back then. Tip special

Envy was real quiet when they start talking about real estate 😂

Favorite interview of all-time. T.I is my brother like we bleed the same blood at this point, how he motivated me through the early 2000s (I'm born in '92). The man he has become is great and I love to know I gravitated to a good man since I didn't have my pops growing up and he was "right down the road" from me (Me being from Augusta)

T.I.'s Paper Trail is my favorite album by him

It’s inevitable that trap muzic was gonna be iconic .. i highly tediously listened to this piece of art and studied it for my own craft .. i just want to vigorously give you your denominations of flowers to show that you mean a lot to the culture

That “I’m Serious” album got played so heavy in my car. I was 17/18 just graduating, going to the clubs and just moving out. Fun times.

Shotout to Tip who's career longevity has outlast most. This dude has been through it all, we basically watched his life unfold before us. We saw how this dude fought through it all never folded and definitely don't back down. People still want this man on their projects, to do verses on their tracks. Not only is Tip still my favorite artist but he is also one of my favorite hip hop performance artist. Have you even been to a live Tip performance?? If you haven't you missing out on life. If you wanna turn up go see Tip perform live, dude brings it!

🤞🏾💙🤞🏾😩 I love Scarface's "Never Seen a Man Cry". That song always did give me chills even when I was a little girl, before I really understood it fully, I just knew it was something special, because Scarface was both of my uncle's favorite rapper. Especially the beginning of the verse, "he greets his father with his hands out, rehabilitated slightly, but glad to be the man's child", those couple bars, that beat, and paired with Scarface's voice is impeccable!!!

He got a mean 20 hit songs for sure 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

that album King got me through Iraq, I played I'm the king on a loudspeaker as we went into battle, we wreak that entire battlefield I got 8 tank kills that battle.

Tip up there with his pajama shirt on and reading glasses lol. Its crazy how time fly's. Its great to see people grow.

T.I. a true legend and 🐐frl! I love that we can celebrate and give him his flowers for his many accomplishments! Much love to the Kjng of the South! May he continue to achieve greatness and spread knowledge and influence on our youth!

Gucci, Jeezy, T.I. & Future are Mount Rushmore of Trap

I've always admired T.I.P. lyricism, resilience, brilliance and business acumen. If I could have a convo w him bout music, business and real estate, it's definitely be between him and Shaq.

I’m serious and trap muzik.. two of my favorite albums of all time

This is so weird- I just started listening to his old albums the other day and remembered how amazing he is. Prob in my top 3 of rappers. He is UNDERRATED. He could school most of these current artists.

Album changed my life…. 24’s came thru my speakers and i became a Toomp FAN! They need to get back in the lab for the OG fans

Back in the day T.I. was my favorite rapper between him and Wayne. He was runnin shit heavy

Pajama's on w/ the Pajama Head (pause), cotton all up in there!

Atlanta still running 🍾

If you haven't heard T.i earlier work you wouldn't understand why he's mine and so many other people's Top 5 💯

I was in college in Atlanta during his start and as a kid from Little Rock this was dope to be able to witness. The ascent of Atlanta hip hop certainly deserves attention. I'm sure someone is working on a quality documentary. But it was very distinct from the rest of the south. These guys took and never asked.

man that’s my dawg…had the privilege of choppin it up with him at Trap City….he a WHOLE LEGEND out here i’m just a legend in the making and he spoke to and treated me just like he is in this interview. Long live the KANG

T.I a absolute legend

Besides 2pac T.i. my favorite Rapper especially being from the South. Rest up to Uncle Pimp cuz he was the OG of the South to me and he checked everybody especially if they repped the South to see how true they were. Lastly, I can't believe it's been 20 years since "Trap Muzik" another funny thing next year makes 20 years for "Urban Legend" too. Respect to the King 👑 of the South for holding down the throne and staying Southern Royalty 👑💯💯

Such a great interview! Char really knows how to interview someone! You can tell T.I. has been a huge part of his life growing up

When I got my first car at 16 "Trap Muzik" came out at the same time! Everytime I hear this album it reminds of those days riding in my purple neon 🤣

1:13 As a resident of Columbia, South Carolina, I can say that T.I. has been big here the last 20 years! I was in middle school then and remember this and Urban Legend coming out and you could hear the CD bumping in so many cars! He is a legend here for sure and so is Uncle Charla! Much love from the 803!!! Spurs up Gamecocks baby! ❤

20 years wow time go by so fast remember been a jit playing Trap Musik over and over on my CD player. TI def is on the Mount Rushmore of trap music he one of the original pioneers who built this. He deserved his flowers def the 🐐

You can tell C tha God loved this interview. I am also from the south and Trap Muzik help set the tone for a new sound.... FYI - i wish i could have seen Envy's face when TI was talking about real estate...

“Do it baby stick it baby” was my song!!! I spent my summers in Atlanta/ Savannah as a kid and would go back to NY with new CD’s

ALWAYS GONE LIVE! I most definitely luv and enjoyed this interview. Jus hearing Tip speak on his life,the highs and lows being so honest and and his story of how he came up in the rap game of how he started it neva changes...thank you for ur contributions to hip-hop Tip

I love watching T.I . Interviews.

It’s only right for T.I.’s first word in this interview to be “Indubitably” 😂😂😂😂

T.i. Definitely made my airforce career from 2003 to 2023 a proud moment... By keeping me close to home and the south even when I was stationed other places...

All of TI’s albums are dope💪🏾💯💯🔥🔥

T.i is definitely a Legend a Urban Legend no pun intended if you know you know only T.i fans 😅

Talking about real estate with dj envy sitting there must be very funny 😂

The conversation at the end was everything!!! I love business talk!!!! ❤❤

Man I'm from NY and moved down south at 16 some chick put this album in my hand and said he the future She was putting me on to down south music I laughed but then I listened and was like this dude can rap He get hype(still can't say crunk) got lyrics and some positivey sprinkled in Complete artist A urban legend for real

T.I. will always be one of my favorite rappers. And, the fact that me and him are Libras♎ makes it even better.

Forever a T.I. fan, he’s my favorite rapper of all time

That Never Scared verse put everyone on notice. Trap Muzik, thats when I knew he was Him. King of da South, just listened 3 weeks ago 😂.

Great interview! Love TIP! I wish he still had his podcast. I could hear him talk all day 🥰🫶🏾

Great interview, great commentary and discussion. This took me back to why The Breakfast Club became the phenomenon that you are. There is still value in doing quality interviews with guests separated from the talk speak that you hear a lot of times in creating what y’all have. The King did not disappoint… salute to the OG.

I liked this interview he didn't do too much he was great 👍🏽 👏🏾 and I can see the growth 🙌🏾 ❤ #kingofthesouth

Lit and informative interview as always with TIP. 🔥✅💯

I just love listening to to talk about his classic albums 👏👏👏👏👏

I remember when Trap Musik came out, it was such a crazy time in my life. I wanted to hear him talk about Bezzel off that album, that beat was so crazy and the verses were steller.

Was just sitting here talking with my moms. Trap Muzik the first album I ever remember hearing in her Neon 😂. Doin My Job one of my fav Tip records and I never knew Ye did the beat.

Love his interviews

Damn if I can relive some of those moments from 2000 to about 2006

I grew up in the Geto Boys, UGK, 8Ball & MJG era but I stopped listening to the South because I wasn't a fan of the whole 3-6, No Limit, Cash Money era. Trap Muzik is what brought me back. That's why TI always has my respect.

I'm actually here in ATL visited the Trap Museum and it was Pretty Dope seeing Everyones Growth in their own way but still being able to Add to the Growth of Trap Music.

He tha KING!.. NO DOUBTS!.. I'm from Atlanta..Zone 1..This man is tha Glue for tha culture.. Original, Motivated, Intelligent, and Black..Love his loyalty to our communities, He leads by example✅🔥🔥🔥

Maaaan I remember in 2007-8ish when I was 20-21yrs old, I was driving a ‘02 expedition, picked up a brand new set of 4’s to put on it…I must’ve played 24’s for a week straight 😂. That’s one of my favorite songs ever…been listening to T.I ever since I saw the video for “Im serious” on Uncut. T.I is definitely King of The South.

I like doing things solo... I traveled to ATL from NYC this weekend, and I went to the trap museum this past Saturday. I liked it so much! The staff was amazing. Why did I cry in the TI room and then cried again in the prison cell(triggered)? Other than that, every room was poppin, and they had the mean mother character😅 and a crackhead cousin character 😅.come through. The bar was poppin... the drinks were real drinks and the tall bartender with the dreads was high energy and hit them drinks like YEA! The music of course was vibe. I laughed so much with strangers, and those of us who could relate was talkin' about our own time in the trap(I'm nyc). What else? Cardi Nikki and some other females have displays. They had some younger rappers in there too. My dumbass tried to buy weed from a guy in there...he started laughing so hard...he said you want THIS weed?? I said yes...he said this is a display. You can buy merchandise outside...not weed though. He said some about two lefts...😅😅😅😅... we all started cracking up! They had rhymes in a display case...and the way the "sheltered" or "educated" people read the verses was hilarious! Word for word.😅 So yeah, it's an interactive museum...it was great!
