T.I. is way better than Kanye and Lil Wayne and all of these rappers on this list.T.I. has street credit because he is real, not fake like other rappers these days. They want to be just like him.T.I. is the King!

T.I. is way better than all of these wack rappers on this list. (Except for Eminem) T.I. can kill, no murder any rapper in a rap battle.

Way better than nicki minaj and usher. Nicki and usher don't rap, T.I. does, he is legit. King of the south!

9 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang". Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award.

No one can doubt that she is and will always continue to be and prove that she is The Queen of Rap and that she can go against the men at anytime. She never lets us her reign and rules all genres with her flexible, quick-fire, and creative flow! I enjoy her music and unpredictability.
