$V The entire music industry's record sales are weak now compared to where they used to be...but for T.I. to be a bar raiser, I doubt. Ludacris has sold twice as much (I think). Drake is overrated but he has association, marketing, and some dope singles on his side...which is what rap is these days...otherwise guys like Nas would sell way more - if it was about the content. But I feel you though...
