He made the remarks in response to fans writing off T.I. as a valid opponent to go against 50 Cent in a potential Verzuz battle earlier this week, writing, “Y’all just be talking to fit in. T.I. got a plethora of bangers.” In a second tweet, the “Big Fish” rapper followed up with “Atlanta got the best rappers ever and it’s not even close.” Immediately after his tweet went public, the mentions in his comments section were swarmed by multitudes of fans who vehemently disagreed with him.

“They don’t rap in Atlanta they make up dances lol the best rappers come from New York everybody knows that,” one user decreed, to which Vince countered, “the originators of hip hop was dancing around New York City  in leather outfits.”

In response, Vince pointed out that “Young Dro got more wordplay than a lot of ni**as from everywhere and he not even brought up as a top Atlanta rapper.” When asked who were in his top 10 list of rappers of all time, he listed off “Lauryn Hill, Andre [3000], Scarface, E-40, Snoop [Dogg], Kurupt, Blu,  Missy Elliott, Kanye [West], and Young Thug” as some of his favorites.

“If we doing states California up there but as a city Atlanta got way too many ni**as and way too much innovation Atlanta got Big Gip!!!,” Vince reiterated. “That SahBabii just dropped, go educate yourself on Atlanta. Martin Luther King was from Atlanta and the flow was crazy. Stop talking to me.”

His remarks spawned even more engagement, especially over the inclusion of Young Thug who has polarizing reception amongst fans who find his unconventional rapping style too off-kilter.

“Can y’all define lyrical because y’all change it for every argument,” Vince wrote. ‘Thug got obvious wordplay but y’all say he don’t count because he lacks ‘content’ but y’all didn’t say that for Ghostface or ODB.”

Vince participated in a few more rounds of commentary before he said his peace on the matter after noticing Hip Hop Pages has reposted him.
