King Harris believes that his father T.I. can take out a few notable rap heavyweights in a battle.

The rapper sat with comedian and podcaster Ty Duncan on Duncan's show Trippin With Ty, posted on Tuesday (November 11), and around the 38-minute mark, Harris declared his father a "different breed" than most rappers.

"It takes a lot to be doing that shit for so long," Harris told Duncan. That n***a could drop a hit album to this day."

After commending T.I.'s lyrics, wordplay and delivery, Harris mentioned Lil Wayne as the only rapper that his father could go head-to-head with. T.I. and Weezy have collaborated on songs "Swagga Like Us" and "Wit Me."

Duncan also threw Jeezy's name into the discussion, but Harris shared his belief that T.I. could annihilate the Thug Motivation 101 artist.

"I mean it would be a good battle, but I mean he's going to beat Jeezy," Harris said. "He'll beat Jesus and Gucci [Mane] together."

Which urged to name a lineup of songs that T.I. could pull out in a battle, Harris named his dad's biggest hits like "Live Ya Life," "Swagga Like Us" and "Blurred Lines."

"You got to look at all this shit when you say Tip. You know what I'm saying? It's a mean catalog," Harris said.

While Harris' opinion might be a stretch to some, he's come a long way from comparing his relationship with T.I. to the strain between Ghost and Tariq from crime drama Power.
