yes and no - and again, I haven't listened to a TON of TI - I think he's obviously influenced by the east coast lyrically, but his production and actual accent make me think southern rap immediately when I hear him. he's more like the south's take on an east coast MC, imo. There's just not a whole lot I find to be southern about Wayne's style. I wouldn't pin him to another region, though; he has his own unique style.
