Swagger Like Us
My current favorite song: "Swagger Like Us" by T.I. featuring Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Lil' Wayne. Production is by Kanye West using a brilliant sample from M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes". Everybody is bringing they're A-game. Ironically, although T.I. is solid, his style is distinctly different from Jay, Ye, and Wayne's sing-song delivery. T.I.'s more 2pac or Nas with a tighter rhythmic delivery and solid introspective lyrics. The rest just bring it with tons of melodic attitude and word play. Hearing this makes me feel like the trio of Jay-Z, Kanye, and Lil' Wayne would be the penultimate hip-hip group. They complement each other perfectly.
Ignore the fake video... it's all about the music.
