Swagger Like Us

Certainly by now you've heard the leak of "Swagger Like Us" from T.I's upcoming album "Paper Trail". So I dont have to stress to you what a huge record this is. I mean, let's be real. T.I., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, AND Kanye West on the SAME SONG! What could really be better than that. At least one of every hip hop lovers favorite rappers is on this song. Everyone loves at least one of these guys if not all of them. I think this is monumental.

Not only does this song line up four heavyweights, but its nothing like any of these other "Swag" songs we've been flooded with lately, i.e all of Rocko's songs, ummm even Blood Raw's "Louie Bag".

I would like to thank T.I for making this song a reality. This is something that rap/hip hop has been starving for lately. Not to down any of the other guys in the game doing their thing but think to yourself: When was the last time we had a song so real by artists that are so real and go so hard on their own regularly to come together on a track with an out of the box sample (M.I.A's "Paper Planes" [look it up on youtube if ya never heard it, it's cool])? I'm sure if we took the time to reminesce on it we could come up with whatever the most recent example is but off the top nothing comes to mind.

You knew I wouldnt leave with out posting it for you!

This song is most definitely fire & I'm especially pleased that my 3 favorite rappers could be on one song together & also I've loved M.I.A.'s Paper Planes song for a long time now so this is just great.

I'd much rather my favorite rappers made great music together than spent time on petty beefs.

This song is really the biggest major event rap song since the I Get Money remix.
