Eh, I thought this was produced by Danja, turns out to be Drummaboy  :'(

Another weak track, I had really high expectations after No Matter What but this track and the Swizzy might indicate that we'll get another T.I. vs. T.I.P.

I could have sworn TI said this was Danja, weird that it's Drumma Boy :-\

The beat is pretty hot but not really feeling the hook - I really hope TI doesnt release this as the next single - this would not blow up at all. I am definitely disappointed with this track. Not that its bad, but I expected some fast pace banging shit and it aint that at all

T.I. should DEFINITELY release "Swing Your Rag" as the next single.

Meho: I wouldn't worry if i was u - the 2 tracks your talking bout are 2 of the very few mainstream sounding tracks he's gonna have on the album. Your opinion will likely change when u hear "my life, your entertainment" "collect call" "you aint saying nothing" etc and other songs he talked about being on some real substance shit.

Personally What's Up, What's Happening >>>> Louis Rag, they're both hot but IMO that beat sounds like every other Swizz production, and it's obvious Tip was tryna recreate Bring Em Out

"we do a song together, maybe then we could beat him"
"somehow he must be stopped, something must be done"
"lf we cant knock him off, lets just try him when he got caught with guns"
"then he'll be really done, and we really won"
any more ideas, some suggestions anyone?
"how bout we stay up all nite"

Yea Im feelin this more than Louie Rag, too. Louie Rag is cool, but its just the average Swizz Beats production with TI on it. Watch this grow on niggas tho. Look at what its doin to Luney right now.

kissin ass then, jumpin back now,
i checked ya ass then, i shut cha ass down
and i deliver front center never back down
who get the last laugh now sucker n*gga?

verse 2:
got a front street swag and a side street hustle
center hill, ceter ave thats where i be sucker
south grand, church street, the first with the work
we can get it to commercial, if u need somethin, chirp me
who i care about u askin sayin they aint heard of me
im certified certainly, them videos aint hurtin me
i still ride with the window rolled down,
all around the a-town
like it's finna go down
if it was ever any questions, n*ggas finna know now
wont retire my throne or surrender no crown
i never bow down and never say bye (?)
to whom it may concern and who so ever may try
im forever west side, and them featherweight guys
tell them take they best shot, gon get cha'self out
cause i yell bankhead and u felt left out?
i aint mention ya name, thats what all this bout?

verse 3:
from summer hill to the hills all the way up in holly wood
a house full gettin to it, u know how we do it
ya we smoke great and we drink good
then we ball hard just like d's (?) should
buy what we want, drive what we want
g-4 up up and away, we fly where we want
haters smile like they like it when they really dont
wish they could just wish me away, thats what they really want
im'a bring the haters out, "i dont like him either"

T.I for the most part is a weak rapper but with a unique voice and an obvious confidence and swagger which obviously appeals to many people. I am not hating at all but this guy is not a lyricist, sure no matter is dope as fuck but it's a joke when people debate if this guy has more skills than Ludacris.
