T.I. recently dropped a video for “Memories Back Then,” with an all-star lineup including verses from B.o.B. and of course Kendrick Lamar. This is from Tip‘s upcoming Hustle Gang Presents G.D.O.D. (Get Dough or Die). Kendrick raises the level with bars such as: “You looking for the nigga with the tallest ‘fetti/ You overlooking every nigga that ain’t ready/ To make it rain on you like about to break a levy,” which elevate the rhythm that can be too flat at times. This song is about reminiscing about past boys or girls they encountered. The song was originally going to be called “Somebody That I Used to Know”, sampling Gotye’s hit. The sample clearance was impossible and that is why it will not be featured on Trouble Man.  You can sense the similarity in flow. Check it out!

T.I.‘s upcoming album is called Trouble Man, so no surprise there is a track entitled “Sorry”. What is a surprise is that he got fellow Atlanta rapper Andre 3000 to contribute a verse. This track is probably the best track we have heard yet off T.I.‘s upcoming album. The honesty in his verses, combined with the always on point Andre 3000 verse, mixed with the sweet beat from Jazze Pha makes this track a winner.  Trouble Man is set to hit stores on December 18. Enjoy the track below.

T.I. gave Fuse some brief insight into his upcoming album, Trouble Man, due out September 4. Later in the clip, he gives Jay-Z some fatherly advice for his new offspring.

“You’ve got to be her first love, her first everything,” he says.”So when she run into nonsense in the street then she’ll know, ‘Nah, my daddy would never do it like that, so this isn’t even worth my time or attention.’”

Well said, Clifford.
