Le rappeur T.I. et la chanteuse Mary J.Blige en duo
Le rappeur T.I. et la chanteuse Rn'B Mary J. Blige viennent de diffuser un duo intitulé Remember Me, extrait de la réédition collector de l'album Paper Trail de l'Américain, sorti en 2008. C'est bien connu, le R'n'B et le rap vont souvent de pair. La preuve en est avec ce nouveau single. Remember Me, disponible sur le MySpace de T.I. , est le premier extrait de la nouvelle version de l'album Paper Trail du rappeur d'Atlanta, provisoirement intitulé Paper Trail : Case Closed, à paraître le 4 août prochain aux Etats-Unis. Il a été produit par l'Américain Polow Da Don, qui a déjà travaillé avec Will Smith , Chris Brown , Ciara, Kelly Rowland , Fergie , Usher, ou encore The Pussycat Dolls. Dans les paroles de ce duo, T.I., de son vrai nom Clifford Joseph Harris Jr, évoque sa peine de prison pour port d'armes illégal et explique qu'il veut que les gens se souviennent de lui. Pas de doute là-dessus ! En attendant la sortie d'un nouvel album studio de T.I., la réédition collector du sixième opus du rappeur devrait être agrémentée de cinq nouvelles chansons, dont à confirmer Like It Do, en duo avec le rappeur The-Dream et My Dear avec la chanteuse R'n'B Ciara. Les morceaux Out in the Cold avec le groupe pop-punk Fall Out Boy, On Top of the World avec Kanye West ou bien encore Hell of a Life pourraient également faire partie de ces titres inédits. Pour une sortie collector, en voilà une belle !

[T.I] I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics Articulate but still would grab a nigga by the collar quick Whoever had problems, they reckonsile they just holla 'till If that don't work and just fails, then turn around and follow 'till I got love for the game but ay I'm not in love with all of it I do without the fame and the rappers nowadays are comedy The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the argueing Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in Seems as though you lost sight of whats important with the positive And checks until your bank account, and you're about poverted Your values is a disarrayed, prioritized are horribly Unhappy with the riches 'cause you pis-pone morraly Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning And we might be full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we ?
