ARTIST: T.I. featuring Rihanna
TITLE: “Livin’ My Life”
WEB DEBUT: Aug. 26, 2008
ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: If making a song that forces Rihanna to sing a vocal hook based around the “may-ya-heee” melody from O-Zone’s “Dragostea Din Tei” is T.I.’s revenge on the Internet for leaking tracks from Paper Trail before its release, I am now in love with him more than ever. And I can’t wait to see the video for this track.
WHERE TO HEAR IT: Where else but YouTube:
And what the hell, just for comparison’s sake:
JAM
sorry, “Swagger Like Us” is still better
My head just exploded.
Jesus Christ, it’s like a black hole of autotune awash in a sea of old internet memes.
…look at that, it even broke my metaphors.
