SONGS OF THE WEEK

Songs of the Week: Cee Lo's Arms, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, and Future's Rap Hosanna

By Shea Serrano at
Grand Hustle/Atlantic

T.I., "Sorry," ft. André 3000

"I used to be a way better writer and a rapper when I used to want a black Carmengia.
Now a n---- speedin' in a Porsche, feeling like I'm going off of course."
— André 3000

Three notes here:

  1. The one obvious criticism: I really don't like how André 3000 is TOTES ripping off Kendrick Lamar's style here.
  2. Chill, bro. That's a joke. Stay out of my inbox about it.
  3. By the time you get to the end of this song, chances are you'll forget that T.I. is even alive because André 3000 is GODDAMN TOUGH here, son. If you're a rapper and you're on a song with him and he starts doing that hyper-nasally sing-song thing that only he and God can do, then just fuck your life. You're taking that L, that's all there is to it.
