T.I. ft. Rocko - I Can’t Help It

Grand Hustle heavyweight T.I.‘s weathered one legal dust-up after another without losing a step musically, and won well-deserved Booth acclaim for his trouble, but can he earn rave reader reviews for a street single featuring the worst-reviewed artist in our site’s history (not to mention the subject of a singularly awkward Booth interview)? Never say never. I Can’t Help It is a straight-up swag-a-palooza (yeah, I made that word up), with Smash Factory‘s dark, piano-synth boardwork setting the appropriate mood for a celebration of gwop, the grind, and fine females. The headliner’s acrobatically-flowed cash-and-women talk should leave few of the Southern mainstay’s fans disappointed, and Self Made emcee Rocko... well, Monica‘s ex shows unmistakable improvement on the mic, dropping a catchily slurred hook along with his paper-chasing guest bars. Your verdict, Booth readers? Whichever side you come down on, you’ll want to keep it locked for the latest on T.I.‘s no-longer-quite-so-ironically-titled seventh LP, No Mercy, which has yet to receive a solid release date.

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on November 15, 2010

mathu Tastemaker Total Ratings: 319	Rating: mathu's Top Rated Songs T.I. slaughters this like there is no tomorrow... Only person who can match his flow is Luda (who I would've loved to see him on this). Yeah Rocko isn't even close to my favorite rapper but he just about cuts it this time

Run Away DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 22	Rating: Run Away's Top Rated Songs I didn't know what to expect when I first saw this feature, but as soon as the beat started I knew T.I. would kill it. I don't have a problem with Rocko, but I think T.I. could of done with someone else.

brewfan8 DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 7	Rating: brewfan8's Top Rated Songs Really really wanted to rate this higher with the great production and T.I. definitely destroying this beat to start the song, but I thought that Rocko really brought down the song
