T.I. - Welcome to the World
Artist: T.I.
Featuring: Kanye West
Producer: Kanye West, No I.D.
Album: No Mercy
Label: Hustle Gang/EMPIRE
Aside from a random Rocko collab, T.I.’s new album has been shaping up to be pretty good. Actually, better than good. Last week we heard his Booth approved collaboration with Eminem, All She Wrote, and this time around Kanye West and Kid Cudi assist the King of the South on Welcome to the World. On the beat West and No I.D. set a dark atmosphere with a menacing bass line and unsettling piano loop a la Dr. Dre, but with that staccato placement Mr. Harris customarily spits over. His verse is full of stuttering flows and the cleverly worded threats that we’re used to hearing from him, while Kanye’s hook and verse address the shallow and naïve nature of the biz, and how many rappers fall victims to it. And there’s Cudi, who does his typical tenor chanting thing that I could frankly take or leave. Overall, this is the crack music ‘Ye spoke of on Late Registration, and maybe, just maybe we can get a classic out of Tip with the release of No Mercy on December 7. Hopefully, that will be motivation for him to really get his life together.

Best song I've heard off the new album. In fact, it might be better than anything on Cudi's new album. This song alone will get people to scoop up the new Tip album if they were previously on the fence.

 The minute this came on you could hear that 808's feel to it. Also like "Live Fast, Die Young" which even though it was a Rick Ross song, it felt like a Kanye one. This is the same thing but nonetheless dope. T.I. should of spit another verse but everything else was great. Nice verse from Tip and Ye, a banging beat from Ye and I.D., and cool hook from CuDi.

This song is growing on me fast.
On this song: T.I. - 3/5 Kanye - 5/5 Cudi - Can't really rate but honestly he didn't hurt the song at all. |

I love the impact that Kanye has had on rap/hip-hop as a whole these past 3-4 months, it seems that he has had a hand in anything that's hott...
Saying that, you can deffinitly feel Kanye's production here right off the bat, everyone on here was on point, which translates to a dope, dope track. |

Production here is INSANE. Lovin' the piano loop and the distorted snare together. Though KiD CuDi could've been left off, I have no real complaints about the record.

Yes, you definitely tell this is produced by Kanye, but obviously that isn't a bad thing. I've been looking forward for this album for quite a while, and I'm now realizing that it's going to be one of the last good hip-hop albums of the year. Interesting choice for an intro track.

dont know why but T.I doesnt really do anything for me anymore, if i listen to him through no fault of my own before the end of his verse my mind wonders...That being said he smashes this first verse and shows what he is capable of, Kanye kills it but didnt really like cudi on this..NICE

Now THIS beat is DOPE. T.I. has the superior flow here, but Kanye still went HARD with a solid contribution. Honestly, CuDi didn't really hurt the track at all, but I could live without him.

I'm feelin' yubu8's comment about B.o.B. I think he'd kill a beat like this. |

@DJ Z - I think your ratng is skewed. MAAADD BIAS I might add. I don't really believe this is a classic song cus in reality I'm probably going to forget this song a year from now. Its a good song but I don't believe everyone did their best in here. I'll give this a 2.5 rating.

Lately everyone has been talking about the freshmen. Wiz, Cole, Wale, ETC. but really the people putting the best shit out lately are Eminem, T.I., Kanye, and Cudi. The tried and tested persevering, @*#$! the freshmen.

This Is Definatly The Best Song From The Album. T.I. Went Hard. Love The Hook. Kanye Did His Usual. Which Is Good. I Don't Really Listen To Cudi That Much So I Don't Know How He Raps So Didn't Even Know When He Comes. Can't Wait Till The Album Comes Out.

@G+F - I don't think its a "classic" once in a generation type song. I just think its better than a "4" rating and I can't give it a 4.5 haha.

this is the first hype track T.I. has released in toooo long. Songs like this make me depressed he had to get locked up again. He and Kanye both went hard with there verses- and it's nice to see Cudi back where he should be- making sick hooks and bridges. Whoever told him he should be dropping full verses didnt see where he really shines. Great beat too, the tempo is perfect for the MC's on it.

I think this and All She Wrote are very close in terms of which song is better. Right now I can't make up my mind and this deserves at least the same rating I gave the other song, which I think was a 4.5 so...
