Twelve years ago, T.I. delivered his sixth studio album “Paper Trail,” which featured the Ludacris & B.o.B-assisted anthem “On Top Of The World.”
An argument has to be made that T.I. During the second half of the 2000s, he was one of the few rappers running the game, with several of his later singles completely dominating the airwaves.
By the time Tip released his sixth studio album on Paper Trail, his place as King of the South was almost uncontested. And while the album featured mainstream anthems such as “Live Your Life,” “Dead And Gone,” and “Whatever You Like,” one of the highlights was “On Top Of The World.”
Lyrics Snippet
And now they witnessed all the glitz and the glamour
Catch us eatin' at Straits Atlanta with women with table manners
Ordering Singaporean lobster, celebrating coming from nothing
To winning Grammys, and rappers winning Oscars
And they say rappers shouldn't act — nah, suckers
We see Samuel L. Jackson, like, “Wassup, motherfucker?!”
