If You Like Mediocre T.I. Tracks Than You’ll Love “Like That” (Listen) Posted by Nathan S. on 05/15/12 | Filed under T.I.

Don't get it twisted, T.I. is still hands down one of the most powerful and successful men in hip-hop. Even after the arrest, re-arrest, re-re-arrest and re-re-re-arrest TIP is still able to command the attention of every room he walks in.

However, it's also a fact that since he's been "back" he just hasn't been able to come up with a song that hits in any way: on the radio, on the interwebs or in the clubs. His supposed comeback singles like "Poppin Bottles" and "All She Wrote" got scrapped along with the "No Mercy" album title, and his "Fuck Da City Up" mixtape didn't have nearly as much of an impact as you might have expected. In fact, for my money the best shit he's done in years is his verse on Killer Mike's "Big Beast".

So will new single "Like That" be the track that finally puts him back onto the charts in a meaningful way? Not likely. Feel free to call me an idiot in the comments below, but as high energy as "Like That" is, as much as I like hearing TIP back in attack mode on the mic, this just isn't moving me. I'll take "Flexin" any day of the week.

We'll see if it's just me in 5, 4, 3....
