♫ HOT OR NOT: T.I. FEAT. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - “DEAD & GONE”

♫ T.I. FEAT. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - DEAD & GONE ♫
(LINK UPDATED!)
(LINK UPDATED!)
Our boys T.I. and Justin Timberlake have collaborated before on the track, on Justin’s last album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, with the fan favorite “My Love.” I guess the two decided to come together for T.I.’s latest forthcoming LP, Paper Trail.
I think this could still be a big song for the both of them. It sounds like it’s either produced by Timbaland or Danja, and it seems to have single potential. T.I.’s new album, Paper Trail hits stores September 30th, but until then, we’ve gotta know what you think…
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT “DEAD & GONE?”

I think it’s hot. Definitely single potential. I liked when they collaborated together for “my love” and this one is just as good!

Agreed its okay nothing spectacular ….i dont see this being one of those THATS MY SONG!! joints but looks like this Paper Trail is a very radio friendly rap commercial album…no hate here do your numbers
Timberlands beats sound way more polished than Danja’s or is it just me? Like u cant afford Tim so u get Danja…i heard Tim is like 500,000 a beat tho ..wowzers

Oh no.
The song lost all potential to do anything for me when Justin jumped on. I can’t get into much of anything he’s involved in (esp. in the R&B/hip-hop genre), and I’ve been a Justin fan for 10+ years. It rips the credibility to shreds, and I really don’t wanna hear Timberlake bumping a pure fallacy about his ‘homies’. Awkward.
It’s also strongly reminiscent of those homemade songs on some dude’s MySpace page that’s trying to reach 1,000 plays.
I’m not feeling it.

T.I. is one of my favorite rappers. This song is great lyrically, production wise, and the execution is on point. After JT bailed out on Janet back when the super bowl incident happend I’ve been conflicted about supportin his music anymore. He is talented, but thats always in the back of my mind.
I just hope T.I. has learned his lesson and is gonna stay on the straigh and narrow at least for his children’s sake. He’s too talented, and blessed to throw it all away.

This song is great it teaches people a postive message without T.I changing who he is …. U really need to listen to the words he is saying. We need to stop and think about our actions cause its gonna cost us in the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like JT, people try to talk about him but he’s talented. Been loving TI, I remember a long time ago I spent the summer in ATL with my aunt and everybody used to talk about him and I had no clue bc he wasn’t national/mainstream yet, he was just a local artist. He’s really come a long way…..

VERY POSITIVE AND TRUE SONG… SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE YEARS AGO. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE DEAD BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO BRUSH THEIR SHOULDERS OFF AND LET THINGS GO. DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO BE MATURE AND FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE. DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THAT AN ARGUMENT CAN TURN INTO A FUNERAL. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE MATURITY OF THE SONG AS WELL AS T.I.’S DICTION. HE PRESENTED THIS VERY WELL AND REALISTICLY.

IT IS FUNNY TO SEE SOME OF THE IGNORANT COMMENTS PEOPLE POST ON HERE ABOUT HOW THE TRUTH MAKES THEM CRINGE. PROBABLY PEOPLE WHO DON’T EVEN WATCH THE NEWS OR KEEP UP WITH CURRENT EVENTS IN THE WORLD OR THEIR LOCAL CITY. IT AMAZES ME HOW PEOPLE CAN LISTEN TO RAPPERS PREACH DEATH INTO THEIR BRAINS TALKING ABOUT SMOKING PURPLE WEED AND DRINKING PATRON TEQUILLA BUT WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT POSITIVE THINGS AND TRY TO TALK SOME SENSE INTO YOUR HEADS YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND IT. I GUESS IT GOES HAND IN HAND WITH HOW ABOUT 1 IN 4 BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T EVEN REGISTERED TO VOTE (36 MILLION BLACK PEOPLE 8 MILLION AREN’T REGISTERED TO VOTE… THE NUMBER ELIGIBLE (AGE WISE ETC.) TO VOTE IS LESS THAN 36 MILLION SO 1 OUT OF 4 IS STRETCHING IT). TO BUSY SMOKING PURP, DRINKING PATRON, WORRYING ABOUT WHAT RHIANNA AND BEYONCE HAVE ON, AND GOING TO THE CLUB I GUESS.

This ish is hot,it’s one of the hottest I’ve heard of all the songs that has been leaked,but I see we got some pure haters on this page w/ comments:1,7,14,18 ya’ll wouldn’t know what good music is you probably think soulja boy’s hot- I’ve been a fan of T.I. & Jt for a while & was hoping that the would collaborate again.-They definitely didn’t let me down w/ this one

I love this song. It is off the hook. I’ve been blasting it on campus, in my car. I feel it’s so inspirational for those young “cats” on the street. It really makes you think, and the lyrics are sick. Go T.I.!

This response is to K #14 Justin doesn’t say anything in the song about homies(He says the old me’s dead & gone) ,clean the wax out of your ears-Even if he did say it he’d probably sound better w/ him saying it than you
