T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake - Dead and Gone

From the new album, Paper Trail

This song is interesting to me for a couple of reasons:
1. Last time we heard T.I., Timberlake and Timbaland on the same track, it was on "My Love". If that track was a person, it would have been beating T.I. in the face with a meat tenderizer. It was kinda ugly listening to him struggle to keep up. Not so this time. Tip done went and got nice. Thumbs up.
2. We've gotten to a point in music (and life in general) where it's perfectly acceptable for a former Mickey Mouse Club member, boy band superstar and Britney Spears cherry-popper to sing hooks about "homies dead and gone". Word? This new world is strange, but it entertaining.
