    Loyalty we go hard on earth

    May 11, 2016
    I thought I'd finally contribute something worthwhile to the Music section here, so here we are. I'll be posting a song with some interesting facts, trivia, quotes, etc. that I find about them from Wikipedia. Some facts might be well known, some might not. Feel free to request artists. For now, I'll just be doing songs I know and like. I'll also include a quick link to Youtube to listen to the songs (I won't post the video/song in the thread since I don't like when videos get taken down or can't be played outside of Youtube)

    Edit: click here to join the mention list

    I'll try to do a few songs a week if you guys are interested in something like this. I'll start it out with a popular one that everyone should have heard.

    Jay-Z & T.I. - "Swagga Like Us" feat. Kanye West & Lil Wayne
    From Paper Trail • Released 9/6/2008
    Listen • Source
    [​IMG]

    • This was the first song produced by Kanye West following his mother's death in 2007. Kanye had been wanting to work with MIA since 2005, while working on Late Registration.
    • T.I. wrote 4 verses in total for this song, eventually using the last one he wrote, as it "stood out (better) than the others"
    • The song was originally only supposed to be a T.I. and Kanye West collab, but T.I. decided to make it an "event" record, and sent the song to Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. He called the song a "very ambitious idea but a lovely one"
    • T.I. claimed that Jay-Z liked the finished version of the song so much, he wished to include it on The Blueprint 3, but it didn't end up happening. @Michael Myers provides more info on this here.
    • When the group performed the song at the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009, M.I.A. was supposedly 9 months pregnant, and the performance date was her due date.

    If you guys don't wanna be tagged, lemme know. For now I'll just be doing commercial songs since those are usually the only ones that have their own wiki.

    UGK - "International Players Anthem" feat. OutKast
    From Underground Kingz • Released 6/6/2007
    Listen • Source    s: 1 2
    [​IMG]

    • "International Players Anthem" was UGK's only song as a lead artist to chart in the Billboard Top 100, at #70. However they did reach #18 as a featured artist on Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'" in 2000.
    • This was the last video appearance of p---- C before his death on December 4, 2007.
    • The video, which takes place at Andre 3000's fictional wedding, features cameos by Bishop Don "Magic" Juan, DJ Paul and Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia, Chamillionaire, T-Pain, Fonzworth Bentley, and David Banner.
    • At the 2007 BET Hip Hop Awards, Kanye West won the Best Hip Hop Video award for "Stronger", but during his acceptance speech he said he felt this song's video deserved it more.

    Love how the beat changes to fit with each personality on the mic, simply incredible song.

    @Loyalty I did read somewhere years ago that it didn't end up on BP3 because of the autotune used on the song (would be kind of dumb with DOA on it). Not sure if that is true though.

    Edit: Swagga Like Us of course

    Like the idea, a mention too please
