25. “Welcome To The World”
T.I.
No Mercy
Grand Hustle/Atlantic
Ahh, yes. The top 25. Crème de la crème. And what an unlikely candidate we have here. T.I.’s tremendously overlooked and underrated 2010 album—which will be remembered more for the LP that was released during T.I.’s second stint in jail, rather than the gems on the LP itself—opened up with an elaborate performance by T.I., assisted deftly by Kid Cudi and Kanye West. Addressing the Illuminati accusations head on:
You must not really know where I come from
Exactly where my heart is or you would never
Never…
…NEVER…
…Ugh, where do I start
People ask me shit about Illuminati
First off, fuck that mean?
He loved Jesus when he, when he was worse off
Oh, I see, when they think a n*gga is,
Stupid rich,
People just start coming up with,
Stupid sh*t
Enough said.
