Normally, it's this writer's opinion that the acclaimed T.I.'s rhyming skills are often outshined by the production on his tracks, but now "Hurt" has flipped that crap upside down. So far, I can't decide if it's because the production is kinda not that great or if it's because T.I. sounds so excited and ... fast.

 

What I do know is that Busta comes out for the third verse and despite all the macho bullshit he's exhibited lately, he sounds fresh and lively. I'm into it. Keep the eyes peeled for a quick DJ Drama cameo while you're watching a bunch of males jump around with bats and chains.
