Ever since Tip left the clink, he's been on a rampage with tracks. The rapper/actor/and now author has been popping up everywhere. With remixes (Future's "Magic" and 2Chainz' "Spend It" ) and collaborations (Young Jeezy's "F.A.M.E.," and "I'm Flexin'" with Big K.R.I.T.) under his belt, it's clear that T.I. hasn't stopped working from the moment he left jail. This week we're greeted by two chart-busting tracks - "Here Ye, Here Ye" with Pharrell (in at #1), and a remix to "N***as In Paris" (in at #2). On the former, it seems like Skateboard P is grabbing the reigns, rapping with some ferocity that escapes his Neptunes/N.E.R.D. comfort zone.
On the latter - despite T.I. adding a verse and it not being a "formal" remix - Tip's guest spot transforms the cut into a remix reminiscent of "Swagger Like Us" and that's a very good thing. Here's to second chances. Or second appearances. Drake shows up again this week at #5 with his Nicki Minaj collab "Make Me Proud." Then last night, another Take Care track leaked, "The Real Her" with Lil Wayne, and jumped right to #6. The track is pretty R&B-esque, but it sounds like Drake loves that territory sometimes.
