T.I. and Dr. Dre Got Together on a Dope Track

While Hip Hop continues to search for the next wave of impactful rappers, there are a few OGs who continue to hold down the entire game like they have for decades. Needless to say, when a new T.I. track produced by Dr. Dre that samples Aaliyah comes across the radar, I'm all ears. Dope is one of those Cali cruise anthems that Dr. Dre pioneered over two decades ago. It's a mix of a gentle strings, high pitched synths and a whole lot of chill. To his credit, T.I. seemed completely at home over the ever so chill beat, while Marsha Ambrosius did her best to augment the Aaliyah sample on the hook. It's one of the few Hip Hop singles that have piqued my excitement over the past year, which should be telling in and of itself...#Dope
