Hot off of T.I’s album Paper Trail, “Swagga Like Us” was one of the more monumental releases of 2008. The song featured verses from Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne, with vocal samples from MIA’s song “Paper Planes.” What made this song so huge? For 2008, this was the quad-rapper posse that everyone idolized (and still idolize today). Or, as Noisey said, the “ultimate 2008 posse cut.”
