“Swagga Like Us” (2008) is a hip-hop royal summit that united T.I., Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne at the height of their powers. Built around a bold M.I.A. sample (“No one on the corner have swagger like us”), the track is an exercise in bragging rights, with each rap titan delivering a verse to assert their superior swagger. The all-star single hit the Top 5 and was memorably performed at the Grammys, complete with a very pregnant M.I.A. on stage. It remains a time capsule of late-2000s hip-hop dominance, where the biggest names joined forces to celebrate their style and success.
