In the latest RESPECT mag cover story, Clifford chops it up with Datwon Thomas and reveals the concept behind the all-star video that never was. Damn shame! Issue’s on newsstands now. Gon’ get you some!
Are you ever inspired by movies?
For videos, we are at times greatly inspired by them. Actually, we had an idea and concept for “Swagga Like Us,” and it was taken from Reservoir Dogs. Schedules conflicted and we weren’t able to make that happen before my sit down, but I think that would have been an iconic moment.
they missed big for not making a video for that shit was classic all those guys on 1 track
DAMN, HIP HOP MISSED OUT ON THAT EPIC MOMENT IN TIME
LUV KANYE EXPRESSION IN THE POST PIC…LIKE, “LOOK AT ME…I AM EXCELLENCE BITCH!” LMAO 😉
that song suuuuuuuuuucks.
except for T.I those verses were mad mediocre.
HOV IS A CORNBALL. HE LOOKS SO OLD & CORNY IN THIS PIC!!! THIS 64 YEAR OLD BIIIIIIITCH ACT LIKE HE IS 20 LIKE THESE OTHER GUYS.
SWAGGA LIKE US:
T.I.>CAMELFACE (I ADMIT IT)>KANYE WEST> LIL WAYNE
★★★
HORUS IS THE TRUTH✔
In order of best verses
T.I.>Kanye>Jay-Z>Lil Wayne
Jay-Z’s verses these days are so average…How many times does Kanye have to kill him before other people besides myself realize it too…*Goes back to listening to The Blueprint…yeah the first Blueprint*
Best verses
T.I>Jay-Z>Kanye>Weezy(disappointed in his verse) BUT best rapper out of all of them LIL WAYNE #FREEWEEZY
Woulda been EPIC!
[…] In the latest issue of RESPECT (on sale now), T.I. chats with Datwon Thomas about the concept of the canned “Swagga Like Us” video, which was inspired by one of my favorite flicks of all time, “Reservoir Dogs.” Here’s what Clifford had to say (via RR): […]
kanye had the best verse ……hands down!!!!!
What the HELL ever happened to Swagga Like Us 2??? I know B.dot reads the comments, so B.dot tell YN to tell Ye, instead of ruining his album by dropping songs from it each friday before release, make some of those Good Fridays unreleased Hov shit like SLU II, or “She’s Like That all the time”

Wha kind of posse cut dont even include tha best in tha game??? Sign up gucci next time smh…
That song really did suck. T.I. and Kanye were good. The hook was annoying. Jay-Z was dissappointing. And as usual, Gayne sucked ass. *kanye shrug*
@ Bleeze
His Swag is definitely influenced from that East Point Hit Man (Yep I bought the single for “Watch 4 the Hook!!!), but T.I.’s actual flow is 2nd best in ATLANTA…
#1 is Andre 3000.
Jay Z Has That Same Look On His Face As When Lil Mamma Came Up On Stage. TI Better Stop That Damn Saluting. Monkey See Monkey Do
@ Bleeze
Smh @ T.I. not remembering that vid. Especially considering Cool Breeze was the 1st rapper on wax to refer to the hood as the “trap”.
Anyway,that swagga song was nothing special to me. I actually forgot about it.
hov thinkin “im too damn rich to up here with these kids”
