"Touchdown" is a song by American rapper T.I. featuring Eminem from T.I. vs. T.I.P.. The song was only released as an airplay single in 2007, and not as an official single. It received considerable airplay on Monday Night Football during the 2007 NFL season.
The song is the first of the three collaborations with T.I. and Eminem, another one allegedly to be in Eminem's next studio album[1]. The third song was produced for T.I. vs T.I.P. as well, but it was eventually discarded.
[edit] Music and lyrics
Produced by Eminem and Jeff Bass, the song features the use of electronic keyboard giving a trumpet-like sound. As well, hi-hats and bass drums are the main rhythmic instruments used in the song.
The song mainly deals with the success of the two artists and their alter egos T.I.P. and Slim Shady. Eminem raps imitating a Southern American accent, typical of T.I. and his home town Atlanta. Also, in the third and last verse T.I. explains his gratitude toward hip hop and criticizes people that disagree with the lyrical content of the music genre:
| “ | How could they be so ignorant? Look what hip hop done brung[sic] us
It's allowed us to run a business, legitimated our moneys Got us out of the ghettos and relocated our mommies I made it all the way here ain't no way you taking it from me So excuse me Oprah honey, I'm sorry, really I promise But niggas, bitches and hoes do exist, I'm just being honest.[2] |
