This song definitely has a ‘Love the Way You Lie’ vibe to it and it should since this new T.I. track shares the same producer (Alex Da Kid). Off ‘No Mercy’.

NO BETTER THEN CHRISTINA… HEAVY BEAT, PRETTY DOPE SONG
isn’t the point of the song about the fact that he’s in jail? it is titled “castle walls” which would be pretty cliche if it was just titled that randomly
T.I. is the best damn rapper..His flow is unlike any Ive ever heard and No Mercy is the best album ive ever heard. His lyrics are intelligence, insightfulness, and gangsta all mixed in one. How life has changed with scarface is also bangin.No Mercy dec 7
The same? What about eminems? or waynes? T.I.’s is no different..He switches his style up…he can go fast, slow southern drawl, rap about hood shit, or progressive shit..Hes one of the most diverse. U telling me What you know and Live your life is the same flow? he has several styles
I AM A BIG EM FAN BUT STANS LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON PEOPLE HATE EM, ITS EMBARRASSING… EVERY HOT SONG THEY COME OUT AND SAY EM SHOULD BE ON THIS.. EM SHOULD OF DONE THIS.. NIGGA JUMP OFF A DICK
Eminem would’ve sounded better on this track than All She Wrote, I bet even T.I. thought so but he knew Em would never feature in a track with Christina
Lol,I agree with “YOUAJOKE”.Em is one of my favorite rappers,but some people just go overboard with this ish. Anyway,I really like this track.Not a big fan of the T.I that likes to boast about ballin’,but more of the guy that reflects on life,and leaves some advice for a younger generation. Like I said,Dope track.
whats with all the STAN hating? i personally dont thikn Em should be on this altho i love this song that beat damn the sample is annoying me is it vangelis? no one ever seems to hate when the big fans or pac fans keep mentioning them and theyv been dead a while now. if ppl liking eminem puts u off him then it ur heaad where the problem is
WOW, you’re TOTALLY missing the point. The point is this song has absoluely nothing to do with em except the same producer. Yet for some reason stans keeping talking about how eminem should have been on it instead of ti. There’s just no basis for talking about eminem other than dickriding for NO reason. And I LOVE em, but he has NOTHING to do with any of this.
Co-sign Anon! I’m a big Eminem fan, but why do people talk about him here? It’s like the people on Eminems youtube videos who can’t stop talking bout Bieber.
t.i. is gonna go down as one of the best hate him or love him dude can spit he much better than fucking lil wayne and drake because u can actually feel t.i.s pain the way he puts his heart in his music 5/5
The first hook and first verse are the strongest parts of the song, it goes downhill from there. T.I.’s voice is obnoxious in an entirely new way through most of the song. This clearly needs mastered, but it gets 4 stars for Christina’s hook.
I laugh at you wack dudes talking about something boring you. Souljha Boy, Roscoe Dash, Waka Flaka and a bunch of other tight jean wearing dudes make music specifically to entertain and you always have something to say about them also. You crackers are so wack, that Love the Way you Lie mess was even more boring and none of you bitches pointed that out
Forgive me for the ignorant cracker comment but you guys kill me acting like Eminem invented the wheel. If you ask me Eminem bit T.I. a lot lately starting with the artwork of Relapse.
Super Dope!-the only thing that brings “Love the Way You Lie” to mind is you mentioning it-otherwise its a hot-ass TI joint with a singer on the hook–Em really didn’t invent the wheel.
this is real hip hop honestly wasnt feeling most no mercy tracks cept the eminem track but this just real deep lyrics and christina just perfect for the track
Dope song. Tip was on point with the verses, and Christina’s sexy vocally-talented self kilt the hook! It’s a hit, as are the Ye, Em, & Drake joints, I think I’m copping No Mercy!
cant say enough how consistent this guy is hes the only talent in the south im gunna buy this album hes going to jail for doing drugs but dont we all do drugs lol
are you kidding me?! christina aguilera is one of the best vocal artists EVER, she kills all of her songs, and you’re judging her for her hair? are you kidding me? this song is wet and everyone knows it. Real talk, TI and C.A is one of my fav collaborations ever.
Dope track, and its not unusual for writers to compare songs to other similar, chart topping songs. Especially when they have the same producer. I lol at all you who hate because Em was brought up actin like he dont deserve it. Em didn’t invent the wheel, he is just once again, in control of it.
This collabo is fan-f’g-tastic.. I dnt think he’s try to bite off “Love the way you Lie” at all. It makes plenty of sense that the beat has the same type of feel b/c they used the same producer. A Lil John track is gonna sound like a Lil john track, and so on and so forth. every producer has their signature sound. I like both tracks, but being that Christina Aguilera is clearly a better singer than Rihanna,”Castle Walls” trumps “Love the Way You Lie” for me.

Good 2010 radio song…TI is one of the few MAINSTREAM southern emcees i can stand/tolerate (along with Outkast, Scarface who at least USED to be on radio, 8ball and mjg back in the day, Bun B who is quasi known/mainstream, Luda when he tries a la MVP w/ Primo and collabs w/ nas, jada, jay)…Underground Cunnin Lynguists, Little Brother, Celph Titled to name a few rep the south well…solid song…Looks like this TI album has some pretty good potential
and can ppl stop clowning Aguilera plz…yes when she first came out everyone thought she was a gimmick a la Brittney Spears, boy bands etc, but she’s proven over the last decade that she’s a LEGIT solid vocalist who has collabed with REDMAN (a top 25 lyricist of all time) so why does TI get ish for it?
Live her voice is MURDERING rhiana…listen to ri ri live, it’s comically bad…Love the way you lie WAS a very hot track before the 2010 method of radio played it the f out.
If they allowed more dope emcees to get on the radio like slaughterhouse, diabolic, louis logic, elzhi, one be lo, roots (more than once every 2-3 years), blackstarr (both mos/talib), pharoahe monch (other than simon says never on radio), kool g rap, nas (rarely on radio minus if i ruled the world, street dreams, hate me now, i can, hero, etc), Common (rarely on radio), Cunnin Lynguists, Tonedeff, Wu-Tang,(haven’t been on radio since mid 90s) to name a FEW of the many dope emcees/groups.
One of the main reasons get so sick of Em is b-c the radio played the F out of Not Afraid (avg at best tbh) and Love the Way You Lie (was a hot/REAL type track w/ nice lyrics/catchy chorus before it was played the f out)….If you mixed Em in w/ the artists above and put out singles like Going Through Changes, Spacebound, So Bad ppl wouldn’t hate as much (And yes i realize dude has fallen off from his top 5 type GOAT status of 97-2002/early 03), but still alot of it has to do with radio not playing other dope artists and looping the same 10 songs OVER AND OVER AND OVER
You really think that Em has fallen off because I think you are full of shit.He has progressed lyrically. Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
example:
Your dreams are getting fulfilled, oh I’m literally getting the chills.
Spitting at will, me and Dre have just finished splitting a pill
You’re submitting to skill, sitting still, I’m admitting, I’m beginning to feel
Like I don’t think anyone’s real,
Faced with a dilemma, I can be Dali Llama and become a bin gramma a step beyond a Jeffrey Dahmer
Please don’t upset me mama, you lookin sexy mama,
Don’t know if this the lala or the rum and Pepsi mama
Don’t want to end up inside my refrigerator freezer,
Be used as extra topping the next time I make a pizza
How many people you know can name every serial killer who ever existed in a row,
Put em in chronological order beginning with Jack the Ripper,
Name the time and place from the body the bag the zipper,
Location of the woods where the body was dragged and then dumped,
The trunk that they were stuffed in, the model the make the plate
And which motel which lake they found her in,
And how they attacked the victim,
Say which murder weapon was used to do what and which one,
Which knife and which gun, what kid what wife and which nun,
Don’t stop, I like this, it’s fun, the fucking nights just begun
– that is sick. maybe its not infinite or no one is iller but you have to realize rappers will progress with time and what is going on with them. The funny thing to me is that people are so quick to judge a song when they usually don’t get the lyracisim or the puns used in the song nor the lyrical content. I can’t tell you how many times I have to explain hip hop to people because they aren’t heads. A hip hop head is a real ass nigga!
What the fuck this has to do with “Love The Way You Lie”, you young fucks?
HHDX is fallin on some teenage MTV ass. Jesus… the theme is completly different.
NO BETTER THEN CHRISTINA… HEAVY BEAT, PRETTY DOPE SONG
Sick beat. Sick chorus. Sick track.
great song but it sucks that T.I is in prison. This song could probably go a lot further if he wasnt in the pen….
isn’t the point of the song about the fact that he’s in jail? it is titled “castle walls” which would be pretty cliche if it was just titled that randomly
T.I. is the best damn rapper..His flow is unlike any Ive ever heard and No Mercy is the best album ive ever heard. His lyrics are intelligence, insightfulness, and gangsta all mixed in one. How life has changed with scarface is also bangin.No Mercy dec 7
hate to spill the beans but T.I.’s flow is the same 90% of the time..
aye yo, why u be spillin da beans holmes? i put dat shit in my burritos vato, dont be wastin dat shit holmes. dont make me fuck u up playa
The same? What about eminems? or waynes? T.I.’s is no different..He switches his style up…he can go fast, slow southern drawl, rap about hood shit, or progressive shit..Hes one of the most diverse. U telling me What you know and Live your life is the same flow? he has several styles
Dope song, Eminem should’ve been featured on this track though, would’ve been perfection.
I AM A BIG EM FAN BUT STANS LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON PEOPLE HATE EM, ITS EMBARRASSING… EVERY HOT SONG THEY COME OUT AND SAY EM SHOULD BE ON THIS.. EM SHOULD OF DONE THIS.. NIGGA JUMP OFF A DICK
What is a “Solider”, exactly? Is that like a cock-riding version of a “soldier”?
Eminem would’ve sounded better on this track than All She Wrote, I bet even T.I. thought so but he knew Em would never feature in a track with Christina
Lol wow…..how does Marshall’s ass taste?
Lol,I agree with “YOUAJOKE”.Em is one of my favorite rappers,but some people just go overboard with this ish. Anyway,I really like this track.Not a big fan of the T.I that likes to boast about ballin’,but more of the guy that reflects on life,and leaves some advice for a younger generation. Like I said,Dope track.
Good song.
Too bad T.I is a dumbass
This shit is awesome.
He had a hit on his hands…might still be one.
LOL @ the eminem stans. embarrassing. smh
maybe he can make a video from behind those castle walls.
hey, stop being a meanie.
This is aight, I like “No Mercy” better though. Big Picture is a banger, the album is a good album, just as good as anything else I heard this year
Amazing-No Mercy is a classic…
Love The Way You Lie starts with singing and then rapping
I Need A Doctor starts with singing and then rapping
This is the same formula
Tight songs, though does this guy produce anything different?
Yeah, all of his songs are sounding exactly the same, thos Love the Way you Lie songs are really repitive.
whats with all the STAN hating? i personally dont thikn Em should be on this altho i love this song that beat damn the sample is annoying me is it vangelis? no one ever seems to hate when the big fans or pac fans keep mentioning them and theyv been dead a while now. if ppl liking eminem puts u off him then it ur heaad where the problem is

No mercy! Can’t stop bumpin this shit, along with that poppin’ bottles joint feat. Drake. Love Christina’s vocals!
i dunno. t.i.’s part bores me a bit.
the best part is christina aguilera.
t.i. is gonna go down as one of the best hate him or love him dude can spit he much better than fucking lil wayne and drake because u can actually feel t.i.s pain the way he puts his heart in his music 5/5
TI doing it big

Dope collab. love the chorus and t.i.’s flow on this one.

Dope track, and its not unusual for writers to compare songs to other similar, chart topping songs. Especially when they have the same producer. I lol at all you who hate because Em was brought up actin like he dont deserve it. Em didn’t invent the wheel, he is just once again, in control of it.

T.I Can’t wait for this album to drop I’m all over it. Genie in a bottle beauty hook! lovin it
I don’t know if this is a hit or not but it is a good track
good shyt
Its a nice track but I hope TI doesnt think that this record will be on the level of Em’s Love the way you lie
This collabo is fan-f’g-tastic.. I dnt think he’s try to bite off “Love the way you Lie” at all. It makes plenty of sense that the beat has the same type of feel b/c they used the same producer.
