That's a great question, the lyrics fit right in, but the flow was closer to now, 1 bar and stop type shit. That beat is futuristic as fuck though. If TI dropped that as a single right now, today, it would be the best song on the radio, and it wouldn't sound out of place.

Was I the only one who thought he was biting Jeezy with that song? Heck I thought it was jeezys song when it first came on. TI usually doesn't do that slow delivery in his flow and use a lot of ad libs

The Message was ahead of its time

The Message was my first thought. But then I thought about it and the song was socially relevant at that time. It's just sad that it's still relevant.

Racks by young chris and future. That song is still 10 years ahead of anything today. Its very influential to hip hop culture. Racks gave birth to drill rap and mumble rap. Racks is the real cutoff point from the soulja boy era to what we are in now. It was a YC solo in 2009 and future hopped on remix in 2010. Nothing sounded like it at the time. After racks thats when rappers fired rb hook singers and started that sing songy drug addict track building formula. Rappers did they own hooks with minimalistic bass driven beats and its still like that today.

Flockavelli 1 is another project that was ahead of its time
