While on the set of his new music video for “Memories Back Then,” T.I. took some time to talk to MTV about the history of the record. The original version of the song featured a sample from Gotye’s tremendously huge single “Somebody I Used To Know” but couldn’t be used by TIP due to clearance issues.
He felt that the record, which also features Kendrick Lamar and B.o.B, was so hot that it needed to be heard by the people. To accomodate this they reworked the production and took out the sample. This is great news, as now TIP and the gang are shooting a video and gearing to push the track as a single. Check out the full interview above.
