Check out the cover of T.I’s ‘Castle Walls (Ft. Christina Aguilera)’ which was serviced to radio today. The record serves as the 3rd official single from the rapper’s poorly received ‘No Mercy’ LP which was generally dismissed by critics and recently achieved gold status despite retail sales of only 367k copies.
QUEEN
THIS SONG FEATURING MY QUEEN WILL SLAY, ARE YOU LESSERS READY FOR A WORLDWIDE NO.1 HIT ?
ME TOO.
ALL HAIL.
BOW DOWN.
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
still don’t know why ‘get back up’ flopped
Damn…TI a flop now? Needs to stay the hell outta jail to promote is ish. Promotion doesnt necessarily mean an album will succeed, but it helps :/
Shame. Especially coming off of the success of his last album, which spawned several successful singles.
I do not like this song.
castle walls is an amazing track i hope it gets to no 1
Amazing song! Hope it does well 😀
it’s an amazing song. i dare to say it’s better than other songs produced by alex da kid…. it’s honest and christina’s vocals are flawless.
“Mocha & Milk” is a perfect match like “black & white” people
______[ Bl-a-ck ]”[ Wh-it-e ]” [ Fl-ir-ts ]”[C0-”m] _____
The most successful interra cial da t ing c lub. If you are still waiting for your sweet “milk” or “mocha”, don’t hesitate to check it !! Don’t let your babies wait too long for you !!
0_0 thought this came out months ago!
lmao this song is already out last year… but no one seems to care
^No it wasn’t. Get your info straight. He released “All She Wrote” before but now is officially releasing Castle Walls. Stay mad hater.
this song is amazing! truley is a gem and this song deserves to smash @ radios! great work T.I. and Christina. Hopefully this song gets a grammy nomination for 2012 and reaches #1 on Billboard! They are truely bring back true lyrics and content to this blane asss radio! im sick of radio!
CASTLE WALLS WILL OWN RADIO 2011!!!!
this is a good song. #justsaying
“Unveils new single cover”…. ummm they can do that from jail now? lol
I stan for LEGEND-TINA SOOO HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I’m just a bit skeptical about this single since T.I. can’t go out and promote it! (dumbass!!)
I’m hoping that the song will be able to garner a second wind by being used in a big movie or something!
If Diddy-Dirty Money can get a hit off of “Coming Home” (which I do like) then “Castle Walls” deserves to go top ten!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry dude just don’t do it for me. He was the s*** when he first came out then he music became very lack luster & commercial. Anyway………………………….
Don’t you mean his ‘team’ unveils his new single cover. He sure as hell couldn’t do it where he’s at! Lol!
Anywho, the cover is decent. I could really give a damn about single covers. The don’t interest me at all. I do like the song though, but I don’t really see it being a big hit. *shrugs* It seems like the music with actual
I think that his sales are pretty goo considering the fact that he was not around to promote it and he had no hits. I doubt he or anyone else it was going to be a commerical success. I didn’t find the album too enjoyable with the exception of a few tracks, very few singles choice and I didn’t expect the critics to be kind, especially given his recent troubles. I don’t think going Gold should be considered a failure, but it is definitely underwhelming.
Perhaps this should be a lesson to him to keep his ass out of Jail so he can actually be around to pormote his ish and make appearances and performances. That certainly would have helped.
T.I.’s album was relaeased on Dec 7 with little promotion and became Gold in little over a month! That is good! It seems like he was well received to me!!
the song is great i love the fact that xtina dosen’t over sing too much she spared us this time -_- i hope its a hit for tip his album is very dop shits all over kanye’s album
Might as well change the title to “Prison Walls”.
I LOVE THIS SONG! I LOVE XTINA! FINALLY SOME MEANINGFUL LYRICS WILL HIT THE RADIO!
I’m not just saying this coz i’m an XTina stan but this song is AMAZING T.I is talking about real s*** and you need to listen to the message instead of the s*** put out by Gaga etc
T.I is great and XTina’s vocals are flawless, this definately deserves a Grammy nom next year (if the Grammy’s are back to rewarding actual tallent).
I hope this gets a video or something 🙂
P.S LOL at Trent throwing shade at T.I for being certified Gold with sales of 376 when he was biggin up Mariah for going Gold with 400k after much longer than it took T.I.
@FUTURESTARDELUX Mariah has sold about 440k tho, T.i. has yet to reach 400k. Theres a difference there. Also i don’t think that Mariahs HSN sales were included with Bilbboards numbers, and if they were she’d probably be somewhere around 480 to 485k. So her numbers and certification are legit. What people have to remember tho is that sales are based on shipments. You have to ship more than whats expected in case the turn out is larger than expected. You could sale a million albums in a month, but if the album is in demand you would have to ship more, to make sure that it’s enough product out there.
He sold almost 150 or 160k his first week, but his label had to ship more than that to stores to be practical.
@TheMan I’m not dissing Mariah at all i’m just saying it’s hypocritical of Trent to throw shade at T.I for doing something her was praising Mariah for just the other day.
t.i’s album has gotten good reviews, idk what your talkin about.
looks like chrissy is going to have to promote this by herself
Well again Mariahs album is a holiday album, it’s not a regular Lp. Thats what makes it a little more significant. I don’t necessarily see where the diss was. He basically said it has done well for what it was. Going Gold with this album for T.i. is really good, because he has no hits, and the promo has been haulted due to his circumstances.
Holiday albums sale differently from other albums, you’ll have a hand full of them that will do very well. But it’s not like a regualr album. I hope and think this album will atleast carry him over the 500k mark.
The typography on the single cover is lazy… I can’t believe they have people doing things like this in-house at Atlantic. I wouldn’t expect someone to use a pre-installed Windows font on a single cover. This is why artists should have logos and branding, or else you get that Britney Spears always-different-every-time look. T.I. had one, but didn’t stick with it for long.
Oh, well. I’ll give them a pass since it’s a popular font.
As an Xtina fan i won’t get my hopes up about this song being a hit, it most likely won’t, but this song is amazing!
T.I should have come out with this song first. That GET BACK UP song with Chris Brown was garbage. This is probably one of his best on the LP. I’m glad it’s finally a single now.
