Rubber Band Man
T.I.
- trap
- Atlanta
On the charts
Peaked at #30 on the Hot 100; T.I.'s first major crossover hit.
Why it mattered
Atlanta trap before anyone called it trap. T.I. announced himself as the King of the South over a Neptune-esque beat. The rubber band on the wrist became the accessory of the year.
