Best Songs of 2008: No. 21
'Live Your Life,' T.I. feat. Rihanna
The Southern rapper spent most of 2008 at home. Under house arrest. One can only assume his current sitch was some kind of catalyst for 'Live Your Life,' which is outright uplifting. With its larger-than-life production and Rihanna vocals that are slightly beyond real-life, the song is T.I.'s very own 'Lose Yourself' -- an up-and-at 'em anthem that could easily have an unexpected life as walk-on music for motivational speakers.Posted by Spinner Staff

Can Rihanna do any other riffs than the sme one over and over? This is no different from the riff she used on Um-ber-hell-ah...hell-ahh...hell-ahh. lacks originality.

This song is straight butt cream! Are you serious?! The worst song of his career and I like T.I.!The beat is garbage using a wack sample and please don't get me started on whiny voice, talentless Rihanna! The first single off that album called "No Matter What" is a better and more uplifting song!

TI's part is awesome.
Rihanna.... needs to come up with something original. Is there anything she hasn't sampled?

I sing, and she just like Beyonce, as well as every other pop artist uses rifts, instead of "soulful" singing. Reguardless of race, i believe there are very few people on this earth that can "sang" and not many people recognize that. This sounds much better than any rock song or country western where no soul or personality is in the music. I love all genres, because i pick the best out of all to listen to. But its not just how its performed, its what it means. I remember hear tales of slavery, and im sure alot of them could sing, but not sang. the point is the music brought them together for the meaning is what they heard. Listen to the song one more time, and then realize to follow it. LIVE YOUR LIFE, there is no need to hate the song. If you dont like it, click next :0)

I always remember this song. I like Rihanna's voice in the song, T.I., not so much.
