T.I. and John Legend decided to swap it out — Legend appears on Tip’s “Slide Show” from Paper Trail, and the King of the South recently completed a remix of the crooner’s current big single. “T.I. did a remix for me for ‘Green Light,’ with Swizz Beatz on the production,” Legend told MTV News. “That was fresh. That’ll be coming up soon. I switched up my lyrics a little bit to ride the beat in a different way. The beat is slower, a little more R&B-ish. Swizz slowed up the beat a little bit. T.I. did a different verse [from Andre 3000's], obviously. It’s kind of a different record, but it still has an element of the original.” As for appearing on Paper Trail, Legend said it was smooth sailing. “It was easy,” the Grammy winner said. “[T.I.] just laid out the format of the song, what he asked me to do for it. I knocked it out in an hour or something. The chorus was already written, then I wrote a little bridge at the end. That was it.”
