Atlanta-based rapper T.I., who is working on a new album, T.I. vs. T.I.P., has always wanted to record a song with Jay-Z, especially after he sampled the rapper for his monster 2004 hit, "Bring 'Em Out." The rapper's dream has come true, but not according to him. The two rappers are featured on Mary J. Blige's new song, "Turn Out The Lights."

T.I. told MTV.com, "It's a song I did with Mary. I think Jay did a verse on there as well. I haven't heard it, but I'm sure it's quite a banger. It's definitely going to be one for the books. I haven't heard it since I did it. It's a song about a man and a woman in some form or fashion. I don't really remember."

But according to T.I. the collaboration with Jay-Z "don't count" because the two rappers weren't in the studio at the same time.

In related news, T.I. will release a new single and video, "Live In The Sky" featuring Jamie Foxx, in the coming weeks.
