t-wayne- can't believe it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpEosJnvSUs

confirmed off thr33 ringz. would make a pretty good album track but would flop as a single. maybe wayne's worst usage of autotune ever, but pain's parts are pretty good and low key. beat sounds like "love in this club pt. 3" or something.

there was a listening sesssion
http://www.pyroradio.com/index.cfm/act/news_details/id/152

sept. 30 apparently. hopefully the first single is huge and awesome.

also there's this

T-Pain on T-Pain is Dead

‘T-Pain Is Dead will be full of songs people wouldn’t expect from me. There will be no autotune, there will be rock songs, I’ll be collaborating with Country and Western artists and things like that.’

hopefully the first single is huge and awesome.

not if it's "Silver & Gold"!

I had high hopes after Epiphany that his next album would be some shit to seriously confirm his talent, but his last dozen or so collabs have been so uniformly weak that I dunno now. still rooting for the dude though.

ya i agree re: "silver & gold". one of my favorite songs of the year but it would flop. im sure "snap your fingers" will shoot straight to the top 10 off two weeks worth of itunes sales anyway so i think they'd be retarded not to go with that. i think this has been a decent year for his collabos actually (IM TALKIN CASH FLOW) but as long as 2 pistols or whoever don't show up on this i can't imagine that it'll be any worse than epiphany.

Karaoke feat Dj Khaled - definite highlight, T-Pain add’s this is probably his favourite track says it’s gonna be the last track on the album, strong diss track where he’s rapping about people biting his style, he says the only people that can do it are Lil Wayne and Kanye West , shows respect to Roger Troutman too. The song starts of with him apologising to Akon and his management, he add’s this is due to them not wanting him to air people out.

This is probably a fair move, maybe even a necessary one, for him at this point, but it's funny how a year ago he was saying that only Chris Brown and R. kelly can use style, now it's 2 other people he happens to be working with recently. Stop moving the goalposts, dude! All or none!

xpost - is "Snap Your Fingers" out yet?

nah i don't think it's out yet. i just meant solely off name recognition. i guess "got money" could disprove the theory but i think that would've gone top 10 had they not put 4 carter III other songs on itunes immediately after.

well, at this point I have no idea if "Got Money" is going to rebound up the charts once the video's out and "A Milli" and "Lollipop" have finally died down, or if it really is going to prove to be a weird (relative) flop by 2 sure things. i wouldn't mind NOT hearing it all summer, though.

do you have any idea how it's doing airplay wise? i can't imagine it surging that much wrt digital sales even if radio starts to pick it up. i mean right now it's getting outsold by that awful david banner song while "a milli" continues to stay in the top 35 or so. i think they sacrificed its chart potential by including it in the pre-album release deluge strategy. i mean they had to have known that putting it on itunes right at the height of "lollipop"s success was going to irreparably stunt it.

maybe it's t-pain fatigue though? i think "she got it" would've been a surefire top 10 last year and it barely crept inside the top 30 this year. i think if wayne's still got ultimate name recognition right now. i think if they did a properly timed release for "comfortable" it would be a huge huge hit.

if

I dunno, it's hard to say whether the marketplace is burned out on T-Pain or what. You could say 2 Pistols or Tay Dizm or whoever just doesn't have star quality, but it's not like Flo Rida does either! If anything other rappers autotuning w/o T-Pain has just replaced T-Pain hooks for a lot of more popular rappers at this point, even if Kanye and Wayne are the only one making actually hits like that right now (lol "Rider Pt. 2").

i kinda dig "cash flow" by ace hood. good t-pain hook on that one.

so are we supposed to take the T-Wayne announcement-via-t shirt as a serious thing??? or is that not gonna happen...like I Can't Fell My Face or really any number of other rap projects

t-pain's t-wayne t-shirt

Yeah "Cash Flow" is definitely my favorite T-Pain cut of '08 so far. Not really so much for the hook, though, I just like the awesome drums and the fact that Ace is a halfway capable rapper compared to almost every other FL dude that blew up with a T-Pain feature.

xpost yeah I don't believe any of Wayne's collaborative projects other than with Baby will ever drop

I mean maybe after the C3 numbers every label that thinks they can get a Wayne/Juelz or Hot Boys reunion or T-Wayne album on shelves will shell out a big advance and try to make it happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

CASSSSH FLOOOOOO

Ace is a halfway capable rapper

haha yeah halfway capable is probably the highest praise you can give most florida rap dudes

still, i ended up loving "boss" by rick ross, that beat is so mega and a great hook

i would like a gif of t-pain doing his thing at a balcony : arms stretched pointing down swinging them low low low low. could be the new pdiddy+mase dance gif

Wayne/Juelz or Hot Boys reunion or T-Wayne album on shelves

this would be an AMAZING version of our future

i ended up loving "boss" by rick ross, that beat is so mega and a great hook

that shit was always crack

"Boss" would be a dope album track, but it felt kinda forced as a single, and that sputtering "boss boss b-boss" bridge was like the sound of T-Pain running out of ideas epitomized.

"boss" might be my favorite rap single of the year. it's between that, "say yeah" and "put on" i think. iirc deej clowned me for posting the boss youtube before anyone knew what it was and big upping the beat. crazy that it came from fuckin jr rotem. it's great though, the fact that it's basically just voices cooing.

i wouldn't bet on t-wayne ever dropping either. they say it's called He Rap, He Sing, but c'mon it took him 3 years to get carter III out so i wouldn't hold my breath. dedication 3 will drop before anything.

how bout Rappas Ternt Robots

yeah Rotem occasionally comes with some fire. still pretty impressed by the "Bust It Baby Pt 2" beat in spite of myself.

holy shit guys did you know that Ross and Birdman want to do an album together called BALD EAGLES FLY HIGH

^^america's hip-hop ghost writer's projected incomes just skyrocketed

worst of one world

jjjjjrrrr

as someone who wants to t-pain further take over the world, im kinda disappointed that "can't believe it" is the first single from thr33 ringz cuz it's gonna flop (a little too sleepy + does the world really want THREE t-wayne singles?) but shit is really growing on me, esp the hilarious verses (ima put you in the mansion/ somewhere in wiscansin). could do w/o the wayne verse and still think this would be a bomb album track but whatever. thr33 ringz is gonna be a classic

ha radio dudes were making fun of the mansion/wiscansin rhyme

IMA PUT YOU IN THE CONDO
ALL THE WAY UP IN TORONTO

"Can't Believe It" is decent up until the Wayne verse, but yeah, doesn't sound like a hit at all even given the pedigree.

not a Lil Mama teenpop booster at all and hated "Shawty Get Loose," but "What It Is (Strike A Pose)" might be my favorite T-Pain track of the year so far.

i think im reaching tape store/cassie levels of t-pain fandom here

why is your fandom peaking now, do you think his last few months have been on the level of what he did on '07? I'm still looking forward to the new album, but if he doesn't take it to the next level with that shit and deliver something better than the singles so far I'm off the bandwagon.

how is there not a single mention on this thread of the totally amazing sensory overload that is Boom?!? some people might question the wisdom of bringing in T-Pain for a guest spot when you're already using the same exact vocoder effect on your own voice, but somehow, twice as much actually does end up equaling twice as good here.

yeah i think "shawty get loose", "she got it", "cash flow" and "what it is (strike a pose)" (also "got money" but he's barely even in that) stack up pretty well with his guest spots from last year, and i like "can't believe it" a lot (mostly for the verses), at least a lot better than "bartender". mostly i was saying that just cuz on ilm im always bumping this thread w/ minimal responses that match my enthusiasm.

i think thr33 ringz is going be really really good, probably a little bloated, but there's a few people in pop music who i'd be interested in hearing totally go off the deep end, and he is one of them. idk if he's headed there or not, but in any event i think he has it in him to top epiphany, which i liked a lot but still seemed a little under what he's capable of doing. but yeah, mostly i made the reference to tape store cuz im always bumping the thread w/ super enthusiasm.

so here's tay dizm, the dude on the 2 pistols song that is less famous than 2 pistols himself. it's called "beam me up", with officer ross of course. always love to see the police reaching out to build a bridge with inner city youth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDNOoAWjQRY

its a bangladesh beat and one of teddy's weirdest hooks in a minute: "my chevy sit so high up off the flo/i feel like im an alien in a ufo/i go ooooh weeeee ooohh"

is it really that weird considering the t-wayne entente and that the occasional bit of space talk's been known to occur in his earlier stuff anyway? seems deeply uninspired to me.

compared to "the boss", "she got it", "cash flow", "got money" etc i'd say yeah, it's one of the weirder things he's tried to push to radio in a while, and not really cuz of the "oooh weee ooooh" part ("mrs. officer", etc). it sounds really drugged

not saying its necessarily "inspired" though

i love him!

Khaled/Kanye/T-Pain/Runners: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCT3V_kbFKQ

could grow on me but sounds like a mess right now, especially with Kanye once again proving he's not very good with Autotune and biting Wayne hard with all the shit/vomit puns.

watching access granted of the "can't believe it" video

t-pain has 150 top hats

video will feature t-pain on a roller coaster and wayne on ferris wheel

::searches ebay for a t-wayne shirt::

I've gotten to the point where all "Can't Believe It" does is remind how much better this song is with Akon singing almost the exact same thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5kS9Eqk46I
