recent poll thread for all of his pre-"Low" hits for further reference:

going on a trip i be back home, boy i'll see you later
going back to a time where i know every thing was straighter
and everything's great now
but back then it was greater
and i don't need no clothes
i'll go in just what i'm wearin
matter fact i'll just go back with what i used wear then
no matter how bad the weather
everything back then was just so better
i can dream
it's a simple thing
i'm building a time machine

don't really know what i want from t this year... ideally like him to take a breather for a month or two (maybe a produce a track or two on the low like he's started to do) until this mariah thing drops, then come back hard with something of his own. random stuff like this ross and dolla is just annoying the shit outta me right now

Yeah...but given that different labels and artists operate on completely different schedules, I don't think a break like that would make any difference, since at any given moment the songs he has out could've been made 2 or 6 or 12 months ago. And going away for a while for the sake of going away (or to protest a label situation like Lil Jon did) is usually what makes an artist who's big at the moment disappear for good, so I can't fault him for striking while the iron's hot. If he keeps the quality up then I won't bitch about the quantity.

yeah i'm aware that's the pragmatic way and all (altho quality is def being spread thin), it's just my personal pref right now.

on the other hand if i was t's manager i'd be forcing him at gunpoint to marry t-love and release 'rereturn of the b-girl 2008' together, so what do i know.

haahahaha

came here to post about shawty but ahahaahha

i was reading an ass old edition of entertainment weekly in a waiting room today and they interviewed missy about her new album and they asked her who she was working with and her first answer was of course t-pain

I guess the poll thread could tell me, but of the last few months of T-Pain singles and collab-os what's really good?

uummmmm a lot of good stuff on his album, 'backseat action' w/ shawnna and 'shottas' with kardi and cham (i imagine you'd really like that tim). 'kiss kiss' w/ chris brown really grew on me and he completely kills the '2 step' rmx (jim jones and e-40 are good too) (probably rap rmx of the year) and the song with twista 'creep fast' is pretty good as well.

Don't know why "Low" had to grow on you, it's pretty classic T-Pain... "Cyclone" and "Who The Fuck Is That?," on the other hand, are awful. Looking forward to his work with Mariah, should be interesting to say the least. "Tipsy" is his official next single, though I think they should've went with "Show U How".

"low" grew on me too. basically cuz it took me a while to not be annoyed by "low low low low low low low" and to sit through a whole flo rida verse

that's surprising, "Tipsy" never occurred to me as a potential single (although I guess it at least contributes to the picture painted by "Buy U A Drank" and "Bartender" that the guy is apparently some kind of alcoholic). "Show U How" is good, though. I don't think "Low" is classic T-Pain, if anything he's the weak link of the song.

wish 'church' would fuck off already

brainwasher otm about 'show u how', it's that cute side t-pain never seems to wanna show

Kind of surprised that "Boss" seems to be doing well, or at least better than "Speedin'," sounded like such a non-starter to me. T-Pain's on the new Charlie Wilson single and I kind that combination vaguely promising but haven't heard it yet. I'm skeptical about "Shawty Get Loose," his collaboration with Lil Mama and a certain accordian-playing parodist, catching on outside the lowered expectations of 106 & Park and its internet equivalent, the Poptimists. "Low" is in its 9th week at #1, which I have to admit is just outrageous at this point.

what's the song with the chorus that ends in "whooooo the heck is that?" it pretty much blows

that's the bowlderized radio/video version of Dolla's "Who The Fuck Is That?" which I mentioned in the 2nd post on this thread. yeah, it sucks.

a local mix show DJ's been playing "Dance Floor" lately, at first I was excited that T-Pain had a good new solo single but it turns to be just a deep cut from his '05 album that I slept on. same station also tends to play some awful rough mix-sounding version of "Low" where the chorus seems to be scratch vocals by Flo Rida or someone else other than T-Pain, don't even like the real version that much but it's so grating to hear someone other than T-Pain attempt to sing it in his style.

low is still number one?!!?!?

fucks sake

ive given up on radio completely because of that song

totally otm as ive stated elsewhere

weird thing is I've never heard "Low" that much on the radio (might be because I usually listen during the mix shows when they're emphasizing new stuff?), so I never actually got sick of it personally. I can see it getting really annoying if I heard it enough, though.

Whatever; I still like Low and I've been listening to it for months.
More 'Shawty Get Loose' love, please.
Also, what the hell is wrong with 'Church'? And why so much hate on this thread in the first place? I'll agree that 'Who the Fuck' and 'Speedin' are weak, but for fuck's sake, it's T-PAIN. He's a special fellow.

I like "Church" and always have (although the crappy video and clean edit have dampened my enthusiasm a little). This thread was started out of love for T-Pain, but also with a critical eye on whether his '08 will be as good as his '07.

church is okay but "shottas" and "backseat action" for life

wasn't backseat action supposed to be a single

I think at one point it was supposed to follow "Bartender" instead of "Church," yeah, got some mix show spins but that's about it. I think "Backseat Action" makes the best case for T-Pain's talents as a producer, those drums are fucking sick.

another single f/ T-Pain from a dude I've never heard of but will probably be in the Billboard top 10 any minute now, 2 Pistols:

a special fellow indeed

how can you not love that dude

R.I.P. The Runway

probly wouldnt mind dude getting his baron samedi on if it wasnt for the picturing the pizza puppet youtube thing all over again

xp haha 4real, missed that

is this top hat stylin a new development or did i miss that too? i see he's got one on in the 'boss' vid too

i wonder if the 'boss' appeal is in how it's actually quite chill when you're expecting the usual nu-miami runners bombasticness. i wonder cos that appeal still totally escapes me obv. grim.

i'll ride for 'boss' i think the beat is fire

he's wearing a top hat in that 2 pistols vid too. i totally support top hats becoming RAP TREND of '08.

that beat is so boring
the only thing i can think of is its riding purely on the momentum of the artists

^i kinda like this

yeah, that one's kinda growing on me. also this one, from the no-name dude Ace Gutta who was pretty decent on the "Make It Rain" remix and is on Khaled's new label:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4lm1m_ace-gutta-feat-rick-ross-tpain-cash_music

ok i totally love "she got it"-- heard it like 68 times on the radio this weekend in stl and it finally totally clicked. justice league have effectively kicked the runners out of the slow, creepy, monolithic beats for florida dudes throne and i think that's a good thing.

also

SHAWT-I-E

two great beats on trilla too, 'maybach music' esp

are any of these good? 'bury me a g' is aight i guess. are those j. holiday songs rap-ish or do they (him?) do r&b as well?

"Buss Yo Head" was a big steet joint for mnoths but I never totally warmed up to it. nice hard simple beat, though. loved their song on the Shawnna album, but those Shareefa tracks were two of my least favorites on the album, decent productions but boring songs.

his top hat is more memorable than the actual song in that Ace Gutta or Ace hood video whatever his name is...which is a Runners track...

it took the video for me to realize that this Ace Hood aka Ace Gutta guy on Khaled's new label isn't the same as the Ace Mack that was on Khaled's "Make It Rain" remix. shit is confusing! I'm really starting to feel like pre-top hat T-Pain was the end of his hot streak.

most endearingly o_O career move in recent T-Pain history is this video with Ukranian pop star Ruslana:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7YOp7eLX9o

so what was the first appearance of the top hat? 'the boss' video?

we might have to start a rolling autotune thread

hahaha wow the diddy/akon/mary j collabo has t-pain singing the hook to the babyface/eric clapton song

somethin like a

http://z.about.com/d/top40/1/0/f/7/clapton1997.jpg

so "karaoke" combines my favorite things: runners-style huge synth production, t-pain, dj khaled screaming inane shit and eliminates some of my least favorite things: verses from plies and fat joe

you're just a swagger jacker
now i'm a certified lamborghinist and cadillacker

You know, as not great a rapper as Fat Joe is, I don't think I've ever been annoyed by one of his verses. Even at his best, he's only decent, but he has a total knack for always being decent.

omg "Chopped & Screwed" is crazy

fwiw my fat joe hate on this board is basically sub-trolling and has been since day 1 when the porn star meme got started (i think)

i like lots of his songs

For a second I thought you were implying there was a porn star meme about Fat Joe. At which point I contemplated suicide.

this album is awesome by the way

really coherent stylistically

: D @ Khaled on "Karaoke"

and, I know I read about on this thread, but BIG WTF at him using the Babyface/Clapton joint

http://i34.tinypic.com/m7vz0j.jpg

WE GLOBAL WITH THIS HOOD SHIT

all these songs sound like the radio

it's like a now compilation of songs no one has heard

that's a compliment obv

btw...

http://i33.tinypic.com/hwzue1.png

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Wow I agree this album does "sound like the radio".
There are some great songs on here too.....
"Can't Believe It" - I really like this but wow does Wayne sound off his face!
"Long Lap Dance" - :D
"Reality Show" !!!!
the copy I have has 23 tracks so I'm still digesting it.....

someone start the Rolling T-Pain Thread 2009?

23 tracks!? US retail has only 17 and even the iTunes version has 21.

Album's great, no doubt.

the way he says wiscaaaaansin is crazy

isn't preview of the matrix 12 from wiscansin?

you're like techno music, electronica

i predict that "long lap dance" will be one of your favorite songs on the album

you are correct, sir

he really should've committed to the gag and made it like 7 minutes long, though. this album is nice, but it's definitely not as good as Epiphany. and as tired as I get of people hating on skits, they really are terrible on here and stop the album in its tracks several times.

T-Pain kind of sucked this year but this is my shit forreal:

she will, he won't
she R&B, he funk
wowwowowowwow
they pretty similar (they pretty much the same)
but still they're different

Everytime I wanna hate on this guy he has to go and put out a "Chopped & Skrewed" to pull me back on his side. It really is an excellent track.

yeah that song is fucking awesome

i will never listen to this album in its entirety ever agian, though, 6 minutes of unfunny skits is just insane

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I've discovered that mp3s are awesome, cause those shits ain't on my hard drive no more. I can listen to T-Pain in peace. Anyway, more adulation for "Chopped N Skrewed".

yall know this is in my top 5 of 08

btw...

no.

T-Pain kind of sucked this year but this

this is kinda true

only just hearing this but like Chopped n' Screwed and Freeze. with Blowing Up i realy wish they'd turn that cool organ bass up and do a solo with it.

post yo top 10 t-pain trax of 08:

1. Reality Show
2. Chopped N Skrewed
3. What It Is << the Lil Mama one he did the hook for
4. What It Is << the Sophia Fresh/Kanye one he did the beat for
5. Karaoke
6. Cash Flow
7. Therapy
8. Freeze
9. Arab Money Remix
10. Moon Of Dreams

...

Though this alone doesn’t necessarily ruin a concert. T-Pain proved this in his set—for the most part, he didn’t even pretend to sing. Rather he played a ringleader, bringing out a contortionist, dancing midgets (one of them a mini-Britney Spears who actually stripped), and a fire-eater who set her pasties aflame. With each successive spectacle, the audience got more hyped.

When I saw him live I was impressed by how well he sang!

does he run his voice through AutoTune live now? I heard that he did, but he didn't back when I saw him live circa Epiphany.

back in 08 there was this site that i knew how to operate that would send you snippets of songs to your phone as ringtones, but then it died and i never bothered to find another site, so the only four custom ringtones i have on my phone are the choruses of "the boss", "she got it" and "beam me up" and terius' "fast car"

think i'm gonna put thr33 ringz in the car tomorrow...

hope you don't break your skip button getting past all the skits

the intro to t-pain's verse on "the boss" would make a great ringtone imo
