Been listening to older songs on Amazon Music (well I was a kid when most of this came out lol), just basking in nostalgia. Slow Jamz, Empire State of Mind, Homecoming, Fallin', etc.

Came across T-pain's older songs and I can't stop listening to "Blowing Up":

Then there's "Freeze":

"Can't believe it":

And , I mean even "Therapy":

He's talking about breaking up, telling her she's gotta go and it's still got me feeling good haha.
Used to listen to him when I was younger, but I never realized how much I liked his music.

Shit sucks, bro.

 

[norm9]

He ruined music. I like that he was down with MJ though.

 

[FUME5]

How? And didn't know he was cool with MJ. Nice

No. I knew he could sing, but I haven't seen these before. Awesome stuff thanks for sharing.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Dude had a lot of hits and I love the Three Ringz album.

 

[Dynomutt]

Epiphany was actually a decent album.

 

[norm9]

How? And didn't know he was cool with MJ. Nice.

He helped write a few (?) or rather contributed to a couple of MJ's last album during the final years. He hung out with MJ and stayed at his ranch. Never defamed the king of pop about the allegations so he's alright with me.

Eta- autotune was the epidemic and he was patient zero.

T-pain was the shit during the mid-late 2000s

I also miss Akon

Little known fact Akon was on The Score album with The Fugees.

 

[Big Baybee]

T-Pain gets a bad rap. Dude made hit after hit for himself and others.

ooh, thanks for this one.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Terrible first couple of post. Going back and listening to T-Pain, I realized just how great his music is.

 

[royalan]

Imma buy you a draaaaaaank

Ooooouuuuuweeeeeeeoooooooooo imma take you home wit meeeeeee

 

[Nothus]

Might as well post this here, new mashup that T-Pain did with Kurt Hugo Schneider (no autotune).
Pretty fucking good tbh!

[jwhit28]

I love T-Pain's music. Too bad he couldn't keep autotune out of Kanye and Lil Wayne's hands though

 

[enzo_gt]

 

[Schlorgan]

I'm On A Boat is the most Feel Good song ever produced.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

T-Pain is amazing. Haters gonna hate. Some of his songs almost sound like a Barbershop Quartet. Not to mention he and Akon changed the sound of pop/hip-hop with their use of autotune. Love it or hate it, it's still popular.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

I can't stop singing along to I'm In Love With A Stripper every time I listen to it lmao

 

[Dynomutt]

Epiphany is a feel good album!

 

[Seven4sses]

He was one of the better voices I listened and jammed to while in middle/high school. I'll always play his Tiny Desk NPR concert whenever I need a pick me up with some r&b.

 

[Umbooki]

His first album (Rappa Ternt Sanga) was low-key good, though. "Dance Floor" is a fun song that gets you up and movin'.

Check this out

I may or may not know all of the lyrics to his first album. Even so, "Bartender" and "Buy you a Drank" are two damn fine songs that take me back. T-Pain must not be forgotten.

T-Pain is also a huge Game of Thrones fan, he should be the next cameo since they like using musicians. Please do it HBO.
