About T-Pain
T-Pain is an American singer/rapper/songwriter. So far, he has released a lot of chart-topping hits that catapulted him into stardom. He started Nappy Boy Entertainment in 2005. In that same year, he released his first album Rappa Trent Sanga which captured a new segment of rap fans. So far, he has released 6 albums and you can bet all contain his signature head-nodding beat. T-Pain won a Grammy for the song “Good Life” in 2000.
Two years later, he won another Grammy for his song, “Blame It.” His “Good Life” song won two other awards at the MTV Music Awards and BET Awards. T-Pain is married to Amber Najm and the couple has two sons and one daughter.
T-Pain’s second and third album became #1 in the Billboard R & B chart quickly making the rapper famous. From then on, people recognized him as one of the reigning kings of hip hop. Almost immedietly a lot of the top artists wanted to collaborate with him and the doors were finally open to even great success.
He got featured on the first season of The Masked Singer. Despite the star-studded lineup of artists involved in the TV show, he walked away as the victor. Some of the songs he sang at the show included “This is How We Do It”, “American Woman”, and “Stay With Me.” The show also featured Tori Spelling and LaToya Jackson.
He also appeared in the movie Fast and Furious 7 as himself. The movie grossed $1.5 billion dollars and was seen by millions of people adding to his fame. He also appeared in the movie Liquor Store as a lottery outlet employee. He had a few lines in that movie and made a great impression in the little screen time that he was given.
He then collaborated with movie star Jamie Foxx in the song “Blame It.” The song has several versions but all of them has T-Pain singing the chorus. It is a song about letting loose and getting drunk on the weekend. Another song T-Pain is known for is “I’m N Luv (Wit A Stripper)” featuring artists like TI, R. Kelly, and Paul Wall. It is a long song that tells the story of how rappers always fall for strippers at some point in their life.
T-Pain was involved in more than 50 chart-topping singles from 2006 to 2010 which is how the rapper got rich. One song that stood out is “Bartender” which is his collaboration with Akon. The song is about two guys flirting with a bartender. The music video featured two music icons looking at a hot bartender and it became a massive hit.
Another awesome song that made T-Pain rich was “Buy U a Drank.” A song about what guys would want to do to girls they meet at a club. He also collaborated with R&B singer Chris Brown in two hit songs. One is “Kiss Kiss”, an amazing dance song which has an awesome beat that you just can’t help but dance to whenever you hear it. The other is “Freeze” which is another dance song from T-Pain and Brown that became very popular.
Another song is “5 O’Clock” a song about still being at the club at 5am looking for opportunities. There probably no song of T-Pain’s that is more popular than “Low”, his collaboration with Flo Rida. It is a dance song that’s been picked up and used for all kinds of things since.
T-Pain is so successful because of his chart-topping songs. His classic-soul-singer voice is what makes him so unique and memorable. He’s know to keep his voice in the perfect condition for this by practicing songs and using techniques. He also leverages technology like the use of Auto-tune which, originally used to correct pitch, is used by T-Pain to create a new and bewitching instrument.
One of the reasons T-Pain has been so successful is because of collaboration with other top artists. He had a much-anticipated collaboration album with Lil Wayne called T-Wayne. Perhaps, one of their best duets is “I Can’t Believe It” which tells the story about T-Pain taking girls anywhere in the world. The self-proclaimed king of R&B, R. Kelly also collaborated with T-Pain. Their most well-known collaboration is Same Girl Remix with Usher. The song has outstanding lyrics about three guys finding out that they are in love with the same girl.
Another one of their collaborations is “I’m a Flirt” which is a song about moving your girls away from R. Kelly every time he enters a night club. One awesome collaboration not a lot of people know about is his hit with Ne-Yo and Trey Songz called “The Way You Move.” It is a very rare rare track with three R&B’s hip-hop genres coming together for one gigantic song.
