You ever ponder how differently T-Pain’s career would’ve panned out had Jay not recorded “D.O.A.”? It’s like the bottom dropped out and Pain’s been struggling to keep his head above water ever since. The new album RevolveR is somewhere stuck between a release date and exile, but a new record with Wiz Khalifa and an appropriate Lily Allen sample have things looking up momentarily. Believed to be the next single, the lighthearted and chill vibe about the art of the late night booty call plays right up T-Pain’s playful catalog. Plus, the video’s allegedly already been shot in Amsterdam’s infamous Red Light District.
With cooler weather quickly approaching, and people looking for body warmth during the frigid months of November to February, this could become an anthem of sorts. Had this been 2007 or 2008, there’s no question about the potential for said record. But since it’s not, we’re probably looking at this falling on stereotyped ears who wrote him off awhile ago. Damn shame, too. For what it’s worth, Wiz does manage to harmonize one mean note in his verse though. That was pretty entertaining.

Of course DOA did Pain in!? He’s gone into full producer mode though during his absence.
I think the current popularity of Future proves that autotune in general is alive and well. T-Pain was just overexposed.
the lily allen sample > the song
NOT Bad… !!! NOT bad @ all… !!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Who in the fuck is future?
That song z dope
Wiz rocks very more than much wtf 2 all hes haterz
If anyone really thinks DOA did T-Pain in, you gotta stop drinking the Kool Aid… DOA did nothing, especially when T-Pain got onstage in the middle of the song, one of the most successful artists at the t
DOA killed T-Pain’s career? What a joke. People ignored Jay and autotune is still alive and well. People stopped caring about Pain 2 years ago. He overexposed himself and got lost in the shuffle.
His songs after that point have definitely not been hits. I used to bump his records on the regular – they were very (very) good. He once churned out hit after hit as if it were nothing. He was one of the best vocal arrangers in the business and on top of that… his beats were dope.
If anything, I think Jay made him doubt himself. And as a result, his music has suffered greatly. (Or perhaps his time was just over – but I would bet on it being the aforementioned – you do not just drop off that quickly)
I have not heard a T-Pain record that I have listened to more than once since that time. Add this one to that collection.
For what it’s worth, Wiz does manage to harmonize one mean note in his verse though.
