The craziest offense is "Studio Luv," in which he comes out sounding more than a little silly: "you remind me of a brand new saxophone," "your body's like a flute," "do you mind if I pluck up on your strings," "I would stroke your body like I do my keyboard." Another hindrance is the digital vocal processing that pops up as often as water droplets in R. T-Pain has a seductive vocal style (he does sound somewhat similar to his mentor), plenty of effective hooks, and strong productions, but he presses too much when he tries to stick out lyrically. Rappa Ternt Sanga, beyond containing a few strong tracks with plenty of range between them, shows promise. Davis will understand.T-Pain caught Akon's attention when he released a version of "Locked Up" titled "I'm F***ed Up." When Akon heard T-Pain's voice and realized there was more depth to the version than the title implied, he got in contact with the Florida-based "rappa ternt sanga" (who also produces and writes) and signed him to his Jive-distributed Konvict Muzik label.
The whole thing is pretty endearing, plus it's going viral, which means you probably won't have to apologize to people individually. “Press conference? Town hall meeting? I’m dumb.”ĭon't sweat it, man. “How do I super apologize?” T-Pain implored his viewers. A lot of the comments on his TikTok were from people demanding he prioritize DMing Viola Davis. Most of the accounts he ignored have millions of followers apiece. (quit it out) Oh girl we're through, ooooooooo Don't call my phone now, (now) Bet u think, (u think) I wanna speak. Verse 3 - T Pain Then finally, (ring) I get a call, (a call) A call from u. Oooh girl, ur not the same anymore, Ur not the same. T-Pain clearly feels really bad about accidentally being stone cold on social media, which is partly why the whole thing is so funny. I rather get it while it's hot, Than steal it while it's not. But unlike T-Pain, whose DM graveyard is a sea of love notes from famous celebs, mine is more typically filled with pyramid schemes disguised as invitations to "collab" and unsolicited penis pics (but not from Chris Evans, sadly). Who hasn't lost money because they missed an email with a job opportunity that should've been flagged "important?" I recently apologized to a new acquaintance I wasn't following, who'd been sweetly reacting to my Instagram Stories for months and wound up in the limbo of "message requests," too. Honestly dude, lots of us feel your T-Pain. You Don't Know-50 Cent, Eminem, Cashis & Lloyd Banks 08. Hmm, sounds like Mark Zuckerberg needs to rethink Instagram's UX. We're Back-Eminem, Obie Trice, Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater & Cashis 03. In the comments on his post, celebrities like Ashanti and Lauren Jauregui confessed they'd had the same issue. "I thought DMs were supposed to just show up in the normal folder and you don't have to go digging for all these," he explained. T-Pain didn't leave them on read, just unread. Viola Davis' assistant, Anton, tried reaching out 97 weeks earlier, as did former NBA player Nate Robinson, who wrote, "Yo bro," 74 weeks in the past.
Rapper YBN Nahmir sent flame emojis 61 weeks ago. "Dude, is that Fergie?! Smh," T-Pain lamented, realizing she'd mentioned him in her Story 112 weeks prior. "I’ve been accidentally straight up ignoring all these people for like two years," T-Pain said, shaking his head at the deluge of DMs from verified accounts.ĭiplo wrote, "Hey boss," 84 weeks ago.
"I was today years old when I found out about the request folder on Instagram that's full of celebs trying to reach me," T-Pain wrote on TikTok. In an extremely relatable epiphany, the hip-hop/R&B hitmaker realized yesterday that the app has multiple inboxes, with a separate tab for message requests. If you messaged T-Pain on Instagram anytime in the last two years, there's a decent chance you'll finally hear back from him today.
