T-Pain - Superman (Pree Ringz Is Better Than Most Rap Albums)
T-Pain > Every MC
T-Pain is a better than your favorite rapper. There I said it. I’ve been waiting for years to make that statement but never had the proof, it was just a hunch. Ok, of course I’m exaggerating, but before ya’ll haters do what you do best check out Teddy’s new Pree Ringz mixtape where he trades in his auto-tuned verses for rap bars and try to front like dude doesn’t go in.
Truthfully Pree Ringz is better than most rap albums and I gotta applaud Pain for his effort. Listening to the tape you can hear influences from greats like Eminem and Big Pun (now I’m not saying Pain=Pun, but at least he is following a dope ass blueprint). On “Superman” the top-hat totin’ MC (yes I said MC; AND WHAT?!?) gets goofy and channels his inner Marshall when he goes, “Look up in the sky its a nigga sellin’ birds on a plane/You ain’t never heard of the Pain/I’m the new superhero of the brand new age/Brand new rims brand new Chevrolet.” Then he bares his soul on “Tha Truth” when he details the real reason for his over-saturation of the game; “I do it for my kids and my kid’s kids/And when I’m dead they’ll come to my grave to tell me what they kids did.” But it’s on “Dig That” where T-Pain really goes in and basically tells the industry to kiss his ass (”How long you think it’s gonna take before they start to respect/The blood and the tears and the sweat/And still don’t forget, where they so called ideas came from/And who they call for ideas when they ain’t none.” Hate if you want, but I much rather hear this than another song about your hood, or how much money you got; real talk Pain is creative as fuck. I’ve tried to convince my fellow XXL co-workers but folks like Mike D. just ain’t convinced, I give him credit though ’cause at my urging he listened to the tape. All I’m saying is this, Pain takes a lot of flak for what’s wrong with hip-hop these days, but the Rappa-Ternt-Sanga (ternt rapper again?!?) is talented as fuck and the T-Pain angst is severely misdirected.
Anyone not named Jay-Z, Kanye, Joe Budden, Nas, Scarface, Andre 3000 or Eminem might get their spot taken by Teddy if they’re not careful. Have at it haters! – Rob The Music Ed

no haten here.. T-pain is a beast mane.. you need to tell your fellow XXL co-workers this kat is responsible for half the hits out right now or infulenced half of them.. half the niggas like plies… 2 pistol… im so hood,… buy u drink, Flo-Rida… etc etc..list go on the boy is on some heat mane.. him and wayne right now seem like the most played artist right now damn near on every station and every song…which kinda seems only right they make that album.. if he not on the track somebody jumped on the vocalizer sound and maken music with it… but you cant still help but to think t-pain when you hear that sound, you gotta give the man respect when respect due..

this is the craziest shit ive read in a while. T-Pain isnt a MC and his lyrics r wack. his flow just sounds good. listen to some cory gunz r jeezy other than t-pain and his gay ass vocalizer.

Comment by Noah aka Prez on 11 September 2008:
Look T-Pain is old now, don’t wanna hear anotha record from him except maybe once a year and he’s lucky for that much! While he did a lot I liked, he did more that a girl liked, which ain’t bad either.
Plus, T-Pain is on sum weird azz I-need-a-new-Top-hat-for-everyday-like-a-Sean-Kingston-need-a-subway-sandwich-real-bad ass! LMAO. Please after dis album drop, no more top hats, no more circus shit [circus clothes, circus dancers, all dat shit] and half of what you did will be forgiven. But diz nigga and Lil Wayne need to shut da fuck up for the next 2 years… seriously. What tha fuck Lil Wayne doin’ makin’ a song wit Cassie instead fuckin’ Cassie?!?! That shit make no sense. Lil Wayne started his gurl songs with Lloyd since he did ‘You’ wit Lloyd and da nigga neva stopped.
He lucky Static Major came up wit Lollipop or dat nigga woulda been fucked - cuz he can’t make his own gurl banger if his life depended on it. And dat Lollipop joint got dem dumb bitches ’round the world humming lollipop, wantin’ his cock n shit. It’s so fuckin’ catchin’ fo dem girls. Den dis nigga jumpin’ on remixes and shit, every muthafuckin’ remix….. I can’t say T-Pain been on every remix. Nigga just be singin’ synthized hooks. Did his thang on ‘I’m so Hood’ goin off in da beginning. No more of dat ‘T-Wayne’ shit eitha, dat’s a gay look.
Den to set da record straight, dem niggas Plies, 2 pistol AND especially Flo-rida ain’t shit! You can add Brisco and Ace Hood to the list. Miami is garbage. They garbage, Plies just tryin’ to get pussy when he make his songs, and nigga ain’t make sense half da time he talk. You got garbage ass Yayo-boobie boy Rick Ross talkin’ about dumb shit while he fuckin’ dream of pussy since no bitch holla at him. Flo-rida… does anybody need me to explain that dumb muthafucka? Wit his Will.i.am Black Eyed Pea joint, In the Ayer?!?!? Mutha fucka only know hooks - dumb ass ones too - I remember I almost killed somebody because they played ‘Get Low’ a million times on da radio!
Well shit could be worse, I could live in New York where ain’t shit to play except fo sorry ass G-Unit shit and sorry ass freestyle niggas talkin’ bout I’m gon murk you, son! in da gully, because I’m hard like Saigon, CRACK!…. y’all niggas need to increase ya vocabulary, been listening to dem bitches Remy Ma n Lil Kim n dem faggots Fat Joe, 50, Jadakiss, and Jay-Z for too long. Y’all lucky you got Busta and Nas.
