T-Pain: From Stripper to Suicide

As much as I hate to admit it, I have to give props where props are due! Your boy T-Pain, who I personally never thought would see a sophomore project, has not only kept his industry attendance up, but must be planning some kind of take-over. Obviously, he is on every last single remix that hits the airwaves, but with this week's release of his sohopmore project, Epiphany, T-Pain leaves some critics wondering whether he's a superstar in the making.


Off top, T-Pain is definitely coming harder than his first project; let's look at the 1st singles: I'm Sprung vs. Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin') I guess there's really no need to comment, but what I'd really like to discuss is the obvious growth in conversation and lyrical content on this new project. We all probably came to love T-Pain (ok, like him at least) through his mega-hit and remix, I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper), but we all know we thought to ourselves, "he ain't talking about nothing!!!" (unless you just left Magic City or one of the sorts) But T-Pain is coming a little different on this album. While the album is highly infused with songs that make you want to run to the liquor store, the album also holds tracks that touch on real life issues that affect lots of today's youth and adults. Take track 5, I got It & track 6, Suicide. Track 5 is an interlude into 6, and discuss with the growing issue of HIV and LOVE in today's society. This is a topic that lots of artists think about, but not many have had the balls to touch (even after the rumor hit that a Houston rapper was speading this disease). There isn't much I want to really say on the topic, I think T-Pain hit the nail on the head, But I would like to pose a question and offer you the chance to give BRiSON a little feedback: Please place all comments in the CONTACT US field
Could you continue to stay with someone that's HIV positive, but your status is HIV negative? Or do you see that as a form of SUICIDE???
