T-Pain talks about not working with Eminem.
T-Pain was recently streaming online, playing games, and interacting with fans, and answering their questions. One of the fans asked T-Pain why he has never worked with Detroit rapper Eminem.
Tallahassee-based writer and vocalist T-Pain has over 50 chart-topping singles to his credit, including collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Chance the Rapper. However, he believes that a collaboration with Eminem is unlikely.
“How about a track with Shady? You know how everybody says like, somebody has told a story about you that is completely thrown stranger off from everyone to meet you? I think Royce did that to Eminem and I don’t think Eminem ever wants to meet me because we had a misunderstanding and Royce Da 5’9″ thinks I’m a d*ck. Well, they thought I was a d*ck until I met back up and I think he told Eminem that I was a d*ck and Eminem was just like ‘I got it’,” says T-Pain.
The new record of T-Pain has an imposing title, Stoicville:The Phoenix . T-Pain’s 5th album, said to have been cancelled, include more than 100 tracks and sessions recorded over 5 years! Supported by boats with single boats, most popular with the B.o.B, Drinkin Patna and Bad Bitches Link Up with Juicy J and Trey Songz. In 2017, the LP was afterwards revived with Oblivion without previously published singles.
T-Pain was probably referring to Royce da 5’9″ lines on ‘Lighters‘ with Eminem & Bruno Mars where he rapped, “I remember when T-Pain ain’t wanna work with me. My car starts itself, parks itself, and auto-tunes.”
Recently, T-Pain and Kehlani have collaborated on a new single, “I Like Dat,” which was released on Friday. The song, which is based on a modified version of T-“Buy Pain’s U a Drank,” has T-Pain express his love and gratitude for the woman in his life by alternating between AutoTuned singing and rap verses: “She don’t do 9 to 5/Hundred thousand watchers on her IG live.” In the second verse, Kehlani appears to brag about her accomplishments: “Every band I’m throwing on stage, I got in my name, all that/And I ain’t throwing twenty or tens, I’m out here paying rent and all that.”
As a pop-innovator, T-Pain only starts getting the recognition he deserves. His usage of Auto-Tune in the 1900s predicted not just the 1980’s and the heartbreaks of Kanye West, but the success of two of Drake and Future, the two greatest hip-hop artists and newcomers such as Ty Dolla $ign.
Royce also talked about this earlier this year in an interview with Genius.
