T-Pain: Tallahassee Reign

Faheem Rashad Najm has been a game changer for R&B. Derided at first, T-Pain’s genius method of “misusing” a pitch correction tool (Auto-Tune) has become a go-to technique for so many of the current chart toppers in hip-hop and R&B. Speaking of charts, since his debut album (Rappa Ternt Sanga in 2005), he was a mainstay on hit lists for a run that lasted over a decade! Just getting him on your record was almost a guarantee for massive airplay. And while most begrudgingly (but eventually) acknowledged his singing skills, very little is said about his rapping flair nor his producer chops. And let me not even start about his songwriting aptitude.

In my view, not unlike his contemporary DJ Khaled, T-Pain was much maligned and misunderstood at his popular peak. As for me, I appreciate Tallahassee Pain for all the music that he has put out, the music that he has featured on and the music that he has influenced. So, I hope that this playlist does him justice. And I hope that, as you’re enjoying it, you will finally entertain (and concede) that he deserves to be regarded as a complete artist rather than a pop novelty. Here’s Tallahassee Reign!
