Mariah Carey’s Forthcoming Album To Spotlight Everyone Who Isn’t Mariah Carey
Don’t call the (probably inevitable) commercial retooling of Mariah Carey’s Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel a remix album: “They’ve said that it’s a remix album, but really what it is is a features album. [The songs] won’t necessarily be remixed,” producer Tricky Stewart told Rap-Up.com. “...

The Backstreet Boys, Now With Added T-Pain
• ”The fact the four-piece have roped in the talents of Max Martin (theirs and Britney’s songwriting saviour), RedOne (Lady Gaga’s favourite knob twiddler) and coolster T-Pain, highlight their pop ambitions. And the verdict is: for our sins, we actually quite like it.” [Sarah-Louise J...

If It’s Tuesday, It Must Be Time For T-Pain To Appear On Other Pop Stars’ Songs
R. Kelly has released the remix of his sex-as-chart-topper single “Number One,” which features T-Pain and Keyshia Cole, and lest you think that T-Pain was totally giving up on digitally manipulating his voice for the purpose of topping the charts, the new track is an AutoTune-drenched a...

Taylor Swift Lives Out American Teenagers’ Rite Of Passage With T-Pain
As far as joke rappers go, Taylor Swift–who performed the above “Thug Story” with the ever-Autotuned T-Pain as part of last night’s CMT Awards–falls somewhere between Fred Durst and Rappin’ Rodney. Swift picked up two trophies for her actual “Love Story” clip, and the video’s director T...

T-Pain Sued For Stealing "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)" From TV's Huggy Bear [Rappa Turnt Steala]
So here's how the great "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)" heist of 2005 went down. Three producers—Rodney King (no, not him), Jeff Byrd, and James Reese—wrote a song named "Makin' Luv 2 A Player" in 1997, which was then recorded by Antonio Fargas, a.k.a. TV's "Huggy Bear." A year later, King and Fargas...

Lil Mama Gets Real, Encourages T-Pain To Join Her
Lil Mama told SOHH over the weekend that her album VYP—which has fallen off the Billboard charts after just two months in stores—was completely botched by Jive. "My fan base is out of this world and the youth really look up to me and I know for a fact my album wasn't promoted correctly because p...

A Love That Shall Never Wayne
The notion of needing to drop a classic album seems slightly antiquated, but in fact it isn't. While short stories, short films, and single MP3s obviously have their merits, no amount of postmodernist revision will ever alter the fact that the novel, the feature film, and the album will re...

Two Pop Acts You Should Prepare Yourself To Hate
At this point, living in the world of Flo-Rida, you might find yourself hoping for some sort of respite from hearing "Low" or "Elevator" every hour of every day. Be careful what you wish for, however, as the music biz powers that be have focused their efforts on two new stars-to-possibly-be...

Lil' Mama Demolishes Everyone In Her Path [Listening Station]
Is it just me, or does Lil Mama simply demolish T-Pain when it comes to flow? I swear there was one part during T-Pain's first verse that caused me to have a vision of him running behind the song, panting all the way. Lil Mama, meanwhile, is namechecking Twista in her verses, which almost sound...

Leak Of The Day: T-Pain Bellies Up To The Bar
Oh, T-Pain—how you torture us! Every time we start falling for one of your dumbed-down strip-club odes, you kick in with those ridiculously hammy vocal effects. Until the day you decide to stop singing like Cher, singles like "Buy U A Drank" are always going to sound better as ringtones:
