Is T-Pain Out of Line?

t-pain

T-Pain must have a knack for pissing off people in hip-hop still far more influential than he is.

First Jay-Z had a problem with him, and now after this shirt, we might need to add Diddy to the list.

Although the debate is still in the air as to whether or not Cassie leaked those nude photos for attention, isn’t it disrespectful to wear a shirt with that image on it? You know, given that they’re all peers in the same industry?

T-Pain on “D.O.A.”

Published by Runteldat on Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 11:50 am.

fabolous-tweet1

Well judging from Fabolous’ tweets we can officially confirm that T-Pain is not a fan of Jay-Z’s “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune).”

If I were T-Pain, I wouldn’t give the song that much energy. When you think about, “D.O.A.” said more about the song itself than it did the Roger Troutman remix.

The song came, went, and was chopped and screwed on the charts.

Meanwhile, T-Pain’s iPhone app is selling like crazy.

So flop aside, Jay-Z’s still rich and relevant, T-Pain’s still around making money off Autotune, and Fab…well he’s spreading gossip online. I don’t know, maybe he’ll get more Twitter followers out of it.

Why are ya’ll mad again? Go count your money or something, ya’ll, and be happy.

Gimme, Gimme More

It seems like every other day there’s a new baby mama looking to collect more funds from an artist and/or athlete that knocked them up.

This time it’s T-Pain’s baby mama looking for an upgrade in child support.

You might know her: Her name is Elisa Hood, or “Ms. Cherry” as she was referred to on VH1’s Miss Rap Supreme.

It seems Elisa’s cherry was the subject of T-Pain’s interest…though he’s very much married. Now that the two have a child, Elisa says she’s struggling while T-Pain is out bragging on wax.

Sandra Rose has the scoop on their recent mediation to resolve child support issues:

According to court documents, this dead beat dad pulls down $15 million a year in records sales, royalties and appearance fees. He owns an impressive collection of almost 40 luxury vehicles, including a Lambo, Bentley and a Phantom. Yet the cheapskate and his attorney put an offer on the table for a mere $500 per month more than the $2,000 he is already paying Ms. Hood in support for their 2-year-old son King!

From what I hear, Ms. hood left his offer sitting on the table — as well she should have — and a court date is pending in family court.

Well, normally I think most baby mamas need to get up and get a job, but if a guy is on video bragging about a $400,000 chain around his neck, he’s asking to be chopped and screwed.

Weekend Fix: The Game Disses Jay and Bey; Plus Lil’ Kim and Lil’ Wayne News

Published by Dior Noir on Friday, July 10, 2009 at 3:00 pm.

game-jay-z

The Game is not playing! For years the Compton rapper has been taking shots at Jay-Z, but he upped the ante recently (guess he really, really needs some publicity?) taking the drama overseas.  In a  concert in Madrid The Game repeatedly chanted “Fu–k Jay-Z….old ass ni–a” (and even got the crowd to join in!) before spitting a diss rap over Hov’s “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)” beat. He let the low blows roll and even took shots at Beyonce rapping:

This isn’t about Beef/This isn’t about Destiny/I’m in Madrid banging the c-p-t/You got a bad b–ch word?/Ain’t no pu–y like hers?/Just ask the Mavericks, Rockets, and the Spurs/ I mean… I mean my b–ch don’t slang p–sy like that.”

Wilin’!  Now Jay has previously said that he won’t be responding to The Game’s taunts, but I wonder what he’ll have to say now that Bey’s name has been dragged into the picture?

In other crazy performance news: Lil’ Kim is scheduled to take the stage with Cyndi Lauper at a concert to honor South African President Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday. All I want to know is who approved that!? While I’ve been know to get down to a Queen Bee song or two, somehow I can’t imagine the elderly Mandela rocking to “Big Momma Thang” overseas. Other performers include Stevie Wonder, Queen Latifah, Wyclef, Aretha Franklin, will.i.am and err T-Pain (doesn’t he seem a little out of place on this bill too? He better not wear that “Big A– Chain” he’s been rocking as of late!). Should be an interesting production to say the least.

Meanwhile, Lil Wayne’s being sued yet again for blowing off a concert. TMZ reports that Red City Entertainment is coming after Weezy for $432,000 for failing to appear at his own concert in the Bahamas (police went to check on the rapper when he didn’t show and found him unconscious). Wayne just canceled a European tour citing “health problems” earlier this month and has been sued for flaking on concerts in the past. I don’t know what’s wrong with this man, but I know one thing: with all these baby mamas and new tots on the way, he needs to stop playing and make that money. Those child support bills are about to start piling up real soon!

Fashion Flashback: MJ Influenced Style at the BET Awards

Published by Dior Noir on Monday, June 29, 2009 at 3:00 pm.

jamiefoxxThere’s already plenty of buzz surrounding last night’s BET Awards and while I was interested to see who would take home what award, I think we can all pretty much agree that everyone who tuned in was on the edge of their seats waiting to see what would be done to honor Michael Jackson.

Throughout all of the music and the moments paying homage to The King of Pop I was fixated on all of the the Michael-influenced fashions (No comment on Beyonce’s tiara-topped wedding/Victoria’s Secret Runway ensemble and T-Pain’s “Big A– Chain”)!  Michael’s trend-setting status, though more subtle than his musical impact, is undeniable.  From the leather jackets (specifically the red one in the “Beat It” video and the two-toned one in the “Thriller” video which designer Margiela recreated in 2008!), to the marching-band style jackets, to the sparkly socks and other distinct stage costumes you can definitely find traces of MJ’s style infused in the looks of stars like Beyonce, Rihanna, Usher and Chris Brown, just to name a few.

Last night I looked forward to seeing the stars bring it fashion-wise on the red carpet and during performances and while several kept their MJ nods low key by simply accessorizing with the iconic one-hand glove (shout out to Estelle, Alicia Keys, Day 26, Sean Paul etc!) some people really went all out with their outfits! Below were some of my favorites from the night.

Jamie Foxx

As the night’s host, Jamie Foxx made several wardrobe changes and each look had a Michael theme. Now I have a feeling he was fronting and playing the air guitar during this performance of “Blame It,” but he looked every bit a rock star and his tee was plenty Bad.

keri hilson

The curly coif, the cropped pants with socks, the sparkly top?  Keri Hilson won in my book! Miss Keri baby, Mike would’ve been proud of the way you nailed his look!

neyo

Now the original Gloved One would’ve at least had the decency to rock a hat (*side eye* this bald look…) but Ne-Yo gets some points for his crisp leather jacket and crimson gloves.

Ciara

I still don’t understand why Ciara did a sit-down ballad performance of “Heal The World” instead of, um, coming with an uptempo performance highlighting her strong suit: dancing, but at least she had the look down with this sequined and tassel detailed jacket.

Monica

Keyshia Cole’s bedazzled top and capris during this performance of “Trust” confused me, but Monica came with it modernizing Michael’s signature marching-band jacket style with long leather gloves and hip-hugging tights.

Ronnie devoe

Ronnie DeVoe of New Edition/B.B.D fame channeled the ABC-era Michael in a fringed vest, newsboy cap and shades.

Who do you think rocked Michael’s signature looks best?

So Much For T-Pain’s Secrecy

Published by Runteldat on Friday, May 1, 2009 at 12:00 pm.

Here’s yet another reason on why it’s important to proof read. What was supposed to be a blind item has since been screen capped and spread all over the internet.

Ill Seed over at All Hip Hop meant to keep this blind item about T-Pain under wraps, but hey, once something is published online it never goes away.

“You ain’t hear this from me but, my Ex is a dancer and saw [popular rapper in Florida] in her popular Miami strip club getting a dance from a stripper and he had one of his homeboys with him and his homeboy had his leg over [the rapper’s] leg in [the rapper’s] crotch area. His leg was in between T Pain’s legs while the stripper was dancing for them. Very suspect.”

Your bad.

When Golf Carts Attack

Published by Runteldat on Monday, March 30, 2009 at 12:01 am.

There is nothing worse in this world than a yuck mouth, so I say this with the greatest sincerity: I’m glad you got your teeth back, T-Pain even if they do remind me of the yellow brick road. 

Word leaked that the other “radio killa” was involved in a serious accident involving his golf cart in San Antonio a few days ago. Because of the incident, T-Pain missed out on two tour stops in California in addition to a video shoot for Lil’ Kim’s single, “Download.”

Although to be fair to T-Pain, even with missing teeth he would probably still look more normal on screen than Lil’ Kim depending on the make up artist that day.

All that being said, T-Pain, is a trooper. Last night he rejoined Lil’ Wayne’s “I Am Music” tour. He told the crowd in Universal City, California, “I bust my ass. I’d show you the marks, but I don’t wanna pull my pants down right now.”

How thoughtful. T-Pain also let the crowd know that he wasted not time finding a dentist. 

“I got my teeth fixed the same day. Rich ni–a teeth.”

Let’s hope the dentist never has to put a lien on his mouth.

Glad you bounce back quickly, T-Pain. Hopefully no promoter will sue you for the days you did miss. Start playing tennis just in case.

T.I. Follows T-Pain Lead In Virginity War

Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 4:39 pm.

T.I.

Last week we talked about how T-Pain reportedly lost his virginity at the age of 10.

Well, now its T.I.’s turn to come out and let the whole world know when he started getting busy.

The rapper was on the Tyra Banks show and explained that he lost his virginity at the age of 11, but justified getting busy at a young age by the fact that he and the girl had two kids together later on.

Who knew having sex resulted in having children?

For the record, T.I. has five children – two of which he has had with Tiny, his on again/off again girlfriend from Xscape.

Hopefully this will be the last rapper who feels the need to show off his masculinity by telling the world at what age they first started having sex.

T-Pain Was Getting Busy At Age 10

Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Friday, October 24, 2008 at 4:47 pm.

T-Pain

In case you haven’t gotten your share of T-Pain this week around the BET Hip-Hop Awards, we have even more news on the rapper.

In the November issue of Spin magazine, the master of the vocoder reveals that he lost his virginity at the age of 10.

“Well, that was the first stripper. I’ve had a lot of sexual experience in my life. A whole lot. I lost my virginity when I was ten. That helped me out a lot. I had a lot of older brothers, and they had pornos, so I kinda knew what I was doing already.”

Who is having sex while still in elementary school?

Good lord!

Let’s just hope he wasn’t watching those pornos with his older brothers because that would be very “How you doin?”
