Amazing Album

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 13, 2006

Pros: Unique, fun, and self written and produced by T-Pain

Cons: it's pretty perfect... so i don't understand why it's not getting more recognition!

It's so refreshing to buy a hiphop/r&b album that is talking about things besides drugdealing, explicit sex, and money/cars, especially by a dirty-south artist. Though there is one song about smoking weed, it's unique because it's about h...is first time smoking, and the song is GREAT. The songs that he does have on the album with sexual content aren't offensive and have poetic lyrics with great arrangement. His current single, In Luv With a Stripper, is the only song with lyrics that are a little on the lude side, but it's still not as nasty as a lot of other music out there. What's amazing is how he manages to still keep the hiphop/street feel throughout the album while still having elements that would appeal to the r&b/pop world. So pretty much anyone would enjoy this album. I think this album is ground-breaking and is not getting the recognition it deserves. T-Pain wrote AND produced basically the entire album, which is amazing considering he's only 21 years old! My favorite song on the album is "Fly Away" because it's a real personal account of his life, and it has a jazzy-bigband sound that is unlike any music I've heard in the last 15 years, and the vocal arrangement is awesome. The album also has it's fair share of upbeat songs that aren't the typical "crunk" type of songs you normally hear nowadays; they have his own original flavor with plenty of bass, and i love it. I hope this artist is around for a long time and makes many more albums and produces albums for other people, because I love his style and that he isn't conforming to current music trends... it's like he invented his own genre by fusing hiphop, r&b, and pop together, and the result is a masterpiece.
