Thr33 Ringz

The other day I picked up a cd that in my opinion is fire. Im not talking about the new Weezy or DJ Khalad, Im talking about T-Pain's Thr33 Ringz. The cd is better than I expected, I always knew that T-Pain was creative and one of the best artist. He is everywhere from remixes to singing the hook in songs. The hardest verse that I heard of his was the one in Im So Hood. Anyway thats straying from the point im trying to make. T-Pain's Thr33 Ringz was more than likely to blow up and I can see why. This cd really shows his creative side with the beats and his songs. The title is even creative. It comes from him almost running the hip-hop/rap/r&b game that its almost like he's running a circus. Thats why if you've seen him lately he's always wearing a top hat because he's just like a ringleader.

That brings me to the first real track on the cd. In Ringleader Man, Pain takes on the persona of a ringleader. The beat is sounds like a classic circus theme. In the hook he even says "this is my circus, im working, i can flip this whole thing with one hand", showing that he's the leading man. In the second verse he says that the industry is his circus. In the song Karaoke, he talks about all the artist who are jacking his swagger. In music today everyone is trying to be like him by using the autotuner that gives his voice its uniqueness. Everybody is using it from 50 cent, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Birdman, and others, but Pain says that the only ones that he apreciates using it are Kanye and Lil Wayne. He continues to show his love of stripers on the track Can't Believe It. On this track he talks about how he could provide a better life for her because her profession is just going to get her hurt. Finally on the track Chopped N Skrewed, he shows his creative side. He takes a regular chopped and screwed song, which is a slowed down version of a song, with the lyrics chopped up in certain spots and sometimes repeats. (Its not as bad as it sound). T-Pain's song is called that because he's talking about girls who lead guys on, only to just diss them at the end of the night. He keeps the elements of a chopped and screwed song only it is played at a regular place, so dont worry its not slow.

Overall T-Pain's new album, Thr33 Ringz is a great buy for anyone who loves music.
