Maybe I should all get pissy drunk today. Not because it’s Friday, but because T-Pain has been nominated for FIVE BET Awards.

I know T-Pain is laughing all the way to the bank with this news. He had the secret formula all along: a vocoder and a few guest appearances on some songs. More under the hood. 

“While T-Pain has his own hits, including the chart-topper “Buy U a Drank,” the singer and his electronically manipulated voice are often found on other people’s songs. He received nominations for best collaboration for his work with Chris Brown (“Kiss Kiss”), West (“Good Life”) and Flo Rida (“Low”), while he was also nominated twice in the video of the year category.”

“T-Pain is everywhere,” BET Executive Vice President Stephen Hill told The Associated Press. “He’s got five nominations, none of them for his own work.” (source)

I know that Nate Dogg and some other “hook singers” are highly pissed off right about now.

As for T-Pain, I’ll tell you one thing, come June 24th (BET Awards), should he win, his acceptance speech should be, “I would like to thank my vocoder for taking me this far, without you, I am nothing!”
