T-Pain Brings Tallahassee its First Grammy

Posted on February 14, 2008

T-PainI’m late on posting this, but let me say that I am very proud of T-Pain winning a Grammy this past weekend (for guesting on Kanye’s “Good Life”).

I’m pretty sure he’s the first person from Tallahassee, Florida to do so (don’t quote me on that) and let me tell you there are a lot of people here chomping at the bit to become the next Grammy winners (or at least to have a number one ringtone *rolls eyes*)

Living in Tallahassee, I was privy to hearing him with the Nappy Headz as local stars and then to hearing about his growth from local star to national (international?) star. 2007 was definitely the “Year of T-Pain” and saw no less than 13 singles that featured him as the main or guest artist.

So to T-Pain a.k.a. Tallahassee-Pain nee Faheem Najm, congrats!

    I like T-Pain’s work…at least his guest appearances. I truly think that is all I can tolerate of the synthetic voice.

    Marcus - There’s been a couple of times I’ve heard him without the synthesizer voice and I liked it, he’s a decent singer, but I think that it’s become his trademark so I don’t think he’ll ditch it anytime soon

    FandF - glad you like the site. I aims to please. Feel free to come back anytime, lol!
