Ever since we saw T-Pain wearing a bejeweled Aqua Teen Hunger Force medallion, we were like What is that guy’s deal? It turns out that his deal is that he was giving a bit of free promotion to Adult Swim executive Nick Weidenfeld (who’s Silver Jews feature from F31 also appeared in the 2006 edition of Da Capo’s Best Music Writing series). Weidenfeld, along with Jacob Escobedo (collaboratively known as Bank Head), is responsible for the entire album packaging behind T-Pain’s upcoming album Thr33 Ringz, as well as the video for “Karaoke,” which features T-Pain in full battle rap mode. Also included: DJ Khaled intimidating old white people by yelling so close to their faces that he spits into their mouths, and Akon going nuts on the bongo drums and looking really proud of himself.

You know that magician who hypnotizes people and then makes them dance like chickens by snapping his fingers? That’s kinda how we feel about DJ Khaled. It’s like, yo dude you cannot pass off another T-Pain + Rick Ross + Runners song on us and expect us to (snap)… oh this is a JAM SON! There’s actually more free will involved in liking this but still. Ace Gutta is Khaled’s first signee to We The Best Music, so expect to hear this formula repeated, hopefully to good effect.

The first 19 verses of this are still completely baniddles, but somewhere around oh let’s say right after Wayne’s verse it falls off the face of the Earth. And if Busta wants to become the Mr T of rap we might support that movement. Oh and Big Boi is our favorite rapper today. And also WHERE IS T-PAIN?
