Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A frisbee if I ever heard one..................... Comment: Liked chopped & screwed thats about it. Hated the Eric Clapton remake of Change The World the most. Dont touch classics! If only talent matched the ego. Customer Rating: Summary: THR33 R!NGZ Comment: I like this album. T-Pain has done it again. THis album stands as a sonic odyssey brimming with innovation. The title of this album mean that he is the ringleader of this game (circus imagery). This album is quite the musical journey, complete with highs and lows, smash singles, and unexpected twists. With this album,this world expects nothing less than another magical musical adventure from T-Pain. Customer Rating: Summary: He does it again..... Comment: At first I was a little skeptical but T-Pain does it again.... Most of his tracks you have to listen to more than once to like them but I loved the whole album...... Customer Rating: Summary: This is a special kind of garbage Comment: How this guy gets paid to put this out is one of the great mysteries of the world. After breaking on the scene with the grammatical superhit "Can I buy you a drank?", he follows up Epiphany, or as I call it, bucket o' trash, with this nugget. This guy makes Lil Wayne sound talented and Soulja Boy the next Chuck D. My friend Kroll was playing this thing when we were cruising last week on Dodge for chicks in his tricked out Type 10 Chevy Cavalier. After the first track, it was like watching a car wreck. Every track was horrid and had no real value to society, but we kept listening. His voice, awful, songwriting, awful, his shoes, awesome. I watched a documentary about my greatness last night on Nick Jr. and realized it's about time for the new Asschowder album to be cut and dropped on the world. T-Pain showed me just how far the music biz has fallen. I got on the horn with Burns, Chad, Kroll and J-Abs. It is time to put the tracks down. I've written some off the hook stuff like Tuna Lady and My Car is smoking candy cigarettes. The content is earth shattering and we are hotter than N'Sync was when they came out, but we play instruments and have opinions on North Korea. So save your money and don't buy this right now. Buy some Richard Marks or just wait for our album. You don't want to encourage average or it won't leave your front door. Customer Rating: Summary: Improvement Over Last Effort; 3 ½ stars Comment: To call T-Pain a truly mature artist would be quite the overstatement. What is not an overstatement is the fact that T-Pain is one of urban music's most talented artists/producers today. On THR33 RINGZ, "Teddy Pain" shows himself to be more mature than he has on either of his previous two albums. THR33 RINGZ still has its clear flaws, but this time around, Pain has his stuff together. The album opens with an intro (typical T-Pain) concerning the "circus" theme of THR33 RINGZ. Following, he opens up with the enjoyable, if silly "Ringleader". However you take "Ringleader", vocally, T-Pain does sound good. Following "Ringleader", the albums sells its best track, "Chopped N Skrewed", featuring none other than Ludacris. What is most surprising is that Pain performs the song without being extremely lewd (surprising). The production is among the best I've heard on any album of 2008 and Ludacris is on top of his game (check out THEATER OF THE MIND if you haven't). Following "Chopped N Skrewed", another humorous, if pointless skit ("Take A Ride") follows. Finally, we arrive at another true album cut, "Freeze", featuring Chris Brown. It proves to be another hit, though not quite as strong as the exceptionally well done "Chopped N Skrewed". It is definitely above average. "Blowing Up" features 'Go-Girl' Ciara herself and keeps THR33 RINGZ consistent. Then the ubiquitous radio hit "Can't Believe It" featuring an incredibly 'garbled' Lil Wayne on vocoder appears, clearly the album's lead single. Things fall off a bit after this point, but there are still a line of credible, sound performances. While "It Ain't Me" featuring Akon & T.I. isn't among the 'best of the best' it is a decent cut worthy of a couple of spins in the CD player or on the iPod. Skipping over another crazy skit, "Therapy" featuring Kanye West proves to be a strong performance by all means (I guess Kanye still raps these days...) "Long Lap Dance" is average, while "Reality Show" featuring Musiq Soulchild, Raheem DeVaughn & Jay Lyriq (which is introduced by another ridiculous skit), is solid. "Keep Going" and "Superstar Lady" featuring Young Cash are both more filler than stellar, while the final three tracks end THR33 RINGZ almost as strongly as it started. "Change" is great featuring Diddy, Akon, and Mary J. Blige. "Digital" isn't bad either, though it is final track "Karaoke" featuring DJ Khaled that solidifies that THR33 RINGZ is an improvement over previous T-Pain albums. True, T-Pain has more improvement to make as an artist, but THR33 RINGZ shows how much potential that "Teddy Pain" has. He's still stuck in the club to an extent, but at least he has toned down some of the "stripper talk" that pervaded his past two albums (I won't cite examples). Not perfect, but the right advancement for T-Pain in my eyes. And overall sound R&B effort. 3 ½ stars. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Explicit Version. 2008 release from the Hip Hop artist, producer and songwriter. It's evident T-Pain has another hit on his hands with the album's first single, 'Can't Believe It,' featuring Lil Wayne which is a about "getting a girl to ride with you," says T-Pain. Other tracks on the album include 'Freeze', featuring Chris Brown, an up-tempo jam that is destined to be the dancefloor hit of the year, 'Chopped & Screwed', a lyrically clever urban anthem featuring Ludacris, 'Karaoke', a personal and controversial declaration to the industry featuring DJ Khaled and 'Therapy', a collaboration with Kanye West.
