Despite bringing Auto-Tune into the mainstream, this song isn’t very heavy on Auto-Tune, which is a rare find on this list. We’ll kick off this list with T-Pain’s first top-10 Billboard song. I’m Sprung T-Pain (2005) Billboard Hot 100 Peak: 8 I don’t expect you to agree with all the rankings (although I won’t argue about the top four songs), but I hope this starts a conversation about a top-hat wearing, (formerly) dreadlocked, Auto-Tuned rapper (ternt sanga) who is somehow only 29.Ģ5. This is a list of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists ever. He sang all his best songs for well over an hour and even free-styled over Royals by Lorde. ![]() I was lucky enough to see T-Pain live at Vanderbilt’s Rites of Spring this year, and it was pretty much the greatest moment of my life. We even got such gems as T-Pain collaborating with Adult Swim and Cartoon Network to create hilarious animated shorts like “ Auburn Sucks” and the 90-minute movie “ Freaknik: The Musical,” plus he used his (in)famous Auto-Tune on President Obama. ![]() Yes, he got to work with great artists such as Kanye West, Ludacris, and Lil Wayne, but he also helped create plenty of one-hit wonders by singing iconic hooks for no-name artists like Maino, 2 Pistols, and Baby Bash.

The number one song on this list is more or less my favorite song ever. T-Pain was dominating the Billboard when I was that age, and his songs are among my favorite. There’s a great article in the New York Times that notes how 14 is a formative age for musical tastes. Kanye West is the greatest artist of this generation, Usher was the first artist I ever saw live in concert, and T-Pain made more iconic anthems than anyone during my early years of listening to pop music (2007-08). They’ve been fun to write, got good conversations going, and, more than anything, allowed me to enjoyed thinking a lot about my favorite songs of the past decade.Įach of the three artists I’ve ranked so far have been important to me. ![]() You can also check out my Top 10 DJ Khaled songs. That changed two years ago when I ranked my Top 20 Kanye West songs and followed it up with my Top 20 Usher songs last summer. In my seven years of blogging, I’ve pretty much always stuck to sports. Between my 2015 Baseball Preview and coverage of Vanderbilt baseball, I’ve had plenty to keep me busy, but I wanted to bring back an old favorite this summer. As you may (or may not) have noticed, I haven’t done a ton of writing on this website this year. ![]()
