This seems like something that could and does happen. It sucks Tpain is a talented as fuck musician and lover of music. Id keep pumping them out under a pseudonym and then do a mass reveal in 5 years as a fuck you to the racists.
T-Pain writes country music? That’s kind of insane, lol. I would not have guessed that. What are some of his songs so I can give them a listen?
Racism in the country music scene? Now that can’t be right /s
What a liar. Nikki Haley said there is no racism in America. s/
It doesn’t surprise me because he is talented. Also, for a genre will about Americana, it always seemed to be against diverse artists. Lots of gatekeeping going on. The Grand Ole Opry has existed since 1925 but has only 2 black members: Charley Pride and Darius Rucker
I’m not surprised and suprised. Any time I hear modern country it sounds like hick hop to me.
It would be honestly hilarious if “Try that in a small town” was actually ghost written by T-Pain, but country stars are too racist to give credit to a black man, even after the song was outed as obviously racist. They would rather be seen as racist than clear it up by giving credit to someone they are actively racist against.
Why is racism in quotes?
The headline should be: Black talent are forced to hide their contributions to certain genres due to rampant institutionalized racism
The “T” in “T-Pain” stands for “Try That in a Small Town”
T-Pain is a national treasure. I hate the trend he started, but it don’t blame him for it
Why is everybody so mean to T-Pain? He’s like the nicest guy in the planet from everything I’ve ever seen. But people just take shots at this guy all fucking day.
He was writing songs for Jimmy Rebel.
After hearing his cover of War Pigs, I’d love to hear him front a hard rock band!
Callem out callem out!!!
The color line in American music between blues and country has always been BS
The dude fucked a mermaid. There’s nothing he can’t do.
Every style of music has this problem with some fans. Body Count took 20 years to find their place in metal. Ice-t has a lot to be proud of.
As far a country music War and Treaty have a nice classic sound.
T-Pain has never gotten the credit he deserves!!
that’s cool! and then sad. and then not surprising.
This man is supremely gifted with music. More people need to be exposed to his stuff. Amazingly gifted artist.
