rEVOLEr (Deluxe Version)
Artist: T-Pain
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Album Release Date: December 02, 2011
I’ll admit. This is the first time I actually listen to an album of T-Pain. In fact, I haven’t listened to anything released from T-Pain at all. The last song I remember that had any relevance to T-Pain was a song from Hip-Hop artist, Ludacris, called “One More Drink”. It was a decent song. So with that said, I won’t try to bash or rant on this review. This album, to my surprise was a big flop. The album also is kind of confusing to me because the songs all seem like club/dance songs or depressing love songs, one or the other. If you are and person who remembers the 90’s hip-hop and rap scene, I highly doubt this album will appeal to you. There is no real hip-hop or rap here.
Songs like “Bang Bang Pow Pow” and “Look at her Go” are clearly dance songs. To call this hip-hop is, in my opinion insulting to real hip-hop and rap artists. Anyway, the album as I said, Is not bad. But it’s not good as well. I liked a few songs and I believe that’s only because I like club songs.
This album features a lot of great artist but it doesn’t do it any justice. The whole CD could have been a lot better but it fails to capture me. Maybe it’s because I’m an old school hip-hop type of guy. There really isn’t, what I would call, a memorable song here. I found myself never listening to a whole song on this album, even the songs that I chose as good. For example, 5 O’clock is the album’s hit song and it’s pretty bad. Listening to any song was sort of a chore excluding the ones I choice as good. There are only 3 out of 17 songs on this whole album I sort of enjoyed. To be quite honest, it’s a horrible album. T-Pain could do better, especially since he uses auto-tune.
Conclusion: I wish I could write something positive about this CD but it would be hard for me to find something positive. I’m not trying to bash but this album, as I said, fails to capture me. I found it boring and mediocre. It’s funny because this guy uses auto-tune and his music still fails. I don’t hate T-Pain and I’m still open to hearing future releases of his albums. But this one is just lame. I wouldn’t buy this album and would tell T-Pain fans to wait till it’s on sale.
Choice songs: “Center of the Stage”, “Bang Bang Pow Pow” and “Look at her go”.
Recommend: No
