08/27/07 - T-Pain Kicks It With Kanye

J-Banks · 08-27-2007, 10:05 AM

T-Pain's tour bus is bristling with activity these days. Nope, we're not talking about Screamfest '07 groupies: Teddy Pain has been working. His bus has a full studio, and you'll see anybody from E-40 to Da Brat up in there making new material. He's trying to keep in step with the active schedule of the man who signed him: Akon.

"It's not really competitive. It's like we're working together," Pain said. "We try to not be in the same place at the same time. People be like, 'Why I don't never see you and Akon together, y'all not cool?' Nah, that's when you the most cool. ... We spread out everywhere. If he's in California, I'm in New York. People see me and Akon as the same person, so it's basically like Konvict [Muzik] is spread across the country at the same time. We could cover more places spread out. Now every song on the radio is T-Pain or Akon or featuring Akon or featuring T-Pain."

One of Pain's favorite collabos right now is the remix of R. Kelly and Usher's "Same Girl." T plays the woman-in-question's irate husband.

"Just a couple people I hang around," he laughed about who inspired the lyrics to his verse. "It happens all the time. People's wives get caught up. ... They didn't mean to, it just happens. It's real-life situations. Just because it's somebody's wife don't mean they can't get bounced around. I had to put my twist on it."

For the record, Pain said he's definitely not talking about his own spouse. "I'd be in jail," he said with a laugh when asked what he would do if that situation ever happened to him.

Pain's next big guest appearance will be on Kanye West's next single, "Good Life."

"I had to go in the studio six times and redo the hook. Rewrite it and sing it," he said about working with the perfectionist Kanye. Despite all the changes, Pain said it was an honor. "The last time he wasn't even there; he was just like, 'Do something, man.' Even when we did the video, he did something to the song that day." ...
