T-Pain has made some of his most famous music with rappers.
But don't call him one.
Pain pushed back on the rap label, which so often gets incorrectly placed on him.
I. AM. NOT. A. RAPPER!!!! Do ppl legit think I’m Sprung, Stripper, Buy u a drank, bartender, etc. are RAP songs?! Some of them even hav a rapper ON em!!! Do y’all think my verses on byad were rap verses? Do y’all for real think that’s me trying to rap? Have you heard rap? CHRIST!
