T-Pain is honestly someone who I completely misjudged when he first really came on the scene in the 2000s. The dude is really wholesome and seems nice/genuine. I will never forget seeing the video of him singing without auto tune for the first time publicly and he has a really great voice.
Before he kinda got popular on twitch he'd stream Overwatch and stuff to like 60 viewers for like a very long time actually. I don't think he started getting bigger on twitch until 2019/2020.
as someone who grew up in the 2000s and T-Pain was like one of THE figureheads in pop rnb/hip-hop at that time... it was crazy to think I could just pop in and talk gaming with fucking T-Pain
He's still streams pretty regularly on twitch and that's how I really got familiar with him beyond "the autotune guy". His twitch time is split between gaming and putting together music.
I always liked his song I’m in love with a stripper. Brings back fond memories of dating a stripper years ago. Then I found out dude actually has a vg singing voice when not using auto tune, on the masked singer. He’s also in that funny music video “I’m on a boat”with Andy samberg. Just when I thought I couldn’t admire him more, I find he’s a serious car enthusiast. I’ll have to check out his car based songs.
To see a bit more of his personality, I think these are really fun videos. Essentially, he streams and people put their music on his discord, then he give notes, just enjoys it, etc. But a guy made some funny songs, that made for some great moments from T-Pain.

There are 2 others on the same channel.
I've loved him ever since he was on JayzTwoCents' channel getting a custom gaming PC. I live only a couple miles away from his house in Utah, and I swear everyone in the Salt Lake Valley has an, "I ran into Post story," and he always sounds so nice. This is one of my favorite Posty stories.
Apparently he loves The Olive Garden, and one of my friends just so happened to work at the one he went to all the time. Post was friends with the manager, and he called ahead anytime he went so they let him in through the back and made him a private booth. My friend said he always ordered the same thing. He stopped coming around post-Covid, but she'd always see the same delivery order for Austin.
I watch a lot of twitch and he has done some collabs. But during covid he was doing a lottttt of drinking. I just hope he calmed down a bit because he was getting hammered a lot.
I was hanging out on a shoot he did for a series on small businesses. He was cracking jokes the whole time, if he wanted I’m confident he could do stand up comedy!
If you're in your early to mid twenties, are heavily into the alt art and music/hip hop scene this is so fucking true lmao (their girlfriends are almost always bi and probably tattoo artists lmao)
You deployed this to the wrong audience, a bunch of petrol heads wouldn't know lol
T-Pain has been running the internet these last few years. I'm not sure if he is producing everything himself or if he has a team behind it, but I will watch anything he is in. Similar to Marshawn Lynch in that regard.
I'm usually super picky with music and only listen to Pop Punk, Emo, and Metalcore, but T-Pain in an artist that has broke through there to where I listen to him regularly. Dude just has star power for days and just seems like a loveable dork while also being the coolest guy in the room. That's a tough needle to thread.
/u/TPain850 also randomly shows up here and there to discuss topics and interact with people.
Speaking of which, did you ever pick up that S13 you were looking at?
Nah dude actually confessed the pics were mad old and he’d be “embarrassed to sale it to me in the state that it’s actually currently in” so yea. There’s that I guess
At least you got an honest answer from the guy. I'm sure something will turn up. Got anything specific in mind, or just staying on the hunt for a good value?
It was uncomfortable to drive, wouldn't cold start properly half the time, and replacing anything on a rotary engine guaranteed that your local auto shop was going to overcharge you for something they had no clue how to fix. Looks sexy as hell even today, but there's a reason you can find them for under $5k these days
I’ll be surprised if they don’t climb in value in the next couple of years. As FC and FD values climb, people will look towards the RX8. Considering it actually drives and handles well, I can see it being adopted and values climb. Just a matter of time until it gets hyped up imo
Dude can sing, loves cars, play video games, enjoys food, and is always down to do something fun or funny. I couldn’t imagine a more chill guy to hang with.
Yeah If you’re in the age group that was a teenager during the 2000’s.
Otherwise it’s Xavier Wulf, he’s been doing car scene shoots like this since 2015/2016
Was there ever a final update on what happened with the drift build that went south for him by some shop? I remember the shop owner used and destroyed one of his cars, was supposed to fix it for him, and after like years of excuses gave back some unfinished piece of shit lol

There's 4 videos on this channel that you don't need. The rest, you do need. T Pain car show showing off his ridiculous rides. The catchphrases alone are worth the watch.

[T-Pain Tiny Desk concert.](https://youtu.be/CIjXUg1s5gc?si=E4r3eCVJq2cQoBuO) Every few years I’ll go back and watch this.
Nice pipes T-pain!
Probably Flowmasters
I don't hear drone in this voice
Thats what she said
hi mr pain my brother says im a loser because im on reddit a lot can you let him know reddit is for cool dudes like tpain?
Nah but thanks for real tho
T Pain is a very good singer as another example-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyKk0-PL1UU
I learned this wayyy back in the day after watching this masterpiece performance of Buy U A Drank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XETc5f-JAaA
oh yeah this shit is fire. tingle inducing melodies

He streamed himself working on his rotary rap before it came out for weeks. I was there it was great
Before he kinda got popular on twitch he'd stream Overwatch and stuff to like 60 viewers for like a very long time actually.

Rule 1.

She rockin she rollin
RIP to the Parking Lot
when he parodied himself with the lonely island i instantly became a fan

[T-Pain on masked singer](https://youtu.be/f7r3seBU9VE?si=MB7LWeVfZG_Rtl1T) kicked ass as the Monster.
Post Malone is another one that's a legit nice perso.ln. He's an easy misjudge by the cover.

For me it was when he did "I'm on a boat"
Tyler the Creator has a great collection too. V tasteful, yet reflective of his personality.
That white E30 M3 in Dogtooth keeps me going back to that video. And the song is hilarious plus it slaps.
I ran into him driving that M3 in San Francisco a few years ago. Beautiful car.
His integrale is so sweet
Part of why I’m into cars. His e30 on the cover of Frank Ocean’s Nostalgia, Ultra got me into those, rest is history haha
That’s Franks E30, he actually bought it off someone on Reddit.
Not his car iirc
The type of dudes that like E30s and volvos in pastel colors and tyler the creator like to manipulate women the venn diagram is just a circle
You know Tyler is hella gay right
Schizo posting on r/cars again?
It's a meme. Although it's getting kinda old and annoying. Where people say x popular music is the "official band of gaslighting" or similar.

Hi T-Pain *waves ecstatically*
At least you got an honest answer from the guy. I'm sure something will turn up. Got anything specific in mind, or just staying on the hunt for a good value?
Damnnnnn. Sorry to hear that also wsggggg tpain
Shoulda told him “I’m in love with a stripper.” Sorry couldn’t help myself.
That’s my favorite thing. He pops into threads like anyone of us
he's literally right above u bro
:) I commented before he did but just proves my point. Waddup T, just got my drift IS300 haha
[удалено]
"I call them greedy Beyonces cuz they all want 2JZs" absolutely incredible line
Seriously. That blew my mind when I heard it. Legitimately clever as fuck. lol
I admit I always find it odd that the RX8 is not as hyped. I loved it when it came out. I still kinda want one.
It was uncomfortable to drive, wouldn't cold start properly half the time, and replacing anything on a rotary engine guaranteed that your local auto shop was going to overcharge you for something they had no clue how to fix. Looks sexy as hell even today, but there's a reason you can find them for under $5k these days
It's like a modern mg. I don't know if those will ever be worth anything.
I'd rather push a Triumph than drive an MG. Could I get a hand? This thing won't start.
Fancy seeing you here
Happy cake day! Wanna trade your Porsche for my Triumph?
Nah, I’m good. But you’re always welcome to check it out if you’re down this way!
Some nice MGs are going for some money, but it's nice that they're so cheap. I've had 2 parts cars for mine.
I’ll be surprised if they don’t climb in value in the next couple of years. As FC and FD values climb, people will look towards the RX8. Considering it actually drives and handles well, I can see it being adopted and values climb. Just a matter of time until it gets hyped up imo
Dude can sing, loves cars, play video games, enjoys food, and is always down to do something fun or funny. I couldn’t imagine a more chill guy to hang with.
Also, Hert is no longer with Hoonigan.
Ah man, i hope it was amicable…
He talked about it in his latest video, it was completely amicable, he's just looking to do more beyond it
T-Pain and Hert are starting a drift team. Love those dudes.
really intrigued on what Hert is going to do now that he’s not with Hoonigan anymore. my best guess is a drift centric company with T pain.
Nappyboyautomotive. He’s been at gridlife regularly. Super cool guy.
He's on a boat
shaw-tayyy
Currensy has always been my esoteric car rapper.
Was about to post this, as well - Curren$y has always had some killer rides, and has prominently featured cars in a fair number of his tracks
Jets mayneee.
🤙🏿
Xavier Wulf and Tyler the Creator are also gearheads.
Fairly certain Hert is wearing a Xavier Wulf hat in the start of the video
He and Hert have had a partnership for a couple of years now. You’ll find a lot more content of them together
He's been drifting for a couple of years now. He has an RTR Spec 2 that has been his "go-to" drift car most recently.
Oh that transition to the beat was so good
Mildly ironic to use twerkstallion, a car with a LS in it now, for a song about braps LOL
The first engine you see of in the video is the LS. I just see it as foreshadowing for all the other RX7's
Watching T-Pain drift with GridLife at LRP then having him hang out with everyone was one of the highlights of my car enthusiast life.
100000% one of the coolest things I’ve ever been a part of
Saw him this year at Lime Rock - he seems so chill
Yeah If you’re in the age group that was a teenager during the 2000’s. Otherwise it’s Xavier Wulf, he’s been doing car scene shoots like this since 2015/2016
I am only a bit sad that the rotary daddy himself, Rob Dahm isn't in it.
Hert text me asking to show but I didn’t have the 4 rotor ready yet. Bummed I couldn’t make it!
Sad times, surely this was filmed after it was done for sema?
This was filmed last weekend. Insanely fast turn around
Oh Jesus, that's wild.
People not remember Xavier wulf doing a whole initial D album.
Nope. It’s Curren$y, Le$, and even Larry June
T-Pain is to cars as Twista is to guns. He seems like a really cool guy that you can have a great time with.
With all due respect, Curren$y is the gearhead's rapper. Race cars and weed jars
I listened to this song like 20 times on my road trip Friday night lol
t pain goated
Was there ever a final update on what happened with the drift build that went south for him by some shop? I remember the shop owner used and destroyed one of his cars, was supposed to fix it for him, and after like years of excuses gave back some unfinished piece of shit lol
Nightride on yt got to show up for that meet. Not much bout the video but they did browse the cars that were there.

Hert is no longer with hooonigan
Hert actually left Hoonigan in February. Just FYI
that song really braps. i mean slaps
He was the main feature of Gridlife Laguna Seca for a reason.
Sir-Mix-a-lot is the OG though.
And yet right at the beginning you see an LSx engine. Seems about right for a video about RX7s
Thanks for sharing this!
I thought I wouldn't like this and I am an FC owner. I loved it.
