Can’t Believe It - T-Pain (Feat. Lil Wayne)

T-Pain shines on this slow, sophisticated, and sexy stripper song. The instant classic from the Tallahassee Hero also features the hottest rapper in the game right now.

The N.O. rapper misses the target a little when he opens his verse threatening he was going to have to “show em wat dese teardrops bout,” referring to her (stripper) brother. T-Pain sets up a great picture of whisking a beautiful dancer to the “back” to convince her to come away with him to several exotic places. Then Wayne jumps in his verse with “You better shut yo mouth.”

It is never anyone’s place to police art, which is in this case the content of the lyrics, but it’s nice to have a track where everyone is on the same page.

T-Pain’s production is solid and slows down the snap music for a laid back feeling, a change of pace from most of his big-time tracks. And that’s what this track is, big. Lil’ Wayne sells records, so having him on the song automatically catches people’s attention. But the hook is what will make this song memorable:

Oh I can’t believe it 
OO Oo she all on me (on me) 
Man Man i think she want me 
Nah I can’t leave her lonely naw

Even Lil’ Wayne synthesizes his voice, a la Teddy Penderasover, and even hits some notes with T-Pain. You know an artist is great then have you thinking you can sing along with the song.
