Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
T-Pain opens the liner notes to his hotly anticipated second disc with a couple of helpful definitions: An epiphany is "the manifestation of a supernatural being" (definition No. 1) or "a sudden moment of insight or revelation" (No. 2), the opening page puts forth. Because most of the R&B record-buying world knows that T-Pain is not a supernatural being, but a stylish and inventive singer from Tallahassee, it would seem the second definition inspired the title--T-Pain probably felt flashes of inspiration when laying out the lyrics. A single spin ought to convince listeners a little of both factored in, though: Songs like "Bartender" and "Buy U a Drank" send out a southern hip-hop vibe silky enough to be considered a revelation (thanks partially to Akon, who pitches in on "Bartender"). And because the entire album leans hard on the vocoder, tracks such as opener "Tallahassee Love," a nod to Tupac's "California Love," sound otherworldly, a la definition one. Throughout, T-Pain hands out hooks like there's been a two-for-one sale. Maybe they came to him in a series of epiphanies. Or maybe a benevolent R&B being--some supernatural force who knows how to make a hit record--whispered them in his ear. --Tammy La Gorce

First off, Southern hip-hop is not for everyone, as it does have a bit more of a unique sound, but the problem with it is that most of the artist have such a simlilar delivery that makes it hard to figure out a whos who. The huge problem that I have ... Read More

- I Love this CD!!!
Maybe I'm a little bias but T-Pain is what's really hot right now!Yeah we all know that he uses the vocoder but lets admit it, we still love it!And nobody else could have pulled it off like he did!And even in the songs that he dosent use the vocoder it STILL sounds good!Also he was a rapper before he was a singer, so I give him credit for doing something different and taking a chance.Keep up the good work nappy boy!HOLLA!!!!

Should be the unabridged name of this artist. One listen you'll feel it too. Roger Troutman would be ashamed.
