STFU Award/Idiocracy 101: T-Pain Lost

Look, I like T-Pain, but this was just dumb. No, INCREDIBLY dumb. And not because this is gonna make Jay-Z go all Eminem on him, but because this is a fight T-Pain can't win. Jay-Z has more fans than T-Pain, Jay-Z has more hits than T-Pain, Jay-Z has sold more records than T-Pain, Jay-Z has more Grammys than T-Pain, Jay-Z has more respect across the board than T-Pain, and its not even a question that Jay-Z has more money than T-Pain. Again, this is a battle T-Pain CANNOT win.

Even Rick Ross has gotta be looking at this dude like he's an idiot right about now. There is nothing to be gained by this (emphasis on both "no" and "thing"). Especially if you're gonna come at Jay like this. I could see if he said "fuck Jay-Z" and then went off into some super ill freestyle, but this nigga started dancing and singing songs he's featured on. Yeah he wrote it, but it ain't your song AND the person whose song it is isn't even there, so why are you performing it?? Do you think you're gonna see Jay-Z come out at a show and do his verse on Fiesta with R. Kelly?? Do you think Jay-Z is gonna come out and do his verse on Umbrella without Rihanna?? Hell no! If you're gonna diss someone at least do it right!

But for a minute, lets just say T-Pain is actually anywhere near Jay-Z's level, he STILL loses because not only did Jay-Z make it a point of emphasis that he was NOT going at T-Pain (but rather the people biting his style), but at the end of the day he already co-signed D.O.A. by coming out on stage at Summer Jam and standing by his side as he performed it!

Jay-Z has already said he didn't ask Pain to do that, he did it on his own. If he had such a big problem with Jay and the song, why do that?? Why didn't he say something then?? That was back in June! It is now September. Did he just realize he had a problem with it?? What T-Pain is trying to pull is equivalent to getting into a huge fight, getting hit by your man on accident, accepting his apology after the fight, and then wanting to fight him over it 3 months later. Just wack.

Besides, who the fuck does T-Pain think he is?? The audacity of this nigga with ONE platinum album and ONE #1 album to his credit, to even be talking about Jay-Z. If Game doesn't have the resume to go at Jay, then why does T-Pain think he does?? Hov could die today and T-Pain could record music for the next 30 years and still not amass the level of success Jay-Z has had. And that's strictly from a sales standpoint, not even including musically or creatively.

This is a terrible career move for T-Pain (a great one for Jay-Z though), I don't know what he was thinking, but I'm sure the fine people at Jive Records are not happy today. I'm not saying they're gonna drop him or anything, but he's gonna get a stern talking to over this and there will probably be a public apology of sorts if the anti-T-Pain movement keeps getting bigger. Sucks for Jive. Welp, there's always Cash Money where he'll be welcomed to sign and not drop anymore albums lol.

(On a side note, what is it about Jive that makes their artists wanna end their own careers?? First it was Mystikal going to jail, then R. Kelly messing with the kids, then Chris Brown beating up Rihanna, and now T-Pain dissing Jay-Z. Weird.)
