May 31, 2007 -- T-PAIN is in pain. And it s not from the weight of more than 100 carats of diamonds slung around his neck. The Crunk B superstar, who hit No.
1 on Billboards Top 100 for Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin ), spent his first day in New York skipping the clubs and sipping room-temperature water, nursing his laryngitis. Or perhaps the effects of one too many nights of drinking Patr o n and 150 shots of Remy Louis 13. Basically these days lots of people begin their relationships in the clubs, says the Tallahassee native, in town to promote his new album Epiphany, out Tuesday.
Whole conversations begin with some guy buying a young lady a drink. I wanted to make a song for those folks. He s also been making songs for his famous friends, including Kanye West (they plan to tour together in October), Usher and Britney Spears.
T-Pain has already written and produced two tracks for her upcoming album and says Spears promised she d have him back for more. It s rebellious, like, B----, I m Britney Spears. I got her cussin .
I got her doing leave me alone type of stuff, not that sexy look at my body stuff, he says. But, about her body, he says it s looking pretty good. She s going to do great.
And her body, that is back, he says. She looks great; I d do her. T-Pain performs tonight at 9 at S.
O.B. s (204 Varick St.
; [212] 243-4940). Tickets are 25 at the door. Focus on a girl, any one that attracts you.
That s all that matters. 2. Single or attached?
If you don t know if she s gotta man, you gotta ask her first. Something like, You got someone to sleep with after this? Or, Who you goin home to?
Be honest with her.
