T-Pain, 'Rap Song' Feat. Rick Ross -- New Song

Hip-Hop's Captain Auto-Tune himself, T-Pain, builds a strong case for rap as make-out music, on his new single 'Rap Song' featuring Rick Ross. The song is the third single from his forthcoming, as-yet unscheduled album 'rEVOLVEr.'

Not only does T-Pain process his voice this time, he layers it on top of itself repeatedly. Then, he puts it together with gentle piano, hand claps and plucked strings, resulting in an oddly pleasing, almost psychedelic mid-tempo soul song.

If you're prudish, you might not want to ask exactly how he figures N.W.A. is good mood-setting music, or what word rhymes with Gucci. Let's stick with this quote: "We can do it all night long / I'm about to have your egg on / And I ain't doing nothing wrong, but we can make love to a rap song."

Despite T-Pain's June 2010 proclamation that he would not release 'rEVOLVEr' until album sales as a whole start improving, the record is still expected to be released at some point in near the future. In the meantime, we'll all just have to get our fix by checking out 'Rap Song' on AOL Radio's New Hip-Hop First station.
