I just had an epiphany -- one can only write so many chapter summaries in a row before enthusiasm flags. For this post, I consider a more pressing issue: I like the bartender.

In case you aren't feeling all good inside, I'm talking about Faheem Najm, the musical phenomenon better known as T-Pain. Pain (a.k.a Tebunan Pedalofogus, from the planet Telegusa) is a Florida rapper best known for his distinctive (and ever present) use of the Auto-Tune vocal effect. But don't take my word for it! Here is one of T-Pain's best known masterpieces, Buy U A Drank (the first sixty seconds are probably sufficient):

Another thing that might be bugging you at this point is what Faheem thinks can be done to combat poverty and other societal ills. Well, I can't help you with that, but here's Chris again, with the transcript of a T-Pain interview.



See here for the actual, honest to God, huge meat (no homo!) interview that was the inspiration for that last video. Most recently, and inspiring this post, a conversation between T-Pain and Akon.



I'm definitely feeling like a butternut reduction. Please leave any further T-Pain awesomeness in the comments!
