I think so. MTV talks to T-Pain about all his 07 collabos. Here are some excerpts:
Kanye West, “Good Life” “All I recorded for that song was hooks. We did five different versions [of the chorus]. And when you hear that [sings] ‘And my grandmama ain’t the only one calling me baby,’ that was a hook. Kanye put all them hooks together and created that song. When I heard the finished version, I was like, ‘This dude is a genius.’ ”
Chris Brown, “Kiss Kiss”"That song was originally for David Banner. I made that with him in mind, but Chris was in the studio with me and asked for some hip-hop beats. He heard it and asked for it. That song was originally called “Thick Thick.” [Sings] ‘That booty, girl, is thick, thick, thick.’ But then I remembered Chris Brown is like 12, and we changed it up.”
Fabolous, “Baby Don’t Go” “That already had the hook on it, actually. [I just had to] put my little part on it. I actually respect [Jermaine Dupri] for that because the song required Auto-Tune, and he was just like, ‘I don’t want to just use it. I’d rather have the person that’s famous for it right now.’ Because anyone can just use it, as you see everybody is doing that right now. But he was like, ‘I could have just used it, but that would have been disrespectful to somebody that’s bringing it back.’ I respect him for that, completely.”
