While other artists were paryting before the MTV Video Music Awards, T-Pain and Jennifer Hudson were in a Vegas strip mall recording a duet. Turns out the two have wanted to work together for quite some time, but never had the opportunity because of scheduling conflicts.
During VMA weekend, Hudson and T-Pain went to a small Vegas studio and laid down a brand new track. Unlike T-Pain's previous collaborations, in which he mainly sings hooks, this is a real duet.
T-Pain tells VH1 of the collaboration:
This is going to be my first duet, ever. So it's real interesting for me. It's gonna be her featuring me, a real back-and-forth, old-school male/female duet. It's gonna be real nice. [The song is] untitled now, but it's basically about 'What's wrong with us? It's both of our faults that we don't like each other no more. The sex is getting boring.' You know, the usual stuff.
Should be good. We all know that Hudson is talented, but T-Pain has also won his way into many people's hearts with his chorus on the new Kanye song ("Good Life"). Hopefully this tiny strip-mall recording studio had enough technology to make T-Pain sound like T-Pain. Or does he even use equipment? Is it possible that T-Pain's natural voice just sounds like a computer? If he orders dinner, does the phrase "I'll have the side of mashed potatoes" sound like it's being said through a Vocoder? When it comes to T-Pain, the questions are endless.
