T-Pain's music can best be pigeonholed as R&B, with both his musical style and lyrical topics placing him firmly in the mainstream with the traditional platforms of the genre. In a departure from the mainstream, T-Pain also brings up issues like HIV in some songs. T-Pain also experiments with the now world-famous "Crunk&B" style of music made famous by artists such as Ciara. Almost every song has some form of envelope follower effect on the vocals, which is rare in R&B. As well as that, he is following in Akon's footsteps and becoming very popular in hooks.

Fetching RSS feed... please stand byT-Pain opens the liner notes to his hotly anticipated second disc with a couple of helpful definitions: An epiphany is "the manifestation of a supernatural being" (definition No. 1) or "a sudden moment of insight or revelation" (No. 2), the opening page puts forth.
Because most of the R&B record-buying world knows that T-Pain is not a supernatural being, but a stylish and inventive singer from Tallahassee, it would seem the second definition inspired the title--T-Pain probably felt flashes of inspiration when laying out the lyrics. A single spin ought to convince listeners a little of both factored in, though: Songs like "Bartender" and "Buy U a Drank" send out a southern hip-hop vibe silky enough to be considered a revelation (thanks partially to Akon, who pitches in on "Bartender"). And because the entire album leans hard on the vocoder, tracks such as opener "Tallahassee Love," a nod to Tupac's "California Love," sound otherworldly, a la definition one.
Throughout, T-Pain hands out hooks like there's been a two-for-one sale. Maybe they came to him in a series of epiphanies. Or maybe a benevolent R&B being--some supernatural force who knows how to make a hit record--whispered them in his ear
