"I mean, not even that. As far as the rapping, the rapping was just something that I started doing cause I thought it was cool." - T-Pain

T-Pain (born Faheem Najm in Tallahassee, Florida in 1985) is an American hip-hop singer. At the age of ten he turned his bedroom into a small studio with a keyboard, beat machine and four-track recorder, and began enjoying music. He was previously a member of the five-man rap act known as Nappy Headz. In 2002 he founded his own label, Hard & B. T-Pain had been known locally in Florida for his work with Nappy Headz, and gained notoriety for his song "Fucked Up", a reworked version of Akon's "Locked Up". The song gained the attention of Akon, who then signed T-Pain to his newly formed Konvict Music record label.

T-Pain released his solo debut single, "I'm Sprung", in August 2005. His debut album, Rappa Ternt Sanga, was released on November 8, 2005, under Konvict Music. The "T" in T-Pain actually stands for Tallahassee (Florida), and the Pains means the pain trying to get out of Tallahassee. He made the song "I'm Sprung" for a girl that he knew when he was younger. On BET's 106 & Park he told audiences that that girl is now his wife. He is also known to be experimenting in the now world-famous "Crunk-n-B" style of music made famous by artists such as Ciara.

Hit singles "I'm Sprung" and "I'm N Luv (Wit a Stripper)" spawned official remixes titled "I'm Sprung 2" with Trick Daddy and the YoungBloodZ, and "I'm N Luv (Wit a Stripper), (read more)

Quotes 

Yeah. I was with a group called the Nappy Headz. We had a song called "Robbery" it was like a redo of Khia's "My Neck, My Back." We got pretty famous for it. It was in the Billboard, overseas, shit was getting played in London and shit. It was crazy.

I mean, not even that. As far as the rapping, the rapping was just something that I started doing cause I thought it was cool. I just went ahead and did that cause everybody was doing it. But it was cool though. It's just the R&B shit was easier. Way easier.

Uh.. Cee-Lo .. Andre 3000 .. and Devin the Dude. They shit was just feeling good. I just wanted to do something like them. It just made me want to do the switch, man. (Speaking on influences)

I mean.. it ain't no Ciara (laughs).. it's some having fun with my niggas dancing. You know what I'm sayin. If you saw me and my niggas in the club, you gonna be like them niggas there is trippin.
