1. T-Pain “Up Down”

Let’s call T-Pain what he is…a guilty pleasure! He’s got the kind of music where the lyrics make you screw up your mouth like you’re sucking on a Lemonhead, however songs like “Up Down” make my booty react before my mouth. T-Pain knows exactly how to make you twerk without regard. He knows exactly how to use the autotune without making it whack. Love that guy and all of his catchy tunes. -Danielle Young

2. T-Pain Ft. Lil Wayne- “Can’t Believe It”

There’s something so smooth about “Can’t Believe It.” Unlike Pain’s prior releases, “Buy U A Drank” and “I’m In Love With A Stripper,” it has a laid back melody that feels sexy. Not to mention, Lil’ Wayne (who was celebrating massive “Lolipop” success) blessed the production with a sick verse that caused us to hit RapGenius. It’s just one of those summer anthems that bring back great summer memories. -Shamika Sanders

3. T-Pain “Bartender”

I adore T-Pain and everything he musically offers. I was in college the ATL when he was breaking on to the scene and Sir Pain has provided me with so much of my undergraduate soundtrack. “Bartender” is just a quintessentially good party song. It’s also boasts one of the best and most simply perfect party lines ever… “She made us drinks, to drink, we drunk ’em, got drunk.” Touche T-Pain, Touche. -Leigh Davenport

4. T-Pain feat. Yung Joc “Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’)”

This always takes me back to club life in college! Dudes would always use this song as an entry point to try and start a conversation like T-Pain wrote game just for them them lol Of course nobody could resist hitting that move when T-Pain commands “now walk it out, think about it awww snap!” -Nakisha Williams
