Yesterday, T-Pain and Mark Zuckerberg got together to release a song, and I guess we’re supposed to think that’s funny or epic or whatever.It’s an acoustic dorm-room joke cover of Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz’ crossover crunk classic “Get Low,” with Zuckerberg singing through heavy Auto-Tune.
T-Pain does the Ying Yang Twins parts.This was the stuff of a classic Stereogum no-text post, and the only appropriate response is to roll your eyes and keep it moving.
But T-Pain would like us to know that it’s honestly really OK that he did this.Yesterday, T-Pain defended his Mark Zuckerberg collab.
In an Instagram video, Teddy Penderazzdown said: Hey, fair enough.Is it fun to make crunk parodies with Mark Zuckerberg? That doesn’t sound fun to me, but I’m not T-Pain.
But wait, T-Pain wasn’t done! In another video, he continued: I know what you’re thinking: T-Pain has definitely made his point.He’s said everything that he needs to say.
We may not agree, but T-Pain has thoroughly addressed this matter.No! He’s not done! Here’s another video! Unfortunately, it is my job to look at videos of T-Pain on the phone.
Fortunately, that’s probably more fun than looking at birds.Anyway.
We’re losing the thread here.In his own significantly less entertaining post, Mark Zuckerberg says that “Get Low” was playing at the party where he met his wife.
I’ve seen The Social Network; the timing checks out.In other news about Mark Zuckerberg’s married life, the BBC reports that he recently commissioned a fake Roman statue of his wife.
Also, he would like to congratulate Donald Trump, and he is looking forward to working with Trump and his administration on all the great opportunities for our country.Finally, I’ll take the opportunity that to remind you that this isn’t the first time T-Pain helped a white billionaire make a cringey rap parody.
(She wasn’t actually a billionaire back then, but the point remains.) ...
