Oh T-Pain!!  Probably one of the oddest most ridiculous hip hop stars I have ever met.  Ridiculous in a good way.  It was like riding a rollercoaster with your eyes shut, you never knew which way the conversation was going.  He was dull then all smiles, and then kept to himself then radiant and full of energy.  It was rather confusing but entertaining at the same time.  Every person he met backstage he reacted differently.  Of course I do not follow to the same beat.  I quickly shook his hand and asked him questions as he was autographing a picture:  "How much does your jewelry weigh?  Do you ever go up on stage with Chris Brown (they were touring together) during his set?  Vice versa?"  He looked at me like something was growing out the side of my head.  He then gave a huge pearly white grin and asked me if I was some reporter or something.  Of course I laughed back, who wouldn't!!  The guy is a superstar in the hip hop community.  He is innovative, creative and outright brilliant when it comes to what he does best.  Then it was picture time...and oh what a great picture!!
