There was a time in recent pop-culture history when T-Pain and his Vocoder were virtually inescapable. You couldn't turn on the radio, watch a hilarious viral video or tune into an awards show without getting an earful of T-Pain and his computerized twang.
But in 2010, with album sales still sluggish, T-Pain said he's not putting out any new music until the tide turns.
"I got the mastered version of my album in my car right now. But I'm not bringing my album out until these artists start selling records again, 'cause ain't nobody selling records unless you Susan Boyle," T-Pain told MTV News. Even though his website is promoting his forthcoming effort RevolveR, the collabo king insisted he's going to fall back until album sales pick up. "I'm not doing nothing. I'm not bringing out no album, not dropping no more new singles until people start selling records again, and that's the approach I think everybody should take unless you Susan Boyle or Miley Cyrus."
Pain said that, these days, artists who are not running things on the pop tip don't really have a chance. "It ain't really nothing else you can do. Any hip-hop artists, anybody coming from the South, we ain't doin' it," T-Pain said. "Until everybody show and prove, I ain't droppin' no album."
While he's holding back on his solo work, Pain is still collaborating and told MTV News about creating the track "My Own Step" with ATL's Roscoe Dash for the soundtrack to the dance flick "Step Up 3-D." "The song was for somebody else at first, and then they was asking ... [T-Pain's label] Nappy Boy: 'Do we have some songs for the "Step Up 3-D" movie?' " said Pain, who sent songs featuring artists such as Sophia Fresh, Tay Dizm and One Chance. "They was like, 'You got some stuff with you on it?' I was like, 'Yeah, here go a song right here.' They came up to me like, 'Roscoe Dash got on.' I was like, 'Yes! We got him!' " T-Pain said, adding, "I've been trying to do a song with Roscoe Dash for a long time."
Pain, who's no stranger to hitmaking, said he was looking forward to working with the "Show Out" rapper, because he thought Dash brought something fresh to the game.
"I've been living in Atlanta for, like, two and a half years ... and I listen to the radio a lot, and they play all Atlanta. When Roscoe Dash's song came on the radio, I was like, 'Oh, thank you,' " Pain said. "It was just a relief. It was just something new."

Drake's new album is selling quite well according to early reports. So excuse him if he's dismissive of people trying to throw dirt on his shine.
Lil Kim aka The Queen Bee has been taking shots at Drizzy and his Young Money partner in rhyme Nicki Minaj. She recently labeled the Toronto MC a "punk p****"
Drake shrugs that off by saying "Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it."
But when it comes to his Young Money family he gets more defensive. He's already said recently he doesn't repect Lil Kim's dissing Nicki Minaj. In his latest interview with Houston's 97.9 The Box host The Mad Hatta he explains his point of view further.
“I really don't care… sometimes I get a lil impulsive when you start talking about the people I love. You can say whatever about me, I'll never respond to it, like I'll never react to it, but if you start talking about the people I love then I do get a little bit more reactive and that's all that happened there, Nicki's got records climbing the charts and today Thank Me Later is in stores, so it's just about relevant people today…”

North Carolina police have filed a suspicious person report after resident Tim Peeler claims he saw the mythical creature BigFoot.
"This thang was 10 feet tall, he had beautiful hair," said Peeler. He was out calling coyote "Instead of them.........him."
Peeler defended himself and the dogs Bigfoot was trying to eat by using a big stick.
"I come out chere and rough talked him and run him off," claims Peeler. "I said git away from here....git....git! And he went right back chere dat paff again."
Even sheriff's deputies in this neck of the woods believe in Bigfoot.
Sgt Mark Self recalls stories of the beast as a child. "It scared me, there was a 8-10 foot hairy looking man/person," he explains. "It was killing some animals, breaking into chicken houses killing chickens."
As Peeler drew a picture of the creature he described what he looked like further. "Look like he had six fingers on each hand."
The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization says there have been 57 Bigfoot sightings in North Carolina since 1997, including six in Cleveland County where Peeler lives.
This dude is straight tripping if you ask me.

For the original concept of his Black Magic album, 50 Cent said he was inspired by dance music while touring overseas. Now that he's in the U.S., on the Invitation Tour, the G-Unit team captain said he has a whole other muse for a completely different album.
"I started working on it," 50 said last week in Los Angeles. "I been working on writing to a concept for Black Magic. ... I recorded 19 songs. Then when I got back to the U.S., I started writing to a different concept. I spoke to Em. He called me when I was starting in Detroit."
Before Fif could go more in-depth about his upcoming album, his friend, Floyd Mayweather — who sat in on the interview as well — announced he has an LP as well. "We're doing a compilation album," Money Mayweather said. The boxing champ said he'll be highlighting various artists on the project.
"We'll probably launch it in the heat of the next bout," Fif said. "It'll probably be the biggest fight in the history of the sport."
Of course, 50 was referring to the long-delayed Mayweather/ Manny Pacquiao title bout. Floyd wants Pacquiao to take Olympic-style drug testing, and Manny has resisted thus far.
Back to the music: Fif and Mayweather agree that a lot of the hip-hop out right now has taken a softer turn.
"It'll just make room for you to impact when [the hardcore] comes back," 50 assessed. "No one told the world to enjoy that [softer] music temporarily. I think a big portion of why people didn't want to hear the aggressive content is because the people conveying them were lying."
"You got rappers in today's time, they get a small advance from their record label, get a bunch of tattoos, a few piercings on their face, go to jail for 10 or 20 days, [then] they killers," Mayweather weighed in. "Next time out, they rock stars. I think rap is crazy, but it's still very creative."

The last time Mike Tyson saw Tupac Shakur, it was September 7, 1996.
'Pac, who had struck up a friendship with Tyson in the early 1990s, came to Las Vegas like thousands of others to watch "Iron Mike" clean the clock of fellow pugilist Bruce Seldon. That night, Tyson won the World Boxing Association's heavyweight championship title via first-round TKO. After the bout, Mike, 'Pac and Suge Knight headed to the locker room to celebrate. No one knew that prizefight night would also mark one of the greatest tragedies in hip-hop: Tupac was shot as he left the Tyson/Seldon matchup; he died from his injuries a few days later, on September 13.
" 'Pac was just a ball of energy," Tyson recalled of his friend, when MTV News called him up on Wednesday (June 16).
The most prolific MC ever, 'Pac would have celebrated his 39th birthday Wednesday. Instead, the hip-hop community honors Shakur's life and legacy. Tyson remembered him as an individual who was unique, to say the least. The former heavyweight partied with the icon, but the two men also shared some insightful private conversations.
"He was incredible. You knew he was a special person when he's in your presence," Tyson said on the phone from Las Vegas.
"If you had any consciousness of the reality we live in, you could feel his energy. You knew he was a special individual." Mike described their talks as, "purely emotionally intimate talking; expression of feeling. He was very prolific in expressing himself. He had a lot of hostility. I think it was just misguided and misdirected. It was obvious he was a genius, he was a prodigy. Whoa! He was just amazing as far as his energy was concerned. He was explosive — like a black panther ready to pounce."
In the ring, Tyson exhibited 'Pac-like qualities himself. He intimidated the competition, but the people loved him. He was a warrior, the fiercest gladiator the sport has ever seen.
"He looked very destructive. He came across as a world beater," Tyson said. "As far as his music was concerned, his presence and his energy ... the word I'm looking for is fearless. He came across as fearless. When you come across somebody that's fearless, you're a little bit in awe. You're like. 'Whoa!' He's ready to blow, too, at any moment; very volatile. He's very focused. He can go from one second to the next and get very focused."
Tyson and Tupac met during a turning point in both their careers. Iron Mike was the biggest and baddest draw in boxing, but also a year removed from having lost his heavyweight championship. 'Pac was still affiliated with Digital Underground and about a year from landing the star-making role that would launch him: the intriguing, if insane, Bishop in 1992's crime saga "Juice."
"Magic Johnson had a party at the Palladium in Los Angeles," Iron Mike said, jogging his memory. "What year was this? No, I wasn't champion, it was '91. I just fought [Donovan 'Razor'] Ruddock ... I believe I came outside. I was talking to the people running the door. They were friends of mine. They wouldn't let these guys in, Tupac and them. I said, 'Man, let these guys in. You remember how it was with us.'
"So they let him in. 'Pac had said, 'Hold up for one minute,' and he brought back 200 more people. He had a gang of people with him. They said, 'Listen, you can't go through the front, you have to go through the back.' Next thing I knew, it was over. I hear somebody on the mic — he took the mic. Him and his guys got the mic somehow and started rapping. The whole crowd started going crazy. They loved him. The guys from Digital Underground introduced him to me. They said, 'This is Tupac.' I met him, he was very young. He was very happy, vivacious. He just had energy. He was wild, an amazing individual."
More than three years would pass before Tyson and Tupac crossed paths again. In 1995, 'Pac visited the champ at the Plainfield Correctional Facility, in Plainfield, Indiana, where Tyson was serving his sentence for a rape conviction (a crime for which Tyson still maintains his innocence).
"The next time I saw [Tupac] I didn't even know who he was," Tyson said. "I knew he was '2Pac.' But his mother had wrote me a letter in prison ... I remembered that night. He came to prison to see me. We spoke. He was so much more confident than when I had met him the other time, probably a year or two prior to that. He had gone from being shy guy to very strong-willed and confident and independent. He was tremendously feeling himself. He had so much confidence. He was bursting off the air.
"He came to the prison. He was standing on the table, started talking. All the people in the prison started going crazy. I said, 'Sit. Sit down. Sit, brother, sit,' " Tyson recalled. "The white prisoners, the guards, everybody went crazy in this redneck prison. They went nuts when he came in there. I didn't know he was [famous] like that. I didn't know he was like that! I thought he was some young brother. But when he came in, I didn't know people was feeling him like that too. I was like, 'Yo man. Chill, brother.' He was wilding, sweating, talking, being very gregarious. He was prolific. He was talking, having a ball. ... He was very territorial. He was an interesting guy. He was different than any other rapper I had ever met from a philosophical perspective."
Tyson said all of the prisoners were trying to talk to 'Pac and snap pictures with him. But the champ was concerned that all the hoopla might get him thrown out of the facility, which had happened before when other celebs had visited the boxing legend.
"I didn't know Tupac was that big then, because I was inside," Tyson explained. "That's when they had that [East Coast vs. West Coast] beef stuff [with Bad Boy]. I didn't know Tupac was who he was. I had no idea."
Diddy is an artist with particular tastes. Some might call those tastes downright weird.
Rap-Up is reporting the Bad Boy CEO summoned London producer Alex Da Kid to his studio at 3am for a recording session.
Diddy began to reel off what he wanted from the beat maker.:
“He was like, ‘I want the beat that makes me feel blue,’” says Alex, “That's blue as in the color."
Diddy then went over the top for his next reqest.
“Diddy said to me, ‘I want a beat that makes me feel like a white man in a basement in Atlanta."
Da Kid isn't sure if any of his beats will make the final cut for Diddy's next album 'Last Train To Paris', but he is certain of one thing.
“Diddy’s hilarious.”
Indeed he is, Alex.

A correction officer went on a blood-thirsty rampage in Long Island Wednesday, killing her ex-girlfriend and her own uncle during four hours of mayhem that also left the shooter's grandfather wounded, police said.
The suspected shooter also abducted her niece and hopped in a car, surrendering just before 6 a.m. during a traffic stop in Hempstead. Charges are pending against Kim Wolfe, 43, who was hospitalized after having trouble breathing.
"She loved her job," Patricia Bines said of her slain sister, Stacie Williams, a nurse's aide. "She loved working with babies. This is the worst day of our lives."
Williams, 45, was working the night shift at Nassau University Hospital about 1:30 a.m. She was standing near the front entrance and on a cigarette break when she was confronted by her former lover.
The mother of three was shot several times and died in front of the same hospital where she worked in the maternity ward.
Compounding the anguish for Williams' family was an injury to the murder victim's son. He was struck by a car as he ran across Hempstead Turnpike in a desperate dash to reach his dying mother's side.
"She lived life like it was golden," said her other sister, Nicole Rogers, 38. "That was the motto for her."
Williams worked at the hospital for 23 years, union officials said.
After the first shooting, Wolfe drove about 3 1/2 miles to Hempstead.
Police said more gunfire erupted there about 2 a.m. Wolfe's 56-year-old uncle was shot to death and her grandfather was shot in the leg. Their names weren't immediately released.
"I would have never known this was coming," said Ron Lanier, 46, who worked with Wolfe at the Nassau County Correctional Facility in East Meadow. "She loved her grandfather, she was over there all the time."
Jerry Laricchiuta, President of the Civil Service Employees Association local 830 union, said he met Wolfe when he worked at the jail and could not believe he was capable of such brutality.
"I knew Wolfe," he said. "She was a character, but nothing that would ever indicate she would ever do anything like this."
Wolfe drove away from the scene of the second killing in her Mitsubishi Montero. Police said Wolfe took her 23-year-old niece as a hostage. Cops pulled her over about 5:45 a.m. and arrested her. The niece wasn't injured.
Officers found a handgun in Wolfe's car.
The suspect has been a correction officer for 19 years and worked the midnight shift supervising inmates at the county jail next to the hospital, said Liz Consolo, spokeswoman for Nassau County sheriff's office.

By being candid both in life and in rhyme, Drake is discovering that his brand of raw honesty can come at a cost. The Toronto MC says that he was "a pawn" to pop diva Rihanna in a recent New York Times. Now, his revealing remarks about their long-rumored fling are making headlines.
Drake, however, said his intent wasn't to offend the "Umbrella" star.
"That's a moment that I've been eager, sort of, to explain," he told MTV News. "I feel like when people write about it or try to take an excerpt from me describing it, it's gonna sound negative. And in no way was it negative. I'm at one of the greatest places in my life — I'm on top of the world. I'm extremely confident, so it's very rare that anybody, let alone a woman that I like, makes me feel nervous or makes me feel small.
"She's just such an overwhelming and incredible person," Drake continued. "And such a talented person and someone that I was like, 'I can't believe I'm here talking to this individual,' that she just gave me that feeling like when I was 17 years old trying to take Nikki Ramos, this girl from Toronto, out on a date and she never wanted to go with me. She never would go; she would have a million excuses why she couldn't talk to me. That's how [Rihanna] made me feel, she made me feel small; she made me feel nervous. It just put me back to the Acura in Toronto, feeling like Aubrey Graham, not Drake."
The two stars caused quite a stir last year when New York City tabloids reported the pair were spotted getting cozy at an upscale Manhattan bowling alley. Drake denied the talk, appearing on local radio station Hot 97 to say he and Rihanna were just friends.
But on his debut, Thank Me Later, he addresses the topic on opening track "Fireworks," clearing the air and looking back on the moment — and what could have been.
"I could tell it wasn't love/ I just thought you f---ed with me/ Who could have predicted/ Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me," Drake spits in the second verse. "Damn, I kept my wits about me, luckily/ What happened between us that night it always seems to trouble me/ Now all of a sudden, these gossip rags want to cover me/ And you making it seem like it happened that way because of me."
Still, in spite of his lyrics, Drake isn't one to kiss and tell. When asked what it was like to plant one on Rihanna, the rapper was coy.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he smiled and looked away.

We all had our shot and blew it! Megan Fox is officially off the market after getting engaged to boyfriend Brian Austin Green.
"Yes, she is engaged," her rep told UsWeekly.
"I saw her jumping up and down," a witness said of the proposal in Hawaii. "Later, I saw a half dozen staff sifting through the sand."
This is the 2nd time the pair have been engaged, so there is a glimmer of hope that Green will screw up again.
