If you aren't up on the latest in "beef".. here's the short story. T-Pain is djing in Las Vegas and talking shit on the mic about Jay. Jay responds with a fuck T-Pain, then T-Pain responds with some Age-ism referring to Jay's age. The result - this Track where T-Pain freestyles over Drake's Successful and gives a heartfelt apology to Jay as well as defends his "average" looking wife. I mean, I know a few rappers who dumped their wives/girlfriends once they got a little paper so this, to me, is a good look! Dudes stick by your bitches LOL.

“Some people call it being soft, some people call it bitching up…I just gotta be, I just gotta be more careful….so that Nuvo got me poppin’ s–t, and even worse, the people around me ain’t knockin it…alright, so lets talk about the Jay shit. Some days I wish I never say shit, and Diddy said ain’t no excuse for what I did, but I felt like he was knocking the same shit that feeds my kids…and Jay one of the only n out here bringing it, so I didn’t think he would even entertain the shit. Cuz entertainment is see-thru but if you really feel like I’m dead, then me too. I ain’t tryin to write your rhymes but you coulda skipped one DJ and all you had to say is, “T-pain, we cool.” But by all means, don’t take this as a diss or hatin’, I just wanna explain my side of the situation, so if you knew how much respect that I have, you’d know I’m a real n when I say, “My bad.”

(*the section about people hating on his “regular-looking” wife is somewhat heartwarming but also obtuse, because no, Pain is not the only one featuring video models of different skin tones, whether those castings are calculated or not.)

Pamela Love has also contributed to the project, creating silver and brass men’s and women’s jewelry inspired by the film’s iconography.
