Remember in 2008 when T-Pain and Lil Wayne were the two biggest things in rap, and they were going to make an album (and presumably an opus to the idea of Auto-Tune) together called T-Wayne? That album may have never happened, but real die-hards like myself have always retained glimmers of hope that the two would go on to do great things together. And while I wouldn't have expected those great things to be a straightforward rap track about how much T-Pain needs you to get out of the way of his car, I'm not going to complain when a song like "Let Me Thru" falls in my lap thanks to the good people at XXL.If we've learned anything over the last few months from T-Pain, it's been that you have to take life one step at a time, as he noted in the most recent installment of Ask T-Pain. But if we've learned anything else from T-Pain, it's that T-Pain can seriously rap, as he showed on his recent song "Stoicville." "Let Me Thru" is further proof that you should be paying attention to T-Pain right now, as well as Lil Wayne, who's been reliving his 2008 rap glory days a bit as well lately, despite a general lack of fan interest. T-Wayne may be nothing but a dream, but this track is the perfect consolation prize to wake up to, an alternate universe T-Wayne that's just them rapping hard as hell. Listen to it below, via XXL.
