On Epiphany, the Florida-born, Tallahassee-repping singer, slightly expands upon his body-part obsessed persona with a strangely-placed AIDS track (“Suicide”) with T-Pain considering suicide after learning he might have contracted HIV by not wearing a rubber. The Slate article wonders aloud why T-Pain is such a popular radio staple and Rosen’s “simplest” answer - that gullible consumers will snatch up any pop novelty record, especially one that “speaks to the zeitgeist” - is downright insulting.
