T-Pain Wants to Put You on a Boat, or Something

"I am T-Pain" is one of the coolest iPhone apps around. Not only does it turn your crappy voice into a sweet melodic T-Pain like sound, but it gets you mad bitches (rumor!). Now the makers of the app, Smule, have some sweet giveaways for the winner this contest. Details below.

Booty:

- $500.00 to each of the top ten finalists
- Grillz, modeled after T-Pain's own grillz, to each of the top ten finalists
- $5,000.00 and a Big Ass Chain ($47 value, approximate weight of 10 lbs) to the top finalist
- Internet fame and glory

Aspiring rappers should submit their video performances on YouTube. T-Pain and Smule will search for the best videos featuring I Am T-Pain. Using a proprietary T-Pain induced Smulean algorithm which combines views, ratings, suggestion of some musical talent, and lyrical inspiration, each week for the next ten weeks a finalist will be selected and announced, culminating in the announcement of the grand prize winner of the Big Ass Chain (a $47 value) on December 15th. If you think you’ve got what it takes, journalists and bloggers are welcome to participate. Contest details here.
