If you have a copy of T-Pain’s Epiphany available, put it in your CD player and skip to track number nine. Once the song begins to play you’ll notice that it’s a collaborative effort, featuring Konvict crooner Ray Lavender on the hook. And while the track was never pushed as a single off Epiphany, it has been resurrected for placement on Ray L’s forthcoming self-titled debut. In addition to renaming his album (formerly titled X-Rayted), the Atlanta native reworked the T-Pain production, writing two full verses to compliment his previously-penned hook. Accompanying his current radio single, Stay (for which he just shot a video), Put It Down shows off Ray’s vocal abilities, in addition to capturing his talents as a song-writer.
This sounds like hit potential. T-Pain's flow is always full of energy. Ray-L's vocals ain't bad. But he don't look like he would sound like that...weird
no!
he messed this up. why would they change the original to make this?
bad decision because the original was hot.
this is just a ripoff... i think if your going to take a song, at least make it hot.
this is not hot.
i've neva heard da original...but i DONT CARE becuz Ray L DID IT 4 me! he made DIS sooooo sex-e 4 for reals. i luv DIS right herrrrre. ....but t-pain i dont think should have been dat energetic in da begin-n becuz DIS wuz suposed 2 b a sex-e song and dat wasnt very sex-e 4 me. GJ RAY!
dis isn't betta den thee original but it hot ...n shood get ray L some more attention after "girl's gotta girlfriend" none of his stuff was close tocomparison this mayb the hit to help get himsum shine i kno the labels desperate now cuz then recycled this joint for him....which in my opinon was a smart move.
yup i remember the original 2 this,one of the slow songs i du like from t-pain as well as blow ur mind definate smooth track for the ladies and even better with the added extra verses Ray L putting it down 4sho on this..
I still don't think Ray Lavender is a very strong rnb artist, not sure if it's just me but his singing just doesn't work for me. This is actually a good track and I have a vague recollection of it from the t-pain album. I would say it's a very smart move for him since it's a good sounding track, and the 'modifications' were what he needed to make his song his own. The track has a good beat and has the elements to make it popular on the radio.
@DonJonJon.. Heck yea we like it!!!
T-Pain killed it with the first one, speaking of, this one seems edited, because in the original, the lyrics are more explict.. Anywho, definatley a panty dropper!!!! : )
This song was already hot but now since it has Ray L its even better... Ray L kinda sorta sounds like Trey songs in a way.... He has his own style though, this song is off the chain...
Same here, I neva heard the original but I'm feelin' this. 'I'm get get get get get' lol. Alright now, I think Ray may get get get get a hit with this.
This song sounds like an old r and b song (w/o the T-Pain) verse. Like an old maybe Dru Hill or somebody like that. I like it though it's iight. T-Pai is F_I_R_E, with or without the voice box.
i like this, alot. i wouldnt play it constantly cuz rnb don usually do tht for me, but its an excellent song. only in rotation but giving it 4 for the quality music
i like this song on t-pain album better. on this song and girl gotta girlfriend t-pain version was way better than ray l version. i think ray l should be more original with his song sample. i give the original song a 4.5 stars but i subtract 1 for this song so i give this song 3.5 stars
The T-Pain Epiphany album is one of my all-time favorites and i thought it was really underrated. I think i liked the original better. Never really thought of this song as a single so it surprises me. It was a transition song to me. But it not too much worse than the original. A little too slow.
naw i like da original betta....da chorus on here is TOOOO EDITED n it jus messes up da vibe of da song....dey should stick to da t-apin version....how u jus recycle sumbody song off dey album n put it on urs?!?!?!?!?! wat da hell!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!
nothing i would grind to, its missing sumthing 4 me, mainly cuz all theses r&b are all sounding the same. but its just 2 silly sounding 4 me to get my freak on to. i wouldnt care if the girl was feeling this song its a str8 pass 4 me, so 4 me i have to give it 1 out 5
I STILL LIKE THIS SONG EVEN THOGHT ITS NOT DA ORIGNAL DAMN!!!!!! I WANT MA MAN TO MAKE LOVE TO ME OFF DIZ SONG OMG!!!!! DAMN JUST BY LISTENING TO DIZ SONG MAKE's ME HORNY!!!!
