I don't think tpain is ugly ....

People just aren't used to seeing dark skin folks in pop / hip-pop..

Dirty Money likely wouldn't have made it without a push from Diddy.
50 Cent was the hottest thing on Earth at the time. And then Akon himself at the time. But they had sex symbol type bodies (pause) for the women. T-Pain didn't.
