God-king of Auto-Tune, T-Pain presents his radio-rap rangers for an event with so much bass Anaheim Public Works will patch cracks in the parking lot all the way until the Summer Jam 2011 trucks start pulling in. Besides chartmonger T-Pain and Bay Area classicists Too Short and E-40—two different generations, two different velocities—you’ll get Compton rapper YG, the first LA signee to Def Jam since the heyday of the Dre era, as well as Oakland bubblegum rapper Bobby Brackins and Basicali, a former youth minister from OC (although his website says that’s “long behind him”) who nevertheless probably comes pre-equipped with a fan base in Orange County to stand up and shout with him.
