Taylor Swift: "Thug Story" ft. T-Pain (Video)

T-Pain is waging a one man war to kill hip-hop dead, and to further his mission, he appeared in a video with Taylor Swift called "Thug Story" that aired during last night's CMT Awards. The clip is pretty rough--Swift actually tries to rap--and if it wasn't made for the folks watching the CMT Awards to giggle at hip-hop and was partially funny, maybe it wouldn't seem so sad. "Rappin' Rodney" was a more credible gangsta jam and held hip-hop in higher esteem, and that dude was 134-years-old and just doing bits from his stand-up routine.
