Tallahassee Pain is taking his act on the road to India as part of the VH1 program, Hip Hop Hustle.

T-Pain is set to perform in India on a three-city tour this weekend. The "rapper turnt singer" will perform in Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune on June 17th, 18th and 19th respectively.

Ferzad Palia, the head of VH1 said, “This time we've outdone ourselves by bringing down our biggest hip hop act yet.”

T-Pain will usher in the fifth year of the Tuborg VH1 Hip Hop Hustle, which has earlier brought in artists from the international music scene such as Mobb Deep, Chamillionaire, Mims, DJ Green Lantern and Kardinal Offishall to India. For ticket info click the link www.vh1india.com/TBHHH.

According to the man, it has been since 1940, as he is now, reportedly, being studied by doctors the Indian military to learn the secret behind his methods.

The mystic, Prahlad Jani, is claiming that he is a breatharian, meaning that he doesn't need food or drink to serve as a substance to fill him up and he only draws his nourishment from the air and through meditation.

Clearly, this might not be the case within the confines on the United States as most people can barely stand to breathe the gas-infested air now.

Further investigation show that Jani is not the only person that has been able to accomplish such a thing as there are claims that people living without food or water is called inedia, and it's actually pretty common for religious fakirs and godmen of India.

As people looked to test his claim, he was examined in 2003 for a week where he did not eat or exercise, but he gradually lost weight which would make his “air-eating” come as unbelievable if the air was meant to feed him.

With days not serving as enough backing, reports are stating that he must be under close observation for months or years to truly prove that there is validity in his claims.

55 employees at Kaiga Nuclear Power Plant underwent emergency treatment after it was revealed that they drank water laced with tritium, a highly radioactive isotope, with the cancer inducing substance being revealed only after post-shift drug detecting urine tests.

The move raises concerns about India's ability to safe guard its recently obtained nuclear facilities from anyone that would steal materials or information from them; people such as terrorists.

Currently, 15 employees have been narrowed down in the search for whoever committed the salacious act.

Collaborating with the likes of Bill Plympton, a famed illustrator, the rapper/producer has come up with Through the Wire, which is a graphic memoir that will feature the lyrics to 12 of his most significant songs in his career.  With the ego that West has come to build while in the industry, who would have thought that 12 would be enough to sum up his best work.

The upcoming literary work has been given a drop date of November 10^th as to when it will be available for fans that are thirsty enough to find a new way into the rapper's life.

The lyrics will be accompanied with illustrations and the book will overall serve as an autobiography that will chronicle his story.  In lamest terms, Plympton will use his artistic ability to bring out his particular image of West's words as if creating an outlet to his world through his own eyes.

Debuting as the College Dropout, the Chicago native will dive into his choice to leave higher learning for music as well as his known days at The Gap which he delivered to fans in the form of “Spaceship.”  The book will also follow his struggles in making a name for himself as a producer and that car accident that left him with a wired jaw, but in the end served as a catalyst in his career in the ranks of Roc-A-Fella with Jay-Z.

Prior to this upcoming book, a photo book entitled, Glow In The Dark tour was exactly what seems apparent from the title.  In his most successful of tours, up to now, the work gives the experience in the form of countless photographs used to capture what was Kanye West's grand stand as an artist.

West gave his thumbs up of the work by means of his blog.

This is the photo book from the Glow in the Dark tour.  Nabil captured the experience like crazy! When I look at the photos it brings me right back to that time! It's very emotional for me because I didn't want to have to tour but my pain brought my greatest creation to date.  Thank you to everybody who came to the shows and experienced this moment in time with me.

Time is the only indicator that can tell when the heart and soul will heal and West has made it evident that the time is long overdue.  Now taking time away from the politics of the industry, the artist will only come back stronger.

The word is after the Taylor Swift-gate Ye was going to take some time off. Then came news of Kayne backing out of the highly anticipated Fame Kills Tour with Lady Gaga and the never ending photo ops with Amber Rose.

Now Kayne is reportedly spending a month at a Hindu retreat in India.

There has been a lot of speculation about some of the choices Kanye West has been making in his life since the death of his mother in 2007 due to complications during surgery. Some say the 32 year old Ye has lost his way.

It seems West is taking some time out now for a religious retreat to reassess his life at a Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, a small coastal town in South India. According to an inside source he sees his life going in the wrong direction and feels badly about the VMA's incident.

I knew Kanye was headed for a sabbatical when I heard the Beyonce "Ego" Remix featuring the Chi-town rapper. These lyrics made me think he was headed for disaster.

It's a celebrity like this that ends up collapsing under the weight of stuff like this. His celebration of ego had me visualizing Kanye on top of a mountain in Tibet sitting with monks, trying to find out the meaning of life and the right size for the ego. He'd put on one of their robes and drink goji berry juice.

After coming down from that thin, enlightening mountain air and getting back to his celebrity he would blog about how everybody should try goji berry juice and meditate. Maybe even throw it in a song or too and make you feel pedestrian for now being up on this new, hot ancient freshness like him.

Surely he would slip into excesses and attention whoreiness again but he'd take another sabbatical before the next album and repeat the process again.

Ok, so I was off a bit about the country. Also, I thought this "breakdown" would happen sooner, with emotional lower stakes in the media's response to his actions and that he would be back to being the Kanye South Park loved to make fun of by now.

I'll bet he is going through a rough time right now and a retreat would probably be good for him. I in no way want to make light of what Kanye West must be feeling right now and I think the loss of his mother plays a big role in this.

Hopefully he can come back an even more refreshing and creative Kanye than the one the won us over with his debut The College Dropout in 2004. Hopefully he will be more at peace but still outspoken and eager as ever...and probably with a song like Alanis Morrissette's thanking India.
