Pain revealed his latest trinket last night via his <a href="http://twitter.com/DaRealerstTPain" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. Pain&#8217;s &#8220;Big Ass Chain&#8221; is valued at a whopping $410,000 and in case you&#8217;re wondering, he says that his bling is 197-karats and weighs in at 10 pounds:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Dudes and girls, I just wanna give a quick preview of the last chain you&#8217;ll ever like. I&#8217;m shuttin&#8217; it down.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;I told everybody I&#8217;m not playing no more anybody wanna try to out do me then we goin at it like next door neighbors. Believe dat&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;10lbs. 197kts. Very very real I don&#8217;t know what fake feel like.$410,000. Hola señor recession proof.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14598" title="11560410" src="http://straightfromthea.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2009/06/11560410.jpg" alt="11560410" width="425" height="600" /></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">T. Pain goes on to explain his recent purchase after someone left the following comment under his photo: <strong><em>&#8220;That is coonery at its finest hour&#8230;smh&#8230;another lose for blacks in society&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;lets celebrate the fact a black man can have things like this and still care for 3 kids and wife n a $6 million house with 32 cars.Oldest child 5 and already got 4 million in her own account.I dont do dumb shit like this till I know the fams good so don&#8217;t judge me frm what I buy. Judge me frm what I do.Cuz it&#8217;s so many artists that put themself before their family.&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m of the mindset that it&#8217;s his money and he can spend it as he so chooses, but in an age where there are so many people suffering financially, it just seems a tad bit insensitive.  Shoot, for $410,000 he coulda bailed out quite a few failing businesses and saved some jobs round here&#8230; </p>

Check out my new BFF, Yung Joc&#8217;s new song entitled &#8220;Down Low&#8221; feat. AK and T-Pain.  It&#8217;s really not about what you think&#8230;or maybe it is depending on your state of mind. I immediately jumped to my own conclusions before I heard it&#8230;but I&#8217;m from the &#8220;A&#8221; so please forgive me.
