Dude has had so much influence on hip-hop and constantly gets shit on. Jay-Z had to target him with D.O.A. that pretty much ended his run at the top. So many hits, yet people think of him as joke. Shit is sad

And he's a super talented multi-instrumentalist and singer. Not a lot of RnB and hip hop artists can do what he does.

T-Pain legitimately can sing and perform. He's a good artist, I gained a lot of respect for him when I saw him live.

He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor.

Nah, autotune was fun. He didn't use it as a crutch, just as way to make himself unique... then everyone jacked it. I don't blame him for that.

I thought DOA was a jab at all the artists including Ye jumping on autotunes after T-Pain became big.

Jay Z simply gave him hiatus, as he was overtuned at the time (going almost 4 years strong of being on a chunk of every hip hop/pop song on the charts will do that)

He was right back on top with 5 o clock in 2011, and id go as far as to say that was one of the best songs of his career. And he was on 'Hey Baby' with Pitbull the year before, another top 10 hit. Im not the biggest Jay fan but lets not act like Tpain wasnt beginning to play himself out, that Thug Story shit with Taylor Swift was cringeworthy

But yea, unfortunately he wont likely be remembered as an innovator and major influence behind mid 2000s music, rather just that one guy who really used autotune well when we were in middle school

it wasn't

jay literally says 'you t-paining too much' in the song

he was talking about the so called 'gangsta' rappers using auto tune and singing

Death of autotune wasnt about Tpain, Jay anf him are cool and hes made jokes about Tpain before (like on the Put on Remix) but Death of Autotune seemed to accelerate the rate at which people got tired of autotune snd by extension T pain. Normally artists fall out of favor gradually but Tpain went from years on top to not hot in like a matter of months

Most people assumed he was just some regular ass dude who can't sing, using autotune to have a career in the first place.

Bummer because this will probably happen and then he'll wind up in Flavor Flav/LL Cool J territory as "personality" who happened to be a huge presence in music once upon a time.

His whole shtick is auto tune. But I do like that he embraces it instead of trying to hide it.

someone who actually remembers when LL was considered one of the best and MCs in the game, and for years. Yea i hope Tpain doesnt fall down that route, people hate on AutoTune a little too much. He was one of the guys who showed its range in hip hop and even top 40 radio
