T-Pain says he became depressed after Usher told him he "f*cked up music" with autotune.

[Stick Up Kid]

Usher in 2013 was just mad he was irrelevant.

[Bubba T]

Sounds like Usher was just hating
T-Pain changed the sound of music - and truly had massive hits.
There also hasn’t been a single artist who has been as proficient with auto tune as he was, including Future and Lil Wayne.

fukk does Usher have to hate for? Dude is an actual singer

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Not to many people tried to mimic Roger Troutman in the 80s..

Talkbox is different and requires knowing g how to setup your synthesizer to get the sound. You need a basic sawtooth sound, and know basic keyboard playing.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

T-Pain didn't fukk up music. He did autotune really well. Those who decided to copy him and use it horribly fukked up music at the time.

This.

T Pain actually had talent to back up his autotune usage. I mean, the dude could actually sing. Now you got all of these tight jeans with the bulge ass rappers using the shyt WRONG and sounding like stirred fried cat shyt with the style

 

[Commish]

Usher has a point somewhat, but he could have been a lil more tactful. If T-Pain wouldn't have used autotune, then someone else would have used it.

People could say that ghost writers fukked up the integrity of emceeing, but most people don't pay attention to lyrics like that nor do they care about shyt like that, so...


Point is that music is constantly changing. New styles, new equipment and new technology evolves. People gonna like what they like and I doubt T-Pain put a dent in Usher's pockets.

What kind of friend tells another friend he ruined an entire subject? Sheesh.

most people aren't our friends just acquaintances due to circumstance
people who keep us company so we don't feel alone and do things with
even a real friend can turn into an acquaintance over time and you don't know it

That haven't been legit on the radar besides "No Limit". Dude been washed since he did a sneaky with not following his own decision of putting out legit R and B. Since "Here I Stand", but been making techno Euro CAC shyt for molly takers and Fyre Festival gatherers

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

T pain used it better than 99% of mumble rappers

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

If you hate Teddy or his music
You just miserable

 

[KamikazePilot]

Music hasn’t been ruined only old nikkas with receding hairlines think that

 

[Blackrogue]

I didn't mind t pain using it but I hate that robotic tone cause I hear it everywhere in songs nowadays. Doesn't sound organic and makes everyone sound the same

 

[Deuterion]

What kind of friend tells another friend he ruined an entire subject? Sheesh.

you need honest friends

 

[buzzkill]

i blame wayne and kanye for overdoing the autotune shyt

 

[Oatmeal]

it was an industry secret in 98 when Cher's engineer used it on a hit song and antares was a new company not when T-pain did. It was already heavily used in dancehall simliar to how he did in the preceding years to him coming out. how was it a secret when it was a common tool? he just changed the way people used it into something like a vocoder instead of just being pitch correction tool. that don't make it a secret master bullshytter
