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

[Sankofa Alwayz]

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.

Look, Ursher’s my nikka and will always be one of my GOAT R&B artists I listened to growing up but he can’t be coming at T-Pain for that shyt when he had these two big hits from what’s arguably his WOAT album and they were laden with auto-tune:





And I fukked with those songs when they came out especially OMG, shyt was part of my 12th grade soundtrack lol

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

But usher used autotune.

You can even hear subtle auto-tune from him in another one of his bigger hits from this past decade:

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Best selling albums:

T-Pain:

Rappa Turnt Sanga: Gold
Epiphany: 830k(Gold)
Three Ringz: 730k(Gold)

Usher:

Confessions: 15+ million worldwide
My Way: 8+ million worldwide
8701: 8+ million worldwide
Here I Stand: 5+ million worldwide

Exactly. T-pain had like a good 4 year run & fizzled out.

Usher got hits in 3 different decades. Why would he be jealous of t-pain of all people.

People calling it jealousy/hating when he's really just keeping it real & calling it for what it is.

Usher grew up singing in a chorus & had to sing on cue at those chitlin circuits to get discovered.

Came on the scene when R Kelly, boys II men , jodeci, & brian McKnight were running things.

I think it's safe to say that dude values & respects the skillset of singing & takes it seriously.

T Pain popped at the wrong time in some ways. Imagine if he had brought his style in maybe 10 years earlier when dudes had enough pride not to copy the next man so blatantly. He had Kellz potential.

Yeah man. It's crazy how clones are accepted now.

I was lost in 2014 when Thugger came out. But even took him five years to get any real commercial success.

 

[Losttribe]

lol no he has a terrible voice live

bar is really set low if you believe he can sing for real

he had to use auto tune

You're a fool

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

The one thats jealous and hating.




T-Pain did autotune like nobody before or after. It was HIS style and then everybody jumped on the bandwagon and fukked it up (i’ll give Kanye a pass for how impactful 808’s and Heartbreak was but thats where it stops) Lil Wayne did it HORRIBLY and got a pass. The Black Eyed Peas did HORRIBLY and got a pass. Usher himself dabbled in it and was mediocre.


T-Pain should’ve told Usher that he wasn’t shyt without Jermaine Dupri if they were keeping it funky like that

Don’t even remind me

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Usher's first 5 albums were legit.

All facts but he started falling off hard as hell around Raymond vs. Raymond tho

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

If you hate Teddy or his music
You just miserable

T-Pain first name is Teddy? I thought it was Tallahassee

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Listen listen listen….I may not agree with what Usher’s saying but y’all wild as hell claiming Usher ain’t a real singer lmao

Yea I wouldn't got that far lol. I mean he ain't R Kelly or nothing but I would never say he can't sing or whatever

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

I actually just watched the video clip now and maynee Usher a hating ass mf . Nice catalog but that ain't wavy to say to another "friend".

 

[voltronblack]

He wasn't wrong

Yeah it funny seeing posters go at usher for telling him that when alot posters on here were saying that at the time t-pain was coming up and auto-tune was become more popular hell even jayz went at it for everyone and their mama using it.

 

[Pseudonym]

kinda fukked up for Herps to say that
