T-Pain's fingerprints are all over pop and R&B and hip-hop. He wasn't the first musician to use Auto-Tune as an instrument โ he noticed it on a Jennifer Lopez remix, and remembers "Deep" well โ but it was, as he says, his style. For a while, in the mid-2000s, he lived at the top of the charts. He dominated that brief moment of our lives when ringtones were a thing. He was celebrated as an innovator, and he happily took his talents where he was invited, which was everywhere.
But somewhere along the way, somebody got it twisted. "People felt like I was using it to sound good," says T-Pain, in an interview that will air on All Things Considered. "But I was just using it to sound different.โ
He just turned 30, but T-Pain has already done enough to drop a greatest hits album next week. We asked him if he'd grace the Tiny Desk without any embellishment or effects to show what's really made his career: his voice, and those songs.--FRANNIE KELLEY

He's hella funny too. Auto tune didn't make T-pain famous. T-pain made auto tune famous.

T-Pain is the only person who could sing about strippers and still make it feel like a love story that is relatable

The industry owes him an apology.

Only T pain could turn a twerk song into an angelic masterpiece

T-pain looks and acts like he doesn't even know he's famous ๐

The NYT article led me here. "T-Pain used his Tiny Desk performance to demolish the idea that he lacked talent, sitting beside a single electric-piano player and singing, beautifully, with no digital adornment. The video of his set went viral, not least among those only just learning that his use of Autotune was artistic flair, not a crutch; it remains one of the most watched of the hundreds of sessions Tiny Desk has produced."

The world deserves an acoustic T pain album

Living proof that T-Pain only used autotune as an aesthetic choice rather than to cover for his singing ability.

This just makes me want to place dollar bills ever so gingerly and in a respectful way in a stripper's undergarments.

โT-pain didnโt need auto tune, the auto tune needed T-painโ

So sad to see people were sleeping on his talent up until this NPR. People didnt understand he was only using auto-tune for aesthetic. I saw him live when he debuted "I'm Sprung" and was blown away. Give this man his flowers ๐๐๐๐พ๐๐พ!

He killed it.

I'm ashamed to say this.. but I did not know T-Pain could freaking SANG like this.. this was amazing and I'm literally blown away. And he seems so funny. Grew up as a kid listening to his music and the infamous auto-tune, but this was so refreshing and the renditions were so freaking nice.
