T-pain is a bland, repetitive, talentless fool.

Roger Troutman is a funk legend.

Uhhhh....TPain what a stupid name. I should sue whomever brought up this topic he is NOWHERE CLOSE to Roger Troutman! Roger Troutman is a master showman and genius multi-instrumentalist.

Now to cleanse everyone's palate of this garbage here is one of my favourite Roger Troutman performances:

I was listening to Roger's Unlimited cd this morning and of course Roger always used the vocoder as does T Pain. Do you think Roger influenced him? I know T Pain is no where near as talented as Roger though.

Ladies is T Pain sexy? lol




lol...I was just thinking about this the other day @ work, he is a Roger Troutman wanna be, always talking through that voice box...lol

Hell No! Roger was actually very talented. T-Pain can't even sing. All he is is some rapper pretending to be good with fake equipment

Lesson 1:
Vocoder


Roger's "Talk Box"

Most likely, T-Pain & Akon (occasionally) are using this:


Software.

Roger = legend and giant of music. you can't fuck with him.

t-pain = punk ass kid with shit music.


does he use a vocoder tho? I think ive only heard a couple of his songs but I could have sworn he was just doing that thing with the autotune on overdrive.

I had no idea who this T Pain dude was, but then I made the mistake of clicking on the youtube link...

Seriously, what the fuck is this shit?
Somebody shoot this fucktard.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

It was confirmed in a recent interview with Vibe that he uses auto tune and it takes him quite a while to get the sounds to sound correct...

Here is T-Pain's secret:
Anteres Auto-tune


All you need is this software,some recording software that uses VST effects, a mic and absolutely NO TALENT WHATSOEVER and you too can be T-Pain.
Its actually pitch correction software but if you set it right, it will slide notes into key giving you the "T-Pain" effect. you do NOT have to know how to sing AT ALL. Literally ANYONE can sound like a singer.
I am 99.999998% sure about what he is using.

Now I'm no fan of his, but in his defense T-Pain is not actually that bad of a vocalist. I've seen him sing without the software. This is definitely his gimmick, though. This will get you the T-Pain effect.

Yes you can definitely hear the Troutman influence in T Pain's music. But I think I would call him a much weaker version of Roger. T Pain is probably just a flash in the pan.

Please don't insult the memory and legacy of Roger with the sheer, utter and vile bullshit that is T-Pain. Roger deserves WAY BETTER than that.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Yeah I would also say that T-Pain is abusing auto-tune to achieve that, um, effect.

Yeah, I know. When I said he's not that bad I meant he's not Cassie bad. He's not Ja Rule or 50 singing on rap hooks bad. He's no contender for a best vocalist category. Oh shit. Now that I've said that, watch his ass get nominated for best R&B vocalist at an awards show this year. rolleyes

Exactly... should have been "They call me Teddy Pain-In-The-Ass" mad

And as far as the sexiness is concerned... he can go team up with Lil'Wayne as the Butt-Ugly Twins or somedin'...

No, because Roger Troutman used the talkbox, NOT the vocoder.
