T-Pain Calls Out Kanye West's Auto-Tune Usage

10/30/2014
. (Radio.com) Rapper (ternt sanga), producer, and two-time GRAMMY winner T-Pain can now add self-proclaimed Auto-Tune expert to his resume. In an interview with the Huffington Post, T-Pain gave his assessment of how effectively other artists use Auto-Tune. (If you didn't realize there's a scale for this, you're not alone.) As for which rapper is at the bottom of his list, T-Pain thinks Kanye West doesn't know how to properly use Auto-Tune.

Even though West has had a lot of practice with Auto-Tune - in between using it for his seminal album 808s & Heartbreak and on every night of his Yeezus tour where he filters his monologues through it at the tail end of "Runaway" - T-Pain thinks that West's approaching it wrong.

"There are a lot of guys that use Auto-Tune that cannot sing," he said. "Kanye uses it, but he doesn't use it correctly." He added, however, that West still "makes great music with it."

What exactly is the problem? T-Pain thinks Auto-Tune shouldn't be used after singing. Read more here.
