Lemme just express my disdain for T Pain a bit. LOVE his music, but he's sorta got TOOL TENDENCY'S much like Kanye West who I LOATHE.
And this is a perfect example of what I mean...So get this...
T-Pain is seeking royalties From artists who use Auto-Tune (that's recording software EVERY artist uses in the studio music world, me included)
T-Pain has made a career for himself by heavily using the Auto-Tune effect on his vocals, which has now become his trademark sound. But as other artists embrace the technology on their own songs, the singer is now seeking royalties for those who mimmick his style.
Diddy has already handed over a payout to T-Pain, for using the effect on his upcoming album. "Diddy actually gave me royalties on this album just for using Auto-Tune. He signed the contract and everything," Pain tells MTV.
"If I can do that with Diddy, somebody else better be signing something. It's Diddy. He didn't have to involve me at all. I'm writing and producing on his album, and he gave me extra royalties on top of that for using something I just brought back."
T-Pain says of working with Diddy: "I gave him eight tracks. I don't how many he's gonna use, but I'll tell you how many I gave him. He's doing a little more singing. He's more like the Euro style. He's keeping it hip-hop but bringing some Euro in it. Very electronica."
Okay Diddy can go away, I STILL have issues with him breaking up DANITY KANE, but COME ON T PAIN...ROYALTIES?!!
He's effing HIGH!
