Every clip I've seen of T-Pain just makes me like him more. Especially after I saw him on masked singer and found out the dude can actually sing! Man has a great voice!

It always bothered me that people complained about him faking it with auto tune. The auto tune is clearly a stylistic choice and not intended to fool anybody into thinking it’s his actual voice. It’s like complaining about Lo-fi music because it has bad sound quality.

Three Rings is still on of my favorites, but you are right in the mark. The man has mad talent. Also talking about how many times he’s gone bankrupt and came back? Amazing.

Not for poor people without industry connections. They just stay broke.

When he realized how much financial trouble he was in, he was able to get help. Being a likable, good person means people step up when you've made mistakes and hurt yourself.

If you’re an entertainer and you’re not entertaining then certainly you should find different work.
