HonkMagazine

T-Pain is often considered the face of Auto-Tune, a vocal effect that became hugely popular in the 2000s. He produced some of the biggest songs of that time using this technology, but he recently clarified that he wasn’t the only one responsible for its success. In a thoughtful conversation on The Big Pod with Shaq, T-Pain explained that Snoop Dogg played a crucial role in making Auto-Tune acceptable and cool for listeners. T-Pain shared that there was a lot of resistance to Auto-Tune at first, with some people thinking of it as just a gimmick. But when Snoop Dogg started using it, everything changed. T-Pain remarked, “Snoop did it, then it was totally fine.

Everybody was like, ‘Okay, I guess we can listen to it.'” This shift in attitude allowed Auto-Tune to break into mainstream music beyond just T-Pain’s songs. Songs like Snoop’s “Sexual Eruption” showed that Auto-Tune could be a big part of many artists’ music styles, solidifying its place in both rap and pop. Interestingly, Snoop also recognized T-Pain’s influence on his own music, praising him during an episode of his show, Nappy Boy Radio. This connection between the two artists highlights how they support and inspire each other in expanding the music landscape.

Today, Auto-Tune is everywhere in music, from trap hits by Future to the catchy flows of Lil Uzi Vert. T-Pain’s effect on the music industry is clear, but his recent comments emphasize the importance of collaboration and approval in artistry. Ultimately, T-Pain acknowledges that while he revolutionized Auto-Tune, Snoop Dogg was the one who helped make it popular for everyone to enjoy. It’s heartwarming to see these music legends celebrate each other’s contributions as the industry grows and changes.
