Watch T-Pain Belt Out the National Anthem at a Dodgers Game It was something that I had to kind of start learning. That time I sang in Spanish: I did “Como Estas” when I was living in Miami at the time. Little things I’ve learned throughout the years that I could have applied if I wasn’t such a lazy ass. Back then, I was real lazy and if I missed a note or one of the harmonies was off or something, I wouldn’t go back in and -do it so now when I listen to it, I’m always like, ‘Damn I really should have redone that.’ There’s a harmony I do now on “I’m Sprung” at my shows that I wish I would’ve did. It’s not like major lyric changes or anything like that. I’ll always wish I could’ve redone everything that I do. One edit I would’ve made: Me being an artist, I want all my songs to be singles. And I’m sure other people was goin’ through it but too afraid to talk about it I guess at the time but I just thought it was a normal thing because so much. The way I brought across this message was good, my melodies was catchy - all those things just help me tell the story. It had been a thing already but I didn’t think I was doing anything special or new but that’s just a natural thing for me.

I think there was a movie called Sprung at that time so then it was like the early ‘90s. The origin of the phrase “I’m Sprung”: I got that word “sprung” from a movie. I wasn’t the type to come up with the new dances or the new sayings so I just figured why not share stories of what I did today? I can tell that story in four different ways from different perspectives so at the time, I wasn’t trying to think of it as anything special, anything very different. On “I’m N Luv With A Stripper” making strip club records mainstream-friendly: On Rappa Ternt Sanga, I didn’t know what was cool or wasn’t cool - I was just going off life.
T-Pain Talks ‘Stoicville,’ Kanye West & How He’s ‘Not Done Making Hits’ I really wanted the world to hear my ideas. I wasn’t trying to prove a point or knock anybody out of their spot. T-Pain’s mission statement for Rappa Ternt Sanga: I was just in love with music at the time. The only thing that’s changed: Pain’s dreads have vanished.īillboard recently hopped on the phone with T-Pain to press rewind on the album’s cultural significance, his gripe with current artists, how he influenced Kanye West and why he’s no longer gullible.
A decade later, the influences drenched in Auto-Tune can still be heard in today’s rotation of hits from the vocal riffs of New Jersey rep Fetty Wap to the warbly anthems of Atlanta native Future and Toronto’s resident singing rapper, Drake.
