I give props 2 T Pain for doin his own thang n actually doin it well, true this whole auto tune shit gets extremely annoyin but Pain deserves all da rewards,(awards, money fame, etc) cuz of his production skills n "originality" because the vocoder n auto tune are way different. you ACTUALLY have to know how to play the right keys constatnly while you use the vocoder over auto tune where u jus twist a knob on da computer n change the Major/minor settin n your set for the whole track...
auto tune can b very fun 2 fuck around with while you recording but 2 abuse it n make whole songs n shit with it is retarded.
back 2 da original topic though..
there are some good songs out there with a good rnb n rap combo, u jus gotta push all da other bullshit collabs aside 2 find em. I think that mary j/ jada collab "Grind hard" is pretty good. not 2 sure if they was in da studio 2gether but collab is nice.
