Performed by the average person, T-Pain scratching demo would probably be considered somewhat basic. Still, it’s refreshing to find out that T-Pain is not only skilled with Auto-Tune, but is also competent on the 1’s and 2’s.

those cuts were mad sloppy, straight up
skilled with auto-tune? are you kidding me? you set a couple settings and it does it for you, what skill is involved?
i’ve never understood the way people make excuses for shit. you even said if anyone else did it you wouldn’t care, but because some popular hack that only knows how to abuse auto-tune obnoxiously does it and that someone makes it impressive?

…what an incredibly ignorant statement. you’d be surprised to know he also produced (yes, made the beats) for his entire first 2 albums. u aint gotta like the music, but give respect where respect is due. this is a producer’s blog..start checkin the credits homey.

It sounds as if you may have misinterpreted or misread what was written. The statement does not imply that T-Pain is only skilled in the use of auto-tune, but rather that in addition to auto-tune, he is also competent on the 1’s and 2’s. Nowhere were his skills as a producer diminished or called into question.
In fact, T-Pain has often been highlighted on this site in videos and interviews involving discussion about production, in particular his use of Logic Pro.
