T-Pain Speaks On Future Using AutoTune & Influencing Kanye West

From Vlad TV:

T-Pain clarified statements about Future not using auto-tune correctly, explaining that no other artist out right now knows the technology better than himself. He then begins to explain the history of why auto-tune was invented, which came from knowledge straight from the creator, whom he also met.

T-Pain also speaks about working with Kanye on “808’s & Heartbreaks’ in Hawaii, but admits he was upset over all the praise that Kanye got, because he felt that “Rapper Turned Singer” was the same album. When asked about working on Kanye’s “Good Life” track, T-Pain admits that it was one of the hardest songs he’s ever worked on.

Spotted on HipHopDX:

Producer Rico Wade says that Future has recorded a collaboration with Andre 3000 titled “Benz Bitch,” according to stereogum.com. The song is set to be featured on Future’s forthcoming Honest album.

“It’s yet another side of Future and one rarely heard: brainy, libidinous space-age funk mined from Stankonia’s dankest caverns, an homage to his Dungeon Family roots,” stereogum.com writes of the song. “Hearing him on a track with Andre feels like a historic convergence of generations.”

Wade, who is Future’s cousin, said he hopes that Future will be featured during OutKast’s reunion performances at Coachella.
