I AM T-PAIN! Because it's Extremely Important Friday - everyone can now duplicate the auto-tuned lyrical stylings of noted artist T-Pain with this new iPhone application.

This isn't a post, it's a sales pitch. And not even to everyone, but just those with iPhones. Flagged.

Why do I hate Asher Roth? I don't even know him. I've never heard his music. Where is this anger coming from? Why?

If it makes you feel better hermitosis, I do not endorse the app and I actually suggest your firebomb Apple headquarters, T-Pain, AT&T and the League of Nations. But if you watch the videos, those are funny.

What wicked math makes that
Autotune the News = Awesome
T-Pain = Awful
Autotune the News + T-Pain = Still Awesome

hifiparasol: Asher Roth is the Dick Casablancas of Rap. Did you know rap needed a Dick Casablancas? Well, neither did I.

"Sounds like you're using some sort of...voice modulator" Always the funniest joke on The Best Show.

Has anyone actually used this app? It has a mode without the T-Pain backing tracks, right? Would it be useful for doing live auto-tune on the cheap?

Hah loved it. Don't have an iphone. Wouldn't get the app even if I did. Still an amusing video to watch.

At first I thought it said T-PALIN, and I thought, what the fuck is that family doing now?

pxe2000: You know, I was just trying to decide whether Asher Roth seemed like more of a Dick or a Beaver to me.

> Has anyone actually used this app?
In one day it's become the third best-selling iPhone app, so yes somebody has.
> It has a mode without the T-Pain backing tracks, right?
Documentation says "yes": "Write your own songs and use the Auto-Tune technology to make your voice shine."
> Would it be useful for doing live auto-tune on the cheap?
Assuming you would want to, yes. And regardless of whatever you might mean by "useful", I want no part of your horrible, horrible plans.

hifi: At least Beaver had brains. Dick was just a dumb musclehead.

When I was in middle school (early 2000s) I kept trying to sell people on Kraftwerk. One summer in belgium, daft punk was everywhere. Then they were stateside. Then, T-Pain!

T-Pain is a genius.
Anyone who flagged this as anything less than "fantastic post" can suck it.

Even though I'm probably guilty of having done this myself (too lazy to check), why do people insist on sharing that they've flagged a post?

I don't care what they say, this is a cool app. NOT a sales pitch! I want that thing.
Most rappers nowadays suck, why? Because they just use this and all sound the same when they sing...now we can record stuff like this all the time? I dunno, I think it's neat.
Also more useful than plenty of other iPhone apps. BUT, if anyone knocks my lightsaber app, I'm bout to cut a biznotch...
