T-Pain performed without Auto-Tune…and we are shocked

Posted on October 30, 2014October 31, 2014 by DeShonna Johnson

During an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, rapper/singer T-Pain surprised the hell out of everyone when he sang multiple songs without the use of his beloved Auto-Tune.  If you are pessimistic like me, you expect to hear some serious off-pitch singing. However, you get the complete opposite.

T-Pain sang multiple hits to nothing more than a piano played by Toro, including “Buy U A Drank,” “Up Down,” and more, and he SLAYED it.  He’s no John Legend, but he is damn near close.

It is also important to give props to T-Pain for the way he can make a song about a girl twerking have majestic beauty to it.

Maybe after this positive feedback, we’ll see a record full of ballads from the Nappy Boy?

If you don’t believe me, check out the video for yourself below.
