During story-time on one of the producer’s live streams, T-Pain told the story of the time Travis Scott ditched him. Obviously, T-Pain has been a legend in the hip-hop scene for years, and to many, he laid the foundation for much of rap vocals in today’s era.
T-Pain was arguably the first hip-hop artist to flourish while using auto-tune and pitch correction software on his vocals. Artists like Travis Scott have since ushered in a new era where auto-tuned vocals are the norm.
T-Pain, and many others, have argued that he definitely played a role in the popularity of the technique today, which is now commonly featured in rap vocals as an effect, rather than as a pitch-correction technique.
Unfortunately for the artist, he thinks that Travis Scott doesn’t have the same amount of appreciation for him as he’d like. During a Twitch stream, T-Pain told the story of the time Travis had gone to his studio to work on a track together.
According to T-Pain, Travis needed better studio monitors, also known as speakers, because he wanted it to be as loud as possible. The producer proceeded to rent out a speaker system that cost around $500 day per day.
Travis, however, apparently didn’t like the rapper’s beats, and he and his team fell asleep while T-Pain worked on something new. Travis and his crew left, so T-Pain asked him if he still wanted to do the song together, to which Scott responded with a “yes.”
However, as the days went by and the speaker bill went up, T-Pain realized he had been ghosted. His goal of getting a Travis Scott feature never came to fruition.
Hot New Hip Hop says that T-Pain was laughing through much of the Twitch stream, but they claim it looked like he was visibly hurt by the lack of respect. No one likes to be ghosted.
