Rapper/Singer T-Pain is widely recognised for his extensive use of the vocoder effect named ‘Auto-Tune’ yet since T-Pain burst on the scene with his debut single ‘Im Sprung’, the musician has built the auto-tune effect into a franchise, even releasing a number 1 ‘Most Downloaded’ iPhone app named ‘I Am T-Pain.
But T-Pain will not stop there as it has been recently announced that Pain will release his ‘T-Pain Mic’ in Kid’s stores ‘Toys R Us’ and ‘K-Mart’ across the US. Speaking exclusively to Reuters, Teddy Pain said "A lot of kids don't have cell phones, (so) in order to reach everyone, I'm taking it to where it can be a toy," said the Grammy-winning artist and producer. "They sell out every week. This was far beyond my expectations."
The singer has fallen under a lot of heat by using auto-tune yet this does not seem to bother the artist who states the effect re-constructs the tone of your voice but cannot buy you a singing career. Those are very true words!
The rapper is by no means the only one selling a microphone using voice modification technology. The makers of Bratz dolls have one, too, but T-Pain says he is not bothered by the competition.
"I don't care," said the rapper, who turns 26 years-old on Friday. "People will figure out which is better. I'm pretty sure there's no grown-ups buying Bratz toys to get that mic. I have no problem."
