T - Pain Disses Kanye West

It's been a decade since T-Pain released his debut album, Rappa Ternt Singa, and the Tallahassee native spoke about his influence, including how he feels Kanye's 808s & Heartbreaks, was a direct copy of his debut album. When asked about the album's sound staying relevant the Florida spitter told Billboard, "I would say as recent as [Kanye West's] 808s & Heartbreaks, which was a direct copy of Rappa Ternt Sanga." T-Pain explained, "I'm not just being a d*** saying that s*** sounds a lot like mine. Like literally [Kanye] told me that he listened to Rappa Ternt Sanga and he made 808s & Heartbreaks. He even brought me in to make it sound more like Rappa Ternt Sanga." Before adding that the influence of his album is "never going to stop," T-Pain said that "Something that I did that was directly copied got so many awards -- that's evidence right there. Rappa Ternt Sanga is still relevant because the sound is still prevalent in the whole industry."
