8. T-Pain

After he nearly single-handedly destroyed hip-hop with a little thing called Auto-Tune, T-Pain lives on. Jay-Z felt the need to dedicate a whole eulogy called 'D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-
Tune)' as an attempt to put it to rest. Usually when Jay says something is dead -- i.e.
wearing basketball jerseys -- it ultimately dies. T-Pain’s career? Not so much. The southern rappa-ternt-sanga always finds his way into the party, whether we like it or not. He’s still going, having dropped 'rEVOLVEr' at the close of last year, and yes, he still loves his Auto-Tune. Now, when people say “You’re T-Painin’ too much,” the response will be, “Why, thank you!”
