Roger Troutman used a TALKBOX which is connected to a keyboard. The sound of the keyboard comes out of a tube that is inserted into the mouth....U PLAY THE KEYBOARD and just SOUND OUT THE WORDS....
Took all of 5 seconds to make...... using Sony Acid and Auto Tune VST Plugin... why pay T-Pain just use the software and you too could flood the public with your own T-Pain knock off.....:ermm:
No he wasn't. Please stop disrespecting Roger by comparing him to that worthless, talentless fuck T Pain. Roger used a talkbox which takes WAY more talent to use than that bullshit auto tune. And Roger wasn't even the first one to use the talkbox. Stevie wonder was doing it years before Roger and there were people using it even before him. And on top of that, T Pain wasn't even the first to use auto tune like that. Cher and faggot boy bands were using that shit 10 years before T Pain. Plus he's a fuckin homo talkin about ray j's dick. fuck t pain.
the thing that pisses me off is with all these corny ass booty ass mufuckas rippin off someones style and takin credit for it is that they fool the general "pop consumers" into thinkin they came up with that shit.The only one ive ever heard pay homage to Roger Troutman is mainly Snoop (bein from the West Coast obviously) and a few other West Coast artists.These young cats that are listenin to this shit think its some dope ass shit these fuckin cornballs like T-Pain and Lil Wayne came up with.And before any of yall start sayin theres a difference between what Roger was doin and what T-Pain does i know the difference between voicebox and vocoder but damn give credit where credit was due.It's just like when Blackstreet came out with that shit they did,fools thought it was what they started.
on a sidenote: what ever happened to that Roger Troutman tribute album that Snoop and a bunch of other artists were supposed to put out,did that shit ever see the light of day?
