A number of veteran artists have shared their disdain for the perceived lack of originality among today’s rap artists, the latest being T-Pain. The auto-tune maven spoke on the perceived redundancy of the music currently dominating the airwaves during a recent Twitch session. “Do some different music!” shouted the rapping singer.” We have all the sh*t that you’re doing! Lil Uzi Vert is already it! Lil Baby is already doing it! DaBaby is already doing it! It’s literally two ni**as with Baby in their name that’s already doing all the music you want!”
He continued with his rant, adding, “Do something else! Do something else! That’s it! That’s all we want! Do something else! Holy sh*t! We have it! We have it already! You don’t have to do that music anymore!”
Legendary rapper/producer Dr. Dre voiced his agreement with Pain’s sentiments by reposting a clip of the “Can’t Believe It” creator’s tirade on his own Instagram account. “Shoutout to @tpain,” Dre wrote. “I’m here laughing my fucking ass off, but he’s right. I know and feel exactly what you’re saying.”
