Tweet On Fabo!

So this is a lil' different from what I usually talk about, but I promise it's relevant. Over the weekend singer/fake-rapper T-Pain performed in Vegas and totally dissed rapper Jay-Z.

For those who don't know, here's the background: T-Pain is famous for using a special effect called Auto Tune on ALL of his records. He made this effect popular again after Roger Troutman's death in the 90s. So for the past few years, everyone's been flooding the airwaves & annoying the hell outta me with this effect.

Well after years of abuse, Jay-Z released a song called Death of Auto Tune. He specifically states that he's not talking to T-Pain on this record. He's basically saying the effect is being hugely overused and that no more artists should jump on this bandwagon.

Now back to the story: After T-Pain has remained silent for months about Jay-Z's song, he finally blows up at a show in Vegas. He rants and raves and attacks Jay-Z personally; not just about the song.

Now here's the relevant part: Another rap artist, Fabolous, was at the show & he tweeted about the incident while there! Fans took to Twitter instantly & dogged T-Pain for his bogus remarks.

This is another example of how social media is taking over in today's society! From the average Joe, to the rich and famous, everyone's using social media. As I said last time, be carful of what you do. You never know who's gonna hear about it...or how quickly!
