    Shame on T-pain for taken Diddys money. Why Diddy asking permission and paying dude when T-pain didnt even invent the machine. Diddy be the only one paying dude, i dont see any other rapper using it paying t-pain. T-pain should pay Rogers family and even cher in that case.

  2. vigorous Says:

    first of all…..

    WHAT THE FUCK IS AUTO-TUNES?

    2nd of all…..

    what the fuck does he mean by half a point? point of what….source ratings?

  3. ANTHONY THE SNITCH Says:

    co sign with number 1 the shits disgustin t-pan is so immature. and before i say anything let it be known im a t-pain fan but…. he’s being real childish about this whole thing he used it caz of his obvious lack of talent. HE IS CREATIVE in making those catchy hooks and songs you can relate to but he isnt as talented as a r.kelly or usher. you’d think he’d be grateful just to know he is a trendsetter in the game and pivotal to alot of people’s success. alot of people using the autotune but they dnt make the same catchy hooks as him and dont make the same songs as him. this is just feeding his ego. maybe its the fact that he gettin so salty about it diddy breakin him off lol. but this aint helpin him, i mean fuck… when you seak about the success of artist in the 2000 he gonna be mentioned he in the history books. i wudnt ave even gave half ass artist like ace hood a chance if it wasnt for him. *sighs* for all you crazed fans, rappers are just regular people. idiots like the rest of us

    wuts a half a point?

  5. sideshowRaheem Says:

    @the Bay

    If I’m not mistaken that refers to half a percentage point. The accounting for albums is broken down into 100 percentage points most of that goes to the lable for promotion, a certan amount goes to manufacturing for discs and packaging and what’s left goes to the talent(artist, producers, engineer). Just to put in perspective a half a point off a Diddy album could could add up to more than what most people make in a year.

    who buys diddys albums

  7. sideshowRaheem Says:

    Before everyone gets there panties this is what Diddy does he takes what’s popular and jacks that shit for his project so this should be shocking to anyone.

  8. BX 4 Life Says:

    who buys diddys albums

    If u go and look it up you will see that Diddy is a MULTIPLATINUM selling artist. As a matter of fact to my knowledge I beleive Press Play is a platinum album…

    it’s god to see brothers making money!
    It’s inspirational

    It’s inspirational
    to all my hungry mo’foz

  19. black Says:

    half a point is 0.5% of what diddy album sales will make

  20. black Says:

    knowing there is a cut for the authors, the composers, the vocalists, the A&R, the exec producers, the producers, the distributers, etc..

    generally the biggest share is for the producers and the distributors then the authors & composers andthen the vocalists

    this has nothing to do with publishing money though

  21. black Says:

    publishing money (which is calculated in proportion of the exposure the tracks get) is where the authors and composers are caking

  22. Hi Hater! Says:

    0.5% is a LOT!!!!!

    Diddy is STUPID for paying him, and T-Pain is so childish about the whole shit. Fuck Both Of ‘Em!

    Cant Wait For ‘09: Eminem, Lupe, Jay-Z, 50, Dre (maybe?), Charles Hamilton, Clipse..and more!

  23. Booklyn Stand Up Says:

    diddy went from trendsetter to trend follower, i used to look up to dude! myspace.com/onlyonefatigue

  24. invAZN Says:

    0.5% is a lot for real

  25. anons Says:

    diddy never dies…that nigga is so shameless.

  26. Dee Says:

    ya nigga is dumb…that was a real move by Diddy…

    real niggas do real things…

    Yes we know T-pain didnt invent da damn auto-turn..

    but he made it HOT…i mean EXTRA HOT…..

    NOBODY…and i mean NOBODY was using it like T-pain did…

    Now that he got auto-tunes hot…people are now using it…and not even giving him credit for making it hot..

    DIDDY…did a good thing….instead of using it…and try to be like other peoplr and say…”T-pain didnt influence me…Or i used auto-tunes before”

    Now…its dumb for him to give him money…..he should of just asked…

    but hay thats DIDDY…HE CAN DO SHIT LIKE THAT

  27. a&r FOR DEF JAM Says:

    THERE IS 100 POINTS ON ALBUM, THIS IS HOW EVERY ONE GETS PAID..EACH POINT IS ROUGHLY 7 TO 8 CENTS,

    HALF A POINT IS 3 1/2 TO 4 CENTS

    ….

  28. invAZN Says:

    too bad diddy is such an annoying prick. it’s hard to respect him. but i can’t knock what he’s accomplished.

  29. tonyp Says:

    t-pain is such a little ho for thinking he created autotune

  30. JHEEZ Says:

    dis fat nigga still eatin

  31. NEGRO PLEASE Says:

    great job diddy! if only if you could have went back in time and paid jodeci, mary j blige, shyne, biggie, lox and countless others. not to mention actually promoting anyone other than HIMSELF like DANITY KANE or DAY26. matter of fact, black rob is back in prison for commiting robberies. if he only had “points” off of his music that he CREATED.

    T-PAIN DID NOT MAKE THE AUTO TUNE HOT. HE MADE IT EXTRA GIMMICKY AND THEN EVERYONE SAW THAT IT WAS AN EASY WAY TO EAT. DONT WORRY, WHEN THE NEXT GIMMICK COMES OUT T-PAIN IS DONE.
