In an event you can't say you didn't see coming, T-Pain took to Instagram to take a few shots at Epic Records recording artist, Future. 

T-Pain, who saw worldwide success in the mid-2000s after popularizing the use of auto-tune in records, called Future the "new T-Pain" in not so flattering terms. "Funny thing about that Bugatti you woke up in, its mine. Oh, the irony," Pain left in a message on an Instagram picture that has since been deleted.

"Funny how “the new T-Pain” has to use “The old T-Pain's Bugatti for his Bugatti hook. So there's that. Not at all throwing shots at Ace Hood. That's my man, 100 grand," Pain said in reference to the Future Hendrix rapper's latest hook, "Bugatti."

The Free Band Gang leader has been looked at as the person mainly responsible with bringing back auto-tune after Jay-Z famously dropped his Blueprint 3-single, "Death of Autotune." The Atlanta rapper has saw much success with hit singles like "Turn On The Lights," "Same Damn Time," "Itchin," and "Tony Montana."

"When I first used Auto-Tune, I never used it to sing. I wasn't using it the way T-Pain was. I used it to rap because it makes my voice sound grittier. Now everybody wants to rap in Auto-Tune. Future's not everybody," he told Complex in a recent interview. "The people who are taking my style are like my babies. I've got a tribe of kids that want to be like me."

Prepare yourselves, folks. The first ever all Auto-Tune rap battle might be on the way.

    And here’s another question:
    Auto tune is basically cheating, right? So why is it okay for singers to cheat and use auto tune but if an athlete cheats by uses steroids they get kicked out of sports and a chance at the Hall of Fame?
    It’s all very confusing?

    I downloaded the trial version of auto tune off the antares website, installed it, then had to use authorization wizard, make an ilok account, and then type in a registration code that I don’t know. I need an easier program to install, but does the mostly the same thing.

    How did you feel about auto tune before it became a hot topic? Did you stop listening to any songs after becoming aware that the artist used auto tune in it?

    Im making a song, and since I can’t sing very well, I want to auto tune my voice a litte. I have expierience with video editing but absolutely nothing with auto tuning/mixing.

    I am a young singer that is starting out in composing music and i am looking for a free program that lets you auto-tune your voice and make custom beats. Anything is ok as long as it isn’t from one of those risky sites like media fire or cnet.

    I need to find auto tune freeware that is easy and safe to use. If there’s one where I can just put a video on without chopping the audio off of that would be cool.

    I enjoy a lot of artists who heavily utilize electronic auto-tune in their music as long as they do a good job with it, and it ends up sounding like music at the end of editing.

    What about you guys? Do you like to hear songs that are heavily processed by a computer?

    Both have an option to import VST files! I tried to import the auto tune plug in on three different programs and it won’t import in any! What am I doing wrong?

    I assume something good going to happen. I bet if auto-tune is gone it would be bad for those untalented musicians that rely so much on auto-tune.

    Whitney Houston did not use a auto-tune like all of todays singers.

    I have a PC, and i make my own music. Is there any software out there that can make my voice auto tune?

    I tried answering this in the singing section but nobody wants to answer..

    Also, is it true that if you listen closely and you can actually hear the person breathing while singing, there’s no way they are using auto-tune?

    I have the Antares Auto-Tune plug in and I want it to run on Audacity but it wont. Is there anyway to or should I use a different vocal program, if so which one?

    I have just downloaded Antares Auto-tune and don’t know how it works. It says you’re supposed to use it with some compatible audio applications. What are they.

    The only ones I can think of are:
    Jessie J
    P!NK
    I’m assuming Cher didn’t need it be4 Believe
    I’ve heard people say GaGa has a voice, too. But I’m not sure if she even uses auto-tune.

    Please don’t say “They sound robotic”
    Singers that use auto tune are never off pitch right? So if I look for a note that was off pitch the singer didn’t use auto tune, right? Examples where the a note was off pitch and auto tune wasn’t used? Don’t use Kesha as an example because its obvious ( use people like fleet wood mac)
    Singers like Stevie Nicks I meant to say
    But isn’t listening to a live one kind of hard when most are just lip syncing? And don’t people like Shania Twain use auto tune live?

    I’m planning on getting that, but I’m wondering if it’s compatible with Sonar Home Studio 7?
    Also, do you just install it or is it more than that? What are the steps to make it work?

    So I think that auto-tune is getting slightly old, but I’d like a way to fix minor pitch errors without getting an electronica sound. A link to a product would be great (if you can find one). Thank you!

    Can he sing or does he need auto tune to sound in tune? Is he just a rapper who can’t really sing? I just saw his Heartless video. That’s the first time I saw him sing, but it was obviously using auto tune.

    I dont mean the current voice changer, i mean an auto tune that makes you sound like t pain. I heard someone do it the other day so i know it can be done. does anyone know how to add auto tune??

    I was listening to Party in the USA which I think is a catchy song, and I really like it, but it sounds REALLY auto-tuned. Do you think that artists who have naturally pitch perfect (or as close to it as you can get) voices should get more credit and auto tune should be discouraged?

    I think that would be more fair but to be honest I would rather listen to the auto-tuned version of a song than a really awesome song sung with wrong notes being sung…

    I just purchased the Auto Tune efx software. And for some reason I installed everything except the program itself. I don’t know why it won’t run. It just keeps asking me to restart my computer, over and over again. I have a Vista by the way. Can someone please tell me what’s wrong. Or what I can do to fix it. If anyone can help me I will automatically give them 10 points! Thanks!

    I like to sing as a hobby and I want to know if there is a setting on the computer where I can sing in auto tune. If not what websites are there for me to do that?
    I have a microphone with headphones attached.

    everythingisgonnabefine

    I downloaded the auto-tune trials before i learned how to use them, and i would now like to download them again to try it out. Is there any way i can delete cookies or something that will allow my computer to open up auto-tune without telling me my trial time has run out? I use Fl studio 8 by the way if that helps. Its a VST plug in, too.

    My voice is not like the beebs so i wanna do auto tune. It’s about my ex who cheated on me and the conversation we had when she came home the next morning at 6:15 am.

    Anyways, what do you think of autotune?

    They’re already Rapping, so how long do you think it’ll be before they start using Auto-Tune, Synths, and Drum Machines in Country Music?

    Auto-tune is really hard to figure out. I’ve tried websites and everything! I just can’t figure it out! Does anyone know how to get that little robot sound in your voice like T-Pain?

    Have to argue against auto-tune for a local newspaper in english class.

    Auto-tune, why does it exist? To emphasise the artists ‘angelic’ voice? To bring outstanding, true and raw vocal talent to your homes? Surely you’re intelligent enough to understand that this is simply not the case. The truth is that auto-tune is a revolutionary piece of recording equipment gone horribly wrong. It’s an unfortunate fact of life that auto-tune has rapidly taken over the recording industry, replacing talented musicians with mediocre acts that rely on computer generated noise. What even was its original purpose? Well, it certainly wasn’t created as a short cut for talent.

    Well, is that enough to make you read on?
    woops, sorry, it is a rant!

    I don’t have an Iphone or I-device.

    I do have an android but all the auto tune apps make you record what you say, instead of streaming it live.

    I can also use my computer if doing it on an android doesn’t work.

    I have turtle beach x12′s by the way.
