In the video for "Karaoke," the latest single of his upcoming Thr33 Rings album, T-Pain takes on the people who picked up the auto-tuner after he made it huge—he calls out Akon, talks down Kanye in a bathroom stall (Kanye says, “I couldn’t recognize you without the auto-tuner.” T-Pain responds, “That’s funny, I didn’t recognize you without the auto-tuner.”), and actually raps without the auto-tuner. I’m not sure I like Pain without the robot voice—it made up for the lack of good raps and masked his average flow. But it’s a pretty good conceit—responding to the auto-tuner trend he started by doing a track without an auto-tuner.   

DJ Khaled is on the track too, and that’s what makes this clip NSFW—he shouts the F-word about 46 times in his 25 seconds on the track. Overall, the clip is one of the funnier music videos I’ve seen in a long while.

Thr33 Rings is due out on November 11 via Jive. [Nahright]
