We appreciate it. How. How do you like Wisconsin? You like Milwaukee?
Mr. Torturer
I haven't been around it a lot. I've only been. I've only been to, like, four buildings.
Unknown Guest
If you can rate those four buildings.
T-Pain
You'Re actually going to a different part this time.
Mr. Torturer
Well, one of them was the. Was the. One of them was the. The People Eater Hotel. So that was. That was pretty cool.
Unknown Guest
What do they call the People Eater?
Mr. Torturer
So that was the first building I ever, like, stayed at at all. So that was. That was pretty cool. Actually stayed two rooms down from where the. Where the stuff happened, so that was pretty cool. I don't know if they, like.
T-Pain
Did you put your, like, ear on the door and to see.
Unknown Guest
I don't.
Mr. Torturer
I don't want to get haunted crazy like that. You know what I mean? But, no, it was actually. It was pretty cool. So there's obviously, you know, the Rave Eagles Club and stuff like that. And we went to. We had to go to City hall to, like, get permits and stuff.
T-Pain
Yeah. Because I know you guys are doing the race in the. The car show in Elkhart Lake. Yeah, we got some Road America.
Unknown Guest
We got some ties in Oakheart Lake.
Mr. Torturer
Yeah.
T-Pain
We went to school out there. Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
Oh, shut up.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
Oh, no.
Unknown Guest
That's why we were so shocked. Like, what you doing out there?
Mr. Torturer
I mean, we didn't, like. We wasn't trying to go out there. You know, we were trying to. We were trying to, you know, do our thing with the Millwalk Mild. And they were like, look, you know, we don't want. We don't.
T-Pain
Yeah, we get it.
Mr. Torturer
We don't want the gangs. We don't want that. We don't want the violence. Like, we. We've been holding this event for four years in a row. We haven't had that. So how come now that we go to your venue, that it's going to be that. So. Yeah, nobody could explain it. It's totally fine. We found another venue. Road America. Like, you, you, you, y' all. You already know, man.
Unknown Guest
Let me tell you something about Elkhart Lake that's unique.
T-Pain
On.
Unknown Guest
On the 4th of July, one dude goes out into the middle of Elkhart Lake with a bunch of fireworks and pop fireworks, and the whole town watched the dude.
Mr. Torturer
One dude?
T-Pain
Yes, one dude.
Unknown Guest
He rolled out there by his jack. He worked.
Mr. Torturer
I used to be that guy. And I used to be that guy in my. And where I live now. But then I also, you know, not to sound like a piece of, but I live in a. I live in a pretty rich area. And we all. They started making like a bulletin board of who's spinning the most at the fireworks place. Oh. So the first year that it. That they started recording it, one person spent like three grand on fireworks. It sounds like a lot. It's not until you figure out like, one of the grands is like a Boys to men finale. Firework. You don't know. You don't know until you. And then you see it and you're like, that's what that was. And then you're like, all right, I'mma spend five grand. And then. Then everybody in the area starts.
T-Pain
So it's a competition who can spend the most money?
Mr. Torturer
It's. It's just who can have the better show.
Unknown Guest
Right.
Mr. Torturer
Because if you spend the most money and your show was whack, you know.
Unknown Guest
Like, you know, the boys to man.
Mr. Torturer
Fireworks, it was not good.
T-Pain
There might be more pressure on you to have the better light show, though.
Mr. Torturer
If I start basing all my fireworks off of R B artists, then yeah, I'm doing that. But all white fireworks. I don't know. I don't want my. My fireworks to be based off of 90s R. So.
Unknown Guest
So earlier we was talking about the. The thing that we did when we were broke that we shouldn't have done.
Mr. Torturer
Oh.
Unknown Guest
So mine was because I. Because I obviously I recently heard like, your journey. So I was like, oh, let me. Before I ask him that, let me make sure I have, like, my story.
Mr. Torturer
So I would love to hear your shouldn't have done it.
Unknown Guest
Okay. My shouldn't have done it was.
Mr. Torturer
I know this is going to involve condoms.
Unknown Guest
Oh, yeah.
Mr. Torturer
Okay.
Unknown Guest
Always involved for some reason. So mine was like, I knew how much I made a month. It was like I was working like a small job after college. I was making 2,200amonth in college.
Mr. Torturer
You kept up with your finances?
Unknown Guest
Yeah, a little bit. We. We could talk about some loans that, you know, they might be looking at me now like, yeah, where that money?
Mr. Torturer
Okay, I got you rent a center, Blockbuster. There's a lot going on.
Unknown Guest
You're not that TV stand back. Good TV stand. But so I knew I made $2,200 and a month. I had a car. I had a car a month. I had a car.
Mr. Torturer
This grew up in the 60s.
T-Pain
Yeah, that's a lot of money in college.
Mr. Torturer
Hey, you had $2,200 a month.
Unknown Guest
But I had a thousand dollar car note.
Mr. Torturer
Okay.
Unknown Guest
But no, listen, listen. I had it down perfect with groceries, Cardinal rent, that I had $75 left at the end every month. And I was pretty disciplined. Like nothing could possibly happen to me. My school was like on campus. Like, you know, we didn't have to leave the campus. They had everything. And then I randomly was in a restaurant picking up my little daily wings that I get, you know, budgeting and something like that.
Mr. Torturer
By restaurant you mean publix? Yeah.
Unknown Guest
And a woman came up to me and was just like, hey, you want to get a bite to eat? And that was my first time ever seeing $75 go super fast.
Mr. Torturer
So a woman walked up to you and was like, you want to spend the rest of that money?
Unknown Guest
Yeah, yeah.
Mr. Torturer
And you was like, yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Guest
It's like being at the strip Club with 301s. They. They own you.
T-Pain
I've actually walked into club strip Club with 301s and left with 301s.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, I did too.
Mr. Torturer
That's what I'm just. Yeah, yeah. This is what I'm just saying. So you can't say it's like walking in there with 301.
T-Pain
Cause you still gotta make a decision when you're there.
Mr. Torturer
It's all about. It's all about the decision. Decisions you make. You can, it's. It, it don't matter how much money you have. It's about the decisions you make with that. With that money.
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
And you can, you can do so many different things. So you had $75. And one person was like, you want to spend that? And you were like, yes.
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
Now, now. What went into the other decisions that was like, yeah, I'll. I'll spend the $75. Leg was.
Unknown Guest
It was, it was a 12. It wasn't the end of the month. I had no alert system. You know, you get to the end of the month.
Mr. Torturer
But here, but here's what I'm saying. You knew what was coming. You knew everything was paid. You knew exactly how much money you had left. And he was like, this will last me for however long. And you were still like, nope.
T-Pain
And where'd you go for the restaurant?
Unknown Guest
Huh?
T-Pain
Where'd you go for the restaurant? Because I know where we live. Where are you at school at. There's not that many expensive place. 75 for a meal. For two.
Unknown Guest
Drinking at that chili. So did it.
Mr. Torturer
Okay, okay. Did it result in anything?
Unknown Guest
Huh?
Mr. Torturer
Huh? Yeah.
Unknown Guest
Yeah. I end up dating a girl. So it ended up being like, okay, but you.
Mr. Torturer
She spent the rest of your 75.
Unknown Guest
We spent her money for the rest of the month.
Mr. Torturer
See the crazy thing, see the crazy thing about me, like, when I first, like started making music, I wasn't doing anything like huge. But my wife, now my girlfriend then she was sending me her checks. She was sending me her check. So if I, like when my power cut off, like, my power was always off. My dad never paid our bills. Everything, like, my power was always off. So my wife now would, when she was in the Air Force, she would get her check, she would buy her a few snacks, and then she would send me the rest of her check to keep my studio on so I can rent out my studio and get more money to pay the light bill, which would then be late again. And then she would have. It's just the cycle. The cycle was crazy. But she would always believe that something would come out of her giving me the rest of her check.
Unknown Guest
She believed in you from the get go.
Mr. Torturer
I'm not sure of that. I could have been. I'm not sure if she believed in actual music or I was slanging amazing dick.
T-Pain
Do you think crazy, like looking back at it, obviously it's like your first, you know, the first time in the, in the studio, like, do you listen back to your old stuff?
Mr. Torturer
So this was, so this was my studio. This was my studio in my bedroom. Got it in my dad's house. So the only reason I would, the only way I could make music at all. So the only reason, the only way I can make music at all is if my power was on, which it was never. So the only reason, the only way I could get my power back on is if she would send me her check. So it wasn't. So I did go back and listen to like a lot of the old stuff and 100, I would not find not one thing, not one cent of that. God damn, I'm trash.
T-Pain
You know, like, for some artists, like, when did you get that belief then in yourself that you okay, I can actually do this? Like, it's obviously your first couple songs might have not been the greatest, looking back at it.
Mr. Torturer
So the thing was, it wasn't the greatest to me. Yeah, I, I knew it was the greatest. It wasn't the greatest to anybody, but it wasn't the greatest to me. I wanted it to be better, but I knew it was better than what I heard on Got It Right.
Unknown Guest
That's your motivation, you know what I'm saying?
Mr. Torturer
So that was my motivation to where it was like, I Know I'm doing something right. And me and my brother. Me and my older brother used to get into fights all the time. My dad. And I used to go to my dad, like, rashid's making fun of me because I'm singing a song the way I think it should go. Like, when we hear songs on the radio, I would sing it a different way. And he was like, you don't even know the song. And I'm like, I know the song, but I'm telling you how I think it should sound. And this is me at like 8 years old. You know what I'm saying? So when we get past all that and my dad is like, maybe we should. We should probably look into this.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
And he looked into it and he was just like, okay, kids like this are doing this. And then one day, an army commercial came on. An army commercial came on, and I harmonized with the army commercial in the room with my dad, and he was like, how'd you know how to do that? I was just like, that's just. I just thought. I thought that's how songs are supposed to sound. He was like, all right, cool. I'm. We going to the store tomorrow, buy you some equipment. We're gonna figure out what's going on with this. We're gonna figure this out.
Unknown Guest
How old were you?
Mr. Torturer
This was. I was 10.
T-Pain
Oh, damn.
Unknown Guest
This real Joe Jackson type stuff.
Mr. Torturer
My mom didn't with it. My mom was like, stop spending money on this. So my dad. My dad spent the money on me. We went, you know, we went into a. It's called music exchange. It was like, you know, people that brought in their music equipment that was trying to like, sell it to, you know, get like. Like co sign stuff, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, so, you know, he bought like some. Some secondhand stuff and. And, you know, it turned out that I was actually kind of good at this. So, you know.
T-Pain
Yeah. Do you realize that you had a whole generation, especially my generation, singing into fans to sound like you? Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
Yeah. One, because I was one of the people singing fans. Yeah. I was singing into fans and I was like, how do I make this sound? How do I get this? And I went on a two year journey. It took me two years to find auto tunnel.
T-Pain
Oh, wow.
Mr. Torturer
Two years. Everybody else knew I got in the game in 2005. Auto tune was invented in 1997. And I didn't know what it was called. So I was. I was on my computer looking for anything that could be like vox or vocal or vocal. Change or vocal, something. It was. I was just looking for anything. It took me two years to find Auto tune. And the second I found it, it was like I just lift up in there. Yes, I found it because it was after the dark child remix of. Of the Jennifer Lopez song if you have my love. And it's funny. And then that one part. That one part had Auto tune on it. It was just that one part. And I was like, oh, how do I sound like that?
Unknown Guest
Oh, so you was looking into music in a totally different way than everybody else.
Mr. Torturer
No, this was on one of them. One of them CDs. I don't know if it how old you niggas are, but this is on one of them CDs. It was like one of them now. Like, now that's what I call music type shit. But it was one of them, like the commercials used to play all the time, and it was just song after song after song. But when that one came on, I was like, man, I wonder what that would sound like with a whole song. And I never got to find out until two years later where I actually found that sound. And I was like, oh, it's over.
Unknown Guest
I want to thank you for two things that you helped me with in middle school and high school. 1. 1, the I'm sprung song playing, playing in the background when I call a girl for the first time was so fire to me. That's what I used to play.
Mr. Torturer
Ah, Sprung. How you made your voicemail. Yeah, the answer machine. Answer machine is outsprung.
T-Pain
Oh, you wear the ringtone there.
Unknown Guest
And then it was. Then the second one, there was a song that I used to sing that nobody knew that was yours, but I used to pretend was mine.
Mr. Torturer
Okay, well, this is. Okay, this is interesting. Let's dive into this, okay?
Unknown Guest
And I got away with it for so long because I had a CD of yours.
Mr. Torturer
Okay.
Unknown Guest
And it go. They make me feel so joyous.
Mr. Torturer
Keep going. You went deep. Crap. Oh, my God. You were singing that song with nothing to sing it about. You didn't turn the song into something about ass. That was about my kids. Really? That's what I was about, my kids. You didn't turn into. You didn't got off the song. That's crazy. No, but that. You know what? And that was one of the songs that took me a while to do. It didn't take me a while to do, but it. It took a while to get accepted from, like, my team, my managers and everything like that. And it was like, you sure you want to do a song with no auto tune. That's kind of your sound. And I was like, it's about my kids, man. This ain't about, like, the sound. I, I would, I, I'd rather sound terrible on a song about my kids than try to make a song sound perfect and fake about something I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was such a, it was such a pivot for me that people didn't pay attention to it. And I was kind of, I was kind of okay with that. I was kind of okay because it wasn't. I wasn't the best at my voice at the time. So I was like, thank God nobody actually heard it. But I did want to get it out of my system. And it reached my kids and my kids know the song and they listen to it still. To this day, my kids still listen to that song. And also. Glad you got some pussy off of it.
Unknown Guest
I call it my Mariana Rivera. It was my closer. I don't know if we should be doing this. They make me feel so joyous.
Mr. Torturer
That's about titties. That's about titties. That's about titties.
T-Pain

Mr. Torturer
Come on.
T-Pain
So I saw you recently tweet about because Lil Wayne dropped an album, and it's probably not being the most received while on Twitter.
Mr. Torturer
It is not the most recent.
T-Pain
And I saw you talking about how this makes you not want to kind of like drop new music.
Mr. Torturer
It's not even that, man. But it wasn't Wayne's album that made me think that I. First of all, Wayne was rapping his ass off on that entire album. Wayne went crazy on that whole thing. Obviously there was a. A mishap or a misstep on, you know, picking the production and stuff like that, but, you know, once you get into a comfortable state and your engineers start making beats and he's like, yo, I got beats. And you're like, oh, yeah, why are we looking?
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
You know what I mean? Like, why would we look anywhere else? Absolutely. Load that up. Let me rap. Wayne gonna rap regardless. It don't matter what it is. Wayne can rap on a bunch of frogs croaking and it'll still be amazing.
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
You know what I'm saying? So the fact that he got comfortable, you know, with the music that he was presented with because it was available to him right then. And you know, he used, like, he used AI on the intro and stuff like that. And you know, Wayne being Wayne, like, Wayne don't look outside of where he is.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
So it's like, like when you use AI, he don't know how much that's going to be frowned upon and stuff like that or what, you know, what the stigma is on AI right now. So when you look at it from Wayne's perspective. This is a great album.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
You know what I mean? But when you look at it from people that's been waiting on Wayne, it's a different perspective because Wayne's heard everything that he's done. Now, keep in mind, I talked to Wayne's manager yesterday, and he's like, Wayne had 60 other records, I bet 60 other records to pick from. He's like, look, that's. That's the palette that Wayne wanted to lay. We put it out. Maybe not here's the thing, but here's what I'm saying. If everybody feels like Wayne was rapping his ass off and he just needed better beats, I told them, let other producers do it.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Mr. Torturer
Let other producers do it.
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
There's no harm in putting Wayne acapellas out. Remember when that'd be fire? What? Jay Z? What? Jay Z. There was a Jay Z album that put out all the instrumentals, right. And he just let people rap on. It's like, you feel like you could do better than Jay on this.
Unknown Guest
Only that's what I feel like it was more of because Wayne seems like the type to be like, there's not many people that can rap on this beat, so I'm gonna make a record and put out it on this beat.
Mr. Torturer
He was showing acrobatics, I think showing acrobatics. And not a lot of people can keep up with that.
Unknown Guest
But that's how you got. I feel like that's how he became one of the greatest of all time.
Mr. Torturer
Correct.
Unknown Guest
Is rapping differently than anybody else, trying.
Mr. Torturer
To beat people to the punch. But now the formula to everybody winning right now is to do the same thing as everybody else.
Unknown Guest
That's true.
Mr. Torturer
You can't. You can't venture off. No, you can't venture off. But, you know, again, those beats were available to him at the time. And shout out. To shout out to his engineer, because it was an engineer that produced a lot of those things. And when you get that close niche relationship. Cool. Like, that's, you know, hey, what you got on your computer before I go looking outside of the studio?
Unknown Guest
Right? Yes, very true.
Mr. Torturer
You know what I'm saying? Like, you're always going to do that and you're not going to go off of. Well, this beat outside of us is better than this. You're going to go with whatever the best is right here. What you presented me with. You know what I'm saying? And that may not be the best decision because you're in a bubble, but Wayne is Wayne Wayne gonna rap his ass off. Wayne is still one of the best rappers of all time, and there were just some decisions that were made that.
T-Pain
I think also it was the. The title of the album as well. It being a Carter. I think it.
Mr. Torturer
A Carter.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
It's so much pressure.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
They called me for it. They called me for it. They called me for the Carter. And when they were like, hey, hey, we're about to drop the Carter. Can you provide us something? Absolutely not. No. Yeah, I will not do that.
Unknown Guest
Okay. My question for you is because I want to say you were probably the most rumored person I've ever seen in so many joint albums. T. Pain doing a joint album with him. T. Pain doing a joint album with Barack Obama.
T-Pain
That was kind of fire, though.
Unknown Guest
Obama.
Mr. Torturer
Fellow Americans. T Pain's about to.
T-Pain
He just do the intro.
Mr. Torturer
Hot. All over your faces. Maybe, you know, maybe all over your grandma, you know, I'll take this time to say T. Pain maybe the best. So many people try to copy. Not so many have succeeded and suck my balls.
Unknown Guest
In this day and age. So there's so many samples coming out. Like, there's so many, like, songs being revamped into more drill songs. Like, you'll see. Would you let someone.
Mr. Torturer
I have let.
Unknown Guest
You have let someone argue.
Mr. Torturer
Have they not done well? Jesus Christ. Exactly. Yeah.
T-Pain
I was like, which one?
Mr. Torturer
You answered your own question. I've let people sample my songs. I've let people do their things. But, you know, once. Once Tory Lanez did the Jerry Sprunger, everybody was like, oh, T. Pain letting people sample the chat. Let's do it. And then it's just back to back to back to back. And I'm like, all right. You go, nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Unknown Guest
And then that bar was set way too high.
Mr. Torturer
But it was like.
Unknown Guest
But it was crazy.
Mr. Torturer
But the thing was, I didn't do anything. Like, I didn't charge anybody anything. You know, I didn't charge. I didn't charge Tori for. For Jerry's bunger.
T-Pain
Oh, damn.
Mr. Torturer
I didn't. I don't charge people for, like. Like, using something that's already making me money. Why would I. I'm already making the money.
Unknown Guest
Right?
Mr. Torturer
You know what I'm saying? Like, so it. It's not a. It's not a priority for me. Oh. This person said, like, even Fabio. Fabio was on some. Let me. Let me get. Go ahead. Go ahead. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Unknown Guest
That the bar was way too high, though. That the first song that I'm sprung was probably, like, one of. It's a signature song. For you. And then, like, for you also to do, like, be on the remix and then still be firing.
Mr. Torturer
That's the thing I don't fuck with.
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
If you sample it, do your thing. You want me to be a part of it. Okay. Now it's different. Yeah.
T-Pain
That's when it's not free anymore.
Mr. Torturer
Do you think Run with it. Great song. I sample stuff all the time. Fantastic. Who hasn't taken the drums from the front of. You don't have to call us. Your shit. Like, everybody got Pharrell drums. He left it open, bro. Absolutely. To take that. But you want me to be a part of it now. Now it's not for anymore.
T-Pain
So do you have any plans on a new album?
Mr. Torturer
I don't want to.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
I don't want to. The thing. The. You know what's crazy? That this whole segue is. Is crazy. Because I've said that I don't want to do the album sequence anymore. Because anytime when we release singles.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
Get it. Here you go. Single. You Bam, bam, bam. Single. Totally fine.
Unknown Guest
Somebody just dropped to their knees hearing you say album.
Mr. Torturer
I gotta go to New York. I gotta go to la. I gotta talk to big boy. I gotta talk to. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So it's gotta. It's this whole. The album sequence of releasing an album. I don't. With that anymore. I don't feel like convincing people that my album is good.
T-Pain
Right.
Mr. Torturer
You gotta do this whole run. You know what I'm saying? Like, the. The crowds and like, you gotta go. You gotta talk, talk. You gotta talk to everybody to convince. And it's not like an organic thing that's like, yeah, I want to talk to these. It's like I need to go on there and tell people that my album is good. Yeah.
T-Pain
And then I think it's judged differently too, on the Internet because, you know, like, you'll have people like academics maybe say, sold 20, 20 units, and everybody's.
Unknown Guest
Gonna say, flop, flop, flop.
Mr. Torturer
To put all this work in for months on hand and then have somebody judge everything you've done in a year in one day, in a Friday. It's crazy. Crazy to have everybody say, yeah, all that you did didn't do as much as this other person. So you. You suck. Your album sucks because not enough people bought your. In a week.
T-Pain
I feel it.
Mr. Torturer
Damn. And then if nobody buys her shit in a week, then you get nominated for some shit, and then you get to sit in a whole room of your 40,000 square foot room of all your peers that do the same thing. And all of them people say, nope, your shit suck, bro. All my friends think it too. It's not just because when you. When you hear from the outside, you're like, y' all don't know music. I know music. I'm a musician. This is what we do. Boom, boom, boom. And then other musicians are like, no, no, no, no. That's a sucked. We didn't. We didn't like it either. And it's just like, damn, why y' all didn't nominate me for this? No, we didn't. No, we didn't like it either. We're. We're musicians as well, and we didn't like it either.
Unknown Guest
I feel like, damn, I know you don't want to do it. I feel like you would do super well, because it's just.
Mr. Torturer
It's the process of trying to convince people that it'll do well.
Unknown Guest
I got you.
Mr. Torturer
You know what I'm saying? To go to all these different radio stations. You got to go to a radio station in Wichita to tell people, hey, please. Please listen to this thing I've been working on for two years. Like, n. Not going through all that. I'll drop. Like, okay, I would. Now, I'm not saying that I'm gonna stop making music, but album. The album process is not my favorite anymore. I will drop singles. I will drop albums. I'm not gonna promote it. I'm not gonna sit here and try to convince you. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you where to go get it. Yeah, but I'm not doing the process.
Unknown Guest
Of showing up at the Breakfast Club.
Mr. Torturer
Come on, bro. I'm not done. Me and Charlemagne and had our quarrels already. We done did our things already. And. And we have respect for each other now. We know that. We respect the game, but we know that it's not worth it.
Unknown Guest
Right.
Mr. Torturer
You know what I'm saying? The. The. The. Like I said on my post, the energy that is put into being the first meme about an album is not worth the energy it takes to make a dope album.
T-Pain
Yeah, Right.
Mr. Torturer
It's not. It's just not worth it. We've done years and years and years of this work, and then your album could be shut down by one meme, and it's just. That's just what it is. And I'm not willing. I'm not willing to put my mental health at risk for that. I'm at such a great place, bro. My. My team is great over Here we having Wisconsin Fest. You know what I'm saying? The dummies are here. My. My wife, my baby mama, and my girlfriend get along. We are okay. Like, we are okay. I'm actually in a good place. I don't want to. Goddamn. I don't want to. I don't want to.
Unknown Guest
You did mention us, though.
Mr. Torturer
I don't want to get out of that. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm in a good place, and I don't want anything to jeopardize that. And the second that you put the power in the public's hands, you jeopardize all of that shit.
Unknown Guest
That's why I used to feel bad for Roddy Ric. She went, like, live on Twitter one day, like, playing some music, and, like, the fans literally just got in there just to troll them.
Mr. Torturer
That's what it is, though. Like, the way. The way my algorithm. I don't even know why my algorithm is like this. I think I watched, like, two videos on fucking YouTube, but now when I go to my homepage on YouTube, it's just, like, the rise and fall of such.
T-Pain
Yeah. Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
How this person lost all his fans in one day. What the hell happened since this person. Yeah, like. Like, I don't want to be one of them videos. The thing. The one thing I learned from Drake, and here's the crazy thing. One thing I learned from Drake, but one thing. He hasn't followed his own words. Drake said, I want to be one of them people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out.
T-Pain
Out.
Mr. Torturer
Yeah, I. I have. I have ever since said thank you. I appreciate y' all. I'll see y' all. I'll see y' all when I drop. Don't worry about it. I'll just drop something.
T-Pain
Let me.
Mr. Torturer
Let me know if you heard it. Drake is like, no, listen. Okay, I got another one. Hold.
T-Pain
Check this out.
Mr. Torturer
Check this out. Y' all didn't like that one? Okay, real quick, just one more. Let me try one more. And then he's the person that he said, you know, he didn't want to be. And I learned that from him. Like, when he said that I want to gracefully bow out and not get kicked out, I was like, you know what? I'm out.
T-Pain
This is just live shows now.
Mr. Torturer
I'm out. This. I'm not trying to impress y' all. Y' all don't give a if I live or die. Why the would I keep trying to impress y' all? Nigga, I'm out. I'm done. I did Everything that I was trying to do, I changed the game. I made a sound. What else? What else?
Unknown Guest
You literally can't. You. It's only. Even if you make a hit today, it won't even.
Mr. Torturer
It's just normal. Yes, it's just normal. It's like. Yeah, that's. Okay.
T-Pain

Orange vanilla vortex of the good game.
Mr. Torturer
You know what? Y' all can have that one. So here's the thing. Here's the thing. We don't want people to do because it's so good people to do a whole energy drinks and then come back for another. Another one, like, immediately. And then you run into that Starbucks when they did that energized lemonade, and everybody just kept getting them. It was like my heart exploded. Don't do that. Do half.

Mr. Torturer
You can. You. You hit it with that. Hit it with half of that. That. And you got it. That wasn't half.

T-Pain
Have you. Have you been sh. Have you been ashamed for this before?
Mr. Torturer

Unknown Guest
It ain't that hard to hide though.
Mr. Torturer
No, no, it is, it is. We gotta have some situation. We gotta have situations going on because, you know, we gotta, we gotta have time, I think, you know, time heals all wounds and feels all wounds, you know what I'm saying? So I, I understand what you're saying, and it just takes a little bit of, you know, it just takes a little bit of time. We at least got to walk in the room with a half a job going on.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mr. Torturer
We can't do, we can't just, we can't just whip out. See, the thing is the people that can whip out, the people that can whip out. It's just the same presentation the whole time.

What's my hiding technique is I like I said, I tease them, you know, they try to touch me. I don't know, touch me, like, get off me. You know, maybe not, maybe not that. Maybe, maybe not that far. But, you know, I play it off, you know, it's. It's one of those times. It's one of those situations, you know, you kind of just go as you go. So if she's a little hotter than you, you can't really dial it back because you know, you got, you got to push forward. Well, no, if she, if she's better than, than usual. No, no, no. I'm not saying I'm gonna be on. She's. Okay, let's just put this in layman terms. She's hornier than you at the end of the night and you like, I gotta get at least, like, I gotta get a havoc going on. Oh, you know what I'm saying? If she horny as she start reaching now, what do you, you know what I'm saying? What's your technique at that point? There is no half child. If she's if she's, you know, look at. It's all in the Uber on the way home.

Mr. Torturer
Hello.
T-Pain
Welcome to Crash Enemies Podcast.
Mr. Torturer
What's up?
T-Pain
What up? What up?
Mr. Torturer
I love you so much. I love you so much. I'm.
T-Pain
I'm bringing the positive vibes because the last time you guys called me, y'.
Mr. Torturer
All was talking about, somebody need a snicker. Oh, yeah, that's. God damn it.
Unknown Guest
She had a little. Can you. Okay, we got a special guest. Can you tell who it is by his voice? He's about to say something.
Mr. Torturer
Hey, baby.
T-Pain
All right, I got a question for you. What's your. What's your biggest hot take? There's no reason for a man to be wearing ankle socks.
Mr. Torturer
Okay, all right, we gotta calm down. Okay. All right, check this out, Check this out, check this out. Now, I will say this. There is. There is one thing. I don't want to interrupt you, but I'm a man, so I have to. Okay? Now, specifically, my wife does not like seeing socks. She hates Everything that YG has ever worn in his life. My wife does not like seeing socks. I. I can't wear socks above my shoes or if I got, like, shorts on, if I got pants on, we're good. But here's the thing. When I.
T-Pain
So you're wearing shorts with ankle socks.
Mr. Torturer
I didn't know. So the only reason. The only reason I have to is because when I'm doing and when I'm performing, my socks go under my foot. And that is the worst feeling of all time. Now, when you shuffling when you're doing, your socks sometimes go under your foot. If your socks are ill, fit, fitting. But I'm telling you, if you can see socks above shoes, it's totally fine because it might be a reason and don't want to get the gout just from performance. So. But why now? What is your now? Why. Why do you see men not wearing ankle socks?
T-Pain
That looks so goofy.
Mr. Torturer
I'm not the only person. There's no way I. You know what? Sorry.
T-Pain
Because your ankles is probably always showing, but you probably got some shits on right now.
Mr. Torturer
Actually. I did.
T-Pain
I did good, right? Are. Oh, they are.
Mr. Torturer
You got. You got them. Can nobody see my angles right now? I'm covert in this. I'm covert in this. Hell no. There's no reason.

Like, I don't.
Mr. Torturer
It's like a big ass sometimes. I don't.
T-Pain
What, so what about, like. No. What about. No. No show socks?
Mr. Torturer
Yeah, I was just about to say that.
T-Pain
No show socks with your twinkle toe ass.
Mr. Torturer
Why the. You have no. Okay. I don't know if you know. I don't know if you notice. When. When were you born? What year were you born?

Unknown Guest
Not even roll the bottom. I used to pull it all the way to the ankle and then take.
Mr. Torturer
Fold them. You fold them under your feet?
T-Pain
Fold it under your foot.
Mr. Torturer
Yeah, we didn't have. We didn't have these privileges. Can you imagine a bra where you have to fold the top of it down to fit your titties? Could you imagine that? Like, could you imagine, like, we had. We had to make sacrifices. Girl. You wouldn't have that problem if you wasn't out here borrowing socks.
Unknown Guest
Sounds like it's not.
Mr. Torturer
No, we. They just literally. They literally made one side. No, they literally made one size for everybody. We didn't have the privileges. We didn't have those privileges. Of having different. Different size that. That. That 6 to 12 and 12 to 18. That just happened in the early 2000s. That just started happening. Used to buy one sock and used to have to make that sock whatever size you wanted to by folding it under your foot.
Unknown Guest
Yes.
Mr. Torturer
There's nothing else you can do. We didn't have the privilege of having different size shits.
T-Pain
Yeah.
Mr. Torturer
Shaq didn't start playing. We didn't have that. And I understand that. You just don't. You. You wouldn't remember that because you didn't have to go through that.

Look up when different side socks, like, really start coming into play and start. Of course you don't want to. Of course you didn't want to. But we had to. We had to. They didn't make different size size socks for us when we was going to Walmart.
Unknown Guest

Mr. Torturer
All right.
T-Pain
All right. What's your biggest hot take?
Unknown Guest
So my biggest hot take here is.
Mr. Torturer
Celebrity shouldn't exist.
T-Pain
Celebrities shouldn't exist.
Mr. Torturer
No, no. I actually. With. With this. I actually. With this. I'm not gonna lie to you. I actually. With this.
T-Pain
What's your reason?
Mr. Torturer
Too many people. There's a normal guys. Too many people out here caring what they do, like, commenting on IG posts, trying to see who was what, like, doing what.
Unknown Guest
Do you, like, hold your breath when you talk?
Mr. Torturer
He does. He does. He's taking a piss right this second. So check this out. So. So basically. So basically what I. The reason I. I With this is because it's like there's so many people better than. That's famous. Yeah, that's just normal, like, wild. While Mike wasn't practicing, there was somebody becoming better, right? Just. That couldn't get recognition because they don't have the resources. They don't have the. The, you know, the. The eyes on them and like, that. I always think this at the same time. And I. Because I used to be around a bunch of celebrities in. In like, before I became one, and I was always like, man, wow. People like this around these people, right? Like, because I used to have a camera on me all the time and I used to film these people. It was like a little JVC little. Little high eight. You know what I'm saying? Like, tape camera. And I used to have the camera on these people all the time, and they Just normal people. And I'm like, man. But when they got around other people, I was like, something's. This is weird. What the. Like, why is it such a difference on the sides of the camera? When you put a camera in between people, the people behind it are fine, but the people in front of it are not. You know what I'm saying? And it's just, I always thought like, this shouldn't. This is weird. This should not be possible. This should not be possible. The people that came up with me that were singing the same way as me and I around and got in camera before the them somehow people go crazier over me than they do other people I came up with. But it's just because I was in front of the camera and not behind it.
Unknown Guest
Right.
Mr. Torturer
And it's just like I never understood that. So I kind of. With this thing. Celebrity shouldn't exist is a. That's a top one. But I don't. I don't. The thing is, I don't know why they do. Yeah, that's the only thing.
T-Pain
I feel it.
Unknown Guest
That's true. But like, like this dude, like, you got some talent or something.
T-Pain

Unknown Guest

That's a real thing. That don't mean that it's ran through. That don't mean nothing. You got to take chances in life, man, to eat that sometimes, you know, you got to. I don't know. I don't know.

[02:24] Unknown Guest: "What's good chat?"
[02:28] T-Pain: "Yo, we are here at the rave with Mr. Hold on. We're gonna let him get his coffee in real quick."
T-Pain delves into his early experiences with music production, highlighting the challenges and breakthroughs that shaped his signature sound.
[14:11] T-Pain: "I went on a two-year journey. It took me two years to find Auto-Tune. And the second I found it, it was like I just lifted up in there."
He recounts how discovering Auto-Tune was a pivotal moment, influencing his musical style and contributing to his distinctive vocal effects.
[15:09] T-Pain: "I didn’t know what it was called. So I was looking for anything that could be like vox or vocal change or something. I was just looking for anything."

[25:43] T-Pain: "What's your biggest hot take?"
[25:20] Mr. Torturer: "I have let people sample my songs. But once Tory Lanez did the 'Jerry Sprunger,' everybody was like, 'Oh, T-Pain letting people sample the chat. Let's do it.' And then it's just back to back, back to back."
T-Pain emphasizes the importance of maintaining the quality and integrity of his music when it comes to collaborations and samples.
T-Pain expresses his evolving perspective on album releases versus single drops, critiquing the traditional album promotion process.
[27:02] Mr. Torturer: "I don't want to. The thing is, the album process is not my favorite anymore. I will drop singles."
[29:22] Unknown Guest: "I know you don't want to do it. I feel like you would do super well, because it's just..."
[30:18] Mr. Torturer: "The album sequence of releasing an album. I don't. I don't. I will drop singles. I'm not gonna promote it."
He highlights the mental and emotional toll that traditional album promotions can take, opting instead for a more streamlined approach with singles.
The hosts critique Lil Wayne's recent album, discussing production decisions and the use of AI in music creation.
[20:15] Mr. Torturer: "Lil Wayne can rap on a bunch of frogs croaking and it'll still be amazing."
[21:22] Mr. Torturer: "Lil Wayne is still one of the best rappers of all time, and there were just some decisions that were made that..."
[23:57] T-Pain: "I think also it was the title of the album as well. It being a Carter."
The conversation explores how production choices and title selections impact the reception of an album, using Lil Wayne's "Carter" series as a reference point.
T-Pain and the hosts delve into the concept of celebrity culture, debating its necessity and the effects it has on both artists and the public.
[53:22] Mr. Torturer: "Celebrity shouldn't exist. There’s so many people better than that’s famous."
[55:23] Mr. Torturer: "I was always like, man, wow. People like this around these people... This shouldn't not be possible."
T-Pain reflects on the artificial elevation of certain individuals within the entertainment industry, questioning the underlying mechanisms that grant them fame.
In the latter half of the episode, the hosts engage with listeners, sharing humorous and candid "hot takes" on various topics.
[44:40] Mr. Torturer: "It's like a big ass sometimes. I don't."
[45:00] T-Pain: "Can you guess who our special guest is by his voice?"
[53:20] Mr. Torturer: "Celebrity shouldn't exist. Too many people... commenting on IG posts..."
