Twit of the Day
T-Pain responded to critics via Twitter, saying he was asked by Quincy Jones and the late Michael Jackson to remake the 1983 classic ‘P.Y.T. for Quincy Jones’ tribute album Q: Soul Bossa Nostra. Criticism of T-Pain’s reinterpretation of Jackson’s song began pouring in soon after the song was posted online. Many listeners complained T-Pain ruined the Jackson classic. In return, T-Pain took to Twitter to defend himself.
“For all the ppl that hate mr for ruining pyt just stop listening to my shit. But if Quincy Jones tell you he want you to do something no matter how much shot you know ur gonna get from the dumb asses in the world, you god damn do it.â€
“I had the pleasure of meeting MJ and when I left his house I got a call from his lawyer telling mr that MJ wanted me to remake that song,†he continues. “So everybody that’s being overly disrespectful, you don’t have to like me at all, but you also can keep that bullshit to yourself.”
