Earlier this summer, T-Pain delivered a passionate rant about up-and-coming artists and how he feels that there is no longer any “original shit” in the industry. It comes as no surprise that T-Pain has shared more of his opinion on young stars in the industry and how their current work ethic differs from his generation of hip-hop artists. In a recent Tweet, T-Pain expressed how he really felt about the younger artists looking for “momentary popularity” rather than believing in longevity. He calls it “super disturbing” and urges fans “to think about the future and generational wealth. The veteran hip-hop artist wrote, “It’s bigger than right now. You got a lot of lives in your hands and a generation to start.” While he did not name specific names, T-Pain has recently been known to give advi...

Fan-filmed video footage of PRIEST, the synthwave act featuring former members of the Grammy Award-winning Swedish rock act GHOST, performing this past Friday, November 26 at Hus 7 in Stockholm, Sweden can be seen below.
