The song once again showcased T-Pain's Auto-tune free vocals and is more of a pop song than a hip-hop cut. -
T-Pain Sings 'I'm Sprung' with No Auto-Tune for Larry King, Reveals He's Working with Luke Bryan [WATCH]
T-Pain proved last month that just because he uses Auto-Tune for so many of his hit songs, it does not mean he has poor vocals. The "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" rapper recently sat down with Larry King for an episode of "Larry King Now" to talk about his career and beyond. King's production crew did not let T-Pain leave without a performance, though, so the artist sang "I'm Sprung" from his debut album "Rappa Ternt Sanga," sans Auto-Tune. He did not disappoint, either. He also revealed sometime later that he is working with country star Luke Bryan.T-Pain gave his 2005 hit single a brief R&B makeover for King and the crew after the interview.

T-Pain Proves He Can Sing Without Auto-Tune In New NPR Tiny Desk Concert Performance [WATCH]
T-Pain ruled the charts in the mid-2000s. His use of Auto-Tune, which gave his voice a futuristic, robotic sound, made his songs instantly recognizable and gave way to a trend that spanned pop, R&B, and hip-hop. He wasn't the first person to use the software — he originally got the idea to brand himself with auto-tune after noticing it on a Jennifer Lopez remix — but he became the face of the style and was considered an innovator.
