T-Pain: If Aaliyah Were Alive, Everybody Would Say She’s Copying Beyoncé

T-Pain might require more advance notice when he has to speak in public about Aaliyah, whose voice he recently sampled for his own track.
In a recent interview, he addressed his critics who said they didn’t want to hear auto tune next to Aaliyah’s voice in his song. He had some thoughts on why she’s so revered now.
People tend to–I don’t know man– I’m not trying to discredit Aaliyah in any kind of way. But you know how sometimes when people die–yeah. You know how somebody’s an a$$hole their whole life, but when you go to their funeral it’s like ‘This guy was the greatest man that ever walked…’ No, I’m just sayin’! No, I’m not saying Aaliyah. But it’s like because she passed, nobody is deserving of being next to her. Nobody’s good enough. Nobody is good enough because she passed. If she was still alive, then everybody would’ve been like, ‘Oh! She’s tryna be Beyoncé!’ If she were still alive right now. But now that she’s passed, it’s like ‘Nobody could be her! Nobody could be her!’ That’s just how I feel. That’s how it goes. And that’s how people are, man. People look for shyt to talk about.
Being that the guy is a famous, he may have just be saying that the spotlight is harsh and people are cruel to people with a pulse. But as soon as he started the sentence, “I’m not trying to discredit Aaliyah, BUT,” we got the gist.
People love to compare Aaliyah to Beyoncé, but by claiming to know how the public would receive her now that Bey is top of the pops, he just trivializes Aaliyah, and she deserves better. What’s more, “everybody,” probably wouldn’t say that. See his comments below. It went over well.
