T-Pain - War Pigs (Official Lyric Video)

[@GrnArrow092]

Ozzy went on Twitter (X) to say that this was the best cover of the song that he's ever heard. When you win high praise from the original artist that sung the song, you know you've hit a home run.

[@bold810]

When a hawt but homeless chick tells you she's never, NEVER came that hardy, and you and her are afterglowing in an abandoned shopping cart, man-!

[@TimarIuveo]

He said it about the live version, not this one.

[@melonballer8475]

Ozzy said the same thing about Brownout's version. I think Brownout's version blows this out of the water. I know everyone has their own taste and opinion. My opinion is that this is a little disappointing and kind of weird. I kind of can't believe this is Ozzy-approved. If you haven't heard of Brownout and love Black Sabbath, you should check them out. I think all they do is cover Sabbath. "Snowblind" is PHENOMENAL. I almost like it better than the original.

Bold of any of us to assume that T-Pain was only gonna be rapping- Legit had us jamming to _Bartender_ and that song barley has any lyrics. T-Pain is on that Snoop Dogg time… brother can do whatever the fuck he wants.

[@bambamlover]

That is exactly why he went on the masked singer. He wanted to prove there was more to him than auto tune. He's got my respect 🙌

[@cricfanusa3501]

How has the world ignored the “gospel chops” potential in this song until now? It’s so obvious after hearing this rendition. Love it.

[@chrisgonz19]

Because people in the 70s were too focused on it being "loud and satanic". Black Sabbath are all devout christians, and their music carries a lot of biblical references

[@viiimusic9913]

The world knows the "gospel chops" quite well already. It's been obvious after listening to the original the first time. Black Sabbath were well known and well respected musically. It's just that it's so long ago now that the kids are just finding out about it. Check out Charles Bradley's cover of Changes from Vol.4

[@austinquinnk1]

I remember seeing T Pain performing on the tiny desk concert. And being utterly shocked at his voice. It made me question who decided to auto tune his voice. So glad he's letting it shine through. Just pre ordered the vinyl. I hope nothing but the best for him. Please don't let this be the last time you do something like this.

[@pooki903]

He did. He discovered AutoTune and fucked around with it and liked the strange way it made his voice sound. He actually said he cried when he first heard the effect on his singing.

[@JFU245]

He is one of the first ones back then to utilize auto tune. A lot of rappers were mad at him, but then went and did the same thing as him. With no credit. He deserve his flowers. If not for him, people like the rapper future wouldn’t be here. The industry did him wrong.

[@jasonmoyer]

He was using it as an effect, and not for pitch correction.

[@godwarrior3403]

A lot of people don't understand if you hear autotune, it's a stylistic choice. It was never because an artist couldn't sing.

[@godwarrior3403]

BTW the vocals just started for me, there's tons of vocal effect on this track. Not his raw voice in any way.

At the end of the day, Sabbath is just heavy blues. As long as you can bring the blues, you can kill it. And man he killed it.

[@MathasiaJ]

To be fair, all metal and rock is pretty heavily based on the structure created with blues music. I definitely agree that if you can bring blues you can kill sabbath, but you can expand that to most rock and metal bands

How the lyrics still stand today. All he really did was just show us that government has stagnated which most of us younger metal heads already figured out by just looking around. T-Pain did a killer job but don’t take away the absolute fact of the original song never being obsolete in its message.

[@hopelessstrlstfan181]

Such a perfect fit & so unexpected, but as someone before me pointed out in the above comments, in retrospect, it seems obvious that in Ozzy's original vocal line, there was potential for a Gospel singer's embellishments. However, as far as I know, no one thought of it until T-Pain. The entire band made this arrangement perfect, but of course, it is the vocals that made it so amazing. As a Black Sabbath fan from my days in high school back in the 1980's, I salute you, sir. Music seems to be the one arena where people of all backgrounds can still find common ground in our ever increasingly divided world. Go all people of Good Will!!!!!!!

I appreciate the art of music and not everyone can put the art and feelings into there music especially doing covers. Most people try to hard or don’t try enough because it’s already a good song so they think there’s is going to be to. So they try to match the original as much as possible and even if it sounds decent I don’t like most peoples covers because they don’t put their own personality, heart, and emotions/ feelings in when doing the cover. So I really love when I do hear a cover of a song when the person put them into it even if the person doesn’t have a great or even good singer voice. As long as people can tell they are passionate about what they are singing, putting the right amount of emotion in and in the right spots people will not care how the voice sound. And I think this cover is amazing the voice sound amazing and it is just perfect for this song. This is probably one of my favorite covers. It definitely goes in my top 5 favorite covers.
