T-Pain wanted to make sure that everybody forgot about his history with auto tune and established that he really has pipes. He sang the U.S. National Anthem at the Dodgers-Giants game a couple days ago and he didn’t disappoint. We can hear some hints of Luther Vandross in his delivery and we are not mad at all. He’s releasing his next album Stoicville: The Phoenix this November; Listen to his rendition of the classic below.

Just one day after the trailer release, Lana Del Rey hits us with her 7-minute video for “National Anthem” featuring A$AP Rocky. The odd, but unbelievably beautiful, couple get patriotic for the video filled with lots of love and money. The video, directed by Anthony Mandler, has a real retro feel, but it definitely works. The duo make a dope pair and do a great job of channeling JFK and Jackie O. “Money is the anthem of success,” ain’t that the truth. Peep the video below.
