Jay-Z speaks on his latest, “D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune)”:
“I’m not saying that Auto-Tune is wack. What I’m saying is someone does that. You know T-Pain he did it, he writes great melodies, fantastic, Wayne did it and Kanye. You know leave that for them. Not everybody. Like we all gonna make one type of record. Like that’s how you stagnate hip-hop, that’s how people get turned off. You listen to the radio and every single record has Auto-Tune. That’s corny, that’s wack.”
I agree 100%…like I said in a post earlier today, I can’t tell who I’m listening to on the radio anymore in light of the sudden influx of auto-tune users. Dream, Ron Browz, Webstar, hell I don’t know…could they start announcing themselves??? At least when I hear Ether Boy at the beginning of a song I know it’s Ron Browz about to pop champagne or jump out another window…
