im a hip-hop head thats a lyrics fiend, i know jay isnt 100% original but when he said “This ain’t a number one record This is practically assault with a deadly weapon” i was like OOOOOOOOOOOO, originality is missing in the game these days and its time for the veterans to step up and take us back to where it belongs, like it was in the golden age, when lyrics were abundant and there was no soulja boy or getting silly, but there was electric relaxation and T.R.O.Y., and Lupe, keep doing your thing, a bright light in the darkness for hip hop

this song is soooooooooooo raw. Man! I can’t wait til the album come out. I got to cop that. Hew right everybody trying to use auto-tunes instead of going on the talent they got (If they got any). Music had started becoming boring cuz everything sounded the same. Only Jay-Z could have spoken up about it and people agree. Anyone else would have been told to shut up cuz they didn’t think to use it.

Jay is clever. All I could do is smile when I first heard it. I loved the joint so much I couldn’t help but take Jay’s lyrics and do the whole song using AutoTune! He left it wide open. LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi10E_sm4Lg

Even T-Pain uses auto-tune as a joke now (watch the live action Aqua Teen Hunger Force or “I’m on a Boat” by Lonely Island) just like South Park did, when it mocked Kanye. It’s good to see someone within the hip-hop community put down auto-tune, because it lends more credit to the anti auto-tune group.

Now I could be wrong….but isn’t this the same method used by Zapp and Roger back in the day? More Bounce (a timeless classic) seems riddled with it.

yo first off he ain’t calling out anyone. read up fools. he got the idea for the song after seeing a wendy’s comercial. they were using autotone in the comercial. he’s also saying be orig with your shyt. just cause tp makes it sound good don’t mean it’s for everyone. especially when you got comercials trying to copy off it. go back to just rappin. read up fools cause he ain’t dissing anyone. he already came out and stated that.

Autotune should have and never was to be used for all in hip-hop/rap. T-Pain had it to an art, OK fine. Weezy is an idiot for using it on all his raps, and it is clear he is lost in the game. The only thing he says “I have sold X million records:” KRS1 said it best: “For the mill I don’t run.” That’s not what hip-hop is about.

Jay is back killing em. The Blueprint 3 will be one of the best rap albums out this year. Period.

Autotune is wack, hang it up!

The President of Hip-Hop has given his State of the Union Address. I see everyone tuned in. If you were getting tired of rappers singing Auto-Tune Songs and forgetting to rap, then please STAND UP!!

Thank you Jay! Kanye is about the only person who has done an all auto-tune album that I’m feeling. He used it as a tool, to make an album that has always been in his head, that otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to accomplish.

T Pain just flat out can’t sing.

And take it from me, an audio engineer, it’s way beyond time that we get people with actual talent back in the studios.

Now can we stop falling back on this busted ass gimmick.

[...] Derudover har vi fået en garanti for at pladen ikke bliver et auto-tune-helvede, tværtimod er det en anti-auto-tune-thing. Det bekræftes af den fr-fr-friske nye singlez som du kan høre via Commons hiphopside. [...]

Co-signed. I’m a pro audio engineer and I agree…Auto Tune should freaking DIE. We use a different approach to tuning vocals at our studio, and it works for us.

AT only covers up the fact that nowadays peeps can’t SING!! Some may have hope with a few vocal lessons, but others just have to get a clue. They need to find another line of work.

Big ups to Com, always! Much love my brother.

peace love light

its deeper than copying t pain – i mean they are all posers anyway and wont be remembered – the real issue with autotune is people like Britany Spears use it to correct their pitch, not add TPain effects – and thats why the indie/alternative scene is against autotune – it can make anyone sing in key – and is cheating – i did a track the other day at my boys studio with autotune and i sounded as dope as eminem rapping – because autotune pitch corrected it all – so its not about that annoying vocoder effect – its about using autotune to sing when you arent a singer

J has done it again. I have been talking about this for the last 6 months. I am glad that someone with J’s stature in the industry has spoken out. I agree with KRS 1, it was cool for T-Pain and props to him, but everyone should have left it alone! Big ups to J!

One of the dopest tracks this year. Jigga @ his best with the rhymes and the third Outkastmember really puts it down with the production.

Kanye listen up.

I think DJ Quik should be given a pass to use it because he actually recorded with Roger Troutman as well as T-Pain. But the Pop Champagne dude give it up. It’s funny Common, after I heard D.O.A. this morning the next 4 tracks I heard used auto-tune I’m glad Jay spoke up. Can the fans get you and Kweli on that track that sh*t is bananas big up to No I.D.

ALSO, let me just say I remember meeting you in evergreen plaza @ the journey’s right next to foot locker, when Take it E.Z. dropped. It has definitely been a proud moment for me to see how far you’ve come in music. Well done.

Such a strong song!! What do you think of the whole autotune movement? You want it to die? I like what KRS1 basically said: that it’s cool that T-Pain made the sound popular and bigups to him, but that doesn’t mean the whole industry needs to follow. The less autotune the better

Track is sick, and will definitely get attention by the artists he is calling out. My boy was saying today if another person dropped this same track, like you, Mos Def, etc, they would be told they were hating.
