Wtf He Never Heard The Song Y Care

I think he’s talking about the fact that a lot of artists use it to correct their pitch even though they may not overdue it to purposely distress their voice like T-Pain. A lot of people use it but it just isn’t noticeable and it isn’t just the hip hop community, anything that requires singing it can be used. But Jay was talking about the distress of auto-tune and i think that for the most part it will die off except a few people that sound better with it and can use it right.

People need to realize that autotune will never die- it came out decades before tpain. From pop, to techno, r&b, reggae, reggaton and even compa(creole. I doubt autotune will ever die

hahahahahaha, the first dude to stand up to Jay is a 64 y/o white guy!!!

like he said the AutoTune is here to stay…
it was here before a lot of these “singers”…
and it’s gonna be here long afterwards.

Jay’s got a lot of nerve thinkin he’s gonna kill the auto-tune single handedly.

when i said i think it wont last forever,
i was talking about in hip hop,
where a lot of rappers are using it.
i think it will eventually die out

AutoTune is a fad, I have a prediction though…AutoTune and those faggot ass skinny jeans will go out together.

autotune to me is mad annoying— except like t pain and akon who are “orginal” with it.. but jay-z sayin death of autotune means absolutely nothin.. jay-z does not run hip hop— and im pretty sure no one cares what he says about it.. if they make a hot song or its gonna make them money they are usin it.. jay-z aint puttin money in everyone elses pockets.. so in my opinion jay-z is a little hyped off himself..

“Hildebrand put the software on the market in 1997 and says that within two years, 90% of the music industry was utilizing it.

It was even featured on early 2Pac and Blackstreet records, however it wasn’t until Akon released Trouble in 2004 that misused Auto-Tune revolutionized R&B."

so it was somehow used on early pac records when the software didnt even hit the market until a year after he died…..this site has way too many dumb motherfuckers writing for it….

the device used on the pac records, was a motherfucking vocoder…look it up, you ignorant ignorant people

Are you fucking retarded? 2pac’s music stopped being released and post-produced after his death? Reading comprehension is a bitch.

People are retarded. Only people that disagree with Jay are fags that use the shit wrong or Jay haters. When he says “Death of Autotune” he doesn’t mean it is no longer going to exist. Jay meant that it needs to stop being used wrong in hip-hop. People are only doing it because its cool now. It’s a decent tool if used properly however, people like Wayne overdo the shit and make it sound absolutely RETARDED!

Is it that hard to understand what he meant by this song? If you don’t get it, go listen to those simple ass rappers, thats the only music you will ever understand the meaning behind. I swear, some people should not be able to voice their opinions just because their opinions are completely retarded…

Look at all the retards sayin shit like “Who the fuck is he to say its dead?” Get out of here with that retarded nonsense…

I agree with the point of the song, but you can’t do what Jay-Z did and back-pedal and say it’s ok as long as only your friends like Kanye do it. That’s like the CIA importing mad drugs into this country and then putting people in jail for selling them or doing the same thing.

Auto-tune is for people with no talent to try and make something that vocally sounds pleasing to the ear. How else do you think old-ass Cher got play on the radio and in the club scene in the late 90s?

We’ve seen this before, the Jay-Z formula: jump on the next trend as soon as it begins to gain popularity, act like the spokesman for it and then hate on it the minute you hear dissidence from the public to sound like a leader. I would respect Jay if he hated auto-tune from the beginning or if he just flat out said it was lame without the exceptions of the people he supports. I swear he sounds like a true Republican, maybe the song he did with Nas was truthful.

I’M NOT SAYING HE HASN’T PUT OUT GOOD MUSIC IN HIS CAREER, but lately he’s been reduced to just a trend-jumper that pretends to have an independent view of things. In reality Jay would dress up like a woman if that was the new trend making the most money in hip-hop business, you just have to respect him for what he is which is an excellent marketer and business man.

As for the song, the first verse is dope (“This will offend my political connects”). The rest is just modern Jay, rambling and making little sense with maybe one or two nice rhymes to save face. Throw a few ad-libs saying “Hova” or something about his money and businesses and you have another turd that the sheeple eat right up. Until it gets lame after a month and he has to come out with a new record to conform the the newest trend that he will later speak out against. WHAT A LIVING LEGEND!

People need to start listening with an objective ear instead of liking the music for who raps on it, then maybe the radio would have something that I could listen to. Just cause Jay, 50, Beyonce, Kanye, Wayne, or any other household name comes out with a song doesn’t mean that it’s good music. If it was good music it wouldn’t have to be played two or three times every hour to catch on like most of Jay-Z’s music. If people knew anything about psychology and the fact that the more familiar something is to us then the more we like it, we’d have better music and more of a variety on the airwaves instead of the same 10 fuckin songs over and over and over and over and over. This is why record companies pay radio stations for so many spins per week, so they can exploit this clinically researched phenomenon. But whatever, this site is called Defsounds so Jay probably owns this site too. I’m pretty much talkin to a wall with this point of view.

^ Good points. Best part of that dudes statement:


“Hildebrand says Auto-Tune will keep swinging because today’s singers just can’t hit the notes anymore.” Aint that the truth?

yeah except that auto tune was around before jay z…

that jay z song wasnt powerful enuff to stop auto tunes he should have made fun of it on the track by rapping in it with a few bars then he should have spit some bars after it with out it showing everybody just how dumb it sounded, but thats not really his stlye that somthing slim shady would do

I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds it hilarious he put that gargoyle in his gravi.

Now to this article.

“62-year-old Hildebrand, a former Exxon executive who developed his pitch correction software while working on an oil rig and testing underwater echoes for the presence of oil.”

Anyone else catch that? Jeez I bet dude has more money than Jay.

and after a quick search Andy is reportedly worth 2.2 billion dollars. That’s crazy.

$2.2billion???!!!
fuck me sidewayz (no homo)
i though he was some old washed up fogie

Just think… of the top 100 economic entities in the world (countries & corporations) 51 of those are corporations and 49 are countries (as of 2000). Exxon brings the heat at #26 and being a former exec. means you got that island buying money.

exactaly…autotune covers up lack of talent

but people use autotune as a crutch. people in hip-hop and rap use autotune as a gimmick. T-Pain can sing without it. It has been heard.

autotune is mainly for rappers who don have the r&b vocals so they use that shit to sound good for the radio and the ladies

Then why did it take Jigga man so long to voice his opinion?? He shoulda dropped that record after week one of that shit taking over the radio. Just as everyone starts saying enough is enough he FINALLY speaks up. God knows if all the fans were still jockin it he wouldnt of opened his mouth. Shit seems bandwagon to me.

jesus, ur not serious
doo flinky you created another account???

exactly

akon is goat

so is ur mom booblinky

goat for suckin dick and raisin tht ass.

faggot lol. ask bout me

dude i don’t listen too it unless it’s t-pain
weezy, or kanye
aight mr. bitchassness
i ain’t that much of a hater
i just tried to give jay props
i think sometimes auto tune is aight but it’s used toooo many times
and that’s on some fake shit
