Its a trend! While I can not recall the first time I heard a track with autotune, I know that by the time I noticed a song with its sound it was already everywhere. Most of the songs were your club bangers. Certified hits that made any party jump. I definately have enjoyed my share of hits. I never gave a second thought to any artist utilizing the autotune. I don't think its a form of selling out. However Jay-Z sees it as a menace, so much so that he thinks it needs to be put to death. It seems to me that this is just a sorry excuse to start some ish in the hip hop community. Didn't this dude just end a beef not too long ago?! With the release of the Blueprint 3, Mr. Z may just be trying to attach some hype to his 2nd post retirement album. I have listened to the song many times and I just don't get what's so good about it. He shouts some people out who have been known to use autotune in the majority of their hits, but at the same time calls for the end of their careers. Jay Z may be a little out of his element when it comes to this one. He has stuck to the formula that got him where he is without giving in to current trends. Very few artist have this privilege. Especially those that build their careers on the rhymes of other, ahem, deceased rappers.I think its just plain obnoxious to call people out for utilizing a tool to help them gain their own fame and notoriety. If he is that pretentious and seeks to end others peoples careers to make himself look good, then he needs to put himself in a category of industry lame.
