Artist vs Rappers vs Dick Riders

So I heard a part of this new Jay-Z song "No Auto-Tunes" and I started to think a lot of people are mad Jay is still in the game but you can't be mad at him especially when he's coming with a CREAT and LONG OVERDUE record. Then I also started Þo think why NO New or Up and COMING artist think of this song? Probably because a lot of you artist RAN out and started using AUTO TUNE in your songs trying to MAKE hits. This is just a small EXAMPLE of WHY dude is one of the GREATEST. Creativy and not being SCARED to go against the norm. So look here WHEN the song comes out A MILLION people gonna take the BEAT and redo it preaching their hate for AUTO-TUNE. A bunch of DICK RIDeRS is what yall ARE! This is what clearly set some ARTIST apart from just RAPPERs. GET CREATIVE and goooo against the norm! This couldve BEEN your HIT record.

SO I READ ALL THE COMMENTS AND MY ENTIRE POINT WAS NOT TO SAY JAY SHOULD RETIRE BUT MY POINT WAS THAT ONE OF YOU UP AND COMING ARTIST COULDVE BEEN BRAVE ENOUGH AND CREATIVE ENOUGH TO DO A SONG LIKE IT AND NOT LET SOME 40 YEAR RAPPER THINK OF IT FIRST. OH AND WATCH AFTER THE SONG COMES OUT WATCH HOW MANY SONGS DONT HAVE AUTO TUNE.  TPAIN WILL PROBABLY STILL DO IT BUT NEW CATS..... NEGATIVE WHAT JAY SAYS GOES TO YOU NO BRAIN YIGGERS

I haven't heard the track yet, but I wonder how many Biggie rhymes came out of his fat lips! LOL!

Joe Camel needs to retire... and get a shapeup!

Bro...I don't think Jay is good example of NOT following trends. This is coming from a Jay fan btw. Jay followed as many trends as he set. And the only reason I think he didnt use Auto-Tune is because of how Kanye over did it. But look over his career and all his phases were based off of someone else. Not as blatant biting a la Jermaine Dupri but obvious nonetheless.

Judah I agree, I personally dont like auto-tune an Im on one song with it and not at my request either. I could do with never hearing ti again Ive only heard a few songs with it that I can play more than once that being lil wayne doing it on that hook for game and one song swizz beats used it on a hook for Saigon. Usually when it comes on especially with DMV artist I dont listen to the song cause you have to strain to understand it like llyod banks voice. If its an artist u already know is talented u may atleast listen like i do for don juan but its losing its luster or rather has lost it. But yeah people are affraid to go against the grain. Nobody has the own opion anymore.

Torkaveli Jay is still amazing compare his worse album in your opinion to the best album of any of these newcomers in the last 5 yrs

All it takes a majority co-sign and everyone does it. Because they want to be accepted. Don't matter if its Jay or whomever. If whoever is popular like that at the time and somehow sets the standard what's "hot" at the time and etc., fools run with it. Not looking at creativity and longevity. Nothing wrong with keeping up with the times. I just think fools should know the difference between keeping up with the times and following trends.

Torkaveli if you know rap then you know he paying homage with Biggie lines it was stupid for Nas to say and even stupider for you to say it & Jay don't need to retire he need to come back out and save the game from all this flooded trash with the exception of a few upcoming artist.

i hate auto tune the shit is wack anytime niggaz come through here to record and ask for that shit im like go to someone else for that cuz that shit is wack and i aint doing it....i wish jay would go back to reasonable doubt jay best album ever in my opinion then the first blueprint. but now he just sucks in my opinion. he still got my respect though.

MR TROUTMAN.. RIP

I think Judah's larger point is correct. Whether Jay was an appropriate example or not is debatable, but what is certain is artist, especially in the DMV, trying to do what's on the radio, instead of doing what's true to them as an artist. It waters down the music and it stifles creativity.

ben frank pir said...

i aint never tryed to use that geekin ass shit thats not the sound of the dmv or should i say dm cause i dont know shit about v.a. lol!!!!

ADK of Money For Life said...

This is not the first anti auto tune song. This is the first one to get noticed though. Alot of old school hip hoppers hate all the new software, auto tune, fruity loops, etc. Deal with it or get out the game. Its a new day and auto tune is here to stay. lol.

Auto-tune is dope to me, you gotta use it properly and sparingly....so Jay ain't using auto-tune, big whoop....the plug in is for singers, not rappers

Anonymous said...

are y'all serious? Jay needs to retire? On his bad day, he'll still rap circles round niggaz..

"bye bye..my reply..blah blah..shot's burning and pass the burna to Ta-Ta"

y'all niggaz lunchin..his wackest album,Kingdom Come is still 100 times better than most of these niggaz albums wit all they punk ass guest appearances..

KT said...

honestly, i can care less! For every trend that comes out, there will be someone who makes a song opposing it. Its not like im gonna like a song just because it has autotune on it. The song still has to be a good song...and nowadays good songs are judge on the popularity of the track. I've always had mixed opinions on it. I got songs where i use it, i got more where i dont...theres no need to over do it. Like they say, everything not for everybody but trends are just marketing props anyway in the industry. It will pass just as all of the other trends do and tomorrow it will be something else that eevryone is doing. Its no different from a rapper using the newest news alert as a punchline (i.e. judah pointing out how many rappers would mention the swine flu, lol) To each is own. I bet if jigga was able to hold a note he would have been all over it....(I PUT ON remix he used it, but only when he said "I PUT OOONNNNNN"). It still wont make u a hot artist...i quick gimic, maybe....but still, u either have it or ya dont!

......that is all.

i mean...it's been well-known that i have a deep-seeded dislike (i won't say hatred...that's a waste of energy) for autotune. difference is...when me or another up-and-coming artist says it, we're pegged a "hater" and when Jay does it, he's pegged as "trendsetting". but it's also well-known that with the rap game comes the "status" game, so i'm not mad at it all. if quality music becomes the new "in" thing again, i'm ALL for it. let's get hip-hop back where it needs to be. remember when you could give an honest opinion on wack shit and the first word you thought of wasn't "hate"? niggaz need tougher skin so we can get back good music, period. if a nigga's wack...he's wack. if he's dope, he's dope. the feedback used to be a strong factor in hip-hop. the fans decided shit was hot without bias or fear of being called haters and the artists would listen and step it up. perfect example...Nore in the late 90s. wack album dropped. new CNN album, N.O.R.E. addressed it on "Invincible".

"i can't believe i fucked up and made a wack-ass album/my excuse is my pops just died/and i ain't wanna make music, shit, my pops just died"

Artists back then could at least handle the criticism. Let's get back to that. If it's blatant hate, fuck it, let it blow in the wind. If it's criticism...heed it and step it up. That's the only way to be better artists.

Peace & Hip-Hop

I Think autotune is great. amd it has the ability to make people who cant sing sound like they can

autotune is cool

I have an autotuned song on my album and ive have been getting paid to do autotuned hooks...lol

and anyone who hates it....thats ok too!

to each his own

Redhead said...

I genuinely sing off key on purpose on my records because I want to show the artists that I'm having fun on the records. I was raised off the worst singing hooks alive in hiphop ala Biz Markie "Just A Friend"....so I'm gonna rock it for the benefit of music since it's a part of me as a person, haha.

i said...

i use it on all my funny shit when i be off my singing. but thats when i jus rock songs off my comedy shit.

like this type of shit

U used that shit and you thought it sounded LOVELY on ur vocals didnt it? i just hate when niggaz try to fake like autotune aint the shit but used it for whatever reason...dont matter why. Even tho too many niggaz using it and half over them are horrible wit it

"i hit if from the back....i gave that ass a smack" lol (downloadin now)

Ness said...

Myspace.com/lilblueness....jay-z is the most consistent rapper of all time and hes been in the game for like 15 years now heavy so...to say he used another line or didnt go hard on one verse is like saying jordan had a bad game..either way autotune is done lyricism is where the gimmic needs to be.....ghost*

i said...

i never spoke bad on autoune kt tell tae ima have that beat 2him whenever i get in contact wit the 3rd party

_this is being sent from the island cafe...yall need 2 b here...

DJ Torkaveli said...

Letting a hasbeen overrated rapper make you stop using something in response to a song is more of a "follower" move than anything else.

I'm not surprised at Jigga hating the use of technology, that's what old people do lol

J-Sparks said...

I don't know about calling jay a has been tho...still the most infulential rapper out there hands down. I've never used auto tune, i'm not against it at all, i think it just depends on how u use it, just like any other plugins or instrumentation.

Hassani Kwess said...

Jay-Z is ill and the autotuner is fun =]. Just a double-edged sword sometimes maybe.

Hi MOM!

FreshxDesign said...

only an established artist could've made the song. if a dude like wale did it or someone just getting on they'd be labeled a hater and dismissed. but yea using autotune to get on is wack.
