Members wassoreal Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Have you guys seen this? This new Jay Z track kills it and stomps all over autotune. God, please let it be that no one uses this technique again... http://musformation.com/2009/06/jay-z-kills-autotune-with-new-single-doa-death-of-autotune.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kurfu Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 I really doubt that particular "tune" is going to make any difference in the greater scheme of things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stomias Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Crappy song. {censored}ty wanky guitar. Bad saxophone loops. The whole mix needs autotune or auto-not-suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members samtrips Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hilarious. I know it's anti-autotune, but does EVERYTHING have to be out of tune to make the point? Admirably nuts, but I won't be listening to it again if I can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ermghoti II Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 Where can I buy this "Auto-not-suck"?? It's commonly called "marriage." Very expensive, and widely regarded as not worth the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members D Charles Posted June 8, 2009 Members Share Posted June 8, 2009 That piece of 'not music' just sucked. I think a four year old could come up with better words and anyone on earth could come up with a better backing. How can someone just say the first thing that pops into their mind and people buy it??? I don't get it? :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cry Logic Posted June 8, 2009 Members Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yeah .. not the best rap I've ever heard.... I doubt very much that it will have anyinfluence whatsoever on the rapid rise ofthe "autotune" effect. It's much more likely that the Black Eyed Pea's hit single "BOOM BOOM POW!" which is smothered in "autotune" FX will lead to an avalanche of imitations. "BOOM BOOM POW!" has been Number 1 on the Billboard Top 100 for 9 weeks! 9F444CELomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in another recent post, my parents were making similar comments about John Lennon's "Cold Turkey" and Jimi's "Voodoo Chile" back in '68/'69. Apparently this kind of thing happens with each generation. Somewhere along the way each generation loses the ability to recognize the "new" generation's music as valid in any shape or form. It just sounds like weird noise to the "older" generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had had kids, they would be listening to rap and driving me batsh*t with it I suppose, although, my mom loved Beatles, Doors, even Monkees when I was young. I just go back to the rationalization that if you can play a song on a solo piano and recognize it, it's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Will Chen Posted June 8, 2009 Members Share Posted June 8, 2009 Man, I thought that song was great. Hip Hop/Rap has really lost much of what made it so original and different and this tune definitely draws on the roots of the genre while delivering a clever message and challange to his peers. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cry Logic Posted June 8, 2009 Members Share Posted June 8, 2009 Think about how stupid the average person is. Half of them are stupider than that!-George Carlin Quite possibly true.But they are still people who have likesand dislikes and spend money on things. Enough of them liked Boom Boom Powto send it to the top of the chart and keep itthere for 9 weeks. It follows that they must like the autotuneFX that are plastered all over the song. If you watch the video, the little autotune FX are very cleverly integrated and syncedto the visuals (or is it the other way 'round?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FireWithin Posted June 8, 2009 Members Share Posted June 8, 2009 On the slim chance it's a serious question: It's Jay-Z ... he's sold 26 million "units" and owns the New Jersey Nets.

Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted June 8, 2009 Members Share Posted June 8, 2009 this message just came in... Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies) Interscope The Black Eyed Peas make effective pop/crossover music, but with all the limitations of the form -- vapid lyrics, clumsy delivery, vocals smoothed over by Auto-Tune, and songwriting that constantly strains for (and reaches) the lowest common denominator. Worse yet, they aren't content to be disposable pop stars; they also want to write anthemic, vital songs that speak for a new generation. And so comes The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies). For every hyper-sexualized, by-the-numbers track like the hit single "Boom Boom Pow," there are message songs like "Now Generation," which begins, in cheerleader fashion, with the lines: "We are the now generation! We are the generation now!/This is the now generation! This is the generation now!" Led by will.i.am's production, which is continually the best thing about the album, the Black Eyed Peas move even farther away from hip-hop into the type of blandly inspirational dance-pop that has become ripe for advertising and marketing opportunities.
