Cosign #8.

And Just so you all know, Roger and Teddy Riley are known only in the R&B/Hip-Hop/Urban scene of things. THEY actually bit off of Peter Frampton who attached it to his guitar and used it. I’m sure some of you have seen his Geico commercial using it. But he mastered it in the 70’s. Go google or Wikipedia it if you wanna….

Get it right Roger does not use a vocoder! Teddy Riley of Guy….. rocked the vocoder! Roger was the king of the “TALKBOX” and it is nothing like what t pain uses! All these new guy’s are using “AutoTune” which anybody can do and I mean anybody! But with a talkbox or even a true vocoder it takes serious skills to MASTER!!!! Just sharing the facts!

Roher used the technology that was available at his time. T-pain is just using the latest version.

Nigel its cool that you put this classic up here but why did you have to call out T-Pain, right after ur post about him not being able to say who and who can use auto tune.

Its obvious T-Pains people denied you from an interview or some shit.
