To Rockstar: I’m 21 and I hate auto tune! I think its beyond retarded.. Maybe– & I stretch my maybeee — if artists such as Ron Browz were to use it only once and a while, & not on every track they have to make it sound exactly the same and VERY CORNY at that.. then maybe auto tune would be ok.. just maybe. But for now, Jay has a great point and artists need to seriously get back to the hip hop/rap game with some original/their own voice shit! It is ridiculous how they think they can make an entire album with auto tune.. that shit does not come from any type of talent whatsoever. Overall, JAY CAN RELATE. Age ain’t nothing but a number.

who the fuck is ron brown? the nerve of this clown. auto tune was good when t-pain first was doing it, then Kanye fucked it up and OD with an whole entire album…then jamie foxx with the blame on the alcohol record…you add that with the tight jean wearing and is like ENOUGH!!!..I know plenty of my friends who are literally listening to like 90s hip hop…like the shit on the radio is garbage…like dudes is not even working hard…to create records let’s keep it funky and get back to creating records and not this garbage.

jay-z has a point…enough with the auto tune as a fan of the music…is getting tiring. Jay-Z is doing a Nas…Hip Hop is dead..hahaha mad niggas of flocking thinking Hov is hating just like mad idiots thought Nas was hating on the south when in reality he was right..hip hop was dead..hehe.

DJ Werbstar, Ron Brown etc…ur done. Hov has spoken.

personally for an artist they have to be different and stick out from the crowd, good thing t-pain was the main dude using it, made him stick out, now EVERYONE doing it, it makes the whole thing wack, for all them artists they just need to come up with something different that makes them stick out compared to the next guy

I doubt he would have gotten the award nomination without Auto-Tune but congrats anyway if you even care about a BET award.

Auto-Tune will just fade out sooner than later. It’s just a fad that people are into.

You can’t build a lasting career on something that anyone can do and sound good on. It’s not talent.

Auto-Tune = HGH

i got no problem wit what ron browz said and his answer put himself in a good position for the future so that the billions of jayz fans wont shit on him for talkin crazy like dj webstar.
and nobody can say its a generation gap or old vs young, THE STREETS ARE SAYIN AUTOTUNE IS WACK, actually jayz kinda just was the biggest and maybe only rapper to say what the streets are saying. its crazy all these rappers claim to be in the streets yet they act like jayz is the first person to sayin autotune is overdone. if they really in the streets they woulda heard the streets, young and old been hatin on autotune for atleast the last year

June 8th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
in all honesty hov took advantage of the times, rap historians are most likely gonna say he “officially” ended autotune, when the shit is practically at its last lin with or without him. DOA is a great song though, hot beat, lyrics was good could be better more vicious, i liked that great depression line, no feature. ever since i cud remember i use to always hate buying an album with tons of features. probly thats why i didnt like that dynasty album. i remember the weekend i bought it, so fuckin long ago lol i actually wanted the one with big pimpin on it but they told me he had a new cd out already. anyway…

-ahh… chill… just ave to put more thought into it… *bad words*

-thats fuckin amazin… but a promise? thats up to you…
um.. Says:
June 8th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
he took the higher (smarter) road than dj webster. LOL. just lets be real. ron isn’t “playing with it”. he’s using it on EVERY SINGLE RECORD HE MAKES. LOL. it’s the only reason i know who he is. if he stopped using it he would fade back into obscurity

Lol@ Brooklyn ..That Was So Stupid , It Was Funny …But, I Dunno Why People Keep Naming R&b Singers That Use it ..Jay Was Talkin About Rappers That Use Auto-tune ..He’s Sayin Lets Get Back To Real Hiphop And Kill That Auto-tune Shit ..T-pain Is a Singer ..Jamie Foxx Is a Singer …Ron Browz Is a ..Umm ? ..Producer ? .. Shit I Dunno What He Calls Himself But i Know He’s Not a Singer …And Hating Auto-tune Ain’t Got Shit to Do With Age ..

Skullz Says:
June 8th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
I agree with #26. Jay is taking advantage of the times. atuotune is well on its way out the door, he just was smart enough to capitalize on it. hip hop does need someone to counter the flow of autotune garbage coming out. Now every wack ass dude out there think they can sing and rap because of autotune and its embarrassing.

I mean of course RonBrowz would have a problem with Jay’s DOA… of course.

June 8th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
yall dumb fools talking about the streets saying autotune is wack? if so that means wayne would be done..and he’s not..as long as autotune is puttig money on ppls table..they not going to stop using it..this is a business first…an art second…if yall wanna start getting rid of trash..start with these crooked ass labels and record execs..not autotune..
Storm90057 Says:
June 8th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Very few record companies will invest in that bullshit now… its not about what Ron B feels.. Jay has influence on hip hop culture and when he made DOA you will see that its business and he gonna hit a lot of pockets

aye im 28 and i love autotune tracks…maybee its cuz i love zapp and roger songs like computer love,mo bounce 2 the ounce and california love….but i think that sh!t is funky…imo… jumping out the window was my sh!t of 08 along with lil waynes verse from lost with zoe….and kanyes whole album was crack 2 me….of course when it gets played out its played out…but i still see life in autotune its futuristic..and were moving in the future….on the flipside…i dig jay 4 just starting up some mess and hyping everybody up ..hip hop needs the debate moreso than it needs the death of autotune smell me?

Only an idiot would think using autotune is the same as sampling. Hip Hop has used samples since day one. And as far as the “generation gap” argument, alotta these cats usin it is around 30 if not older so lets be real.

smh @ these clowns getting offended because they know their only ticket to fame is by using auto tune that basically covers up their lack of talent by making it sound good.

Whats worse T-pain buyin a 410,000 chain; or Jay stoppin dudes money flow?

C0-sign passion of dave! Auto tune was already fadin!!!
Likeabite Says:
June 8th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Jay-Z’s opinion counts because he retired, came back and now wants attention? Opinions are like reproductive organs…everyone has them so stop the nonsense…all of ours are on the same field so let him do him…and for the record Browz is definitely right about the fact that he makes records for the clubs…they’re for a different feel than what Jay goes for so there’s a place for both…I’m 25 and I still appreciate his music…not all but some…simply because i’m a music fan…just as i appreciate Jay’s music…I still think DOA missed the point

and for the record there is no damn DOA movement you idiots so cut it out…damn y’all ride that guy

To all you hatersssss: Jay is a movement. && for Ron-whatever-the-fuck-his-name-is to say he’s “Ether Boy” I think that’s ridiculous for the simple fact JAY & NAS are buddies nowwww, aka ether doesn’t apply to write now, nor did it ever really affect Jay’s career when it came out, so it DEF doesn’t make a difference right now! The only thing I do respect about Ron- is that he didn’t try & diss hov like jim jones or webstar.. He’s smarter than that because he knows if he drops the auto tune he may still have a career, but if he decided to diss jay, well then we know where that would go..

DOA All dayyy!

Ron “Ether boy” browz can’t be proud of the beat he made? It was his most recognizeble joint until he came out as an artist so why not use it?

Autotune was okay for a while, but motherfuckas just went into overkill with that autotune shit. Just about every other rapper had an autotune track. It just started getting annoying. I’m glad hov put them on blast.
