Jay-Z Actually Created A Track With Auto-Tune Before Dropping D.O.A.

Jay-Z says that the two recorded one track with Auto-Tune previously for “The Blueprint 3,” but once “D.O.A.” came about, they decided to scrap it. “After we made the ‘D.O.A.’ record about a month ago, we were like, ‘if it’s got to go, it’s got to go.’”
Source: Billboard
Hopefully someone leaks the track, if the song sounded like a major hit he would of dropped it instead of D.O.A. lol.

He dissed him self, Fucking idiot.
This is for his followers ( for the D.O.A. movement ), FUCK YOU.

July 17th, 2009 at 11:23 am
He could still drop it if he wanted..but then again, if it is not on the album, why bother? He still has a month and some days
July 17th, 2009 at 11:25 am
How can people hear what was never recorded?

Jay Lost? Says:

U sound like a dumbass. If u don’t like hov that’s fine but come up with a better complaint than ” he bites” I like jay & I can come up with a better arguement than that shit. People that says jay is a bitter r really saying “damn I hate/know that jay is the best, he makes club bangers, he’s lyrical, he’s consistant, he’s better than my favorite rapper & bitting is the only thing I can hate on him about…”
July 17th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
SELF-OWNED.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
But I agree, it is weird that jay would do autotune on multiple tracks than make doa and sweep his autotune tracks under the rug. He’s a hustler so I guess he’ll do wuteva 4 this chedda
July 17th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
yall cats dont get it. he not comin at tpain, wayne, kanye cuz they got talent BESIDES autotune. he goin at the dudes he live and breathe that shit. cant make a track without it
July 17th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Jay is too smar for ya niggaz…
I think it’s time for AutoTune to die….
When Kanye sings, he needs autotune cause he sure gets out of tune when he doesnt have autotune… but T-Pain can really sing… the dude got talent… and Wayne is good… with or without autotune… his verses are dope…. but Jay still the KING…
July 17th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
If he would have did auto tune 2 years ago & then did doa this year I mite have let him slide but it’s hard 2 justify doing both at the same time
July 17th, 2009 at 3:33 pm

umm na.. i think i went over your head my G
Jay-Z is studying the guy he he tried to conquer on Takeover.. never has he challanged his fan base intellectually until now… Hes been a bubble gum rapper for much of his main-stream career I.E “Truthfully i wanna rap like a common sense” line he used on Black Album…
He retired after that.. but now hes back re-creating himself at 40.. hes confused
hes a follower
hes always biting trends
hes also insecure
Its a new day in the genre… Hip hop is dead dropped in 2006
July 17th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I could tell people think Jigga contradicting himself, but for real anybody will switch they shit up once something is played out. even Jigga himself admitted he did the autotune thing. people make it seem like he’s this underground it’s back to real hip hop savior. This rap game is all about balance and adapting. it’s just that you gotta put your twist too what you are adapting to, do what they do but flip it. adapting is apart of growth, but the trick to it is to never overadapt cause it works against you. get versatile put them styles together put your own recipe, just make sure it’s not like anybody else’s. same pot, different stew.
July 17th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
and to #24, I could tell you don’t listen to albums from beginning to end. I’m not knocking you, you probably just seen all the gloss that BIG and Jay and Pac had in the 90’s when they went all commercial and Nas was always lookin like he was the one struggling cause he don’t really do the party joints as the main single to his album (except for “you owe me” on the Nastradamus album) Nas had to adapt too.
I used to always think Nas was better and nicer than Jig until maybe like Jigga’s 3rd album dropped. I realized Jay-Z is just more relevant than Nas cause he got the club bangers and the jewels but Nas is only really good at conscious songs that hit the radio(if I ruled the world, hip hop is dead) and makin relevant club joints or shit for the car ain’t Nas’s lane. they both dope but it’s my opinion and I think other people would agree. Jigga got them choruses and Nas got them dope introspective songs, but I seen Jay-Z be more versatile close enough to BIG and Pac.

itz called rebirth of autotune and itz the 1st trackhttp://www.datpiff.com/Dj_Whiteowl_Whiteowl_Drop_That_72.m50233.html
step ya game up ya mad late
July 17th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
it says, jay created a song with auto-tune dat does not mean the whole song was in auto-tune , it didn’t say he was the one who was using it .. how do you know .. he didn’t have kanye or somebody else on tha hook using it … because he probably was going to use it for uh single ..you see the title and you ..just figured he was tha one who was using it ..and if jay is contradicting himself ..so is nas, … .nas screams hiphop is dead .. but he’s still dropping albums, and making music ? .. isn’t that like the same thing? …
July 17th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Pretty sure Nas opened the industry eyes to all this BS on TV in radio 3 years ago… when the homie HOV was making money off these Clowns (Rick Ross)
The culture has been dying for a while now.. Big homie played a pivotal role in hurting the culture and now that its hurting his pockets hes going to try and bring some of the essence back to it

July 17th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
@24 Come on homie Jay is a follower? U can do better than that he created most of the trends thats out now & he said he likes the autotune but too many lame niggas is doing it, its jus like when jerseys were hott when lame bum niggas were wearing them it wasn’t hot anymore. But u also say hes a bubble gum rapper. PLEASE TELL ME WHATS A BUBBLE GUM RHYME? I’m being serious & pls be serious with ur responses. the song u quoted he killed—
The music business hate me
Cause the industry ain’t make me
Hustlers and boosters embrace me
And the music i be makin
I dumb down for my audience
And double my dollars
They criticize me for it
Yet they all yell “Holla”
If skills sold
Truth be told
I’d probably be
Lyricly
Talib Kweli
Truthfully
I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
(But i did five Mil)
I ain’t been rhymin like Common since
When your sense got that much in common
And you been hustlin since
Your inception
Fuck perception
Go with what makes sense
Since
What was simple bout those lyrics? They were from a honest prospective, they were direct where u can u understand what hes talking bout, the word play was crazy and his flow is always on point. But please SOMEBODY TELL ME WHATS A BUBBLE GUM RHYME! ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE!
“If skills sold
Truth be told
I’d probably be
Lyricly
Talib Kweli”
Thats honesty for ur ass right there— straight with no chaser!
July 17th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
that culture grew when the young kids that used to do that shit grew up and became adults and needed money. I say get you money and get ya respect at the same time otherwise there is no purpose for anyone to get in this industry. just stick to the open mics and cyphers and do it for ya peeps that’s listenin to you.
July 17th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Jay-z >>>> nas
any logical person knows this
July 17th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Jay doesn’t even do justice on that track. That track is a monster and he comes with a wack VERSE and spreads it w/ a wack hook. That using swag to sell records is over.
============================================================
Jay-z >>>> nas

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
thanks, now that is the joke of the day.. !
July 17th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
I can’t take DOA seriously anymore. Seriously its a joke. Its not even all that hot.
Especally since HE tryed awful-tune????
July 17th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
where, does it say…he was the one who was using it tho? …could it be possible, that he had kanye ..or somebody else ..using it ..on the hook ..to tha song ?
July 18th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Every rapper bites. Listen to the biggest names in the game ye’ and wayne you can hear both of them biting rakim (lil wayne all around the world), Common (Kanye Homecoming) Biting is common but in jay’s case his best lines arent bitten, particularly the track hovi baby.
July 18th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
jay-z a sucker he made the whole album in autotune now he wanna tryna and denouce it old ass nigga fuck jay-z
July 19th, 2009 at 8:38 am
I like the old Jay ….this new Jay is wack because like I said he has nothing left to say….and yes its all marketing just so he can sell and stay relevant…..
July 19th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
#35 is the most intelligent person on here….how did it really take to number 35 for someone to think about that
October 30th, 2009 at 11:53 am
i been a jay z fan since 96.. and in my opinion he jus gets better and better… DOA is basically sayin that all these wack rappers out here that cant make a hit song if their lives depended on it are Killing Autotune…this is the death of it… i dont remember jay sayin he doesnt like autotune or hes killin it….. i would love to here his autotune song … it wouldnt change a thing….DOA is not really lyrical but every can agree its different and its SO New Yorkish…. We all know he has lyrics but he was gettin a message across…. Basically Stop hatin if u dont like him… listen to sumthin else…. Yall hatin must b soldier boy fans….lol
