From RapBasement:
"So who inspired Jay-Z to declare the "Death Of Autotune" Turns out it was none-other than Kanye West who used Auto-Tune for his entire "808s & Heartbreak" album. "He actually sparked the idea," Jay-Z says. "When he heard the beat he said, 'Man, this is just so hard! This has to be against everything -- no auto-tune, none of that type of stuff!' He didn't know what I was going to do or where I was going to take it, but it was actually his fault."
Jigga's says it's hip hop's job to set trends, not follow them. "In hip-hop, our job is once a trend becomes a gimmick, to get rid of it. We've done that since the beginning of time...Now people are using auto-tune even in Wendy's commercials, and it's like, 'Oh no! That has to go!' It's become part of main culture. It's the same thing like when the old lady in Oregon starts saying, 'bling, bling.' It's like, 'I'm never saying that again.'"
D.O.A. has grown on me so much since it's initial leak, Blueprint 3 is, along with Humbug, my most anticipated album of the latter half of 09. If you havent heard the chase and status remix yet, you can below...
I was there when Zane Lowe world premiered it at Glasto!
In other Jay-Z news The Game seems to be baiting him into some lame hip-hop feud. Over the last few weeks the Game has been dissing Jay AND Beyonce on pointless diss tracks/mixtapes...aparently he wants a lyrical battle...I have no idea why, Jay-Z is a more talented rapper whichever way you look at it. The Game should concentrate on making proper music and not pointless tyrades as he is very capable.
