The Census (6/8 - 6/15 Debriefing Session)
Well, well, well. I guess you guys are beginning to like the idea of suffrage because we got a few more votes for this week's census. But the results are in, and I can't say that I don't agree:
Fuck Jay-Z!!! I'm working on my remix to "Buy U a Drank" right now!!! 54%
Fuck all these Parliament wannabe's!!! 45%
With the advent of Jay-Z's "Death of Autotune," the auto-tune era seemed to be on its way out. However, there's been a lot of backlash to Jigga's movement. Artists like Jim Jones (well, he hates everything Jay does) have been speaking out, saying that one man doesn't have the clout to just kill a fad (yes, it is a fad; things that are here to stay don't reappear every 20 years). I tend to agree with Jimmy on this one, as do you guys. While some of the music (coughroncoughcoughbrowz) has been less than stellar, a lot has been eye-opening to say the least. It gives way to new vocal styles and a much less stagnant sound for a lot of artists. Is it really right do dismiss autotune and make the users out to be one hit wonders? At least we know one artist who's made a career out of it:
T-Pain is eating... literally
