Jay told Kanye he wanted all auto tune off his album.
Yeah, I just mean, he made a song called "The Death of Autotune". In the intro he goes "good riddance". It's implied that Jay-Z thinks it's wack, and wants it gone. The song is a bold statement, as if his word was law. Jay-Z said it's dead, it's dead. I get the thing he's doing, it's cool enough.
It's one thing for Jay to call up Kanye and say he's not digging the autotune stuff, so he doesn't want any of that on the album. You know, as part of the creative process. It's another thing for him to put out a song where he's making it pretty clear he thinks it's wack.
He might as well name drop all the artists that use it and say they're wack without any further explanation. So I'm thinking, is this gonna start a new beef or what.
