He does it again...it never fails...

Jay-Z, personally my favorite artist, has recently come out with his new track from Blueprint 3, DOA (Death of Autotune). It is his response to the overuse of autotune in music in the last couple of years. I'll admit, I do enjoy some of the music with autotune, but people have definitely been using it as a crutch. You could argue that its innovative or even the growth of hip-hop, but let's be honest, there's not much talent in it. Talent is creative scratching and mixing on turntables, mixing rap and R&B, freestyling, and umm, actually hitting a high note. Jay-Z took it upon himself to kill autotune, yet days after, new singles have come out using it. It has to be on its last few breathes though. My thoughts of music and its recent situation is sure to come up again, so stay tuned...
