VIDEO: Jay-Z draws a line on the sand against AutoTune

Jay-Z has spoken and the chairman says that he's "drawing a line on the sand" against auto-tune. Listen in to rant against the Vocoder voice enhancing technology all the while giving a shout out to T-Pain. Jay-Z believes that because T-Pain's songs are beautiful the vocoding is just there to give a certain thing to the songs not to actually be the reason for singing. It's why he also said that without the gimmick they stand on their own.

So true, how what is an "aesthetic choice" for one artist it becomes a gimmick in the hands of a few hacks. Check out the HOT97 interview via The Illblog.
