Kid Cudi doesn't use autotune

And I fuckin respect that. seriously. how many pop stars these days cover up their voiced with autotune? fergi, lil-wayne, justin beiber, usher, everyone does. rockstars are the only guys who don't and that's because it doesn't suit. I'm sure it wont be long. I'm not racist, but I can generalise that it's black guys with high pitched voices who wear designer clothes and sing pretty much about love, money, cars and recycled clichés that use autotune. it is no talent. their producers write the song, and they sing it only to be passed through rigorous computer modification and come out basically as an instrument.

there is one dude, however, called KiD CuDi. yes he does have alternate capitals in his name and that fucks me off, but he doesn't use autotune and he does write his own songs.

this guy is legit. he raps about his life. the shit he does, how much he loves weed and how he got famous. every song has a story and isn't about some generic love affair. pretty sure his use of 'shorty' is sparse too. in fact no song comes to memory where he calls a girl shorty. mad.

but let's take a well known example where he did use autotune. or rather some ugly german weedrat called 'david guetta'. you can check out the vid on youtube. look, it's subtle. but he still does it. tell me he doesn't sound like another layer in the music as opposed to a singer. have a listen. listen again and again. it blends in and the singer loses his integrity within the song.

look basically I feel like it's talentless. It's masking a singer's voice when the whole point of singing is to flaunt their voice. it just so happens that black guys like jason derula, usher, neyo, sean kingston, lil wayne,

t-pain is the exception, because he did it first. it's his style. ok. gotta run to do homework. ciao.
