There was a period of time — right around when Akon hit the scene in like ‘06 — that I was absolutely disgusted by rap music. I don’t care if he’s Mr. Lonely, or even if he wants to fuck me, because honestly, the feeling isn’t mutual. And that’s called rape, Akon. OK?
But I was disgusted by rap, largely because of all the auto-tuned, robot-voice garbage that was diluting the hot-for-the-streets market [see D2daP]. I like an MC that can rock socks off without a computer. Biggie didn’t even know how to spell computer (I believe in an interview, he spelled it “c-u-m-p-o-o-t-e-r”, which is arguably better anyway). But Akon was merely the beginning. It’s everywhere now; rock, R&B, jazz, space. But this video right here might mark a turning point for me. Because I actually think the auto-tunage makes it better…
