Jay-Z Calls Funk Flex and Mr. Cee to talk about “D.O.A.” (Hot97 Audio)
Posted by Miss Info under Albums , Quotes[53] Comments
Capping off a legendary night at Hot97 (with a new live-streaming feature on Hot97.com and all twitter-eyes on Funk Flex and Mr. Cee), Hov called in to talk about the “Death of Autotune” song that Flex had just debuted.

They act like in that interview that noone has been doing Hip Hop without AutoTune and Jay is on some Moses leading Hip Hop out of the dark ages type ish. Or like during this whole time they weren’t dropping bombs on AutoTuned tracks.

shout out to Jay for actually gettin rid of his conehead haircut.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
There will be a couple of people who will still use the software (i.e. T-Pain) but for the most part it’s over for Autotune.
June 6th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
@ #16 That’s “For Da Fam”
I liked Jay-Z’s records more before all the hip hop intellectuals started deciphering his lyrics on the blogs.
With that said… THIS SHIT IS A BANGER!
June 6th, 2009 at 9:16 pm

#20 wow Says:
June 6th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
“lol i sure they played a auto tune stright after.
wow that a joke”
Acutal Fact:
Mister Cee was on Hot97 today and was playing a Dancehall song with a autoTune chorus.
I wonder what Sean ‘P.Diddy’ Combs is going to do now with his autoTune album.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Im confused.his rhymes are tight, i wont argue that, but he dont actually say anythin about using not auto tune. Just a gimmick for the song.“I DON’T BE IN THE PROJECT HALL WAY TALKIN BOUT HOW I BE IN THE PROJECT ALL DAY, THAT SOUND STUPID TO ME IF YOU GANGSTA THIS IS HOW YA PROVE IT TO ME?” what has this got to do with auto tune?
June 7th, 2009 at 12:13 am
I DONT GET THIS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SYAIN THIS 4 A WHILE BUT WHEN JAY Z SAYS IT ITS A BIG DEAL
June 7th, 2009 at 12:37 am
This shit is HOT bottom line.
June 7th, 2009 at 12:45 am
That shit is pure fya!!!!!!!! All you new school emo’ed bright colored wearing nubies need to pay homage.
That shit right there is 100% REAL HIP-HOP
That’s what the games been missing
big up HOVA
June 7th, 2009 at 1:38 am
*Lumberg voice* ummm….yeeah. Couple thoughts:
1. this doesn’t really sound hard or violent at all, hov. you can’t really get too wild to this. btw, saxophones tend to calm people down, which is kinda the opposite of what you’re going for, no?
2. whose voice is too light? really hov? are you the guy to really be saying that?
3. haven’t you kinda sorta embraced the whole “hipster” vibe yourself, hov, what with the funny clothing and the whole “refusing to cut or even comb your hair” thing you got going, with the above picture being a great example?
4. auto-tune backlash has been in full swing for about a year now…where have you been?
i’m just saying, hov is simply positioning himself to ride the wave, now that hating autotune is popular. i would have been more impressed if he put this out about 9 months ago. of course he’ll probably take the credit for officially “killing” autotune, and no one will question it, probably b/c they’re happy to see it die.
congrats to all the salty old mouf djs that now feel like they can comfortably hate on the autotune now that hov has spoken up lol.
June 7th, 2009 at 2:27 am
I hope it truly is Death of Autotune.
June 7th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Jay Z is not the 1st legend to speak about the Autontune A.K.A “funny voine maker”, KRS ONE and Buckshot have a song out as well, Death of the Autotune” check it out
June 7th, 2009 at 8:52 am
this man is so much a hypocrite…he sold his soul way back in the day…but now preaching about auto tune…go away jay z, we dont need u, take 50 cent with u as well….who gives a frock about ur stash…NAS ETHER!
June 7th, 2009 at 9:39 am
hova needs a fresh cut haha! B.P.3 gonna be a classic word up!
June 7th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Jay just did T Pain,Kanye and Wayne a favor. T Pain made a song and video about this already.He was sick of everybody copying his shit and not doing it right. Jay probably just extended Kanye and Wayne careers for another 10 years because that shit was hurting their songs.
As for guys like Ron Browz,Webstar(Jim Jones people LOL) GOODBYE!!!!!!!! You know what sad about that, they were the only thing poppin in NYC. So, Jay just killed the upincoming NY hip hop scene by accident. NY took a L on hip hop expense.
June 7th, 2009 at 10:26 am
Finally! Hot 97 is streaming…..I thought the station was run by a bunch of luddites
June 7th, 2009 at 10:55 am
We speak verbal rhyme phonics
Why ya’ll trying to change this hip hop to technotronics?
-RZA off of Supreme Clientele
Some folks saw it coming i guess
June 7th, 2009 at 11:45 am
@#28 – does he have to talk about autotune exclusively for the whole record?? Or are you just looking for him to say someone’s name & start beef…it’s not a gimmick, but the overall message that “this” kind of music (hard drums, real lyrics)is what we trying to get back to not the shit you hearing on the radio now. Just the autotune trend & everything related to it in general has to go.
June 7th, 2009 at 11:50 am
@ #29 – But who has actually went on record to speak against it? I know a lot of ppl behind the scenes voice thier opinions, like Jada, on interviews and such. But what major rap artists has gone on wax and proclaimed death to autotune. I’ll wait………..
None that I can recall. Most of them rode the bandwagon & started using it themselves.
June 7th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Bottom line its a hot song. Far as is he getting at this one or that one I don’t think it’s that. Its his opinion. Everybody has one. I’ve been tired of auto tune. Its like every other fad in hip hop. People do it for awhile and move on.(ie Flatops, african medallions, and jerseys) That said let’s move on people.
June 7th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
music is music lets keep it moving and thanks Miss info your site is the best cant wait until you put up some summer jam stuff .
June 8th, 2009 at 4:22 am
LOL These two are eating good lmfao. They need to learn how to shut up though when playing a damm new song dammit. I got mad annoyed when they didnt play it all the way, lol

“I DON’T BE IN THE PROJECT HALL WAY TALKIN BOUT HOW I BE IN THE PROJECT ALL DAY, THAT SOUND STUPID TO ME IF YOU GANGSTA THIS IS HOW YA PROVE IT TO ME?” Alot of rappers now days are going soft and commercial. You got niggas glorifying how they be in da projects etc. BUT HOMIE the STREETS do not know u for that. Your known for the money you make and the bullshit u dont take. Just cause ur in the projects does not make u hard cause on nigga on da hill can come down and rain on ur whole parade so to speak. This ties in the song because now rappers are proclaiming they are the best but there lyrical content be garbage….. a few metaphors and a singing hook????? Now you got the top record??? No…… how bout you speak on a topic and follow that sae concept through the whole song while having enough creativity and knowledge in your words to still make ur story rhythmic.THATS a true artist. That line goes perfect cause he sayin lets get off this soft shit and get back to speaking to the real niggaz like Jeezy said its a dieng breed. We do not like all this smiling singing and dancing maybe str8 in da club to get females dancing but this shit does not entitle someone a good lyricist. So in closing listen the whole song and its basically lets get back to the real nigga shit. Streets know u for what u do while ur sitting in the projects. They do not not respect u cause ur just there all day. Leave the singing to the singers and lets get back to rap.

They made it like he murdered peoples career ummm NO. Look if the majority of people like it which they do its not gonna change. Yes sooner or later it will go out of style. Hes only backing kanye using it cause that record that sells put cash in his pocket. He just wants it so that when he says jump we say how high. He just likes the feeling that he runs hip hop, but its w/e the song was hot blue print 3 was ehhh.
