what young folk, anyone young enough to remember that song isn't young, nikkaz telling on themselves

Death of auto tune came out in 2009, the autotune era died die, and was brought back drill music and mumble rappers, who did entirely different the garbage songs weezy was making at the time and kanye
Hell nah :mjlol::dahell:
Autotune became bigger than ever in 2009-2010. Lol.

the internet
Lollipop and C3 dropped before 808s though.

All of the Lil Wayne Beats dropped way before either weeks and Lil Wayne's influence was much bigger at the time.

Wayne announced and R & B Auto Tune album way before Kanye West ever did. It was called DEVOL. But he changed it to a rock album because Kanye West kind of took his idea.
808s gave the sound legitimacy (imo)

when I think about it was probably the combined efforts of both of them.

If one or the other didnt do it the sound may have died or been a fad

Nikkas legit don't know what autotune sounds like unless its turnt to the ceiling like ye on 808s. Obsessed dropped like a week after DOA and dominated.

Find Your Love is literally an 808s throwaway and drenched in autotune. Future is drenched in auto tune. You don't hear it because high octane autotune became the norm after 808s.

Kanye cried for like 3 minutes in autotune on Runaway.

Look at the so far gone tour where drake is freestyling in big autotune over say you will. It was only turnt up after DOA. Good song tho.

Fukkin try hard cornballs in here saying there wasnt much autotune around the time/shortly after DOA. Get allllllll the way the fukk outta here. Then I see some of you admitting "OK well autotune didnt make a resurgence til 2010/2011"... Sooo... youre saying now Jay killed autotune for 1 year? Even if true, that proves right there he has no real power/influence if it was able to creep right back into mainstream only 12 months later and become bigger and more commonly used than ever. Yall nikkas got funny logic (and memory.)

Who said he had any real power to stop anything? A lot of you don't read, you just see an opportunity to clown/joke because you see others doing it without reading for yourself? All that was said is that:

1) Autotune had slowed down a bit by the time Jay released "DOA".

2) Jay capitalized on a slowing trend, so it appeared that he killed it even if it was for a short period of time. And people love saying he slowed or even killed T Pain and Ron Browz careers and Pain is the one who made it trendy in the first place. Browz had autotune songs everywhere.

3) It came back heavy

A year is a long time for a trend as big as autotune to be out of style. I don't see how you're making light of that, if that's what you're conceding.

I wouldn't say "Obsessed" dominates. It was a big song, but it didn't dominate anything especially since it was a Mariah song. She had way bigger singles than that.

"Find Your Love" is a whole year after "DOA" as was "Runaway".

Future's first hit was Racks. That had autotune

Racks isn't even a future song that's YC and it wasn't a big hit like Same Dame Time
and the fact you think it was future's song, shows how irrelevant it was

and I didn't mean nobody used it all period, yall nikkaz take everything so fukking literal, Autotune was dominating the era

Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, and shyt took over, autotune didn't come back until mumble rap, and it was totally different than shyt like this it was the main thing

Wiz Khalifa is known for autotune not rapping

Mac Miller was known for autotune

Timbs popularity dropped but it came back tho.

That wasn’t really because of Jay though.

Timbs popularity dropped before Off That. I would say the resurgence came back shortly after Off That honestly. shyt even Jay was spotted rockin them less than a year after that song dropped.

Racks was bigger than Same Damn Time and charted higher. It isn't Future song but we all know he's the reason it blew up. It's his hook.

You're really a dumbass:mjlol:

Yeah it was before him and it didn’t come back until 2013/14 imo

That time period in NY was all about ACG’s, Polo boots, Ugg boots, Asolos
