Edd’s MANtra: The Greatest Song Ever Written

Have you heard Jay-Z’s new song? It’s called D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-tune), which amounts to four minutes of Jay fussing about rappers moonlighting as karaoke singers.

It’s like I wrote this song!

Ironically, the track was co-produced by Mr. Snug Britches, Kanye West. I expect him to start whining any minute. But according to Jay, it’s not a diss. From xxlmag.com:

“I’m not saying that Auto-Tune is wack,” he explained. “What I’m saying is someone does that. You know T-Pain he did it, he writes great melodies, fantastic, Wayne did it and Kanye. You know leave that for them. Not everybody. Like we all gonna make one type of record. Like that’s how you stagnate hip-hop, that’s how people get turned off. You listen to the radio and every single record has Auto-Tune. That’s corny, that’s wack.”

You can’t fool me, Jay. You hate auto-tune as much as me.

If we can expect more of this grumpy, old-man rap on his new album, Blueprint 3, I’m counting the days till September. Check it out.
