Jay-Z :: D.O.A. – Death of Autotune

jayzJay-Z‘s had the internet going bonkers over this track.  I can’t say that I’m impressed, but let’s face it – Jay‘s pushing 40, he’s spent the last 15+ years building his empire and marrying whore ass Beyonce, so I figure he’s more preoccupied with getting some paper and some tail than truly making quality music.  The beat’s pretty whatever.  I guess I expected some undeniable heat, and this track is pretty mediocre.  Let’s hope Blueprint 3, which is due on September 11th (the 8th anniversary of the release of Blueprint – as well as the 8th anniversary of 9/11), will bring some fuego.  Guest spots include Andre 3000, Young Jeezy (really?) and Nas.  Can we expect a 2009 Bonnie and Clyde / Beyonce apperance?  No thank you.

    You know.. I actually really dug the D.O.A. track. I think Jay is one of the best still and although the verse was nothing super spectacular the song was fresh and for someone to actually call out the auto-tune rappers and go against the grain he deserves some props.

    I think I’m one of the few who wasn’t feeling the track… I guess I was expecting to hear something more like ‘Jockin Jay-Z’ than a track that’s really similar to the American Gangster / Kingdom come type Jay that we’ve seen so much lately.

    I just wonder how awkward it is when Jay comes into a party and like, 1/2 of his homies there have literally made their way BECAUSE of Auto-tune.
