So this guy isn't really a Hip Hop artist, he's more R&B, but he's really not even that because he has BY FAR the most autotuned voice I've ever heard. To the point that he just sounds like some sample someone added to a beat program and distorted until it sounded like someone literally shot themselves on the track and screamed bloody fucking murder.
The song Arab Money by Busta Rhymes (stupid fucking song) is what really brought to light how useless he was so check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T5hbz3wI2k
It just seems to me that if you're going to edit your voice to the point that it doesn't even sound like you sang it then what the FUCK is the point of being a singer? Just be a giant effect and get the fuck out my face. This fad has been taken way too fucking far, and it's ruining music. The entire point of R&B was to make people fall in love with YOUR voice and what you sing about. That's why people like Whitney, Mariah, Luther, Boyz II Men, and all those other people. But if you're just going to edit your voice then what's the point? First T Pain did it, then Kanye, Lil Wayne brought it to rap and then to R&B and Rock (if that's what you wanna call it), and now this "R&B" singer is all the fuck over it. When does it stop? Would it even be considered murder if we shot these people?
