DJ Quik and the Talkbox

[J$crILLa]

AUTO TUNE SUCKS

TALK BOX IS COOL

FUCK THIS NEW SCHOOL SHIT

[Tutlock]

Quik didn't contradict himself. He just sees the game for what it is. All these niggaz out here T-Paining and Pain claiming it for himself (autotune). Yes, there is a difference between the two but the talkbox is the obvious father to autotune. If Quik dropped a talkbox track, all these stupid Kids out here ridding T-Pain and Lil Wayne's nuts with no knowledge of hip-hop history would think Quik was trying to copy them and do the popular thing that has a strangle hold on the hip-hop industry.

yeah, you´re kinda right here, in rap especially the misuse of autotune tries to emulate or be a new version of talkbox.

autotune was originally invented to help singers to hit the right notes , i know every fucking pop music album there is since the late 90s of even before has autotune. because many singers may have a good voice but hitting the exact right notes isn´t as easy as people think so autotune was made to help producers to save time in studio .
 but autotune has this chance to "abuse" the effect, messing with the original voice and the sound comes out like you hear on these rap records.

akon for example half abuses autotune, he uses it to hit the right notes but to enhances his voice too in the process ( can´t stand his music though )
