Redman Auto-Tunes New Album, "Reggie Noble Don't Give A F*ck, He Wanna Do [It]"

Def Jam's Redman has offered some clues toward his new album, Reggie Noble 9 1/2, and said he has no regrets for using auto-tune on a few records.

From Redman's perspective, it is his alter-ego which decided to use the voice-enhancing tool.

    "I got it on my new album -- I don't care," said in an interview about auto-tune. "Reggie Noble is doing the album, not Redman. Let's get that clear. Reggie Noble don't give a f*ck! He wanna do auto-tune. He wants to do a pop record. He just wants to do music because he loves music. What's the difference between Reggie Noble and Redman is that this Reggie Noble album is more conceptual. It got concepts on it, it got auto-tune on it, it got a pop record on it. I had fun on it. I'm just throwing it out, giving it to Def Jam." (Rap-Up)

Def Jam labelmate Ghostface Killah recently spoke on his Ron Browz collaboration "She's A Killer" and why former labelmate Jay-Z hurt the single's buzz due to the auto-tune bashing "D.O.A." song.

    "I had Ron Browz on it," Ghost said about the track. "It was about a co-defendant of mine, she was real sexy and putting in work, real pretty and she'll slay you. She'll rock you to sleep and get whatever you got. She'd do anything, everybody liked her -- We let it out but then your boy Jay-Z came with that f*cking 'Death of [Auto-Tune]' sh*t and vocalled the sh*t and smashed my f*cking joint, you know what I mean? He smashed my sh*t with that sh*t, I understand, I felt like how Jay felt but when I did the record, I didn't care about all that sh*t, 'cause I'm just worried about me. So when he came with that sh*t, that 'Death of' a lot of deejays were on that 'Yeah yeah,' sucking his d*ck. And now left your boy out there with a record that would have been bubbling on some other sh*t though, you know what I mean? It's all good though." (Best of Both Offices)

Aside from music, Redman recently updated fans on the status of a How High sequel.

    "Yo, Red and Mef, we coming too," Reggie Noble promised in an interview. "Thanks everybody for buying the Blackout 2! album and everyone who's wondering about the How High movie, listen, we're trying to get a deal for it. Universal is not allowing us to use the name or the characters because of paperwork, right, so y'all know the deal, we gonna work around that. But the most important part, the video will still be marijuana-related, and that is the very important part." (The Life Files)

Redman previously spoke with SOHH about his issues with Universal.

    "As far as Universal, bad move," Red explained last spring. "Everybody that we promoted the [movie] to, all our fans, we thank you for listening and rooting for us and wondering when the new movie coming out but it's not our fault. It's a business move. Universal are not pushing. They're not opening that money door for us to shoot it. We promoted the sh*t out of that movie. We got the whole world waiting for a How High 2. [They'd] be stupid not to just throw money and say let's just do it because it's already promoted. That's the real deal. It's business, paperwork, not us." (SOHH)

Redman's Reggie Noble 9 1/2 is set to drop December 2009.'

Read about this the other day, was not impressed when I heard. If its literally only on about 2 or 3 tracks, then I'll probably get over it, just skip them.

So he uses auto-tune? what if he makes it sound hot?? I dont wanna judge something before i listen to it....

Red is notmather what one of the most skilled rappers so if anyone can pull it of, its him, because of his aditude. Hes a funny guy, i expect nothing but punchlines and funny methafors. And if Redman could make a hot verse on that Aguilera song he damn sure can make a hot album whit a pop beat or two.

I'm still looking forward to the album, and he did use auto tune on City Lights, that wasn't bad. But from the articlesounds like its a couple songs.

They had it on Blackout! 2 on a few spots, just over a couple of lines. If it's done the same way here - no biggie. But hopefully he hasn't gone all out with it.

I won't mind if there's only a little bit of it and it sounds like Roger Troutman style. T-Pain style, nah fuck that.

Roger Troutman used a voice box, not Auto Tune.

As for Red doing it, I can't immediately dismiss it without actually hearing what he's doing with it but as a concept, it's just something that immediately kind of pulls me away. I think Red could possibly do something fun with it but his use of it on "City Lights" didn't exactly sell me on it.

LOL @ you using the auto-tune discussion as an excuse to continue your Jigga-bashing. Sickening. :D

As far as I can remember, a LOT of people and nearly all of Dubcc were hating on auto-tune before Jay-Z said anything about it.. but hey, if it fits your agenda.

The thread is about Redman and using auto-tune, discussing Jay-Z's Death Of Auto-tune and clashing agendas, is part of that, imo.

It's also funny how some people are only against auto-tune if it's the wrong artist using it.. in come cases I can see why, depending on how the artist pull it off.

as long as autotune stays on the chorus and he doesnt rap with autotune on his voice for 5minutes then i could careless. Thats when i cant stand autotune.

I think it's funny that Redman creates an alter-ego for his pop/autotune experiment in case the new album gets rejected by the fans, he can blame his misstep on his alter-ego.

Its Redman, he's always made fun music. I really don't mind any artist using it, its just when they do they usually fall in love with the shit.
