Auto-Tune’s poster boys phone in with NigelD and address Shawn C.’s Napalm Bomb, “D.O.A.”
Yes, gentleman using Auto-Tune in 2009 is trite. To quote Mr. Dennis Coles, “Get your own shit and be original!” How can the music evolve if everyone is doing the same thing? What works for the goose doesn’t always work for the gander. You see Webstar, even if your record plays on the radio every five minutes, it doesn’t mean that it’s good. What it means is that it’s locked into the listeners memory thanks to repetition. “Dancing On Me” may be your only record using Auto-Tune, but I doubt the other songs are raising the bar in hip-hop. There’s nothing wrong with “dance” records, as long as they’re not executed cheesy. As for Browz, I think your hip-hop contributions are best left on the MPC. But hey, what do I know. I’m just a rap fan.
After the jump, No I.D. adds his 2 Cents.



This is an interesting collaboration and a nice way to keep fans excited about what J. Cole might have coming next. His ability to bring a distinctive style and thoughtful delivery to different artists’ projects always makes his verses worth listening to. The collaboration with Adam Levine’s band sounds like a refreshing combination, and hopefully it does lead to more new music from Cole soon. Fans are always eager to hear what direction he takes next, much like the anticipation surrounding a goldendoodle when choosing a lovable companion.
