I sincerely hope this was a joke, but after watching it, I am sad to say that i don't think it is... this is just... well... just watch. My faith in humanity is slowly drifting away.

    • Wow, if this is the "Future of Irish Rap" I am pretty sure before long we are going to have more people swim across the pond to get away from that crap. Or at least hang those responsible....Whichever is fastest.....But yes, it was pretty awful....

    • I posted to the video on youtube and I figure my comments are just as valid here since we all agree what must be done:

      "Not to be a 'playa hater', but you can't be serious? Did the auto-tune crash under the stress of your terribly off-pitch voice? Because it sure didn't do a very good job of covering up how talentless you are. This is actually insulting. You might want to practice making music before publishing something this embarrassing for the whole internet to make fun of. Do you even know the first thing about poetry? Also: no one wants to see your shitty myspace pictures. Grow a brain, a dick, and a heart."

    • This is SO bad that I upped it. Because in the great wheel of suck, this has made one of those completely full circles and has come out the other side...

    • i can honestly say the only autotune track i can handle is city lights by meth and red ft bun b.

      blackout 2, cuban linx 2, gotta love the sick follow up albums.

      its hilarious that anti-autotune is the new autotune.

    • This is so dumb. I can't believe anyone would waste their time making something like this, let alone listen to it after it was finished.

    • auto-tune does not need to die. (although I wouldn't mind if hip hop in general died out)

      When it is used in creative ways, it can make for some beautiful music.

      But this... this guy needs to be thrown off a cliff.

      yea I miss Mozart and Django Reinhardt too... oh wait neither one of us were alive back when musicianship mattered. As much as I love Led Zeppelin and the stones and everybody my mom grew up listening to, only a handful of musicians back then had talent too... "Shit" has been saturating the market ever since Les Paul introduced multi track recording. (btw Les Paul, genius)

    • It looks like it could be in Germany so in some respects they could be forgiven.

      However, I have no idea what auto tune is but this is why I've always stayed away from hip-hop and top 40.

    • autotune when used correctly can sound ok
      and by that i mean when they use it only to really correct the out of tune singing after hours and hours trying to get that line correct in the studio...not to sound like a computer

      but i digress....this is shite....i mean the fact that the beat is whack, the lyrics are simplistic and sophmoric but the video is just a bunch of pictures on a 3 second switch is just lame

      does anybody know this guy so we can spam him with how shitty his video is???/

      Auto tune is a useful feature for singers with no range and no real abilities... maybe if you can't hit a fucking note you've got no business singing in a studio? Those things used to separate talent from hacks, now any douche with a small register can get behind a mic and sound more dynamic (cause they've never had a vocal coach or any formal teaching because they think they are "artists" and art is beyond education) it's laziness auto tune has its place in today's music but there were plenty of beautifully recorded pieces from singers that never used it. Hip Hop which sounds like something a bunny does and not a style of music has been the leader in trashing all proper sound etiquette (like cupping a fucking microphone, there isn't any planet where that actually sounds appealing) and of course there isn't one country star out there (taylor swift, miley cyrus, or those douchebags that covered life is a highway) who doesn't use it to improve their lackluster hick ass performances... PS Britney Spears sounds like a Robot... all artists are just some P.R. persons weird frankenstein creation if you are played on MTV it's not because your music is good it's because of record companies like Sony BMG who collect as many artists as possible and try every angle possible to get the public to swallow their crap and once you've swallowed the hook... Auto tune can be a fun tool for effects processing, instead of using it on vocals try it on different instruments or part of a chain of effects on a bus, keep a dry track and record the bus to a seperate track... possibilities in sound are unlimited. (you don't have to mutilate vocals)
