    @ people who cry about autotune do you also hate Hendrix for using distortion on guitars?

    Bcuz tbh it seems like a lot of autotune hate stems from "real rap" mentalities, which is the way more cancerous to the genre than using autotune as a crutch

    "I miss real rock back before guitarists had to use distortion to cover up the fact that they can't play"

    And sometimes non autotune rap is garbage but you never hear anyone crying about it as if the lack of autotune is the problem

    And sometimes without the proper equipment, regular voices sound like garbage too, but we're all intelligent enough to realize that's not indicative of every non-autotune song

    T pain made it popular. Kanye crafted it and it should have stopped there.

    I like auto tune on rap tbh. It's only in RnB or in pop that it really sounds bad sometimes
