Obama fuming at Jay for giving him a guilty conscious about having 808s, carter 3 and epiphany on his kenwood 5 disc tray CD changer in the trunk of his presidential suburban

DOA was Kanye’s idea

I don’t think the song is literally saying nobody should ever use auto tune again it was basically just saying people need to step their s*** up.

Yeah it was him wanting to kill all the corny trendy s***

“This is anti auto-tune, death of the ring-tone,
This ain't for iTunes, this ain't for sing alongs”

It was him saying we’re losing the art of actually rapping for melodic sing along songs

Which in hindsight, Looking from 2026, He was absolutely right

Yeah people act like he dropped this song in the middle of Future’s prime or something lol there was a ton of rappers who aren’t auto tune rappers making BS auto tune songs at the time trying to catch a hit being lazy af lol

I think once people really started making excellent music with auto tune consistently Jay was pretty quick to embrace it lol

10/10

DOA was def more about s*** like Pop Champagne & Arab Money than T Pain or Future lol

“I’m calling for death of auto tune… oh but I’m not talking about the primary users of it like t pain and Kanye “

Pop Champagne slander... KTT niggas never fail to disappoint

Slaughterhouse rapping over this beat for 18 minutes is the most blog era s*** in the world

Jay Z d***riders will always find a way

Can't forget No Ceilings

I’m not slandering it, I’m just saying thats what he was talking about I actually like pop champagne & jumping out the window

You’re on strike 2 though, don’t strike out because I will throw my entire life away, idc at all bro.

We can both die today frfr its whatever

Really not that serious bro, my deepest apologies

nah bro f*** it im tired of life anyways might as well take u with me bro

im on my way

Sounds more like Kanye player hating on others using auto tune tbh

Autotune got even more extreme, trendy and exaggerated in the 2010s by dozens and dozens of ppl

He was calling Autotune ringtone and nursery rhyme sing along core

Which is still dissing autotune in itself and what autotune continued to be used for in its exaggerated ways

It got even more extreme after DOA and even more popular - which again means he failed and was off the mark of what was happening

2010s created the image of the "mush mouth autotune saturated" rapper that was clowned on the entire decade

I mean naturally, but it undeniably reached new heights and consistencies with certain artists

That's a matter of taste tho, when Autontune was still hated on in the 2010s

Even Future was s***ted on for and made fun of in both general Rap media and news n skits, such as Honest album which is looked at better in retrospect but was a flop for him that led to his mixtape run where he was "accepted" now in Rap, although still made fun of by a corner of the Rap and general world

And Kanye was already hating n sabotaging on TPain, so I wouldn't be surprised he was pushing DOA to rub it into Pain's face imo, especially since he prob at the time felt like he was over Autotune like that after 808s - but regardless, Jay still failed with his callout and calling it a trend due to it becoming basically ubiquitous of the genre pretty much right after this song/album

Ts a miss

not really man

classic

Go listen to some Jay Z... if that mid ass rapper can bag Beyonce theres hope for you
