There's nothing people of color love more than Opie.
That's just a fact.

I remember when I first used ProTools too.

I honestly couldn't watch more than a minute.

I don't know what to think. Is this a joke?

Hell, let's throw in Randall "Tex" Cobb for good measure!

I can't stand the new fad of voice modulation with every R&B song I hear. The only guys that do it well (fact) are Ween, Patton, and Butthole Surfers!

J-fox:Hey T-pain, I bet I can make a video funnier then On a Boat yet with more street cred
T-Pain: Bull shiat, I call you
J-fox: hell I'll even put Ron Howard in it and get it on BET
T-Pain: put down the bong, did you see this weeks episode of Housewives?

Howard is as creepy as it is having him in the video in the first place.

Well, just about every electronic act has been down this road, but they don't stick to one specific effect/filter like everyone is doing with Autotune in mainstream music.

There's nothing wrong with drenching your vocals in effects, but this is just getting obnoxious.

I would have liked it better if it was Clint Howard.

You lie - T-Pain's comedy apex will always be I'm On A Boat.

I actually have more respect with the rappers who admit the computer makes them sound like nothing a human could sound like. J.lo on the other hand spends less time in the studio then the albums spend in post production to make her sound good.

Every Akon song activates the kill signal in my brain for that very reason. These systems are the vocal equivalent of a sausage grinder, except the sausage is palatable and this stuff is not.

I'll be surprised when they all have a guest verse on the song.

There's a certain aspect of vocals with effects that do sound cool. Skinny Puppy's Ogre sounded awesome. Underworld does a terrific job. Daft Punk add a lot of quirkiness to their music. Rhythm & Sound summon up ghostly spirits of dub.

But this is just a gimmick, a schtick, and it's gotten old and played out. fark's sake, it isn't funny anymore when people make spoof videos on the internet you know you need to stop doing it.

And things will really come together when Gilbert Gottfried takes the mic!

Not impressed.

Ok, I ADORE Jamie Foxx, but this just isn't his niche. And hes a gazillionaire. He could have at least kicked out a better video than K-Feds premiere.

All that aside, very bold and I smiled watching/listening.

 
NicoFinn [TotalFark] 2009-03-03 05:17:26 AM  
I hate him and he sucks. I can't listen to anything he does without laughing.
