Jay-Z goes in depth about D.O.A

I so have a better understanding now. And I never thought I would be on Jay's side about this. But it is looking as though ppl are just making it a gimmick. Get what I'm saying. Look at all the no talent fucking artists doing this. They wouldnt be shit without autotune.

This is what Jay-Z has to say to all these young niggas out here right now who are crying about this D.O.A track."Eat a dick and die." No!No! I'm just joking. LOL! Do you Soulja Boy. Do you nigga! Much respect. But this is what Jay had to say. “In hip-hop our job is, once a trend becomes a gimmick, to get rid of it. We’ve done that since the beginning of time. This isn’t some newfangled thing,” Jay-Z says about the track, which criticizes the overuse of the pitch-correction technology. “When people were wearing the black medallions Ice Cube came along and said, ‘Get it outta here!’ When Hammer was selling 50,000 records, Q-Tip came and said, ‘Get it outta here!’ Then Biggie Smalls came and said, ‘Your life is played out like Kwame in the f—ing polka dots. Get the polka dots outta here!’ It’s just a part of hip-hop.
