Maybe it’s just the camera angle, added with the fact that the song is very new, but it doesn’t look like Jay-Z got that great of a reception during his “Death of AutoTune” [Click to Listen] performance. Also curious why T-Pain would come out for this song? Check out the video:
Founder and Executive Editor of Hiptics. I launched Hiptics in 2008. I spent the last 4 years at Denison University where I hosted a weekly hip-hop radio show on 91.1 WDUB (one of America's Top 20 Most Popular College Radio Stations). I also served as Public Relations Chairman, Program Director, and Webmaster of the station. I genuinely love hip-hop, and have been involved in nearly every aspect of the culture starting with selling my own music in Middle School (haha, true story). I won the Culture Jam Freestyle Battle at Denison both times I participated. I brought Wiz Khalifa, EbGb, and D.Julien to campus for a free Hiptics show in January 2010. I've interviewed everyone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to the CEO of Death Row Records. I've DJ'd for Wiz Khalifa and Sam Adams, as well as at countless parties and campus events. There's a lot more to be said, but I don't want to be THAT guy. My point is this: I'm not just another one of these hip-hop bloggers. If the Internet didn't exist, I'd still be in the game.
the whole situation is a headscratcher. maybe when jay says death of auto-tune he means bad auto-tune. notice when he says “you’re t-pain-in’ too much” that pain nods in agreement. so i’m guessin he’s cool with t-pain and ye using it, they do it artfully at least.
hm, idk if that came out right…something along those lines…
they do look hella bored.
on another note, i agree with jeezy. he is that ‘nigga’ in the south. I’d call him the Jay-Z of the south, honestly.
^ when was the last time you visited the south?

the audience probably wasn’t going wild because the song’s only been out since last Friday. i’m guessing people just didn’t recognize the song
