Gay fish, yo.

WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO RAP!? All these whiny ass auto-tuned crooners are killing me. Or rather, making me want to kill myself. I'm sure Tupac and Biggie are rolling over in their graves, and Easy E wouldn't have wasted a bullet on these jokers, let alone give 'em an STD. (Waste of fucking time) aha. ha. yeah

If you don't know what autotune is, it's that ohsofucking annoying "computerized" vocal effect EVERYONE is using these days. And it's ignorant-ass "music lovers" like yourself (I hope not) that are fueling this gayfest.

I implore you: stick your "808s and Whining" CDs in the microwave, if only for a few seconds!

Who was the first person to release an album that was entirely autotuned (making "genius", fishstick-loving Kanye think it's an OK thing to do) you might ask? Let me tell you: fucking Cher! As in, Sonny &.

Christ deliver me from these persecutors of my eardrums! Seriously, I know I'm a fan of Old Testament God, the badass, fire & brimstone One, but this is too much.

As with many large categories (rules, groups, stereotypes) there are a few exceptions. I've heard a handful of songs with some autotuned choruses or something that are good. But they're easily the minority.

I know if I ever see that circus freak T-Pain, I'm gonna give him some straight uppercut-pain, and knock his goofy, Mad Hatter'd ass out. Granted, T-Pain's probably better than his real name, Faheem Rasheed Najm. (ah, Google) Not to hate (I voted for Barack Hussein Obama) but his agent probably told him sales would be better if his name didn't look like one on a Florida pilots instructor course app.
Tallahassee-Pain, the full version, I feel I don't even have to make fun of, you are already doing that in your head.

I say all this because I recently had a discussion about this damn autotune madness, and people who agree are like Copernicus finding an understanding Catholic.

By far my favorite song with this over-hyped phenomenon would be Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "Gay Fish". Classic.

"But now I’m out and I’m free to love what I want
Be it yellowfin or bass or that trout in Vermont

I slap that marlin ass, make that grouper butt shake
I’ll come to your house and have an orgy in your mothafuckin fish tank"

Thank you SouthPark. Thank you!
(Gay fish, yo.)
