Jay-Z took aim at the overuse of Auto-Tune with his new song "D.O.A.," and although he claimed T-Pain wasn't a target, the Brooklyn MC admitted he wasn't sure how the computer-aided crooner would take his track.
"If T-Pain got to feel a little brunt behind that, then I'm cool with that," he said Monday afternoon (June 8) in an interview with New York radio station Hot 97. "I'm all about the culture. It's bigger than the politics. If T-Pain felt like he wanted to never talk to me again, I would have been cool with that."

Though Kanye, the song's co-producer, and DJs like Funkmaster Flex and Mister Cee sided with Jay-Z, not everyone was onboard. Some younger rappers haven't supported Jay-Z's anti-Auto-Tune crusade.
Harlem, New York's DJ Webstar, who had a hit using Auto-Tune with his song "Dancing on Me," Tweeted about "D.O.A." and his thoughts on Jay. "Who heard old ass Jay Z hating?" the youngster wrote.
Jim Jones also took aim at Jay on Twitter. "An old sucka, LOL," Jones Tweeted. "We back, and if he kilt Auto-Tune then we must be Easter, the resurrection, LOL."

Ummm are you kidding? Who the hell is Jim Jones to be running his mouth? All he can do is ad-lib on his tracks and sound like an idiot with random sayings over a beat. And the pathetic thing about DJ Webstar, is uhhh...who is he exactly? I guarantee he owns all of Jay-Z's music, and he is now trying to act like he is one to be approached when you are in search of REAL HIP-HOP. I have to agree with a lot of artists who say hip-hop died....the radio is playing garbage, everyone sounds the same with the auto-tune. It was cool at first, but now you don't even have to be talented, all you gotta do is groan into an auto-tune tube, and you have got a new radio "hit".
I want good music back!
i soooooooo feel you on this!!!!!
