Jay z is a hater for sure. Maybe some one should call him out for making music that is disrespectful to women. What ever happened to congratulating people for their accomplishments?

Would ALL of you shut up with this “HATER” s**t!!! He’s not hating, he’s fighting for the integrity of the music by calling an end to the bulls**t. He’s one of the few who have a right to do it. No NY artist should be doing that autotune s**t anyway. That’s the problem with Rap in NY, niggas ain’t got no direction no more. Now it’s follow what’s hot. F**K AUTOTUNE!!! As an engineer, producer, and artist, I’ll let it be known that Melodyne is better anyway. Now, Jimmy, go learn how to twist and misuse that program to eat. If you want to keep the money you make, stop lining the walls of your studio with fake louis vitton leather and make some real music in it.lol

Don’t knock Jay’s hustle. D.O.A is gonna help that album sell. People will buy what they like and even though some may feel Jay-Z has a valid point if they like the autotune music they will keep buying it.

Autotune was on the way out anyway like spinning rims.

jay has a valied point whatever happen 2 being yourself like the 80″s early 90′s that’s the point he’s making by calling auto-tune dead.!

jim jones is what and who?his form of music is trash like his voice but what the heck does he talk about nothing..jay does have to hate he got more doe then all of there asses so why would he hate more like stating facts.auto tune is crap, a monkey do monkey see situation.

Jay is 39 years old…Auto-tuning is not for his generation…no offense, but my dad is close to that age and doesn’t like much new hip-hop either. The only thing I don’t like is that he “ok’d” certain artist like Kanye and T-Pain for using it…it’s either you like it, or you don’t!

Jay just said what just about everyone is thinking, I am autotuned out, I hate it, look at the great artist who use it like Kanye,Lil’Wayne,R.Kelly,
they all used it and lost what made them what they are, they just spit and now all you here is autotune, Jay aint knockin’ noones hustle he’s real talk!

Artist OD’ed on Auto-tune! Jay just said what everybody was thinking. Jones sound like he just make an Auto-Tune record now he got to scrap it and try again, lol! Jay didnt say it was acceptable for Kanye and T-Pain, he said their tracks would have been hot without it because they still had good melodies. Jay’s gripe, as well as mine, is that people take a whack track and auto-tune it up and think its hot music…….its not!!!! Lots of artist have been using it for years but in moderation.

never like autotones anyways every damn body sounds the same… but who cares what i think i’m a BOOTLEGGER! LMAO

These fools have to realize, its their lack of creativity that’s really knocking their hustle!!

Auto-tune sucks ass. Period. It was ok when Roger Troutman used it in the 80s but its gotten outta hand. Lil Wane sounds like a b***h using it. All i hear is robotic grunts and moans when i hear him. It is destroying music and overshadowing REAL talent. And if using it makes a hit then damn near ANYONE can use it cause all you will really need is a good beat.

Death to Autotune is for those cats that have no talent and are using the trend to fit in. Autotune is used to correct notes, but that shyt is useless if u have wack melodies. cant hide the wack shyt forever. Hov just pointed out some wolves in sheeps clothing, they were gonna be exposed eventually.

man jim jones is right all jay-z is doing is tryin to sell a song off the trend of autotone tune .jumping on the bend wagon at the end . becuse people are fedup with autotone and jayz sees that ; and is like well hay i can make money of off that . its not that he’s a all high and might rap guru tryin to say lets stay creative . he’s just tryin to make a quic buck while bigging up his name .

JIM JONES NEEDS TO LEVE JAY Z ALONE…I THINK THAT HE WANTS TO BE JAY Z…THE AUTOTUNE S**T IS WACK AFTER ROGER AND T-PAIN…POINT BLANK LAME ASS JIM JONES….

Jim Jones is sorry anyways. T-Pain is even gonna stop using it because he knows its getting old. If u have to use Autotune then ur not as good as u think u are. Jay-Z delivered in the new song. “NA-NA NA NA HEY HEY HEY GOOD BYE”

Boo@ Jim Jones…All J is tryna get rappers to do is to step up theyre rap game and stop relyin on machines to make them money but to use they’re rappin skills!

If Jim Jones don’t go seat down and beat it!! I do not like him and auto tune is soooo damn stupid and played out now! Jay is just voicing his opinion…Jim Jones is such a hater!

JAYZ is the lamest nigga since Vanilla Ice

In my humbledd opinion, Jay Z is a wacked sounding rapper; I have never been impressed with him. I like 2Pac, 50 cents and his G Unit posse, Biggie, Scarface, the Geto Boys, Spice 1, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Whodini. I am neither impressed with Jim Jones, Fat Joe nor Ric Ross.

Yo I seen those first few comments…. this nigguhz is disrespecting Jay.. Face it b.. That auto tune bulls**t is gay when it comes to rap… It don’t belong in hiphop

I used to like Jim Jones, but he be the main one tryna spit on somebody else sh*t and make it seem like HE is responsible for a hit record! He is auto-tuned outta there and if it wasnt for his beats…HE BE A LAME ALSO!!! RESPECT THE KING… Bring back the true talents of Hip Hop.

On the real, Jay-z and his wife are supposed to be legends,Untouchable, on a higher level than the new generation,But they stay trying to keep up with those new people out there, don’t be surprised when they come out swinging,T-pain and them are sitting somewhere waiting for jay-z to make the wrong move and it’s going to be over, I will be damn if i give a person younger than i am the opportunity to disrespect me… I don’t know man, he is 40 something and still on some bulls**t…

ayo f**k all yall niggas try na hate on my nigga jigga! yo real talk aint nobody in the history of hip hop got word play like jigga who the f**k is jim jones that b***h ass nigga dont even write mijority of his s**t max b wrote and created all them niggas talk jimmy is its about somebody say something about all that wack music these mutha f**kas makin dudes barely go platnum now a days f**k that death to autotone we killing that s**t like how my parents killed disco n thats all yall b***h ass niggas bow down n say hova hova

Did u compare t-pain to Jay z wtf you need yo ass whooped to even saying some dumb s**t like dat!!!

This is all I have to say about this subject, Jay-Z shouldn’t have wasted his time even addressing this issue seeming that you believe there is no one in your league. Don’t start being the new 50 cent.

Music grows and grows each fruit from the tree of music is different..Autotune is another fruit that grew from the same tree of music. Hip Hop only dies when we stop listening to it. Hip Hop now is not the same as it was when Jay-Z was young. As well, it was not the same for the old heads in the Rap game trying to stay fresh when the younger artist like Jay-z came out in the 90′s with the fading 80′s rap music

Jay is done and all u sheeple following along with jays hate campaign autotune isn’t dead u are dead for not making your own decisions and letting jay_z an old faded ass rapper think fro you all u mutha f**kaz on hurr takin jigga side know u love blame it on the alcohol and forever and every other autotune hit,like I said jigga aint had a club banger in years so he mad just fall back homie ja rule did mase did this niggas hella old 42 in rapper years that’s 80 my moms 52 and im 23 that niggas ancient he was born in 69 they didn’t even have calculators back then,ol head that nigga seanile

“Rockwilder” You are not talking to me are you ?

hey, Jayz just telling like it is…he’s tired, and we are all tired to hear the auto tunes..somebody gotta say something..so if thats talking about u…get over it and make it change

auto-tune is good for one or MAYBE 2 songs on an album. But only ONE or TWO artists should do it. Hip Hop is a genre that CREATES its own style. Hip Hop artists are a group of individuals who create their OWN STYLE with the INSPIRATION of another artist.

For Example, hip hop remixes many beats from the old days. But then again, ALL MUSIC takes ideas from OTHER ARTISTS. Like ELVIS took credit for some s**t that a BLACK MAN DID..(watch the movie cadillac records), while others did the same. HIP HOP is just another form of music that utitlizes the sound of ANOTHER ARTIST with their own little TWIST…

HOWEVER………HIP HOP is CREATIVITY AS WELL. Meaning you CREATE YOUR OWN S**T FOR OTHER FOLKS TO BE INSPIRED BY YOU. So since the ORIGINAL AUTO-TUNERS were ZAP and ROGER…its a kind JESTER to utilize their IDEA but for only a FEW SONGS……not your WHOLE ALBUM..COUGH..KANYE…or RON BROWS or er’body else that keep making their WHOLE ALBUMS AUTO TUNES.

And I agree with JAY-Z, that auto tune s**t is wack. SO am I A HATER? I’m not KNOCKING THE HUSTLE…….but I REFUSE to let a muhf**ka HUSTLE ME INTO BUYING A BULLS**T ALBUM THATS entirely AUTO TUNED UP. F**K THAT…call me a hater….but I aint spending my money….NOR WILL I EVEN DOWNLOAD the s**t off LIMEWIRE.

I REFUSE TO EVEN STEAL A SONG thats been AUTO TUNED…now….what you have to say about that JIMMY? Does that make me (THE CONSUMER…THE FAN) a hater? I wont buy it, nor will I EVEN DOWNLOAD THE S**T…because I f**king hate the sound of a computerized voice. if I wanna hear that I can pop in some ZAP & ROGER…which sound way better than this s**t today. SO WHAT..JAY-Z HATES auto tune…I’m not a BIG JAY-Z fan myself, but I do AGREE with him…and I’M A CONSUMER who goes out and buys CDs.

WE THE PEOPLE have a right to complain because WE THE PEOPLE SPEND OUR HARD EARNED SLUMMPED ECONOMY DRIVEN MONEY on this bulls**t MUSIC so the least yall can do is rap about some meaningful s**t…..or if not meanginful……come up with some CLEVER RHYMES worth listening to…….but that AUTO TUNE S**T GOTTA GO. And dont be alarmed rappers and singers…….I WONT EVEN DOWNLOAD YOUR BULLS**T FOR FREE OFF LIMEWIRE….NOR WILL I EVEM BUY IT….so that says a lot. There are MORE PEOPLE in the U.S. that agree they just can’t COMMENT on BP, but believe me, when albums sales begin to DROP I PUT MONEY ON IT that yall MOFOS will stop that AUTO TUNE BULLS**T……just watch!!

it’s sad but none of yall realized that autotune was Black Street’s only way that they could make hits. Or do yall not remember No Digitty?? at that time Sisquo was going HARD as hell with the auto tune Jay only pointed out that it was getting “redundant” too many people saw it as a money maker and was saturating the market with it if Jim Jones wanna call hate he should start to point fingers at the cats that dont have originality and just simply hopped on the band wagon and deciced to “get some of that auto tune money” Jay may be/look like a hater but hell sometimes it aint hate sometimes it’s the truth

Jayz was just voicing his opinion. Who hasn’t done that b4. To be honest the whole Autotune thing IS getting old, Jay is right. They’ve been doing it for a while now and Jay simply pointed out that he’d like to see something new. He never dissed anybody. If people like Jim Jones have their thongs that twisted up behind what Jay said, then maybe they are who he was referring to and need to switch their style up! Jay is a vet in this game and his opinion does matter but it’s not the only opinion in this game.

Just leave the Autotune to T-Pain, no one can do it better!

why does it take jay-z for everyone to agree that autotune is a bad idea? t-pain is his own, so you can’t hate on his hustle; kanye used it to be expressive…sorta…and it worked. everyone else sucked at it and just needed to leave it alone. but what is wrong with me feeling this notion years ago? now it’s okay to not like autotune just cause jay says so? …followers…

Damn Jim angry Jay-Z is better then you in just about everything if you was a real true to the game rapper you would not be acting like a F**KING c**t and just do what you do and not let him get you down don’t get mad just because you got called out for being just another “Flavor of the Month rapper” and everything Jay-Z touches is a hit or maybe you could ask Eminem “money money money nigga and suck a dick to”

J-Z (snoring0 is a hater. he thinks he’s this big mogul and if he’s not making the money, he feels no one should. It’s all about greed and egos and as anyone can tell you. J-Snore has a big ego and a smaller——HJ-Z is not one of the Black Elite that he thinks he is….I mean come on…He brainwashed that little gurl b…..lol He’s a weak azz, typical you know what…..Hell_ —his music is as weak as Diddy’s……..

Someone tell Jim Jones to shut up…I’m tired of hearing the “We makin money” line to justify a lack of creativity.

As for Autotune, it was a fad that is slowly diminishing. These cats who are using Autotune found a quick easy way to be uncreative, and this fad will just be replace by another uncreative way of making songs that are catchy and make money.

Jim Jones sounds like Soulja Boy getting mad at Nas for saying Hip-Hop is dead, when it clearly is and has been for a while. Well, I guess Jim Jones actually just looks for any reason to attack Jay. I don’t know, but he seems like the hater to me.

Jim Jones need to quit it. He better stop right now before Jay puts his career to rest… its gonna be (D.O.J). He’s such a clown. Before he come out with saying anything about “D.O.A. he needs to be kissing KILLA’S butt for his fame and selling out the dipset movement. Jim Jones your next, ya dig?

autotune is whack and needs to die…jim jones is whack and needs to die (musically) jay is a legend.

he aint knockin nobodys hustle. if ya call dat gayass autotune s**t a hustle then ya suck already so try sumpin new or quit da game. ya dint listen when jay said it wuznt nuttin personal he jus sicka da trend. evrabody else iz 2, bsidez jim an a few othaz.

hey,the way i feel,its to each its on.both lyricist know how to make their money off of they music.you already have people downloading music and bootleggers,you might as well stop it all.but then again,who needs autotune anyway!

Jay kept it 100 step your bars up jones. Brooklyn we go hard!!!!!

jay z a hater?? for speaking his mind? honestly jim jones Kill Your Self.. look at your self n look at jay z.. maybe if u wasnt fake you could be like em LOL instead of calling somebody that gets more paper then you a hater… this is why nas said hip hop is dead.. wtf u think he meant? if u be real you a hater? so i guess im a hater if i sed f*ck u b*tch as n*gga??

knockin whose hustle? man, autotune is over..it had it’s time to shine && now it needs to go back..jay killed D.O.A..he just mad cuz he aint had a hit since BALLIN !!

Man, thjose cats arecheating the fans…you can’t do the autotune live, so when these folks(including Lil Wayne) preform live, it sounds like hot azz garbage!! LEARN MUSIC!! Learn how to play, make up your dayum mind if you’re going to rap, or sing and if you’re going to do both, do them well!! The fans are the ones who get screwed in this…

Haterz. simply put. U don’t like it change the station/track/cd artist you are listening to. Brothas is MAKING MONEY y f that up? Don s**t tho because they(Byrdgang n the Family) disrepects him and he doesn’t need the money. Do a Better Autotune Track if everything else is wack. TIGHTEN UP. JAY DID AUTOTUNE TRACKS TOO!!! The feezy?!? (a tad bit lil haterish from the big boss homie) And his s**t was dope too. I like autotunes it makes for a good melody and the s**t sounds hot cuz half the world was POPPIN CHAMPAGNE don’t act like u wasn’t…be real with yourself first!!

correction: someone might have autotuned a previous verse of his and it had sounded dope on a new song (they blended him in) I listened again and I don’t think it was an original verse. So please overlook the hypocritical aspect of my previous post..

Jim Jones is a hater cuz he wack!

you like what you like you a leader or a follower you tell me

D.O.A.!!!!!!!!!!!! Jones you sexy but you LOSE! Jay was saying what I’ve been saying since Ron Browz jumped out the window …. He need to take autotune with him. I’m out Tweezy!

man f**k jay-z we dont respect dat nigga on the bottom of the map

U KNW WHAT F JAY-Z! LET OTHERS EAT 2, STOP BEING GREEDY JAY! ITS ENOUGH WE AS PEOPLE ALREADY STRUGGLING WITHOUT OUR OWN HATIN & THIS LADIES AND GENTS IS REAL TALK!

call it what you want…jay is tellin the truth, damn let t-pain do dat…everybody sounding the same is killin the game, but on some real…roger troutman should come back to life and whoop all dey ass!!! keep it original, be creative!!

back in da days you could never say LL SOUNDED LIKE BIG DADDY KANE OR NWA SOUNDED LIKE WU-TANG OR BIGGIE SOUNDED LIKE PAC…EVERYBODY HAD THEIR OWN IDENTITY, NOW ITS HARD TO TELL WHO’S WHO… T-PAIN BROUGHT AUTOTUNE BACK AND WAS THE ONLY ONE DOIN IT AND HE BLEW UP, NOW YOU GOT ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE TRYNA DO IT…AINT NOTHIN ORIGINAL ABOUT COPYING DA NEXT MAN

WHY DO’S ANYBODY CARE WHAT JAY-Z SAYS?.I USED TO LIKE HIS MUSIC UNTIL HE WAS EXPOSED BY HIS EX PARTNER IN CRIME, AND ALL THT “REAL BALLERS AND GANGSTERS” FROM MARCY AS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER HE CREATED HIMSELF.
TRIPLE OG “BABY BELL”

I DON’T THINK JAY-Z IS STOPPING ANYONE FROM EATING
PEOPLE ARE GETTING SICK OF THE WHOLE AUTOTUNE S**T..TRY SOMETHING ELSE
ALTHOUGH T-PAIN WOULDN’T BE S**T WITHOUT IT
IF YOU CAN’T MAKE MONEY WITHOUT ALTERING YOUR VOICE MAYBE YOU NEED A NEW PROFESSION

Jim Jones needs to sit his smelly looking as down because he hasn’t been right since Dip set disbanded years ago!
Damn Jimmy! just become a mechanic or some s**t. go somewhere and clean yourself up LOL!

HAHAHA JIM JONES ARE U FOCKIN SERIOUS TO TALK THAT STUPID DAMMNNN I GUESS UR NEW ALBUM WAS ALL AUTO TUNED HAHAHA GO BACK TO THE STUDIO AND GIVE US SOME REAL HIP HOP IF YOU WANNA KEEP THAT BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLING STATUS HAHAHA

Is just the classic conflict of people who respect the culure of hip hop and try to preserve it and the prostitues in the business who continue to try drag it down.

it is our fault as the consumer people are making music that sound alike trying to get a quick buck, because nobody buys c.d.’s anymore, so they have to get there money any way they can, if your a actual musician, you know in order to get the best tracks and the best sound, you have to pay top dollars, and if your paying top dollar, and nobodys buying, you the artist are f**ked, producer fees, studio fees, record company, managers, and so on and so on have to get there cut, which by the time the artist gets his, he either has very little or nothing left because nobodys buying anything, so i think some artist are forced to go with the quick hit aka ring tone money, cause at least people buy them, so i think everybody complaining, if you want better music, then support the artist

Just think when we hit our 50′s and 60′ a child says after hearing auto tune, ” what *$#@!& was listening to?!” what would ya response be??? (after reachin ova to smack them for cursing)…I don’t know either?! smh!

Jay-z is like a Major store and his competion Is alot of Minor stores (other artist wit less success) they are sale-n there product (auto-tunes) and cuttin into business of the Major store…what do you do? you kill the Lil stores Product and thus force them to change product or out of business…. http://www.myspace.com/criticalflatline2

all i gotta say is come with hot material auto tune hustle was tpain all the rest are like all other rappers running with somebody elses nitch copying get ya own style why u think people say everybody soundin the same n tha game it shouldnt be jones sayin he knockin the hustle it should be tpain sayin stop bitin my S**t nobody Could Do It Like Roger Tho

I feel u. Jay-Z is just tryin to tell these young cats that all music aint good music and just because someone calls them self a rapper(jim jones) don’t mean they are one. Bring hip hop music back to life with originallity
