Jay-Z, “D.O.A. [Death of Auto-Tune]"

After trying his hand at a corporate job as CEO of Def Jam Records, Jay-Z returns to the mic to do what he does best.  "D.O.A." or "Death of Auto-Tune" is Young Hova's call for the demise of the popular (and over-used) voice processor. After seeing a commercial for a popular fast-food chain utilizing Auto-Tune, the rapper had all the inspiration he needed to issue his death warrant.

With veteran producer NO I.D. on production, the track is a hectic, junkyard band stomper. Jay hasn't lost any form with lines like "Y'all n****s singin' too much/Get back to rap, you T-Painin' too much/I'm a multi-millionaire/so how is it i'm the hardest n***a here?"  He also calls out rappers that "wear their jeans too tight, colors too bright and voice too light." Sound like anyone you know? It probably isn't him, since they're friends, but you can't deny the similarities.
