AutoTune owned

December 10, 2008

Especially in light of my opinion of 808s & Heartbreaks, this free download is like a gift from the heavens. The remix of Nothin But A G Thing is pure genius. Tribe and Busta AutoTuned has to be heard to appreciate how terrible the effect really is. Evidently, I’m not the only one awaiting the […]
