bandz ahoy
Some of my favourite rap tunes of this year have been Future-aping auto-tune tunes like the following:
Rich Homie Quan - Type Of Way (2013)
Lil Durk - Dis Ain't What U Want (2013)
And obviously the king himself keeps doing it best
Future - Honest (2013)
Future - Keep On Shinin' (2013)
Now I guess the autotune phenomenon in rap music came about via Kanye and Wayne, but this whole raft of imitators in 2013 are probably direct descendants of Future. All of this stuff really reminds me of Movado, too - and I suppose there's a similar principle of melodicism meets gangsta credentials here. You can get away with singing AND being a thug if the singing is machine-generated.
