Talkbox >> Auto-Tune

So I listened to Jamie Foxx's "Intuition" and I don't think the album is as enjoyable as "Unpredictable". BUT there is one track on there that shines more than the rest and is Jamie at his best. "Freak'in Me" is probably his best track on the whole album. I'm a huge R&B head if you don't know so I think he should've had more tracks like this on the album. Now, my point for this is that at the intro to this song there was a little auto-tuning going on but it doesn't sound like some mediocre T-Pain vocals. The way they used it is how it should be used. Not to make you sound like some high pitched chipmunk like some rappers are using or should I say over-using. What they were doing souded more like the talkbox which if you're from Dayton you know what it is and who used it. Roger Troutman was the pioneer of the talkbox and I hate that rappers are using his mechanics in these garbage songs. Roger made good quality songs and T-Pain should pay homage to the man. I mean the man made "Computer Love", "I Wanna Be Your Man", and was an influence on Dr. Dre, who had acquired him to do "California Love". Babies were conceived to his songs and do you think the same can be said about some of the songs out now? It's already bad enough that Dayton artists aren't looked at as serious as we should be. Here are some classics to show you what I mean.

Roger Troutman - Computer Love
Zapp - Slow & Easy
Johnny Gill (Featuring Roger Troutman) - It's Your Body
Keith Sweat (Featuring Roger Troutman) - Put Your Body To The Test

Download those songs and then you decide.
