Replying to Ok... Enough with the voicebox.

Why is this taking over the rap/hip-hop industry.  I'm not going to lie.  T-Pain is awesome with it, and it's his signature.  Yeah I know, T-pain can't sing that well without it, but his voice works really well with it.  If you put him on the hook, the song is sure to make the charts.  But 50 Cent and Lil Wayne now?

Those aren't the normal sick lyrics we heard from weezy.  It's lacking, and Lil Wayne's voice has been going to shit anyway in my opinion.  Like yeah he sounded hard as fuck before, because it was raspy, but now I really think he might cough up a lung or something on stage.  Word of the street is he's been doing a TON of blow.  The voicebox makes him sound better, but it's still weird.

This R. Kelly track isn't too bad with it.  R. Kelly has a good voice to begin with, and he doesn't use it during the duration of the song.  Just for a little flare.

but the song is kinda gay.  Maybe a remix will be better.

I just think it's retarded all these guys are using it.  It's kinda cool.  But like always mainstream has played something out again, and ruined a good thing.
