Maaan… didn’t wanna do this because it’s not exactly in the format… but on behalf of those who’ve had their fill of all this rampant robotic singing and rapping (whom I suspect, could also happen to love the ’90s)… gotta.

This was needed and necessary, because anyone coulda stepped up and addressed it, but niggas were takin’ too long. I just heard a new song yesterday by Mary J. Blige… yeah, MARY J. BLIGE, where even SHE’s using it. When artists who are seen as leaders are now following a trend YEARS after it became prominent, it’s time to call for a pulling of the plug. Besides, let’s be real: it’s peaked. There’s nowhere else for it to go. No one’s gonna make a career out of it like T-Pain did. No one’s gonna make a better album with it than ‘Ye did. No one’s gonna have a bigger single than Jamie Foxx just had with “Blame It”. Let’s move along…

HUGE Shout-Out to Jia for the link, in addition to the advice and assistance she’s given as far as this very site goes. No DJ, no drops, here we go:

Aight, back to the ’90s in a lil’ bit. More posse on the way… Butt In The Meantime, what’cha think of this?

-D!
