No, it's not a pitchshifter. I use a pitchshifter on every Robe. song I've done and you can't replicate that sound unless you're hooked up to another effects pedal and someone is constantly moving the knob up and down on both pedals at the same time and you might come close. Even then, it'll be a different sound... this is trendy, hip, autotuned studio corrected bullshit.

Trying to think of a popular artist who have used a PITCHSHIFTER. I'm pretty sure Gwen Stefani has. That's all I can think of.

lemo wayne
lil waynemo

It will sound much like his rap output: wildly inconsistent, with moments of
"wow, that's something different and cool" mixed with moments of "is this guy
fucking seriously reciting the alphabet?"

His single sounds soooooooooooooo bad. Fucking hell, it sounds like he can't even keep a beat?

Yeah, the lyrics are reaaaally deep.

I can't even tell what the lyrics are in most of it. Something about sniffing your underwear or something. PROM QUEEN PROM QUEEN

i'm listening to that song for like the 10th time in a row.. still funny

Yeah, this will be a huge hit definitely. It's just so entertaining, you can't NOT listen.

Carter 2 is my favorite. Then Carter 3. Then a tie between Carter 1 and 500 Degreez.

I'm gonna stop reading this post. There's too many "haters" who made up their mind before listening for me to take anything seriously. Adam, I'm glad you at least gave it an honest listen. I'm out.

Haha.

Well, I give everything a chance if I can. I don't think it's conventionally good, and I hope the whole album doesn't sound like this but it's entertaining enough. That's all that matters. It's different. And the music is kinda catchy.

we had it all figured out, but we left you with a broken heart?

it's different from his rap stuff, but no different from anyone of a number of piddling middle of the road "hard rockers"

the only artist that rivals this song's lyrics = fukkin GOOD CHARLOTTE

Take a look at my life, all black
Take a look at my clothes, all black
Like Johnny Cash, all black
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black

and

Woah, misery my company
Woah, misery is looking for me

those can't be actual lyrics to any band's songs...... can they?

There was this one guy who had a song that went "let's jet set, be like the Jetsons, you can be Jane my wife, choke down Mary Jane tonight" but I can't remember that guy's name. Jason Mraz or some shit.

He's made a shit rap-rock single - it's hardly pushing the envelope, Metal Machine Music-style.

I didnt say it was. I said it was outside of his comfort zone. Are you denything that?

Like Kanye making an album of singing. Yes, singing has been done before. But not by Kanye. So it's trying something new (to the artist -- not to the world of music).

This is not what I hoped Wayne meant when he said he'd be trying some rock stuff... I really think that if he actually wants to experiment he should team up with someone who really knows what they are doing, like trent reznor.
Not idiots who think that loud guitars are what constitutes rock music.
The song kind of grew on me, but hold it up to a mili or any of his other recent singles and it just doesn't cut it.
Also.. where is the weezy spirit in this one? No bizaare wordplay, not a whole lot of personality.. all and all a dissapointment as a follow up to Tha Carter 3 (his masterpiece in my mind)

everything he has ever put out is a calculated persona, a costume, so this will be his "rock" costume.

i'm so amazed how people think of weezy like he's really an artist doing something different, an experimental artist even at that.

take tha carter III for example, if soulja boy or lil' jon had recorded that album, people would have fucking tear it up in a second, save "lollipop", "mr carter", the last track (if cut to half the lenght) and perhaps a third one; the rest of the album is easy listening rap songs with half assed hooks and the ones that aren't like that are shitty slick r&b with some rapping. BUT it's fucking lil' wayne, so he most be a godsend.

in truth, lil' wayne is just an mc with an amazing flow, sadly something not seen often in mainstream hip hop anymore. "a mili" couldn't have been pulled off by just anybody and he did it.

yet people think weezy is like fucking john cale or something, willing to try a noise/idm/math rock vein in his rock record.
