look, i don't mean to come out here and get all fussy, but you guys are jerks, ok? seriously.
what am i talking about? oh i'll tell you:
sweet brown. this woman's building burned down, but she survived. good for her! and how do we all know her?
"ain't nobody got time fo dat!"
well, way to go folks. you've reduced this lady to a catchphrase.
antoine dodson - people in the man's neighbourhood are getting raped...and we get:
"hide yo wife, hide yo kids, blah blah."
and it's all autotuned. WHY everyone in america has suddenly decided that autotune makes everything funny i am not sure.
and now charles ramsey. he helped three women escape ten year captivity. he publicly said he needed no reward. what a guy!
but sure enough, within a day he's gotten the autotune treatment.
i'm not going to belabour the point here. i'm going to put two things out there to consider and then call it a day:
first off, i know some will say "hey, they're fine with it! we're laughing with them! they enjoy the attention!"
in other words, "no teacher, we weren't fighting, we're just talking, real nice like? he likes it, see, he's ok right? sure you are buddy." it's condescension and then some...
and secondly, if a 56 year old white female office manager had helped rescue those women, or a 36 year old white male's neighbourhood had a rapist running loose, i am fairly willing to bet that they would not get the autotune treatment.
so look, quit being jerks. and quit autotuning stuff. unless you're ke$ha, in which case carry on!
