I am fucking tired of hearing people trash on Kanye’s new album (808’s and Heartbreak) because he can’t sing.  No he can’t sing, would you rather here him struggle without the auto-tuner?  It would sound like Carl Lewis singing the national anthem at a Nets game (BAD).  Get off his back.  I have a hard time imagining what else he could of done besides using the auto-tuner robot voice.  Maybe have someone else sing?  But why would he let someone else sing these songs, they’re his and they’re personal.  I think it’s fair to say you don’t like the album, some of the lyrics are pretty childish but to compare Kanye to Ashley Simpson is bullshit.
