New! Jay-Z - "D.O.A." (UPDATED) UNTAGGED CDQ


I usually like to wait until a high quality leak comes out, but there's so much anticipation behind this that I gotta let it go. Here is the premiere of Jay-Z's "DOA" (Death Of Autotune), the lead single off The Blueprint 3, courtesy of Hot 97, who just played it minutes ago. Production by Kanye and No ID. Of course, tagged up, low quality, but come on, it's The Blueprint 3. Sounds sick. Big thanks to Fuze. BP3 out September 11th.

So what's the word? Is autotune dead because Jay-Z said so? Remember when he tried to kill the skinny jeans fad? Two kids in the suburbs started wearing JNCOs again. Not that I think autotune is here to stay, or that it is in any way an essential part of hip-hop, but do we really want a 40 39 year old deciding the direction that this genre takes in the future? Then again, it is Jay-Z. So maybe we do. Just in case Hov is right, Lil Wayne better release Rebirth with the quickness.

UPDATED with slightly higher quality, longer rip. CDQ should be out this weekend:

Autotune sucks, but it's far from dead.

Autotune does not suck. Its just a new style of hiphop. A style that i actually like.

is Jay-Z still relevant?

acad. counselor said...

is Jay-Z still relevant? wtf kind of quest is that? The dude is as ubiquitous w/ not only hip hop but pop culture, like a Michael Jackson or Mike Jordan. Jay still lyrically runs laps around all of today's stars easily, and does so w/ out the use of bullshit gimmicks a la the route of g-unit/50 cent. Jay doesnt release bullshit beef tracks or engage in nonsene. You wont catch the dude on youtube or world start alking nonsense. He's about his money. He's not a business man He's a BUSINESS maaaaaan! Good looks confusion cant wait to bump this in the whip!

I don't think this song will kill auto tune itself. Might start a little rebellion.

@jon jon, Amen!

"You n*ggaz jeans are too tight. Your colors too bright. Your voice is too light..UH!"

Jay will always be relevant in hip hop and lyically he has been on his game. You can only do so much with autotune, and kanye already got as creative as you can with it. How the hell did T Pain start a hip hop craze anyway?
