Young Jeezy feat. Kanye West: I Put On

by Chad Jordan, July 21, 2008

Young Jeezy unveiled his ode to his city “I Put On” sometime ago. The track became an instant hit on the internet and continues to get major airplay on the radio. The real star here is Kanye’s show stealing emotional auto tune verse that handcuffs the later part of the track. The video has finally been released with the standard slow motion cinematography and swagger to spare.

    Well, johan3sixteen, if you were speaking to when you gave the Hip Hop history lesson above when saying that, “Talk boxes have been used for two decades in hip-hop (California Love by Dre & Tupac, for example). Just because T-Pain has overused the effect doesn’t it make it HIS style.” then you have wasted you time. I am very educated in the history of Hip Hop as well as the current state of the game. I am writer for GroudUpHipHop.com, music is what I do. Talk boxes have been years for about 45 years. They have been used by Rock N’ Roll artists, Soul artists, Funk artists and almost every other type of artist you can think of… My comment referring to T-Pain making it “his” style was exactly that. Tupac, Dre, Parliament, etc. have all used the talk and T-Pain is the only one that is 100% synonymous with it. He has without a doubt utilized it better then anyone before him and made more money using it then anyone before him, thus making it “his” style. And, to clear the air, I am not even a fan of his music. I enjoy some of his songs and melodies but I am not a fan.

    Talk boxes have been used for two decades in hip-hop (California Love by Dre & Tupac, for example). Just because T-Pain has overused the effect doesn’t it make it HIS style. He’s pigeon holed the sound of his voice so that he can’t put out a record without it. More and more artists are using it as of late because it is selling records, and that’s what counts at the end of the day.

    ^Haha! Word! Richay14, you can tell your only 14… Anyway, Kanye West killed this track. He is always pushin’ the game to new heights. Granted, T-Pain has taken this style and made it his, quote un-quote, but Kanye West delivered. His content was superb, his delivery is un-matched by many and his performance is fitting. I think “Subculture” said it best in the introduction to the video, “The real star here is Kanye’s show stealing emotional auto tune verse that handcuffs the later part of the track.”
