my cat was very interested in this video. then very annoyed by this video.
My wife was only annoyed.
Autotuning a cat has been done before and even in a more fun way than the OP’s example - Enjoy in all it’s glory
Exactly the same thing here. Even autotuned, he knew it was catlike.
Even if autotuned, it’s still not cute at 5 in the morning.
Also: shades of a Hammond B3
… not a bad thing per se…
Autotuning needs to die in a fire. Post Malone should carry out the deed ala Gollum and the one ring. I think T-Pain is the one person allowed to keep using it because it was his thing a long time ago.
I know this next statement is going to make me sound old but - that is one of the big reasons so much modern rap is awful. Yeah, we are going to take our uninspired, blase beats, your uninspired, repetitive lyrics which could be swapped out by any one of your other songs and no one would notice, and some how make your mumbly, tone deaf voice worse with autotune.
It’s an over used crutch and I am honestly surprised it has lasted as long as it has. I mean even hair metal died eventually.
The cat swallowed a harmonica. I’m not sure what the dog ate, but it was some kind of woodwind.
Ok, gramps…
Hey.
But… how do sharks like it?

Agreed! It’s the reason I can’t go to most workout dance classes.

My cat woke up with a start.
Just came here to say “Nope”, not watching this video.
Yup.
A proof for your thesis:
Does not include autotuning, but highlights some of the repetitive nature.
Yes, to be fair, rap isn’t the only genre full of repetitive dreck.
Maybe kitty should be renamed Cat.I.Am
