Shameless autotuning.
- Kanye West is The New York Times: Critically acclaimed, and even though people like to shit on him, he really does do good work.
- Jay-Z is the Wall Street Journal: Basically hasn’t changed for the last 10 years. All content is behind a paywall. “I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man!”
- T-Pain is Buzzfeed: A repetoire full of club hits, but there’s actually some substance under all that autotune.
- Common is NPR: Socially conscious with cultural impact, especially among youths. All about engagement.
- The Game is The Washington Post: A major player on the national stage, but all about reppin’ his city. Old school.
- Kendrick is Quartz: Excellent newcomer a couple years ago that had everybody talking.
- Fetty Wap is The Awl: Doesn’t give a fuck what other people think, does things their own way. Cranks out hit single after hit single, all the while making asymmetry look dope.
- Macklemore is the Seattle Times: Seattle about sums it up.
