The Rapper Who Uses Auto Tune

Oct 13, 2018 From T-Pain to Travis Scott: The Rap Auto-Tune Spectrum. But something is lost when I hear it filtering Matt Ox’s voice and every other rapper who thinks it’s a one-way ticket to mass. The chorusing effect created afterwards is unnoticable but decidedly more in tune than if left uneffected. To name every artist that uses it is impossible. Many times its done in post production and even the artist themself may be unaware that the engineer employed the use of auto tune. I never said that artists only use auto tune because they think their voice is awkward, I also said that they use it to help create their art, Travis is a perfect example of an Artist who uses. Nov 29, 2010  The chorusing effect created afterwards is unnoticable but decidedly more in tune than if left uneffected. To name every artist that uses it is impossible. Many times its done in post production and even the artist themself may be unaware that the engineer employed the use of auto tune.

Yeesh!!! What is this huge obsession with Autotune nowadays? Even talented singers use it and destroy their voices!!!

The Top Ten Singers with Too Much Autotune

1Will.I.Amwill.i.am is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, and actor known for being the lead vocalist in The Black Eyed Peas. He was born in Los Angeles, California. He has released several solo albums such as 'Songs About Girls' and 'Will Power' .

Ugh, can't stand the Black Eyed Peas. He abuses te crap out of autotune and the latest music trend. - DCfnaf

How could you forget this guy? this guy uses loads of Autotune in a horrible way - christangrant

It's so noticeable! He just uses autotune too much! - TheFourthWorld

All the members of the Black Eyed Peas, actually. - Misfire

2Jacob SartoriusRolf Jacob Sartorius (known by his middle name), born October 2, 2002, is an American singer and internet personality, who rose to fame via social media from posting lip-syncing videos on musical.ly and his Vines (on Vine). In 2016, he released his debut single 'Sweatshirt', which reached the Hot 100 ...read more.

Someone please change that ugly image. Nevermind it changed back - ElSherlock

He should be in first place. Watch his music video for 'Sweatshirt' and then compare that to his real voice. The autotune is so bad that he sounds like a robot. He can't sing! - olliv

Autotune Sartorius is what he should be called. - CommunismNow

So cheesy and squeaky! Really ear-piercing.

3Future

Just listen his voice in Endgame of Tay Tay. Although I like it in the context of this song, it's pretty bad.

I'm mixed on autotune, the type of songs you have depends, trap (which is guiltily one of my favorite genres) suits autotune the most.
Fetty Wap is awesome and uses A LOT of autotune and can be really fun to listen to.
Future is from the exact same genre but he is pretty boring and lazy. So overall, it depends on the user. - AlphaQ

4Paris HiltonParis Whitney Hilton is an American businesswoman, socialite, television personality, model, actress, singer, DJ, and author.

She sounds like a whiny robot when she sings. Her singing is some of the worst I've ever heard. - DCfnaf

Duh, of course she is number one she sounds like a horny robot. - DaisyandRosalina

She's a fake Barbie doll in general, so the awful autotuned singing fits her. - Elric-san

5Ke$haKesha Rose Sebert (formerly known as Ke$ha) was born on March 1st, 1987 in Los Angeles, United States. She is best known for her hits like Timber, Tik Tok, and We R Who We R. ...read more.

Lol I know her older songs were at least 20% autotune, but it seemed more of like a stylistic choice rather than a 'I am talentless so I use this much auto-tune'. While I definitely don't think she is the best natural singer ever, her new album Rainbow is nothing like her old stuff and she actually shows she has real raw talent. So yeah lol, be kind to my Kesha baby! - Twixx

I notice that Ke$ha is just one of those 'talk singers' who puts no effort into their music. She basically just speaks into the microphone and then chooses to let autotune take care of the rest. This is evident when she sings live and does a poor job. - DCfnaf

If you think she can't sing, listen to 'The Harold Song.' It is pretty good. But she does use way too much autotune in her popular stuff. - 445956

Basically she talks and autotune does the rest. - DaisyandRosalina

6Lil WayneDwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian 'Baby' 'Birdman' Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. In the years to follow, he would go on to find his own ...read more.

He uses way too much autotune. He is literally abusing it. His rapping and lyrics don’t make up for that either. - Userguy44

Lil' Wayne is using autotune in his rock-oriented album...but it doesn't work. We can tell that he has no talent whatsoever. - DCfnaf

Listen to How to Love. I apologize for the pain in advance. - cjWriter1997

He sounds weird with autotune - ElSherlock

7Submarine ManWater Handblast (born Ardy Robert Andrews) better known by his name Submarine Man, is an American rapper known for his songs that heavily feature lyrics about foot fetishes as well as heavily autotuned vocals.

He is so hard to understand that some of his songs are not available on any lyric websites.

He's not even a real music artist, he's supposed to be terrible. - DaWyteNight

Imagine taking this guy seriously

This guy is a joke artist - ElSherlock

8Travis ScottJacques Webster, better known by his stage name Travis Scott, is an American hip hop recording artist, record producer and musician from Houston, Texas.

Love him or hate him, he created one of the most iconic albums of the 2010s

Britney SpearsBritney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer and actress who was born in McComb, Mississippi, and grew up in Kentwood, Louisiana. She performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows like 'The Mickey Mouse Club' as a child before signing with Jive Records in 1997 ...read more.

It's honestly not Britney's fault for her using autotune. When she was young, she used to have a 'baby voice', but she has became older and her vocals are getting deeper. That's why she isn't live all the time. #FreeBritney - Bizcut4life

Some Top 40 artists have catchy, maybe even iconic, songs. I cannot think of a single Britney song I like. - RubyParagon

She wasn't bad, but she completely wasted her natural vocals with her 'particular' tone and autotune. - DaisyandRosalina

When 'Womanizer' came on in the car, I was yelling at my mom to switch it, and for some stupid reason she told me it was good and stayed at the station. Thankfully we only listen to the claswic alternative station. - 445956

He is best known for his singles such as 'Whatcha Say', 'Ridin' Solo', 'In My Head', 'What If', 'Wiggle', 'Talk Dirty', 'Trumpets' and 'Want To Want ...read more.

Such a talentless man, I mean, I remember listening to 'It girl' in 2011 and that sounded good, but nowadays... Damn, it is really really bad and each time worse. All that I can ask is how somebody like this has even been called to sing live at BBC's Live Lounge for exemple.

He can actually sing without it and sounds much better so it's a shame that he uses it so much. - DaWyteNight

The Contenders

11Eric BellingerEric Bellinger, Jr., born March 26, 1986, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer from Los Angeles, California.

Selena Gomez's voice is mezzo-soprano but she usually sings in alto. She is best known for her role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place.

She is one of the worst vocalists of our generation, she is just whispering. - DaisyandRosalina

'Without autotune, Selena Gomez sounds like she's trying to teach a goat how to talk'

She already sounds good with her real voice but for some reason she ruins it by using autotune lol

She can't sing without autotune - ElSherlock

She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and has 4 octaves. She became a teen idol starring as the ...read more.

Why does Miley Cyrus use such terrible autotune in her songs? She actually has a very talented voice, yet she wastes it for a fabricated media image and an uncontrollable butt and tongue as well as some alien-like autotune. - DCfnaf

She used too much autotune. Please, do not waste your talent. - MChkflaguard_Yt

She stopped using it - ElSherlock

Autotuned? Yes. But with too much autotune? No, she still can sing live. - DaisyandRosalina

She can sing, the problem is she covers her singing voice with the tech and that makes her sound like an alien. - DCfnaf

15QuavoQuavious Keyate Marshall, known professionally as Quavo, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known as a member of the rap trio Migos.

He uses loads of autotune and that's one reason why pretty much all of his songs are awful his only descent song is Got Me Runnin Around but that's with Nickelback and their part in the song is the good part the Flo Rida part is awful and ruins the song - christangrant

T-Pain is the king of autotune, and uses it so much in his songs that he sounds like a robot.

Believe it or not, T-Pain sounds amazing without Auto-Tune. I can assume he wasted his talent with Auto-Tune. - Mumbizz01

He sounds better without autotune - ElSherlock

He is the king of autotune. He is so autotuned that his voice sounds unrealistic. He can actually sing without autotune, I saw a performance of him without it and he sounds better.

32Amy LeeAmy Lynn Hartzler, known professionally as Amy Lee, is an American singer-songwriter, classically trained pianist and composer. She is also the lead singer to the Arkansas band Evanescence.

On Fallen and in some parts of the self-titled album she used Autotune, however in The Open Door the vocals were not Autotuned or pitch corrected at all, there was an interview with the producer where he confirmed that. On Synthesis some pitch correction was used but no actual Autotune was used.
The reason she sounds different live than on the albums is because she actually sings live- most singers lip sync to a backing track instead of actually singing live, but Amy's live performances are actually live hence why they sound different, and not as good as in the studio.

She used some pitches but her voice is generally natural in her songs. - AlphaQ

Auto-tune all over, plus a bunch of other electronic effects and enhancements. Her real voice is not that great.

Listen to Whats My Name, then you'll see she uses way too much auto tune.

You guys are insufferable. Autotune does not equate to having a terrible live-singing voice and sounding decent on the studio version. This is a huge misconception. Studio vocals are filtered whereas live vocals are not. So it's filtration that's the issue, not autotune. The only people on this list who identifiably use autotune are Kesha, Will.i.am, and T-Pain. In the case of Kesha it's often used for effect.

I have Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus on the list, they use autotune, and they can sing. - DCfnaf
