On the west coast we have always loved a little “talk-box” now and then. As a kid, I can remember laying in the back (wreck-less child endangerment) of my uncle’s Corvette, hearing Zapp & Roger on the radio, and being blown away.
Fast-forward to now and one of the most popular sounds on the radio are the nasal computerized melodies that T-pain helped to bring back to the forefront of pop music. Although it is the perfect remedy for people who cant sing (Britney Spears), people that can really sing (Chris Brown, Fantasia, Justin, and others) Often incorporate it into their music.
Snoop Dogg’s song, “Sexual Erruption” [nh], is a clear case of “fcuk-it I’ll sing that ish my self cuhh!” There are really no singers raw enough to be qualified to say it how Snoop said it. Overall I love it; the song is a little corny/silly, but I think it’s brave and creative for snoop. Maybe I’ll add it as a bonus track on the Champion Lover Mixtape…
