Something’s gonna have to give
Spent a few hours riding around Boston yesterday listening to this MJB / Big Boi collabo on serious repeat.
Mary J. Blige ft. Big Boi, DJ Drama - “Something’s Gonna Have To Give”
Some folks thought I was disrespecting Mary in my thesis presentation or implying that she is over-using Auto-Tune. Hardly! I only brought up her name to highlight the role that Auto-Tune plays in music criticism these days. Reviewers will credit Auto-Tune with all sorts of gaffs that might otherwise be attributed to a producer, songwriter, engineer, or performer. Mary is doing just fine.
CNN: “You’re going to have to pay more in taxes. How do you feel about that?”
Big Boi: “It ain’t a good feeling but at the same time, it’s not just all about me.”
Sam Cooke - “A Change Is Gonna Come” (Thanks, VJ Lana.)
