Your use of the phrase “entry level” leads me to ask if you are suggesting that the older, more established effects such as flangers, reverb, echo, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=autopain2.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9328113&amp;post=131&amp;subd=autopain2&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several weeks ago this remarkable video—featuring an Auto-Tuned version of everyone’s favorite astronomer Carl Sagan and beloved physicist Stephen Hawking—ascended into the blogosphere. Circulating from YouTube to NPR, it is noteworthy on several fronts. For my purposes, though, I would like to deconstruct the video to offer a better sense of what is (and is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=autopain2.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9328113&amp;post=121&amp;subd=autopain2&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And even the hastiest exegesis reveals that homegirl has, for reasons undisclosed, decided not to wear a bra to the club.

I cast the net wider with this post, however. Last week, Miami rapper C-Ride released the video “Money Round Here” featuring T-Pain.

		<description><![CDATA[In the opening entry to this blog (available here), I suggested that T-Pain cultivated a messianic persona. In other words, T-Pain projects himself as the savior of hip hop by aligning himself with Jesus, a slightly better known messiah. A rather presumptuous suggestion, I confess, and yet perhaps there is something here worth considering. In [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=autopain2.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9328113&amp;post=79&amp;subd=autopain2&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[T-Pain’s vigilant watch over Auto-Tune is well known. He teaches his techniques to others, and he rebukes those who emulate him. He has even hinted at a moral code for using the voice-altering software, telling Sasha Frere-Jones of The New Yorker, “I got a song on my album about my kids. I ain’t use it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=autopain2.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9328113&amp;post=70&amp;subd=autopain2&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hip-hop albums commonly open with a track—occasionally titled ‘introduction’ or, simply, ‘intro’—that is designed to set the stage for the rest of the album. Certain themes, or tropes, recur within these introductions, and the geography trope is among the most common. These proclamations of place affiliate an album, and an artist, with a specific geographic [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=autopain2.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9328113&amp;post=40&amp;subd=autopain2&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
