Jay-Z calls for "Death of Autotune"

On Friday night, New York's Hot 97's Funk Master Flex and DJ Mister Cee debuted a new Jay-Z record titled, "Death of Auto-tune".

In the song, the now independent, Jay-Z tries to demolish the new form of hip hop melody: Auto-Tune, a voice processor that manipulates pitch and vocal control of a sound, which is frequently used by many popular artists, such as Lil' Wayne, Kanye West, and T-Pain.

Can Shawn Carter make the auto-tune fad go away? Is he that big of an artist to completely end a trend?

Here's a video of Jay-Z calling in the station and explaining the nature of "Death of Auto-tune" :
