snoop on Prince

Has anyone else laughed about this video?

http://www.dailymotion.co...osed_music

Obviously, Snoop is a huge fan of 70s and 80s old school funk. Look at the not-so-subtle homage to When Doves Cry!

Hope I am allowed to post this video as it isn't a Prince vid.

Yeah, this song is kinda hot.. But Snoop is using that voice thing that T-pain uses. neutral

Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Ummm, this is a little scary. Cease and Desist letters are in the mail for video copyright enfringement from Prince, Shaft, Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins and Antonio Fargas. lol I didn't know Snoop could 'sing' and I like the song too...

I'm glad to see that ol' Snoop knows how to put a cap on the cheese.
Though not on the ambiguity.
I mean,
what in the world could "sensual seduction" be a metaphor for, anyways?

Ignore this post.
I don't need the encouragement.

That was a cool song, it was just surprising to see him singing. But right away I could tell which was the Prince video.

It's called a Vocoder (aka Talk Box), and Roger (from Zapp) used it prob'ly before T-Pain was even born.

The Vocoder and Talk Box are two different things.
Roger used the Talk Box, T-Pain is probably using Auto-Tune.

Yes and a vocoder is used for the voices of Soundwave (Transformers) and the cyclons (Balltlestar Galactica)
Isn't Snoop using a Auto-Tune too in this song? Because it doesn't sound like a talk box (which is implied by the video)

OKAY! Love Snoop, like the song, video was passable if not HILARIOUS, total homage to P with the shiny lame(la-MAY) suit, hat with netting and best of all the do-rag with the long hair. THAT was the best!

It also proved that any one can "sound" like they are singing with a vocoder/autotune/soundwave whatever-the-hell-it-is-thingy. Hate those by the way (except for Computer Love, that was real AND the iSht!) but T-pain can jump in a lake as far as I'm concerned.

Everytime I comb my hair, Thoughts of U get in my eyes, U're a sinner, I don't care, I just want your creamy thighs

Get to know me... Ask Ren Hoek anything

That's smooth. The voice reminds me of Zapp tribute. The video kicks a hybrid between When doves cry and Raspberry Beret.

thanks for clarifying. I think that it's pretty funny how so many of today's artists use that kind of correction mechanism.

No probs.

Yea, it is kinda sad. Auto-Tune can be used to produce that 'robotic' voice, but it's also (primarily) used to make singers that sound like shit, sound good on albums confused
