Before the release of Jay-Z's "Death of Auto-tune," every artist was suddenly singing. Many rappers were offended by artists taking the easy way out. There were several rappers who landed quick hits off the auto-tune and several rappers who were disgusted. T-Pain has been the only artist to receive a pass for the auto-tune.

While many rappers expressed their displeasure with the auto-tune, no singers had given their opinion. By many, Ne-Yo has been considered one of the best pure singers in the game. He was still posting R&B hits during the auto-tune craze. Currently, Ne-Yo is recording a new album.

As Ne-Yo works on his new album, T-Pain is also recording his comeback album. With the king of auto-tune coming back into the game, many rappers are pulling their auto-tune back out. Ne-Yo has become the first actual R&B artist to speak out over the device. With T-Pain coming back, Ne-Y does not want this to be a free pass for everyone to begin using auto-tune.

Ne-Yo said it is time for these artists to give up or take singing lessons. In his opinion auto-tune is like a bike with training wheels and it is time for the people to grow up.
