What Parents Need to Know
About "D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)" (CD single)

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Jay-Z's beef with Autotune. Do you agree with him that rappers should stick to using their natural voice or should artists be allowed to express themselves using whatever type of artificial help they can get? Is playing around with electronic techniques part of hip-hop culture? Or, do you think electronic aids make singers lazy and creates robo- music?

Great Track
Another great track by the master Jay-Z. Song was produced great and the vibe of this track is just crazy. It's got a good meaning behind it too and it has a great role model over the track. Jay-Z is one of my idols.
