Against Kanye West's Use of the Auto Tune

Dear Fellow Fans of Kanye West,

The hip hop game that we know and love is plummeting as speaks. Each one of us can honestly say each time we come across an artist that can provide a fresh breath of air in the polluted industry of rap music, we hold on to it. Whether it's veterans or new faces, they are greatly appreciated and adored in our eyes. We admire their originality, creativity, and their ability to keep things real to us individually and to our community. But as soon as one of those aspects become tainted by the money, fame, or lost of hunger, it shows in their music. And the fans are left behind feeling not only betrayed, but a lost of hope comes over us because we have seen it happen numerous times.

This brings me to an icon in hip hop music, Kanye West. Ever since "The College Dropout", we have seen hope in the eyes of the hip hop community. Looking forward to every word, every line, every verse, and every song Mr. West has put in front of us. Not only has he capitalized on the rhyme, his beats puts him ahead of everyone else. He made his own lane, and we respect that. His passion for his music is undeniable and his work ethnic is unmatched. Never in our lives have we seen someone so creative and so influential to our generation. People may criticize his behavior in some situations, but its art. For someone of his stature not to comment on negative labels being put on his head is ridiculous. You have to love someone who speaks their mind at all times. But, he has said it himself; he does listen to the opinion of his peers...

In this petition, we are in no way, shape, or form questioning Mr. Wests artistic instinct. But when we do see something we do not like, as your fans we are entitled to speak our opinions and hopefully persuade you in some way.

Henceforth, the topic of this petition is against Mr. Wests use of the "Auto Tune Edit" in his music.

Mr. West your voice holds so much power in your music, and we feel the auto tune is eating away at that power. The auto tune is something everyone is doing right now and since when have we known KANYE WEST for conforming to the normalitys of anything. We fans look forward to your songs, and unfortunately that edit in your music is pointing us towards a different direction. Avid listeners feel betrayed Mr. West. People do not work hard to stay the same, we know and understand that. People also do not work hard to see the work go in vain or flushed down the drain. Even if you still decide to use this edit, we will still stand behind you as loyal fans, but not happy ones. Not ones that can say we still feel the same way about the Kanye West we know and love. Not ones that can say we can still look up to you without a doubt in a drought of horrible hip hop music, and expect you to provide us with classics.

So please Mr. West, take this petition into consideration. Consider all the fans that have stood behind you and helped you get to the point where you are today. Do not take this as a hater letter, or some random petition putting you down. It's just a large group of loving fans that would like to voice their opinion.

Thanks Again Mr. West
