"I used autotune b4 everyone I was ahead of my time" Lil Kim
Quote:
Everyone needs to go back and remember my older music. I even used Auto-Tune back when no one even was touching it. I used it on The Notorious K.I.M., on a song called "I'm Human." I sang on all my albums; this is nothing new to me. It's just that people haven't heard from me in a while, so they only remember most of the singles that were put out. People need to remember how different every song I put out was. "Kitty Box" sounds like something that would be out now. I was ahead of my time, all the time.
Autotune was discovered during the recording of Cher's "Believe".
While vocal distortion was available for ages, the "auto tune" sound came by accident while Cher recorded Believe, so no.
