The word on the street was that at 9pm eastern Funk Master Flex would play Jay-Z's newest addition to his collection of classic rhymes "Death of Autotune".

Well if you know Flex then you know he didn't play the song at 9pm, what he did was take you through all of Jay's classics just to get the crowd warm.

And after he did that, Mister Cee and Flex let the beat drop!

And in a Hip-Hop second Ron Browz and every other rapper whose hip-hop life line depends on the autotune saw their career flash before their very eyes. Think back to 2003, when Jay said no more throwback jerseys, they disappeared. Mitchell & Ness are still angry at that!

But now the autotune has to go, not only does it have to go, it's gone because the big Homie said so. Take a listen for yourself!
