antiMusic's Morley Seaver recently spoke with Man Child from Swollen Members and during the interview the subject of AutoTune came up and Man Child had some strong feelings on the technology and the backlash against it. He also said that the man leading the charge against AutoTune, Jay-Z, actually used it himself. Here is that part of the interview followed by a link where you check it out in full!"I think it's almost amusing, how ridiculous it is that you know, how everybody just jumps on a bandwagon or something, where in six months from now people might not even remember that they had a problem with that thing," Man Child told Morley.
