He used it well...
You're heartless if you think otherwise...

Sir Shit Stain Sr. wrote:Kanye West is one of the worst criminals of overusing this. I can't tolerate and not want to punch the walls when I hear this form of 'singing'. I want to do the same with Kanye's face when I am forced to listen to him. Music is not as incredible as it was 30 years ago anyway. But why kill it and destroy it more with so many artists using vocoda to cut my ears to death? It sounds infuriating and hides the fact that people can't sing and it is spreading everywhere like Cholera.

Of course you do. We all know you have a crush on Lily Allen!

Apart from Richie Sambora who uses it so much he has had one surgically grafted onto his mouth.

Hawkins has a speak and spell attached. Does that count?

Dave Grohl used it on "My Generator" on the second(?) foo fighters album.
quite a few of Dr. Dre's "band"(studio musicians or hired hands), if you want to call them that, used it in his compositions over the years. Mostly to build on the zapp & george clinton samples or interpolations he was using.
The most obvious case was when he got Roger from Zapp to collaborate on California Love.
Daft Punk used (& continue to use them) in conjunction with the Yamaha D10s (or whatever synths they're using now).
Other than that, erm, i dunno, there's noting that springs to mind.
i have one lying around.
Seems to work a lot better with a guitar than with a synth though.
It was cheep & gives a nice Hendrix tone so i can't complain that much.
It does make you look like a complete fanny though.

Peter Frampton weeps at all of this.

Here's a video of someone using a talkbox with their synth
Finally, here's a video of someone using the Antares Auto-Tune
Personally, i had no idea the auto-tune had a rackmount version.
Kanye could use either live.
A vocoder would give the people behind the curtain more freedom, the auto-tune would make everything extremely easy if they had stored the config they were using & just loaded it at the start of every gig.
