kanye is quoted as saying he was using the vocoder since college dropout. too lazy to find the quote tbh.
roger troutman = the original vocoder

Vocoder is a device which distorts the voice of the rapper/singer. T-pain uses it on every single record he has made, i dont even know if he can sing or if its the vocoder doing it! (aside: check out the skit he did with the vocoder on www.funnyordie.com )

Anyway, the vocoder sound electrifies the voice making it sound electro-like...

is that a reasonabe explanation???

Its stupid overusing it but now Kanye is gonna drop the whole album with it....

idPlease

dont judge..he's surprised all before.

On topic: saw an interview of Jay-Z with Westwood and he said he isnt gonna rush the album and it'll come out when it is finished. he isnt rushing the release date so if we see it in 08 i'll be very surprised
