The difference between being talented & being a genius.

Every now and then when I'm on the road somebody will say something to me like, "such-and-such indie rapper or producer is a genius!".

And i say "yes, they're talented, but if I can't say their name in the same sentence as Stevie Wonder then the word Genius shouldn't be used fam."



The above clip is Stevie Wonder on the Talkbox--not to ever, ever, ever, in your entire life, be confused with Auto-tune. There is a reason why there are very few people who are Amazing at Talk-Box, and so many people who are using autotune.

Here's another one for good measure:

    T-Pain would even know what to do with a talkbox.
