Kanye West Defends His Use Of Auto-Tune

Kanye West has defended his use of Auto-Tune on his new album 808s & Heartbreak, after the rapper / singer came under criticism.

Complaints have accused the hip-hop star of hiding his weak voice behind the vocal technology, but West loves the results it gives him.

"I get a lot of backlash for using it [Auto-Tune] because it's a tool people use when they can't sing. What it does for me, if I sing off-key, it really points that out."

"It points out the bad notes. So what I have to do is sing more perfect." Kanye says.

'808s & Heartbreak' was released at the beginning of the week.
