Rap-Up.com || New Music: will.i.am f/ Justin Bieber

will.i.am topped the charts with Britney Spears (“Scream & Shout”), and now he’s calling on another pop megastar for his next hit. The Black Eyed Peas frontman, who turns 38 today, joins forces with Justin Bieber for “#thatPOWER.”

The dance floor-ready record kicks off with a sample of Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” before the Canadian star comes alive on the hook.

The two recorded the Auto-Tuned track during last month’s BRIT Awards in London. “The collaboration on this song is a doozy, it’s a spectacular one,” will told Capital FM.

“#thatPOWER” will appear on will’s upcoming solo album #willpower, due April 23.

@Jay z, An auto-tune mess*
in the English language we tend to use “an” instead of “a” before a word that begins with a vowel.

Hope you learned something today you monkey

@Jay z, First of all this shouldn’t be here since this song isn’t a rap, not even the artists. Second, people tag a song as “bad” immediately after they think it has auto-tune. Third, is not auto-tune, auto-tune is used to “clean” your voice, so it sounds good in the radio and your ipod, what will.i.am constantly uses in his songs is filters and other effects to make his voice sounds “special”. I have heard him live and he sounds ok. Fourth, you people have to understand that this methods have been used a long ago and probably your fav use it too (auto-tune and effects). That doesn’t make the artists less talented. Also, to be an artists you just not simply have a nice voice; you need charisma and appeal, be a performance and entertainer. Have a nice day.

@Bob, Dance music doesn’t need to die. It needs to die for artists who did not start off in the genre. And if will.i.am is so stupid, please tell me why is a millionaire and you’re sitting on your ass talking shit.

While most crab niggas are bitching because it’s not what they expected or want, the civilized population will either buy it or get the fuck over it and move on with their lives.
