Vox&#8217;s Estelle Caswell and hip hop analyst Martin Connor have banded together to document Kanye&#8217;s progressive experimentation with &#8220;chipmunk vocals,&#8221; auto-tune, rapping through a wire, and everything that made &#8220;Ultralight Beam&#8221; so special vocally. In the end, Caswell and Connor conclude that vocals are &#8216;Ye&#8217;s &#8220;ultimate instrument.&#8221; Check out the intriguing video above via Vox.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Via <a
