Timestretching
There is another way that time stretching to sustain the note of a sampled note... it's loop points... in the FL editor, you can add loop points, that would be way WAY better, IMO... -

Yo... If I put a line or two in my beats with a reggae slang, that's not fake, that's adding a lil flave to a beat. Singing a whole song... well, all right... that's a concept... but doing a bunch of beats with a reggae accent when it's not your real accent, that's just faking it!... whether...- sYgMa

Matisyahu continued....
I know a bunch of reggae artists that dont have and accent, unfortunately, they sing in french... Thing is, when I said that he did it for sales, you're right, I'm assuming he did...BUT like you said, when he sings with his natural accent, it doesn't sound right AND he chose a song where he...- sYgMa

Time Stretch?
Well basically, a time stretch changes the tempo (and the duration) of a sample (can be a loop or a sound) without changing the pitch (so no Kanye chimpmunk or DJ Screw demonic voices). You can compress or expend the sample to a certain point... Of course, if you stretch too much, the sound... -

Matisyahu continued....
The gimmick is that he decided, since he wanted to have a bigger audience, to sound like what popular music standards think reggae sounds like... That way, he'd have more chance to have radio play and such and such... feel me? From Wikidepia: A gimmick is a unique or quirky special...- sYgMa

Matisyahu continued....
The track I heard was all right... all I'm saying is that he took the Jamaican accent so his music would be as close as the Reggae people already know. He made a choice and that choice was made (in my opinion) to have a bigger audience... that's what I call a gimmick.- sYgMa
