The audio from which the sample is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free alternative that stays true to the original work is not possible.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Auto-Tune is a form of audio processing often used to distort vocals for stylistic effect. However, its way of distorting vocals is hard to fully grasp without hearing an example of it as shown by Scott on the sample.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The duration of the sample is only 3.25% of that of the original song and has been compressed to a quality low enough to avoid piracy.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The use of a brief sample in the article will not impact the commercial viability of the song or album in a negative way.
