It’s so crazy to me how a.i is going to kill the artistry in hip hop and music. I feel like now you can get A.I. to create any type of song for you and tell it what style you want and it will do verses for you. I wouldn’t be surprised if a a lot of rap nikkaz today probably use it now to help with there rhymes, especially writers block. You can also get it to produce beats, shyt about to be cooked.

Maybe for the idiots.

But i will never listen to AI music or an artist who is heavily using it as a tool. Art is about human expression. If there ain't a human behind it then I'm not interested.

Now for the microwave ass music a lot of artists are putting out i guess AI can easily replicate that so the generic artists might be cooked but i don't fukk with them anyway so there's no big loss.

But true artists can never be replicated by an AI.

Powerful.

I believe this too.

I feel AI will only effect visual presentation as in the artistry behind coming up with concepts and pictures. AI will make that expression iller and more cost effective for those on the come up and established artist too.

I don't think anyone wants to hear an AI written song or beat. Music is not formula-tic there have been AI scripts written and they said it was mainly garbage reading out like a news report without the human passion and intricacies of expression. Basically AI will fail at what takes insight and heart to manifest, it is succeeding in the visual realm of the arts though because people are out there making graphic novels from there old writings and etc.

I embrace it. The cream anyway will always rise to the top.

That’s thing you won’t be able to tell especially if artists use it as a tool. You can literally tell A.I. to make you a Kendrick Lamar style song using multiple sylables and entendres and make it about gta 5 and it will do it for you. Even if artists halfway write themselves and use ideas and rhymes to add to what they came up with from the dome and use a.i to assist as a ghostwriter its right there in the palm of the artists hands. They can use a.i help them get past writers block.

This is very solid point. I can see that a 100%.

No it's not, especially when it comes to rap.

Now there are songs that I LOVE, that are poppy, simple, minimalist, almost pro-am questionably mixed but still endearing because I either just love it that much or know about the artist. That's the kind of music right now that could be duped reasonably well but then I know some of those artist that can take their melodies, voice notes and poor mixes and actually do something GREAT with them.

If you look at the history of tech in all arenas, there were protests, boycotts, fights, murders and just general upheavals at damn near every invention that removed entry barriers. That sounds crazy with the barriers being so low for the music already but the game, the industry is poison and needs to be destroyed.

Same thing is going to happen to hollyweird as video capabilities get refined. Look at these 400m dollar budget films not even breaking even...meanwhile within a year I'd say, you might be able to create full length film that could be better quality than a lot of the movies you grew up watching.

Yeah and it'll give you some approximate bullshyt. You cannot prompt your way into a Freddie Gibbs song, too many intricacies and he ain't even THATTTTTT nice but A.I. can't duplicate that as of yet and even if it catches up, I feel like it would only push rappers to be even more innovative.

What people have already been doing (think Drake with "hi Whitney" leaks and push ups controversy) with something like Suno is create reference tracks without leaving a paper trail.

I've written a couple songs for a friend and generated references to use, for pop & R&B that's actually fukkin gold. If you don't have a vocalist or can't do your own, to be able to hear what's possible.

Also, mixing/mastering capability. The shyt you used to have to go through at times just to not only lay down a verse or two but have it properly engineered in like late 90's/early 2000's, this shyt could feel like a godsend once it perfects some of those mechanisms.

But with rap, you cannot rely on AI to create innovative flows or reliably, consistently "create" a Kendrick Lamar anything. Your best bet unless you're just treating this shyt like a vending machine is to get exited about using to the tools to help easier include your voice/creativity into the mix.

Lots of legit use cases, some shyt I'm sitting on waiting for certain stuff like voice cloning to improve to my liking, I have amazing ideas, to me at least.

yall are already being controlled by the media. AI controlling you is just another step in the process. So many posts up here talking about first week sales or people listening to what everyone else is listening to. So yall will listen to whatever labels/media tell you to whether you like it or not.
