A.i is going to kill artistry in hip hop and music

[Tribal Outkast]

There’s enough old music that I’ve heard or haven’t heard yet that will feed me for the rest of my life. Ain’t no way I’m listening to obviously AI music lol

AI will be our overlords, but they will never I mean NEVER make shyt like this:

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.

I’m not saying you need a.i to create intricate flows but if you know how to deliver rhymes but don’t know how to structure bars together then you can use a.i for that. Young thug and Future are two artists that have intricate flows the can use a.i to create intricate bars or story tell and change what they want to a.i to provide. All I’m saying is I can see A.I being used as a steroid in rap. Like it sounded like bullshyt year ago but it’s getting better and better each day.

No creativity to kill

 

[Yaboysix]

Every single A.i song I heard been TRASH!

shyt like BBL Drizzy we laugh at the memes and shyt, but I Will NEVER actually sit there and listen to an A.i project...just listen to the real artists it's based on. Shyt be sounding soulless lol

 

[BK The Great]

It’s already happening. Look at all those fake A.I. creation songs on YouTube.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Simple solution to that problem.

Listen to artist that aren't making bad music then.

Time to whip out my "big brother principle" theory that a lot of people's music taste was largely shaped by what their older sibling or the cool guy at school/work/etc was listening to. Once people hit a certain age that no longer happens and you gotta find your own shyt, at which point they say "there's no good new music anymore." Because no cool person in their life is pointing them where to look anymore.

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.

That's admirable but you don't get it. Labels don't give a shyt about human expression so it's gonna get to a point where you wont anything new to listen to because AI's not stopping. And that's fine btw, these first week numbers show nobody's listening to all this new shyt compared to how music's been consumed in history, yeah metrics are different but that's partly why they had to change them. Nobody cares.

Labels don't care and you have producers Timbo & now Alchemist advocating for it, the artists are going to do whatever they get told for the check. Point is, there's not a lot stopping it from taking over and it's most likely already being used already in more ways than you know. There's the obvious like Kanye & Carti, then I'm sure there's the songs that used to have 2-3 extra producers to tighten things up that AI's already rolled over on. Naturally that'll lead to full AI production, then slowly, full AI artists like Timbaland wants. That's the end goal and it's coming.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Big time. I asked ChatGPT what the best business is to become a billionaire and it basically said get a.i to create a business for you.

Atleast u got to ask a question, ChatGPT suspended me for 4 weeks.

And this is why the shít will be a major success. AI is gonna feast on the tik tok crowd, which is a very large crowd.

Thankfully, I'm not of fan of any of this garbage ass "easy mode" music put out today

This it’s happening at rapid time to. Like A.I last year compared to this year has made tremendous strides.

Thats the point. You dont like it? Lets do something about it. Fight for humanity

This is a 100 percent facts. There’s good shyt out there but there’s a lot of bullshyt out there as well. I will also add that you don’t have as much gatekeepers of what music gets popular to the masses. Like you still do but it’s not as bad as before because you have so much access to music to pick and choose.
