I wonder how he’ll feel when AI starts making A+ Timbo production and doesn’t need his beats

"We reached out to Timbaland earlier for comment and his press agent released the following statement:"

They're just testing out the waters, bring it slowly. Get the uproar in the early stages, then release the fully realized product when people are used to the idea and the protests settled down.
With Biggie and Tupac constantly kept in the news with either 'new' revelations about their deaths or entirety useless anecdotes from people around them I expect a new album from either one in the next two years.

:mjlol:So you'd let your kids suffer to maintain your integrity from the grave?
suffer? I would hope they made something of their life by now.

I dont have a famous dead rap dad and I live just fine. I know I wouldnt want nobody tampering with my relatives legacy.

I don't agree with this, but I still don't get this "disrespecting the dead" high horse people are on. You have people who had no problems bumping "The Realest" which was a mixtape joint of 50 Cent and Biggie. It ended up on the Bad Boys 2 sound track. Biggie never made a song with 50. Did he even know 50? And Biggie obviously didn't pick the beat. Still somebody profiting off a deceased Biggie with music he never sanctioned. There's a whole mixtape of Biggie and Pac, which is possibly one of the most critically acclaimed blend tapes in Rap Phenomenon. Biggie and Pac are paired with artists that weren't even on when they were alive, artists they had beef with, paired them with each other on other beats.

Breh was like, "Believe me, trust me, I know how controversial this technology is and I understand why people don't want this type of stuff being created. I realize this may be offensive and people think it's wrong. But check it out. I found a solution. I'm just gonna do it anyway!"

:dead:


And as is the case with just about 95% of the AI shyt I hear, it just sounds too contrived. The human element and "soul" is missing, so the songs ultimately sound flat and will have little extended replay value because of it.

its perfect for a guy like timbo; he doesn't seem like he has much of a personality lol. and these control freak producers can bypass an "annoying" artist lol.

with this AI technology, we won't know what is or isn't real once a new rapper dies and someone has "unreleased" verses.
