Timbaland’s New Artist Is Young, Photogenic — and A.I. Generated Named TaTa | Update :: Young Guru, Sarah2ill, 3d Natee & More Respond

[Piff Perkins]

Look at Timbo's face throughout this video, and his tone of voice. It couldn't be clearer he is not listening (and is still drugged up but that's another convo). He is casually tolerating dissent on a decision that he already made months/years ago. There is no debate here, he baked the cake already. And while I get the buddy buddy "with love" shyt from Guru you gotta eventually conclude your mans is an opp. He is actively working to destroy something you love (art).

Guru is the first person I remember hitting the alert on this shyt years ago. Before any of the programs were publicly released, he came out and said that one of his students learned that companies were training AI to create "new" John Coltrane music. Few years later Spotify got caught peddling fake jazz artists on their Coltrane/Miles/etc playlists. Bands and artists that do not exist, and are likely AI that's being woven into jazz playlists. It's not a coincidence that this started with jazz, or that when it hit the public the IMMEDIATE focus was on creating AI rap music. They want to replicate black art and destroy it. Just like they want to destroy the film industry. Just like they want to destroy books and libraries.

Yeah Timbo is acting like he's entertaining a discussion for optics reasons, but his mind's been made up.

Ironically you can see the appeal this will have for remedial fans who don’t believe in artistic growth. It’s similar to superhero movies. People just want slop that doesn’t deviate from something they liked as a kid. This shyt is gonna be supported by a lot of people.

Crazy how human expression is getting reduced to statistical models.

 

[T-K-G]

Timbo is honestly one of the biggest sell outs in music and people don't talk about it enough imo

Him and Wyclef are definitely up there, role models people for young artists to meet and interact with

 

[BK The Great]

fukk these capitalistic producers and rappers. They’re the reason why shyt is fukked up now.

Justin Timberlake- fell off

Missy Elliott- semi-retired

Jay Z- hiatus/semi-retired

Nelly Furtado- drops once every blue moon and rarely uses the same collaborators.

^^^ all of them were not only frequent collaborators, but muses, sources of inspiration.

He's out here desperate and clout chasing to be relevant again.

Breh had like three incredible runs. His legacy is set in stone. Its like he's trying to ruin it by either making dumb comments and just overall dumb decisions.

This is about a bag to him

He and other types like Lupe clearly think this stuff will revolutionize and he wants in on the ground floor. No different than what Verzuz was for him. When you look at it like that it doesn't seem dumb, we'll just have to see if he's right or ends up looking stupid but he's all in on the shyt

Plus we're talking about somebody that doesn't own his catalogue anymore all that Aaliyah, Missy, Hov shyt he sold 100% back in 2019. 2025 Timbo does not give a fukk about artistry it's about bags

I had to fact check. He sold 100% of his catalog in 2019 so this move is definitely for a bag. Im not sure whose advising him though cause the only thing it will do is make people hate him and ruin his legacy. And I don't even think it will make him money because no one will listen.

Sounds like the new wave

 

[NerdNash]

I trust Timbo

Timbaland along with Pharell is the reason why these pop acts felt comfortable slumbing into R&B which lead to alot of Black artists getting casted aside. Fukk that sell out sack of shyt
