Jermaine Dupri Blasts AI Kendrick Lamar Diss Track

Following his Super Bowl appearance, Jermaine Dupri, a North Carolina-born record executive known for his strong opinions on technology and music, has recently spoken about using artificial intelligence to create music. He has addressed the recent controversy surrounding an AI-generated Kendrick Lamar diss track that went viral online, developed by Sy The Rapper, a 23-year-old from LA. Although Sy was initially sceptical about the track’s persuasiveness, it quickly gained traction online, causing him to clarify that it was fake. While some may have seen it as a harmless prank, Dupri quickly voiced his disapproval, stating that the hip-hop community should not tolerate such behaviour.

In a response to a story by Complex, Dupri tweeted, “This is the dumbest, most irresponsible thing I’ve seen in years. Hip-hop is too dangerous, and it has always gone against fake sh*t.” Many people agreed with his stance, seeing the AI-generated track as a form of impersonation that is not welcome in the hip-hop genre. The debate around AI-generated music has been ongoing, with some people embracing it as the future of music creation. In contrast, others view it as a threat to the authenticity and creativity of the industry. Whether it is seen as a positive or negative force, AI-generated music is becoming increasingly prevalent, and it will be interesting to see how the music industry continues to evolve and adapt.

Drake, the famous Canadian rapper, has recently released another diss track that has generated a lot of buzz in the music industry. This track is unique because it features the vocals of two of Lamar’s idols, namely 2pac and Snoop Dogg. However, the exciting thing is that the original artists did not record these vocals. Instead, Drake used cutting-edge AI technology to recreate and incorporate their voices into his latest track. This move has been met with mixed reactions from fans and critics alike, with some praising Drake’s innovative approach to music-making while others questioning the ethics and authenticity of using AI-generated vocals in a song of this magnitude, especially as Snoop Dogg is still alive and well.
