I don't get why people are doing this crap with AI dead celebrities... It's basically like admitting up front that you're not talented enough for anyone to give a shit about you on your own lol

The irony is that Drake is signed to UMG yet thwy let him release the song while they complains about AI music on spotify and tiktok

It wasnt a release, he stuck a clip up on instagram

Any publicity is good publicity.

These businessmen know that.

Not to mention that the lyrics he wrote for him are just awful. Horrifically awful. It's insulting to Tupac.

The thing is Drake is ridiculously popular on his own and he’s already dropped a diss track without any ai. He really only did this for shits and giggles.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That makes it all the more strange that he would do something like this that absolutely reeks of desperation

Kendrick is going to verbally obliterate drake, and it's going to be catchy af. Drake only made it worse for himself.

Is he a respected rapper?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

The underage girls he dates seem to think so

Drake always drops two tracks, this wasn't for shits and giggles

We are talking about Drake here. I'm not a big fan, but he's one of the biggest musical artists of our time. . .and you are arguing his using AI for a single diss track is some kind of admission of having no talent? WTF? How does this nonsense have any upvotes?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

one of the biggest musical artists of our time.

Looks it up. Sees Drake is #3 for the 20’s so far.

I hate this timeline.

And maybe even closer to the top of the 2010s.
