It’s AJ, and this is my commercialized blog site, where I can share my lifestyle interests and provide thoughtful insights on topics worth discussing.

Taylor Made Freestyle comes to mind immediately because of how relatively fresh it is. You got a song that’s painted to have 3 different perspectives mixed into one track. The only obvious AI effect that’s felt is the vocal manipulation being done.

Why did Drake delete Taylor Made Freestyle?

Tupac Shakur’s estate sent a cease-and-desist letter threatening legal action for the unauthorized use of an AI-generated version of his voice in the song.

What is a song with three different voices?

One that immediately comes to mind is Rico’s Story by Speaker Knockerz.

Notice the icon on the bottom left before playing all the way through.

There’s others but this sticks out most to me. I’m sure there’s some similar to this that helped shape other generations but for me it might be this one. I wanna say there’s a couple King Von songs that have this approach too. The thing with defining voice is it doesn’t have to sonically sound different to be considered one. It’s perspective that makes the difference. It usually has a conversation of some sort. Another honorable mention that might meet this criteria is Mona Lisa by Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar.

Is it legal to use AI voices in songs?

I don’t know exactly but I’m positive that’s the case because to some extent there has to be a fair act use. Same way original profiles on social media can profit off order accounts’ content as long as they’re compliant to a certain limit for amount that’s copied should apply.

What is the most sampled beat?

I don’t know but rumor has it that the answer’s “Amen Break” from The Winstons’ 1969 track “Amen, Brother.

Final thoughts

Taylor Made Freestyle is the song Drake used AI in. All recording artists should learn from him.

Personally I think it was clever.

But then again I’m insensitive in areas that might contaminate the opinion. I digress though.

That’s a trend that was set with this song. It won’t be the last of it.

There might’ve been a better way to go about it— like using funny voices instead that’s more clearly meant to be a joke.

That’s my 2 cents though.
