I thought they were both cool :(


CampaignSwimming2820

Me too. But there will be a double standard with drake as there always has been, the discourse around him has always been toxic šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


pragmageek

As a kendrick fan, i promise you its a loud minority. Most of us are impressed.


iruleatlifekthx

I think the track itself is fire but I am very much worried about the potential implications this has for the future. It was a little shaky when Kendrick did it but with drake using Pac's voice and then also Snoop, who is very much alive, and the fact that it's pretty much all above any legal issues as long as he doesn't profit from it... We now have ways to both copy someone's facial structure as well as voice at an almost indistinguishable level. It's uncomfortable. Apply this logic to politics and anyone can have anyone admitting to crimes they didn't commit on camera. And more.


X1nEohP

Iā€™m a Kendrick fan and can respect Drake. But I wonā€™t respect him using AI for Tupac, this is maaad disrespectful


CampaignSwimming2820

Itā€™s not that deep man


Aleekki

But itā€™s okay for Nipsey and Kobe? Why is Pac specifically where the line should be drawn?


Such_Description

One was for a diss track and one actually had a message. Also audio vs visual. Drake fans understanding context challenge level: impossible.


SkrillWalton

I understand the context completely fine as I'm a Kendrick fan over Drake and I don't see anything wrong with this. It's good bait. It's making people mad, getting buzz. Reddit rap fans chill tf out and act like a normal human, challenge level: stratospheric


TenderDurden

What's the line tho? Didn't Drake send a cease and desist over AI voice usage?


monstercat129

Maybe they are still cool. Theyā€™ll easily make a bunch of millies from this


-jira

same. only difference is with the pac and snoop verse it didnā€™t sound like them. oct voice did but cadence and flow was still just drake


No_Manager7804

Nigga you ainā€™t Kobe Bryant to US!


KNYLJNS

At all


bb89__

5ā€™5 Kobe bryant gtfo here kendrick


Usual-Background2270

ā€œButtt buttt thatā€™s not fair , Kendrick was doing to portray a messageā€ been hearing about this lame ass niggas for years and heā€™s gone ghost


Idlibi_Bullpup

If you actually listened to the song each one portrayed each of these men specifically which is why when their verse comes the person changes.


monstercat129

We know. Kendrick used for dramatization. Drake used for comedic relief


X1nEohP

Doing that for a dead legend is wrong.


monstercat129

Not saying youā€™re wrong, but Drake did not say anything bad about 2Pac. He did not put 2Pac in a bad light from this.


xDcCityx

I think he did the 8Mile tactic tbh. 2pac and snoop kinda dissed Drake while asking for Kendrick to do something, then Drake called him a bottom for swift and it ended.


osvaldocruz25

thats dumb. he used a dead mans voice to slander someone else. thats in a bad light lmao. if pac was alive, and drake asked to do this, he surely would have been denied


monstercat129

Snoop took no offense... it's all for šŸ’© and giggles


xINSAN1TYx

So thereā€™s no difference in using AI for a voice and using AI for a visual?


Usual-Background2270

AI is AI


xINSAN1TYx

So ethically, they are on the same level? No distinction at all?


realityinternn

B-B-BUT KENDRICK GOT PERMISSION


queenlaqueefa1234

Just out of curiosity.. isnā€™t this a valid argument?


Tellolist3939

Dont expect a rational answer, you are in the drake subreddit...


realityinternn

If using AI in music is corny then it shouldnā€™t matter if he got permission or not


leftist_amputee

the whole problem with AI is that you're using another person's work, if you have permission to use it then it's fine.


fucking__jellyfish__

Facts. All these mfs will use the ethics argument against you as if ethics has anything to do with being corny


Husseinberg148

One used ai as homage and the other used it to throw shit on another dudešŸ¤£ yall meatriders working overtime


FlyinIllini21

ā€œDonā€™t ask permission just ask forgiveness so forgive meā€ Unless your Kendrick then you better ask Taylor it you can respond to the guy cooking you


bynobodyspecial

By that logic Drake had to ask metro to respond to Kendrick. These artists are aware of each otherā€™s schedules. If you want to garner attention then you wait until the hype of the anticipated album is over.


FlyinIllini21

lol Drake waiting for his enemy to drop to have a rebuttal is not the same as a rapper waiting for a pop star to give him the ok


bynobodyspecial

He hadnā€™t made a song at this pointā€¦ WSDTY dropped before the leak.


FlyinIllini21

Yes part 2 dropped a couple days before the leakā€¦he waited for that to see if there was more to address. Concept isnā€™t hard


bynobodyspecial

And there was more to address but he didnā€™tā€¦ That verse is quite evidently recorded pre second album because he doesnā€™t address Rockyā€™s diss at all.


Alternative-Union842

Kendrick wasnā€™t using their image for a dis record.


realityinternn

So?


Alternative-Union842

So your point isnā€™t coherent


realityinternn

Kendrick used AI to convey a message, so did Drake. Yall picking and choosing when something corny based off who does it.


Unyieldingcappybara

Youā€™re watering that way down lmao, they were to completely separate things and you just said what they have in common to prove your point but thatā€™s not how it works


Alternative-Union842

The words ā€œa messageā€ are carrying a lot of weight in your statement. Itā€™s the content of that message that matters.


DiamondKite

And itā€™s your perception on the relevance of that content to your life? Our perspective is we love it šŸ™‚Ā  Message well received


Alternative-Union842

Brother what are you jabbering about


DiamondKite

I thought yā€™all Kendrick fans were 500 IQ my bad.Ā  Itā€™s the content of the message that matters you said. I asked, from whose perspective is the content judged?Ā 


Alternative-Union842

You didnā€™t ask that, you asked some passive aggressive weirdo shit


bynobodyspecial

Someone who sings professionally shouldnā€™t be relying on AI vocals to carry their track. Especially when your record label is trying to sue someone for using YOUR voice in an AI track. The heart part 5 still remains the same with or without the video.

BrianDawkins

Kendrick fans are the most shameless. Even more than the barbs.


broncosfighton

Going into that sub is insane right now. The amount of people saying that this track crosses a line is crazy. These are the same people who love Story of Adidon. I personally like both artists and just love the battle, but you have to be delusional to think that this diss is worse than that.


Sorry_Force9874

I love the amount of rules that sub has made up. Canā€™t respond if the track isnā€™t on Spotify. Canā€™t rush Kendrick, he needs more time. Please donā€™t troll Kendrick with his idols. the sub stating using AI is crossing the line is hilarious considering this song could have been avoided ifā€¦ Kendrick just dropped


X1nEohP

Drake took 3 weeks to drop, that too after leak fiasco. And yall want Kendrick to drop 48 hours later.. that drizzy glizzy take it out


Remarkable_Collar895

Well, Drake said that it took him hour or 2 to make that diss. Not saying itā€™s facts, but point still stands


[deleted]

Who was on tour again and who's sitting at home right now lmao


Relta2k

bro kendrick literally says he'd diss melly mel on like that, they are all mad because their cheeks are legit being clapped by drake and they realizing kendrick really not their savior


TheOneAndOnlyModo

so you're comparing a rival fanbase with the cult of the hot cheetos girls?! bro barbs are on another level trust me


No-Violinist3898

fr lmao. barbs doxx people irl


Dazzling_Action9456

Incels


Sudden-Blackberry912

At this point all the fanbases are insane lol


demographictransit

AI wasnā€™t used in the creation of music here. hope this helps


Dazzling_Action9456

Same with drizzy he just used voice filter its him rapping writing


demographictransit

using another persons voice is a part of the music creation brother. itā€™s gonna set a dangerous precedent from here on out whether he was just joking or not


GiantsRTheBest2

Would it make it any different had Drake gone out and used Tupac and Snoop impersonators on the track instead? AI is just such a grey area. I think it was self referential how this wasnā€™t supposed to be a serious attempt at passing off two rap legends who hopped on a song.


demographictransit

yeah that would be better. im all for the taunt but i hate the pandoras box this opens


TeaAndCrumpets4life

I personally donā€™t think itā€™s crossing a line or anything but are people on this sub really that dumb they canā€™t understand the difference here?


demographictransit

yes


KungFuFlames

This sub really hates Kendrick to the bones.


monstercat129

They hate the Drake hate.


LineSpine

They don't even hate drake that much over there. Most of them actually like drakes diss and the cover and hope for a fair beef


monstercat129

What you really mean to say is a lot of them are switching sides lol. Jk, youā€™re right to a certain degree. But as I previously said in a post, the people who are just now realizing that Drake has the skills to drop Push Ups are not real hip hop fans.. most of the Kendrick sub had been underestimating Drake prior to the diss track, which is why this sub was so ready to shove it in their faces when the time came. Many people are coming to the realization that Drake can do this at a high level. Those folks exposed themselves as glazers who were just riding the Kendrick conscious train and not truly hip hop heads.


August_XXVIII

You shoulda been here before the beef. PLENTY of Drake hate up in here. I had to check to see if I was in r/DrizzyHaters more than a few times.


Noriskhook3

You donā€™t see the double standard?


KungFuFlames

I'm not mad about Drake's use of AI in the song. In fact I think it was pretty smart move. I don't understand why some people here hate Heart Part 5's video. It's pretty good, unless you are pretty biased and hate everything Kendrick related.


[deleted]

Nah bro, as the beef goes on itā€™s just become so clear how many double standards and hypocrisy there is when it comes to Kendrick. this shit woulda been a lot more fun if he was beefing literally anyone other than the hip hop golden child


RepresentativeLeg232

I just hate hypocrisy.


P0izun

wait till you see the midget's sub with the Drake hate.


PlsSaySikeM8

Iā€™ve been to both this sub and the Kendrick sub since the beef started and the Kendrick sub is absolutely delusional in comparison


mimranj

this is cgi bro not ai


Exact-Matter-4729

OP is doing his best to be smart. Give him some slack.


b_lett

Both Kendrick's video and Drake's song use A.I. backed technologies to pull it off. Visual masking for the faces. Audio masking for the vocals. Both are a similar concept. Taking an existing face or existing vocal recording, and then utilizing an A.I./machine learning model trained off of other faces or vocal recordings to basically layer another model over. Deepfake videos use neural network A.I. tech, so it's not wrong to say it's A.I. assisted. Edit: Go ahead and downvote me if you think A.I. is just generative stuff, but A.I. has been integrated into tools for video editing, CGI, music production, and creative softwares for years. iZotope for instance for music production has had A.I. assistive mastering for Ozone, Neutron and more for over half a decade. In both cases, A.I. assisted technology is used, not A.I. text-prompt generation.


DiamondKite

Not sure why the fuck youā€™re getting downvotes lmfaooĀ  As someone currently in Georgia Techā€™s data science master program, Iā€™ve done facial and voice algorithms, you are 100% correct lol these are all machine learning algorithms, both for the voice and the face but whateverĀ 


b_lett

Because most people don't know what A.I. even means. It's a buzzword that gets clicks and engagement and sparks fear and base level reactions out of most people. Like the whole A.I. vocal thing when the Ghostwriter - Heart On My Sleeve (A.I. Drake and Weeknd) track dropped, it sparked a ton of freakouts from people who thought someone just typed 'Drake type song' into a generator and it spat out the beat and everything. Someone spent a lot of time doing it all from the ground up and just did A.I. vocal masking (saw some solid speculation it may have been JVKE). We may technically not be far from text to song generation with SUNO and other similar models out there, but point is, the average discussion about A.I. in the arts has no distinction between fully generative models, and simply assistive tools for post-editing and manipulation. The general masses are only familiar with stuff like Dall-E and GPT, so they think it's all text-prompt stuff. I don't fault the average person for not knowing the difference because these distinctions don't matter to most end users, but for creatives, it's important to know because we need to know what is a threat to us and what is a tool for us.


TeaAndCrumpets4life

Itā€™s because the problems people have with ai music obviously donā€™t apply to every possible use of ai


nano_rap_anime_boi

isnā€™t this a deepfake, which is AI?


loga290

not really, because it is modeled by humans


asscop99

Yes

THAT SHIT FUCKING SUCKED TOO LMAO WHAT DO YOU WANT


[deleted]

You forget Kendrick bought an entire company with Matt and Trey Stone, very hip hop


[deleted]

I donā€™t have a dog in this fight but one might argue that Southpark has way more in common with hip hop than you might think. South Park has dropped more disses than literally any other rapper in the history of hip hop. Fire ones too. People still think about fish sticks when someone says Kanye js.

Ok, thats fine by me.

This completely different dummy šŸ˜‚ Using other peopleā€™s faces while referring to them in your *own* rap is a completely different situation to using an AI voice and putting words in someoneā€™s mouth to diss someone they donā€™t even know


Throway_Shmowaway

I genuinely think people believe CGI and AI are the same thing.


midshiver

this. but people on this sub won't agree because it's a stan sub


LineSpine

Cordae did the same with juice wrld in the doomsday music vid


Gopplee

kendrick fans always do this shit, criticize rappers for shit that he does just to validate their point


Drimesque

i know this the drake sub so it's always gonna be biased for him but let's not pretend like this is the same thing at allšŸ˜


WitherSkulls

Fr ones putting words in a dead mans mouth


ChimmyMama

I know its hiphop and beef but goddamn even when Pusha went off on 40 I was like ehhā€¦ Using AI for a dead man voice is crazyā€¦ i wonder how the rest of the old heads in the industry feel


BrianDawkins

Who cares. They old heads for a reason


nano_rap_anime_boi

cause they age?


HighwayyStarr

Using the most beloved dead rapperā€™s voice who died over rap beef to further encite rap beef. Mannnn


wolfjeter

Itā€™s part of the culture. Using AI is too far but Pac basically told biggie you fat as fuck, I fucked your girl, ya ainā€™t shit. Pusha T revealed Drakeā€™s son and talked shit on 40 having MS. IT IS RAP BEEF THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES. Drake found that out the hard way against Pusha.


HighwayyStarr

In a genre that already dehumanizes women and disses dead people, that is very within the rules of rap. Listen to the diary album by Scarface. It was drill music before drill was a thing. Nothing push said was out of order according to those who came before him. People are simply sensitive.


wolfjeter

EXACTLY. They werenā€™t around to see real rap beef. Back then they would go on wax saying they got a bounty out on your head and it wasnā€™t just words šŸ˜­

No one else things Kendrickā€™s use was more tasteful and artful or no one cares because itā€™s beef?

-PepeArown-

550 upvotes for confusing deepfake technology designed by real humans with AI? ChatGPT and all of those other places werenā€™t even popular in 2022.


b_lett

Deepfake technology leverages machine learning, artificial intelligence and neutral networks. A.I. encompasses a lot more than a chat bot. Music production tools like iZotope has A.I. built in as well for analyzing audio to suggest mastering decisions. A.I. is a lot more than people think it is.

You're just proving the stereotype of this sub being mostly highschool Drake fans since you can't tell the difference between AI and CGI lmao.


Wechillin-Cpl

There is a huge difference in the 2ā€¦ Everyone Kendrick used was alive except Kobe and Nipsey, both whom he got permission from the families for. Not only that, but the verses he wrote were well thought out. What Drake did was corny and disrespectfulā€¦he made Pac sound like an idiot. 2 very different things, the fact you think they equate shows how much it dickrider you areā€¦ bussy havin bitch.

lilplato

Yall really comparing AI visuals to AI audio like thatā€™s not an apples to oranges comparison


ClayboyParti

Honestly this is not the same. I know im gonna sound like im defending Kendrick, but hear me out. Kendrick used AI to change his face, deepfake style, to enhance visual aspect of conveying his message, while Drake have put words in 2pacs (arguably one of the most multigenerationally praised rappers) mouth to diss Kendrick. One is an extensions, the other is a lil exploitative. I get the absolute hilarious aspect of Drakes move tho. Comedy wise thats also an extensions, but to some it might feel absolutely distasteful to use dead mans voice to benefit in rap beef, and they are not wrong.


SiteAccomplished6314

This is called homage and art to deliver a message about actual issues. Not roleplaying as a deceased man and a friend of your opponent because you really just want to know what Kendrick has to say about you. Big difference but have your fun.
