In what’s turning into a digital cold war within the rap community, Kendrick Lamar and Drake find themselves at the center of a swirling storm of leaks & rumors.
The latest episode? A supposed diss track from Kendrick Lamar targeting Canadian rap icon Drake. But the twist in the tale is the growing suspicion: Is this even real, or is it the work of AI?
A Stream of Leaks
This isn’t the first instance of leaked music stirring up the rap world this year. Both artists have been subjects of leaks, with Drake experiencing an unofficial release titled ‘Push Ups‘.
Meanwhile, Kendrick was hit with accusations of using a ghostwriter after an alleged demo of ‘N95’ from his album “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” was performed by CJ Francis and leaked online.
The Future of Rap Battles and AI
As we navigate this new landscape, the intersection of technology and human creativity will likely become even more entangled. The potential for AI to become a regular tool or even a competitor in music production is not far-fetched.
Concluding Thoughts
As AI continues to grow in capability, the music industry must grapple with new ethical and philosophical questions about artistry and authenticity. What’s clear is that the line between human and machine-made music is becoming increasingly thin, making these discussions more urgent than ever.
