50 Cent has heard the AI version of “Window Shopper,” and the G-Unit head honcho can’t get enough of it.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday (June 8), the rapper-turned-television executive shared a Nat King Cole-style photo of himself, complete with a zoot suit and a 1950s Colgate smile, over a big band version of the smash song from the soundtrack to the semi-biographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
“yo this AI shit is crazy LOL,” he wrote in the caption.
Check out the post below.
While 50 Cent got a kick out of the AI-generated version of his classic track, not all rappers are fans of the technology.
In a since-deleted post on X that went viral on May 18, the “Starships” rapper quote-tweeted an AI-generated version of her 2010 hit, performed in a 1970s disco-style.
“I hate yall so bad for this,” she wrote, though it wasn’t clear if she was being sarcastic or seriously hated the production.
In the past, Nicki Minaj has made her opinion on AI-generated art clear, and it’s clear that she’s not a fan.
Back in April, she joined Q-Tip, Chuck D, and other artists to support a campaign protecting musicians from having their creations jacked by artificial intelligence.
An open letter organized by the Artists’ Rights Alliance sets out their opposition to the use of A.I. within the music industry after tech companies such as YouTube began experimenting AI music-making tools.
The open letter says: “We must protect against the predatory use of AI to steal artists’ voices and likenesses.”
The artists also called upon tech companies to not “undermine or replace the human artistry of songwriters and artists, or deny us fair compensation for our work.”
The letter also warned against the creation of technology that will “violate creators’ rights, and destroy the music ecosystem.”
The letter was signed by over 200 artists including some of the biggest names in Hip Hop.
The bill was first proposed by the House on January 10, and has received bipartisan Congressional support.
That shit actually sounds better than the original version lol
Damn, if I was on a deserted island GRODT would be one of the five five albums I’d bring, that being said it’s a crime how much I live this shit.
I would just like to bring to the attention to the 12 people who visit this absolute joke and dumpster fire of a slte that today June 16 is not only Dad’s day, not only the immortal legend Tupac’s birthday but most importantly of all it also marks 1 full week now that we officially threw out that trash better known as Bernadett the buff00n Giacumazzo. Good fcking riddance Bernie I can guarantee you with 100 percent certainty you won’t be missed. You are a certified cancer and culture vulture who has laughably pretended to be a part of a coveted culture you know absolutely NOTHING about. There’s only so long fake, fraudulent, non-credible, embarrassing, corny, cringy, wannabe, junk ass “journalists” can pretend and after nearly 47 pathetic years of writing thousands and thousands of nonsensical B/S that nobody ever reads your time is finally up and we can all now celebrate our flawless victory. I kept telling your stoopid ass I’m not “Ms. Mel” and that you was really playing with the right 1 this time and you and I both know you definitely found that out. You spent over 2 years of your worthless, pathetic life trying DESPERATELY every single day to figure out who I am and of course just like everything else in your pitiful life you failed miserably. So with all that said BERNADETT THE BUM GIACUMAZZO ROT IN PISS TO YOU AND TO YOUR SUSPENDED X PAGE FOR THE 6TH TIME NOW 😭😭💀💀🕺🕺🙌🙌
