The avatar just looks retarded. Why does it have cyborg parts but from what I've seen it just bums around in the normal world.

Cyborg rapper should be in Blade Runner world somewhere. If he's still in our timeline on Earth then how about just be a regular human.

And this design isn't even dope looking. In this day and age with shyt like Unreal Engine 5 available to the public, how they make something that looks wack even for 2010 standards.

And maybe it's look is actually the goal for all these little junkies that populate the charts these days. Maybe Gen Z looks at this piece of shyt and sees something attractive. If so their taste is irredeemable.

And lastly the name. The letters in front of all these rappers names is short for some clique out there. If they do it right you get multiple dudes with the same letters in the front (I guess to promote the clique).

Just putting random letters in front of the name is essentially mocking this practice with gibberish.

And once again is not cool or dope sounding anyway.

What pisses me off so bad is not that shyt like this exists. There's city dumps worth of bullshyt art being made.

It's that this shyt has an audience. Up to the point of signing a record deal. That means tons of fans and enough executives looked at this bullshyt and we're engaged. They felt like this was what they been waiting for. They paid attention to it and consumed it's output happily.

I still haven't taken time to listen to this output. If I ever do hear it, it won't be on purpose.

Intellectually this is like seeing people rolling around in port a potty shyt infused mud like the footage from Woodstock 99 or whatever that was.

This guy says he was the artist behind the AI character and he got jerked, but specifically that "the label stole THE CULTURE" :francis:



Bruh, what is THE CULTURE here? :jbhmm:

I get it, its a clown ass stereotyped rapper mimicking the reality of black poverty and hustle to make it...but when are we going to discuss said "culture" and what about it is worth defending at this point?

:francis:

Is he mad he was taken advantage of? or is he mad they took his creativity? or is it only authentic "culture" when the artist behind it does it and is that version worth defending? :lupe:

We're supposed see an AI bot getting canceled as a win because it was "culturally insensitive" and "said the n word" but no smoke for the human rappers that make very similar content.

Seems like what we're saying is that these types of depictions must be explicitly tied to Blackness and I have a problem with that.

Terms like "the culture", "the streets" and "the game" are just hollow concepts that can be applied and manipulated with good and bad intentions to make a point. They're meaningless in and of themselves.

Can't be mad at something kinda showing us a mirror of what this shytty music looks like to the rest of the world. They use the rappers who created the image and lyrics to come up with this.....it's stupid but I ain't mad and outraged it is what it is.
