Lupe Fiasco recently announced 'Endless LUP', an AI powered radio station broadcasting his music. "Imagine if there was a 24 hour fully AI powered radio station trained on all the intricacies of my Rapping abilities and was carefully refined to produce the highest quality possible Lupe Fiasco songs,"

"Now imagine it only played a generated song once and never again endlessly…now imagine that radio station was only available for certain periods of time and only in certain locations and you needed an actual FM radio to hear the songs. Imagine I put a team together at MIT and imagine we actually built it."
Fiasco says that the station will launch this year.

Lupe also announced recently that he has accepted the role of visiting professor at John Hopkins University. "Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the faculty at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University’s Peabody Institute in Fall 2025 as a Distinguished Visiting Professor, teaching Rap as part of the groundbreaking new 4-year Hip Hop Degree Program led by the visionary Professor Wendel Patrick,"

"I’ll continue my teaching at MIT and pursuing my fellowship at Yale, while advancing Rap studies and practice into the upper echelons of higher education at large."

Lupe's been pushing this AI thing, he used some google ai thing to write some songs a few months ago. Another example of a GOAT being an absolute loser.

I'm not trying to hear no AI generated ass raps. Get the fukk outta here

Let's be real this isn't a bad idea on its on its just coming from lupe. From a "get a bag by any means necessary" culture ai is definitely going to be abused and celebrated when a drill/trap artist says it.

A.I. for Rap is one of the things I absolutely don’t agree with Lupe on.

I don’t care if they used his brain to build it on.

This is taking the authenticity out of the artform.

Like creating an A.I. computer to paint “Basquiats” based on previous work.

Naah.


On one hand for someone like Lupe, whose creative as hell, I can see how A.I. would intrigue him and the idea he’s pushing seems interesting as hell

On the OTHER hand I don’t think writers/artists should utilize A.I. extensively if at all. There’s something about it that makes the art seem so…inauthentic

Interesting concept, but it won't fly in this genre. I wouldn't be surprised if Lupe got this idea from The Congress (2013), which shows a fictional Paramount using the digital likeness of stars.

I appreciate his and Factz' willingness to push hip-hop into academia. Outside of this idea, if someone is not utilizing AI daily, they are behind.

Edit: We already have ghost artists and music via Perfect Fit Content (PTC).


Spotify, for its part, has been open about its willingness to allow AI music on the platform. During a 2023 conference call, Daniel Ek noted that the boom in AI-generated content could be “great culturally” and allow Spotify to “grow engagement and revenue.”
