The White Creator Of AI-Controlled Rapper FN Meka That Repeatedly Uses The N-Word In Lyrics Speaks Out On His Capitol Records-Signed Design

[Amo Husserl]

This is something that is our fault and it’s too late to turn back

And the sad thing as upset as we may be, we have no actual control so we can’t stop/change this. I had the weird experience of seeing a sea of whites saying the “n word” at rap concerts and I was so bothered…but the men on stage weren’t bothered by a thing, so what I thought certainly didn’t matter.

It is what it is at this point. The elders tried to stop this mess back in the day when hiphop was getting more popular/powerful and the young people back then (Gen X ?) didn’t get it.

One thing holding us back is the notion that we can't reverse and fix the issue.

FN Meka – a musical artist who is powered using artificial intelligence – has been causing a stir online after he nabbed a coveted recording deal with Capitol Records. The rapper has amassed over 10M followers on TikTok, and already collaborated with Gunna on its first single, “Florida Water.”While Meka clearly has an abundance of fans on social media, much of the world has yet to make up its mind as to how they feel about the AI-powered creative.Back in 2021, co-creator Anthony Martini explained to Music Business Worl


dwide in an interview that he and his Factory New partner Brandon Le think that traditional A&R is “inefficient and unreliable.”


“We’ve developed a proprietary AI technology that analyzes certain popular songs of a specified genre and generates recommendations for the various elements of song construction: lyrical content, chords, melody, tempo, sounds, etc.,” he explained last year. “We then combine these elements to create the song.”

At the time, Martini noted that “a human voice performs the vocals, but we are working towards the ability to have a computer come up with and perform its own words – and even collaborate with other computers as ‘co-writers.'”




One of the primary reasons FN Meka is facing so much criticism coincides with the raising number of Black creators venting about the lack of credit they’ve received for their work and the trends inspired by them, as well as the growing number of rappers being criticized for their lyrics both in and out of the courtroom.

Speaking to The Daily Beast in 2021, Martini compared his creation to another popular artist, saying, “You could look at a guy like Marshmello – he’s not real for all intents and purposes either. He could be a digital being too and it wouldn’t make a difference to the fans of the music.”

“We’re trying to blur those lines even more and trying to bring everyone to the future.”

Black music has completely been gentrified and colonized. it's over.

By the end of this decade it's just gonna be a bunch of G-Eazys and FN Mekas on the charts and Black people are going to be an afterthought.

I feel like it's harder than it was back in the day though because once these white folks take over black genres they play gatekeeper and always keep the gates closed on black people.

I feel like it's just a bunch of white supremacists behind the scenes at these rap labels and at these Tech industry companies...and they just gonna use whatever to keep control


Never underestimate how soulless white people are we just have to create something new. And maybe just leave this shyt called hip-hop behind. Like these motherfukkers are like the borg more and more to me now. What they doing to this planet is

 

[Still Benefited]

Where did I say anything in my post about being cool with it? I simply stated facts. Facts that a lot of people apparently have difficulty coming to terms with. But to answer your question, I don't like the use of the n word by anyone. However, I recognize that the door's been bust wide open and so here we are.

Only way other cultures stop using it is if black people as a group stop using it, and make it taboo to use like it was at one point.

Since I don't see that happening, like I said, sit back relax and accept it because whining about "waaah Mexicans use it, waaaah Asians are using it" isn't going to change a damn thing.

Weve already made it taboo for non black people to use it in our presence. What they do amongs themselves(use both variations of the n word) is their business. But people like you seem to want us to just accept everybody using it around us,claiming we opened the floodgates when we clearly havent


If people can stop using the word f*ggot and are scared to death to say "jews". They can happily oblige nikkas

Yep. This is the problem. Many of us been sounding the alarm about this for the longest time. The music nowadays is such garbage especially rap but people can’t see it and want to boil this down to a generational issue to scapegoat the fact that people less talented than their predecessors are getting pushed to the top. Easily manufacturable garbage is getting the most radio play and put on playlists. Everyone tries to use the data to justify it. Look how many streams this song is getting. If you know anything about American businesses as of the last couple decades they just copy. They don’t innovate. So they see the numbers and say let’s just copy that so we can get the same results. The problem is art isn’t quantitative, it’s qualitative as well. Quality has been pushed to the side because of “efficiency”. So you have garbage being mass produced because it’s easier and faster and the kids of today yuck it up bc they are covered by this whole the older generations don’t understand statement. No. they don’t understand how they are manipulated and force fed this stuff because it’s so integrated into their culture bc corporations know very well how to influence them. It’s Way better than before because they have the data. With data you can push agendas because you know how to target people and their interests. You know how and where to find them and what to say.
I knew when I saw someone or company created an AI that could make Travis Scott songs on its own. It wasn’t perfect but it was the beginning. Then shortly after I saw the Travis Scott Fortnite concert and then shortly after more talk about the metaverse. People don’t care about quality stuff anymore. It’s all about vibes and money not something substantial. Those who stand for nothing, fall for anything. You’re going to have a generation of kids again who accept everything under the sun bc they can’t recognize when they are being influenced being okay with other groups saying the n word, a AI rapper saying it because who cares as long as it sounds good and makes money. If you listened to the FN meka song with gunna it sounds exactly like the music on the radio today.

On the one hand yeah it’s f these music companies but the consumers always play a role. It’s a yin and Yang.

True! I mean if a critical mass came to this realization we could make something happen. Most of us don’t really “get it” until we’re a little older, out of school, and the real world hits. You see how stupid it all looks when you’re grown. We need to do a better job of preventing the youth from getting caught up in this stuff.
The most negative elements are promoted to us BY US in our entertainment.

EVERY culture has issues and underground scene. We put our negativity on display for the world. Hiphop culture is a playground for the youth of other cultures. When it’s time to get real they drop their Black friends, “favorite music”, clothing style, etc and move on to the proper, structured adulthood of their cultures.
And we don’t appreciate the Black folks who do the same until it’s way too late.

Before yall are fukking surprised, here's the future "apology letter in AI form"

To those that are offended by what I say. Let it be known that I am a AI bot and do not mean no harm or foul. I have a few binary codes that resemble African Americans, and understand the struggle from a digital platform.


Much Love

FN Meka

Square biz. I knew the writing was on the wall when music hit streaming platforms. The game has been changed and its hard to look back. Its getting to the point where I do even want to listen to anything other than Vaporwave and some Jazz shyt. Its like our voices (including a marsupial with the soul of Fred Hampton) is being silenced. Its getting to the point where our history is slowly but surely being eradicated and we won't know what the fukk we are fighting for.

They stripped us of our music, our cinema, our strength, and eventually our past. Scary times breh. But all in all, realize that we are unapologetically black and that is a beautiful fukking thing

We had a generation of black people who fought against lynching and racism during the height of Jim Crow.
If they can beat that, we can beat this.

We need to stop talking about what we can do and start doing it.
Always talking about the issue doesn't fix the issue.

We're always saying it's too hard and giving up before any real work is done.
Does anyone actually want to fix the problem or are we just talking about it to look like we know what we're talking about?

We know what we're talking about when we work to correct the problem and show results.
Show and prove.
All it takes is starting a private blog.
A private chat.
If we want to solve this problem we have to come to a consensus in private and work privately.
Start a focus group.
Get some likeminded black people together in your city and start shopping at black-owned businesses and share information, study black history and work on strategies to mobilize black people there.
If you have the ability to, volunteer to help those businesses.
We've done this before.
We stopped being solution based after we integrated.
Now, we're giving in to helplessness.
This will be the reason we don't make it.

 

[Thegospel]

are you cool/ok with cacs or mexicans calling you a “nigga” ?

You nor @Ricky Fontaine or any other lame on here wouldn't do a thing if Fat Joe was in your vicinity and said it so why log on here acting tough? Go head and say you'd knock out joe and his whole team tho

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Why would you spend one second paying attention to this "artist".

I ignore the human wack rappers so there's no way I would consume this.

its funny

I don't "want" us to accept anything, I just understand how things are based on the reasons I already outlined. And you can live in denial if you like, but here in reality many black people allow their white, Latino, Asian friends to use the n word around them. Here in reality, the whole reason they do it in the first place, (and not words like sp*c, ch*nk, etc.) is because WE allowed the word to become "cool" by using it in the most popular genre of music in the world. Here in reality, the reason that this white creator of FN Meka has it saying the N word is because of this. Here in reality, rappers rap to crowds of white people chanting it back at them in their lyrics

Using SAS smileys doesn't change any of this. And they're not, and will not oblige black people unless as a collective black people stop saying it amongst themselves, in the most popular music in the world and as a collective demand others do so. These groups weren't saying it all nonchalantly as a cool thing until alllll the way up to the 90s when rappers started using it 100x a song, thus making it "acceptable".

Thems just the facts, now here's a smiley for you
