Rap beef of the century is gone Sheryl Crow feeling manners. It recently hit Drake about resurrecting Tupak Shakure via AI.
Recently BBC conducted a interview with the singer. While the Kennett, Missouri native touched on a variety of topics regarding her artistic and historical career, it was her opinion on artificial intelligence that became her hottest opinion. On her new album Development touches on technology in the title track. When asked about it, he says AI is a “treason” and “goes against everything humanity is based on.”
She realized this last year when one of her colleagues used AI to recreate John Meyer singing her vocals. As the great Meyer, Sheryl Crow was amazed to hear the finished product say “you couldn't tell she wasn't singing that song.” But it wasn't until Drake and Kendrick's recent Rap Battle where things went too far for Crow.
“Taylor Made Freestyle” featured artificial vocals from Snoop Dogg and 2Pac which apparently felt like a gut punch to Sheryl. “You can't bring people back from the dead and think they would support it,” he said. “I'm sure Drake thought, 'Yeah, I shouldn't, but I'll apologize later.' But it already is, and people will find it even if they download it. He continued by adding “it's hate. It is against the life force that exists in all of us.”
Drake eventually removed “Taylor Made Freestyle” from his social media channels. You can listen to the track below.
