Snoop Dogg found his way into the current beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, and it wasn't by actually interfering in it, but by using AI.
Like the rest of the Hip-Hop and music world, Snoop Dogg was surprised to hear the AI voice on Drake's latest diss track to Kendrick Lamer, “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
On Friday (April 19), Drake released “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which features the computer-generated voices of Snoop Dogg and the late 2Pac “pushing” their West Coast counterpart to respond to Drizzy.
In Snoop's iconic rap song:
“Perfect, you know the DOG never doubted you/But right now it looks like you posted with no idea what the hell you're going to do.”
Not long after the divisive record hit the internet, Dog took to his Instagram account to post a hilarious reaction to the AI bars.
“They did what? When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Have a good night,” Snoop said in the clip on Instagram. “Why is everyone calling my phone and blasting me? What the hell – what happened? What happens? I go back to bed. Good night.”
Will Kendrick Lamar finally respond to Drake?
“Taylor Made Freestyle” comes a week after Drake's first response record, “Push ups.” When the song was released online, thanks to the rampant use of artificial intelligence in the music industry, the validity of the song was initially up in the air.
In the song, Drizzy accuses Lamar of taking his time to respond due to Taylor Swift dropping a new album, while also calling out TDE boss Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith.
“But now we gotta wait a fucking week 'cause Taylor Swift's your new top/ And if you're gonna fall, she gotta approve/ That girl really gonna make you act like you ain't in trouble/ She got your schedule with Antyou are out of the loop.
While Drake continues to bash the bear, word on the podcast streets is that K.Dot has a response file ready, according to Joe Budden Podcast host Antwan “Ish” Marby, who claims the record is on par with 2Pac's “Hit Em Up.”
“Some people that have heard Kendrick's track, I've heard that his energy is something that will be hard for Drake to match. They said it comes with some Pac' Hit Em Up energy,” claims Ish.
We'll see if that's the case. We just want Kendrick Lamar to take his time and give a proper response, no one wants a random diss record.
