The irony here is so thick, this has to be the work of a troll. It’s hilarious: an AI “artist”—who presumably dismissed when real artists objected to the proliferation of AI—is now upset that anyone can use AI to create slop, and is asking for respect, recognition and control.

The best dynamic.

I’ve watched this four times in a row

The crypto Scarface hook was a little out of left field on Nas’ part though I’ll admit. Not in a good way.

I question the bonafides of all the Preemo haters I’m seeing. Four tracks in and it’s different but he’s done different before (PRhyme) and it’s all bangers. Finishing NY State of Mind 3 with the intro from 1 and 2 was a nice touch to a diabolical beat. Best Nas album in a while.

Idk is Sun Ra.

It’s Trugoy.

I voted for Gowillog because Mascara on Mengistu is just so powerful, and the BLK ZMBY remix elevates a great song to something transcendent. Also, I guess I like new things.

It’s OutKast.

This line has basically become my mantra

Great read. Prized album.

Whoa. That I did not know.

And a certain woman rapper from New Jersey too.

100%, and the Neon brand too.
