American rapper, actor, and filmmaker, O’Shea Jackson Sr. popularly known as Ice Cube in a recent interview has expressed his disdain with the AI trend in music.
“I think AI is demonic, I think AI is going to get a backlash from real, organic people.” Ice Cube told Full Send Podcast.
The 53 year old believes artistes were getting lost in auto tune and needed to go back to using their real voice. He threatened to sue anyone
“And Imma sue the motherfuck£r who make it and the platform that plays it. It’s like a sample. Somebody can’t take your original voice and manipulate it without having to pay.” Ice Cube added.
The rapper also shared on releasing an album this year titled “Man Down”. On the other hand his colleague Timbaland believes AI was a great deal.
“It’s going to really be a new way of creating and a new way of generating money with less costs, I’m already here. This is what I’m doing. I’m going to lead the way.” Timbaland told Forbes in an interview.
