Talking to a diva, yeah, she on my nerves. She think that I need her, kick her to the curb. All I know is you could have had the world. Now, ladies and gentlemen, AI has officially came and taken over the music industry, to the point where the Big Bad Wolf, which is Universal Music Group, aka UMG, has stepped up to take down and take out any creator that's trying to promote and profit. Keyword is probably profit, but also promote their own lyrics and just ghostwriting ability by having the world's most famous art. cover them. Now we've reached an interesting point in the music industry where copyright material is getting very, it's getting harder to understand what's copyright written and what's not.

Because if somebody writes an entire, entire track uses a beat that they created, but then has some of the most popular artist known the man voices on the track, is it in the lane of plagiarism? Or is it more in the lane of creativity? Because I could argue if you make an entire beat from scratch, put some of the biggest names on the track as far as the voices, because what I'm basically getting into is technology has advanced to the point where the vocal inflection, not only the voice, but the vocal inflection is easy to mimic

so that you're thinking that Drake and the Weekend actually put out a track titled Heart on my sleeve. Now, we've never seen this before. And it's kind of scary because of course, we had an AI generated rapper come out, but that was using his own voice, basically using his own beats, coming out, rapping lyrics that you hear from your favorite, favorite musicians, which is how they constructed the track, which is why that AI artist blew up. And the reason why he's not here today is because he was saying the N-word, and turns out it was a white person creating it. Now, don't you hate when that happens? So anyways, getting back into reality. or lack of AI technology has advanced

to the point where your fans and talented creators can give you the music that you've been wanting forever naming the last Drake and the weekend track that you've heard in the past 10 days not in 10 days the past

three years you probably can't name one and there's a reason for that the weekend and Drake I'm not saying there's beef but all I know is Drake and the weekend used to have the best of relationship, especially when Drake was making take care. But now, for some reason, they are just allergic to making the track with each other.

So now the AI has advanced to the point where fans can create it themselves, their respective labels that these artists are under are coming out for blood and are taken down any and every impersonation of their artists that they have signed under contract. Just think about it. If Drake and the Weekend really wanted to put out a track, what's stopping them from giving the lyrics to a random somebody, having them use the AI technology, put it out under the constructs of the money that he makes they're going to give to Drake in the Weekend.

Now, I know some people may think that Drake and the Weekends going out, taking down these AI covers, but when you put it in perspective, the person who makes the most money off of these artists is the major labels, which is Universal Music Group. I keep saying their name because if you're a student of hip-hop or just music in general, just know that everything stops and goes with Universal Music Group. Any of your favorite artists, not even favorite, the top-selling artists in the game are under Universal Music Group. You have Drake. You have Kanye.

Who else you have? I think you have Justin Bieber. They have some other one. I think they have Michael Jackson. Anyways, Universal Music Group has like a lot of these. You have to look up to artists. But basically Universal Music Group, they run music to the point where if people really boycott it, just band it together and boycott a Universal Music Group, it'll be a lot of artists that we

could not listen to. It would be a very boring platform if they were to take their artists and leave Spotify, Apple Music. And that's what they threaten Spotify and Apple Music with every time they put up one of these cover tracks. Now, that's why, if you stay to the end of the segment, I'm going to put the link in the bottom of the description. But just know, it will most likely get taken down. And this is not me. I didn't make the link. This is just a link to hear the song.

I would suggest if the link is still working to actually screen record it and then, you know, have it for yourself because it will most likely get taken down. That's why I'm not playing the track at all because I don't want them coming after me. That's the last thing I need because I already put up my notorious mass effect versus universal music group as a real thing. They really come after artists and just creators for no. I'm not going to say no reason because some of these people do be breaking the law. But at this point with the evolution and technology, What is creativity and what is straight plagiarism? I believe if somebody came under the name of the weekend

and just had a random name, but you kind of knew it was inspired by the weekend, but he sounded a little bit similar to the weekend, but he just didn't. Okay, that's confusing. Basically, a lot of these artists already sound like one another, and that's like a fact. So if somebody who was a creator was using technology,

to have a voice replicating the weekends, but just tweaked it to the point where he can call himself a whole new artist. What's stopping him from doing that and making a profit from it? And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Universal Music Group is very aggressively going after

these creators and taking it down. Because if that happens, let me tell you. Y'all thought, what was the number like 500,000 or million jobs was going to be taking about this AI? this evolution and AI technology, your favorite musicians may be out of a job if this happens, because what's the need for a real human

where you can just get an AI, when you can just use AI software to mimic them? So anyways, click my link to you in my bio, let me know in one of my social medias. What do you think about The Weekend and Drake Track titled Heart on My Sleeve? And also, do you think, that somebody creating this under AI is plagiarism? Or do you think it's under the guidance

or just under the protection of fair use?
