Ladies and gentlemen, we're taking it back to 1954 with a new jam from 50 cent. Enjoy. Ha! I'm going to take it back to 1950, but first we got to introduce the Dicek DJs. It's your boy DJ MC. Chick-JGit-J-J-J. And of course, your boy, Steve. What up, Stizz? And we have the DJs.

It's like to spin. It makes his boy back. And D dissected. Dicect. and we got some new stuff. I'm going to take lead on this bad boy. Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the new AI world music sensation

that's been coming out? Maybe I said that wrong. Who gives a fuck? You know what I'm talking about. It's called AI. AI music has taken over the world and specifically, according to Joe over at the Joe Rogan Experience,

50 cents has his share of hits. Yeah, because Joe won't stop talking about the show. He won't stop talking about it. I listen to Joe. I listen to many different podcasts, but he's one of my regulars to just throw on in the background. And he has said something about AI music for at least 16 episodes straight. Yeah, see, I don't listen to Joe, but you first told me about how he's talking about this stuff a couple weeks ago.

And then I even like just came across a video where it's like, yeah, Joe is obsessed with this AI slap where they like remix old stuff. And so now I even I'm aware about it. And I'm not really in the Joe and circle of it. But I kind of love it. I love that this music is happening. Are you okay with it not being a real person? Like Shifty Brent, which is apparently who this is made by, is not a person. Yeah.

This is a computer. I mean, there's a whole psychological aspect of like, what does this do for like modern musicians? Yeah, give me that. Making modern music. Brain fuck me right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that would be really hard. I guess because I'm not like a musician.

You don't give a fuck. Well, it doesn't affect me directly. I don't give a fuck either. This shit's gangster. But I do love that they're able to do this. Yeah, dude, that was when they got me. Just hearing somebody with the 60s soul voice saying, what a blood.

Yeah, yeah, that was cool. I like a lot of the stuff that we're being able to see with AI. And it just scares me. It's inevitably scary because I don't know how fucking bright these fireworks get. Don't let it scare you. I have to. Just evolve with it and grow with it because what I'm blue! Wait, wait, wait.

What a gangster! What a plug! He made it sound like he was supposed to sound. Now, 50 did it in the 90s, or not 90s, but early 2000s, made it sound like a gangster hit, but this is music. 50 did like hip-hop, and of course hip-hop is music, but I don't know. There's a difference between music that makes you move and then music that makes you like hip-hop, which is like, I'm feeling this.

This, this, let me show you. Let me keep it going. A little longer. Yeah, let's hear it again. Let's go. Roll around like I got a crest on my chest and now. That's a semi-in-a-bedia. You stack and paper, I can't get none with your.

They got me with that one, yeah. All right. I admit, I do want to just hear what kind of fucking majesty we could create with this kind of, like, AI bullshit because I did actually test it out one time. I found one of those websites that did it. And I just wanted to hear, like, I actually used 50 Cent and be honest. You did Dolly Parton in 1999. as a part of NWA and you just see what she sounded like.

No, I did a dissent. I asked 21 questions. I asked multiple questions. Oh, they have 21 questions here. I asked 21 questions so you made like a 60 soul song. And they gave me like five different answers. Like immediately. They were like.

That's tried. I mean, one of them is probably the ones that I heard myself. Real quick, can we hear the original? Yeah, I love the original. Although I don't remember this in the song, but I feel like that's coming in right here. Here we go. I probably should have done the regular version since we just listen to regular.

But, okay, a lot more hip-hop beat to it. You say you don't remember that song? I never actually, that wasn't big on the. You say you learned to listen to this whole album. I listened to the ones that came out on things. So in the club, 21 questions, P-I-M-P, and probably, what was it, Disco Infrono? That was the next album. Just a little bit.

That was the next album, too. See, I don't even know. I didn't, I wasn't big on this. When I was in high school, get Richard I try in 50s. album. That was back in the days when like you bought a CD and you put in your car and your and that was your that was your music. And then you listened to it for like a week straight just like on repeat. So like that was one of those albums like I could tell you back to back every fucking song and I know them all like front to back and like that was a great album. Yeah I think 21

Questions was actually my favorite song on it. Let's listen to that version real quick. New York City. You are now vibing. With Shifty Brent. Shifty Brent. You gotta love it. I just want to chill. Twist a little high. Catch stunts while I'm sliding in the 745.

You drive me crazy, shorthy eye. I need to hold you, feel you right by my side. I'll provide everything you want and die. Love your smile. Love your smile. Don't want to see you cry. I got some questions that I'm hoping you can bring the answers back. Would you love me if I...

So what's interesting is that was similar to the... Like I said, I put those into the programs. Yeah, I wanted to hear 21 questions as like a 60 soul jam. And they gave me several options. I was several, it was probably like a month ago, so I can't remember exactly if that was the exact same one. But I do remember one of my issues that I had with it was just that they would change the lyrics. a little bit to kind of like fit the vibe which is fine if you're trying to make the song sound like

more of what it was at the time like that can work but it also i was like i kind of wanted to hear you say 50's exact lyrics with it so it might have actually been the same it's it's weirdly a thing where like the best ai slop music creators are almost the going to be the people that like figure how to like write the prompts perfectly. Like what do I need to, how do I need to correct the prompt just so to actually get the exact song that is the best version,

which is a way easier way to make great music than what they did all of all of our lifetimes. Yeah. Instead of perfecting the bass guitar or vocals or the drums or anything that's involved in making a music,

just be like what have I changed the word soul to R&B jam that would have been played regular in the 50s? What if I wrote it that way? And then suddenly you're like, that's the version I wanted to hear. There you go. That's where we're right now. Can I be honest? As I first heard all these, you first hear him, we're like, wow, that's cool. Now, as I've heard them a couple times, I get over the 50s.

I guess I gotta get over the 50s like I can only hear it just becomes like a new song It becomes a new song and it's 50 specific and I don't really feel like you're on oldies music right now Yeah, it's a very you know it's cool though all you did was take the lyrics turning into 50s But I'm like okay I get over 50s pretty quickly because it's not 50s anymore And so so at first at first it's like whoa But then after the second or third time you're like okay cool like all right but I'm like whatever It's actually I can't really I'm not coming into words of better to explain it No, it's actually a really good point with this kind of music is like some of the clips I've seen from like Joe talking about is like, dude, this is like the best song ever.

Like this is the best version of like this song. Yeah. And it's just kind of like I think that might be overlooking just the excitement for like hearing this song that we've all known in this version. But as far as replayability goes, as far as like consistent, as far as the legs go, maybe at best. it exists in a playlist somewhere. But I don't think it'll be like it. Hot-tail music at a wedding. Yeah, I don't think it'll ever be like a point where it's like

this song that we've all known with this different version becomes like the most popular song of the world. I just don't think we'll get to that point. I think there will be a song that breaks through. There will be a song that's better than the original. However, it hasn't happened yet. But because we already know the original song, I don't think that that will like skyrocket up to the top of the charts.

At best, it will become like a, trending TikTok song, I would say. Like it'll become like a popular song. Like it's happening with this. Which probably is happening with this. Yeah. So I think that's the ceiling for it is what I'm saying. This is a style of music that was popular generations ago. And because that's not what's like getting most popular play nowadays and because it's known for being an AI song that's just kind of ripping off another song. I don't think currently we're in danger of like this type of music just becoming what we like here at the top of the charts. I don't know.

It'll happen. This isn't in the club. See what that sounds like real quick. Yeah, let's do that. When I pull up out of front, you see the bins on dubs. There's 29's up in the club. Niggas heard I fuck with Dre.

Now they're trying to show me love. Can I be honest? Yeah. I'm already over it. They kind of sounded a lot like the last one, right? I'm kind of over it. Like, okay, I get it. You did in the club, different lyrics with the 50s.

sound like I don't know at a certain point it does I was into it when we started now I'm already over it five minutes later when we've already been done or whatever I think at a certain point it starts to have sort of like cover band vibes it's like you're when you're seeing almost immediately yeah but like the difference is when you are seeing a cover band at a bar it is a band that's performing in front of you and that's a whole level of entertainment that is on its own valuable when you're just hearing like the same artist being covered in a certain way. Yeah,

it gets old quick. You got old quick. Yeah. I'm already over it. I know. Snaps and slaps. I want to end this episode. What we got?

Would this be the quickest episode ever? No, no. No, dance monkey was forever the... I know, and that was the one of the most popular. And that was the one that put us on the map.

Episode four dance monkey is the one that took off. Your slaps and snaps on AI, your slaps and snaps on AI versions of 50 cents songs. Go. That's it. Two. Oh, two in a snap. That was two slabs and I want to give it three, but like the AI part is taking me out of it.

So I'll reduce it to a snap. So two and a snap. I don't know. There's a lot to talk about with AI and a lot of it is just kind of scary. It's both. I want to discuss what it is and like what it's actually like capable of doing. Like some of the Saura 2 videos I'm seeing are fucking awesome. I'm watching this entire like new WWE universe that has.

happens with like Martin Luther King and Stephen Hawking and like George Washington and Abe Lincoln. And it's funny to watch, but it also was in like short burst. But it makes me think like if they created an entire like WW universe with like full on like shows with these characters. I could get invested in that. I don't know. I might be interested. But like we're a long way away from that because these only come in like short clips. And the quality I think to actually make something like that happened is years away.

But it is frightening to know that it could be happening. and it could get there, but also exciting, because that would also be fucking fun. And also, like, could we end up with, like, a band at one time that makes completely new music that wins, like, Grammy for Best Album? You know what I mean? Through AI. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's just, it's a lot of questions without answers right now. And we're just, like, going for the ride.

Like, oh, we'll see where it goes. I don't know. But for now, we just have these, like, random songs that are made up by, what was the guy's name? Shifty Brent Shifty Brent I'll be honest 50 cent with the fucking Before I get into my

Shifty Brin is not a bad A.I. 50 cent. Shifty Brent, you're right. You're actually As you called it out. I don't hate on it. Before I get into my slap step,

I'm more as I've gotten into it over the last, what is it? Were we at 17 minutes in this thing? I'm more annoyed because you could do this with any song, right? Yeah, I did it with just one prom. I'm a Bobby girl.

He's in a Bobby World. Yeah. And I got bobby things on them to... You know, I just like... Oh, she's a brick house. Oh, she's a brick house. Like, you can just do it any song. Just throw a little, you know...

So I'm almost annoyed that everything is being, you know... One thing that I will point out that I think people need to remember that is different between the way AI can make a song like, oh, can you make? a song sound like this and everything like that. That's different between the artist's first ones. Whop on Godem style. Whop on Godem style. When you hear that AI version of the song, that's it.

That's what that song is. There's no performing it. There's no artists. There's no them putting a little stake on it. There's no them putting a little twang on it. There's no them really getting it. There's no them running around the stage performing it. None of it.

The act of that we have right now with modern performance, that can, like, add so much to it. What about robots? Robots might be able to pull that off. What if you got a robot doing all that shit? And do this fucking shit. No, still not the same. There would never be, there's an element of human emotion

that I don't think AI will ever actually be able to capture. I think in 100 years. I stayed confident with that. I don't think so. As much as I can imagine AI taking a lot of things, the full-on, like, look about somebody like Jim Morrison. You talked about him on this podcast before.

Like, he was a fucking maniac. I don't. I don't know that if fans of Jim Morrison were really fans of like his music as much as just like going to see a show of Jim Morrison. You did not know what you were going to get. He was a maniac. He would just fucking get out there and be like going to see him live was an experience. You know, you hear that all the time with like people that followed the dead shows. You know, what's their name?

The Grateful Dead. There are people that are lifelong fans of them because apparently they change up their shit all the time and everything too. there's an element of Motley crew You got the Motley crew people that are all like Sure yeah The way that they might change up from show to show Their emotions

What they might be feeling on stage How they perform it That's something that AI can never fucking take over You're never going to be able to like Take the human emotion of what performance deformance is And you listen to a song like this That's going to be the same version of it that you always hear Because the AI, the coding made it

So I bet you I could turn any song You tell me right now Into a 50 song Give me it go A 50 song I can I'll turn it into 50 song Give me any song I'll turn it into a 50 song go

Oh like a 50s like that I thought you're talking about 50 cent No no no no like I'll redo it Just give me a song go Give me a song I know I'm throwing you on the Billy Jean Billy Jean

Billy Jean is not my love Not my lover No no no No What else you guys got that was it that was all you were giving for that

Billy Jean is not my love of him no she's not what else give me one more boys to men

when the river runs dry that's the actual version huh you tell let's not wait to the water

rush die no I'm just seeking the actual version yeah no you were there for a second

no I want to let I remember Oh, I won't let that river run dry. Yeah. Because when she... ArtB's kind of... Yeah.

Anyway, you get that point. You can turn any song and do it. So, anyway, slaps and stands from my side. I think voice to men would be actually want to explore there. But, like, all right. Yeah, it's good. I'm going to try that later. You can too, because we can all create AI slop.

All right? It's got to find a website. It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. Yes, dude. You just ended up singing voice. I just ended up doing RB again. It's hard to do R&B into the 50s. We're figuring this out.

Can you put it in that app? No, no, it's not an app. It's just actual songs I've created. I found the app once, but I forgot it was. So, me, AI music, what's been done? At first, this would have been a much higher thing, but as we dissected, as only the dissect DJs do, my slaps and snaps have become.

What was that? Two slaps and the snap. It's new. It's funky. It's what everybody wants to hear. It's like, oh, that's cool, but come up with some new shit, AI. Come up with your own lyrics. Come up with some actual soul from your soul, AI. I bet you can't do it. Why? Because you're fucking AI. You can't come from the soul. Sorry, I started seeing if I could find a way to turn River Runs Dry into this. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let me, give me, give me, like, give me, like, one minute.

with it. You know what? While we're waiting for you, I'm going to put on P-I-N-P by this soap cover soon. Oh, yeah, let's see that. Yeah. Get a dollar. You can't see.

Then I just ate a banana, Banna, Banna, Banna, Fianna, Bada. Bannata. Bannata. Damn it. Yeah, I got me back in, dude. That was actually better than,

that was better than 50s version. I got to be honest, I really like that one. In and out. You go in and out. Yeah. Well, because P-I-M-P was always the song that I thought was a little.

Yeah, motherfucking P-M-P. I was annoyed with that song quickly. Like a bad. The fucking P.A.M.P. Yeah, you're right. So, so when I... Some sound good.

Something to sound better. So. Well, because, like, when I used to listen to get Richard I trying all the time, P-I-M-P was, like, one of the first songs that became, like, a hit off that. And I was always like, ah, it's okay. It kind of has, like, a tropical summer vibe. Like, I could get with a little bit, but I never was, like, really into that song. Gotcha.

And it got played out real quick. for me so I have been over that song for years. I have not liked hearing it, but they just made it so much better. Like that song, fuck it. That was the best version that I've heard of any of their fucking, what's his name, Shifty Brent? Shifty Brent. She liked the way I talk. She from the country thinks she like me because I'm from New York. I ain't that dude trying to holler just to get some head. I'm that dude trying to holler because I'm chasing bread. I could care. That's how she moved when she and come and pay to kill.

What you heard about me. But a bitch can get a dollar. No catalyck no perms you can't see. That I'm a motherfuckering TIA. I don't know what you heard about me. But a bitch can get a dollar me. No catar like no perms you can't see. Yeah, that was how that song was meant to be done.

That is how I'm supposed to be done. I'll give you. That was way better. All right, all right. Dude, I feel like I'm like right there with it. It's like, yes, I mean, okay, fine. That's what she said. All right.

Jesus. I'm just like, I know you tell me never to bring that back. and it should be died, but it worked really well right there. So that's good. All right, here we go. I think I got some.

All right, this is water runs dry, is 60s soul song. We all the way. I have no idea where this is going. I know. Well, I don't either.

They give me, again, they give me several options. All right, here we go. If I had no gold, blue shine of fame, would you still come?

What the end shirid? Yeah, that's a no, right? But they give you good, they give you, Jason Maraz. They used some of the way I was

Waterwood dry Dude Let's get out of here What did they do? They didn't understand the assignment at all They took this to soft rock Go shine All right

They mixed that with train That was train right there Yeah yeah What is this soft rock He said hey can you make this soft rock From the early night Yeah yeah That was bad dude

I hate music like that Fucking can you Jack Johnson Can you make this? Yeah Fuck that dude Just Jack Johnson Into what do I call it? I got it.

I thought you had it. I thought you had it. It went into like 2000s cocktails. I want to hear us. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Wedding music during cocktail hour. All right, all right, all right.

Let's see what this one done. Let's see what it created. Look at this in seconds. In seconds. It's like AI people. When the river runs dry is what it's called, right? Yeah. Let's go up to the water.

The water. Maybe that's the problem. Let's now wait to. Right. River runs through it is a fantastic Brad Pitt movie. You know what? I think the problem is I didn't word it right. Water runs dry.

He mixed the Brad Pitt movie with a Boy's to Men's song. You should just play that real. You know what? Just to help everybody, can you play that, the original version real quick? Of what? Water runs dry. Just so everybody that maybe doesn't remember that song knows what we're working with. Don't even say I love you no more

I don't know I don't know we feel There's no longer allowed Some people Work things out And some just don't know How to change That's no way to

All right I don't know I've got some versions of it But I don't think it's I don't think it's reading This is this is showing where This is AI Still not where it needs to be

AI It's possible the song's not popular enough and like maybe not but like I thought I would try it out but here's what they gave me so far so good I got to be honest I do like that so far pretty let's see what it gets away

shut the fuck up here we go the bridge where the water sang now it's dust where the echoes hang the fuck is this those aren't the words right I think they just made us yeah they just made a fucking song

in the sound when the river won't flow the heart turns close Pretty clever. Turn that shit off. Pretty clever rhyming, though. All right. The point is, I think what they ended up doing was we'll make a 60's soul song about when the water runs dry.

And that's what they ended up with. But they don't have a read on the song yet. Got you. So we're not quite there. We're not there. But it does show you how quickly AI can just write a song the way you want to sound. We don't know how Shifty Brent did that shit. How many fucking songwriters are out there just fucking pulling out their goddamn eyelids that, like,

their life's work being like now they're just, people can just put it in a prompt. Look, as a video editor, I'm dealing with the same thing. So, fucking all of us. Final thing, are you or are you guys? But you're doing crazy shit and I'm curious. Kind of answered it.

Just stop making physical robots. Just don't do the physical robots. Hey, Elon. Fuck physical robots. We don't need actual robots running around. I clean my own dishes, bro. We don't need that shit. I don't need wild robots being like, well, look at a robot can out

walk around and fuck a robot up dude walk it deliver stuff around the neighborhood fuck robots dude yeah dude I can talk

as much shit as I want a robot I was in a Waymo for the first time this past week going to the Dodgers championship parade that was fucking crazy dude which by the way

Dodgers won so anybody that doesn't like Dodgers go fuck yourself Hey get fucked I'm not a doesn't matter but I'm not a doesn't matter

I'm not really a baseball fan so congratulations I don't care what you do we're celebrating either way celebrating either way and we're gonna be here here just like AI. Yeah!

All right, well, did we already give Slaps or we did? We did. All right, fuck it. Let's get out of here. Hey, AI music. Fuck you. Get fucked. But also you're dope.

Kind of cool. I love it. Next!
