  • Jermaine Dupri explains why Drake using AI-generated 2Pac & Snoop Dogg verses was ‘really dangerous’

    Jermaine Dupri explains why Drake using AI-generated 2Pac & Snoop Dogg verses was ‘really dangerous’

    JD says Drizzy was ‘ignorant’ in making the record

    Drake and Kendrick Lamar just got off one of the most vicious hip hop feuds in history that saw the former utilizing AI to replicate 2Pac and Snoop Dogg’s voices in the early days of the beef on the diss track “Taylor Swift Made Freestyle.”

    Drizzy was immediately forced take the song down after Pac’s estate threatened to sue him. However, according to Jermaine Dupri, the track could have had far more serious repercussions due to Pac’s connection with the streets.

    “It’s not teaching people anything. If you’re going to use AI, you’ve got to use it in a smart way. Because the people that are touching it, at this point, they don’t understand some of the things that it can damage, right?” JD explained during a recent panel with Steve Stoute.

    “If you look at the Drake song where he used Snoop and 2Pac’s voice, I don’t think people listened to that and understand how serious people take 2Pac […] I think Snoop understood why he shouldn’t answer to it because it could have gotten really dangerous.”

    He added, “I’ve been through every era of Hip Hop. That 2Pac and Biggie era, I was there, that shit was real dangerous. This ain’t no play-play Instagram shit. There are people that really live that life.

    “The fact that you feel like you can just use 2Pac’s voice […] To not [issue a disclaimer] and think you can jump on the internet and do things with people’s voices, to me, it’s ignorance.”

    Snoop Dogg remains supportive to both Drake and Kendrick Lamar regardless of their recent bitter clash and in fact, he is appreciative because the spat has upped the lyricism bar.

    “Well, the only thing I want to say about that whole scenario is that I want to give both of them a shout out for raising the bar as far as lyrics, as far as song-making and writing because the writing has been upped since the confrontation,” Snoop said during a recent interview on Entertainment Tonight.

    “Those are my nephews. I’m not in the middle of it. I support both of them and that’s personal business, not my business.”

    He continued, “As far as what they did for the industry and the rap game, they made you rap again. You can’t mumble your way and gimmick your way to a song no more, buddy. So thank y’all.”

  • Fredro Starr blames Snoop Dogg for losing $1m deal, says he should’ve sued him & Dr. Dre

    Fredro Starr blames Snoop Dogg for losing $1m deal, says he should’ve sued him & Dr. Dre

    Fredro says Snoop cost him sizable deal

    Fredro Starr recalls missing out on a $1m deal allegedly because of Snoop Dogg. Recently speaking on The Art of Dialogue, the Onyx rapper recalled turning down a role on the movie Dangerous Minds so that he’d be on Dr. Dre’s 1993 Chronic tour.

    However, the tour didn’t go as planned. A driver was kidnapped reportedly by members of Snoop’s camp, and consequently, the tour was canceled just after a few dates. That was bad news for Fredro who had signed a $1m merch deal to be sold during the trek.

    Worse for Fredro, his partners in the deal went on to sue him for the failed deal. “I stopped doing Dangerous Minds, all that shit. Dangerous Minds blew up. If the tour went well I wouldn’t be upset about that shit, but the tour didn’t go well,” he explained.

    “We had mad merch. We had just signed a merch deal for $1 million. We couldn’t sell the merch. So guess what? The merch n-ggas want their money. We got sued by the merch company.

    “See, what we should have did was sue Dr. Dre and Snoop and them n-ggas because they was liable for the tour to get canceled. Somebody had to pay and it was us.”

    Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg share contrasting origins of ‘The Chronic’ idea

    The album helped cement both icons’ careers

    Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg reveal the root of which the idea of the latter’s classic album, The Chronic, was born. However, the two legends’ accounts differ.

    “My first time smoking weed,” Dre explained during their appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday (March 19). “I was in the car in my driveway and I think we were halfway though the album, and there was a female […] It’s my first time smoking weed, y’know, and I asked what it was and that’s what she told me and boom — here we are.”

    Snoop went on to share his own account of what inspired the 1992 album. “Well, let me tell you my story,” the Doggfather began. “Me and my homies was in Long Beach, right, and it was a white guy that used to come through the apartments and bring us bud, and he had ‘hydroponic.’

    “But we smoked it and started saying ‘hydrochronic’ and flipped it, and then that’s when we started saying, ‘Oh this weed is bomb — it’s the chronic,’ and Dre’s album was so bomb, it only was right for [us] to call it The Chronic.”
