Redman is not a fan of rap music created by artificial intelligence. The New Jersey native hit the 2023 BET Awards red carpet on Sunday night (June 25) and discussed the future of Hip-Hop.
“My thing is don’t let technology ruin Hip-Hop,” the 53-year-old expressed to VIBE.” Go back to the essence of it. We need to galvanize everyone together right now and stand up before they do this AI crap. Do not let Hip-Hop be ruined by technology.”
Ice Cube, Young Guru, Universal Music Group, and more have all spoken out against AI-generated music. Not all are against the technology, however. Timbaland has embraced the development, used AI to create a controversial collaboration with the late Notorious B.I.G., and announced plans to fully integrate the programming into his creative endeavors.
