Kanye West has a new plan for his album “Bully” using AI technology.
- He demonstrated changing Lil RT’s vocals into his own voice, sparking curiosity.
- Fans had mixed reactions when snippets hit social media platforms like Instagram.
- West plans to drop “Bully” on his daughter North’s 12th birthday.
- Controversy surrounds West’s Grammys stunt with Bianca Censori, potentially affecting business deals.
Kanye West is a name known for pushing boundaries, and with his latest project, “Bully,” he’s diving into the world of artificial intelligence. In a conversation with Justin Laboy, West showed how he’s using AI to transform Lil RT’s vocals into his own voice. “It’s like the next version of sampling,” he explained, drawing comparisons to early skepticism when sampling first emerged.
This progressive step, however, hasn’t been met with universal praise. When DJ Akademiks shared a sneak peek of the AI-generated music on Instagram, fans expressed a gamut of reactions. Some listeners anticipated this blend of AI and music, recalling earlier instances of internet users experimenting with Kanye and Drake’s voices in top songs. Yet, others critiqued the quality or feared a lack of originality in future music.
In a recent podcast with Laboy, West revealed another layer to his album’s story. “Bully” is set to release on June 15, coinciding with his daughter North’s birthday. The decision to align the album drop with this date, West mentioned, comes from North’s admiration for the project.
Beyond the music, Kanye and his partner Bianca Censori are no strangers to the spotlight—or controversy. At the recent Grammy Awards, Censori’s bold fashion choice on the red carpet sparked both chatter and backlash. The public display was so provocative that The Daily Mail speculated it might have cost West a lucrative business opportunity in Japan.
Kanye West’s experimentation with AI in music is bold and controversial, keeping his audience on their toes.
