Lil Peep’s Estate Shares Three Recordings On New EP “HATE ME”

by

Even after Lil Peep’s tragic passing back in November of 2017, the fans have continued to show immense support. A huge reason for this is because of the rapper’s mother Liza Womack. She had a sweet message for the undying supporters when she helped rollout the original version of Come Over When You’re Sober , Pt. 2. “I encourage Gus’s fans to enjoy the music that Gus created, listened to, and loved.” It was clear that they had a beautiful and loving mother/son relationship and it makes it all the more saddening that he is still not with us today.

To help carry on the spirit of Lil Peep, his team has just put out a short project called HATE ME. It is an EP with three tracks, all recorded back in October of 2016. For context, that is when Peep released his first two projects, crybaby and HELLBOY. According to Genius, these recordings were pushed by First Access Entertainment, a UK-founded company that has its subsidiary label called Access Records.

Apparently, they wanted Lil Peep to go more radio-friendly and mainstream with these tracks. But, they encouraged him to keep the same lyrical content we are used to hearing from the emo rap legend. It features two “og versions” for “Spotlight” and “Hate Me.” The first of the two was a track with EDM superstar Marshmello, while the latter was on Come Over When You’re Sober , Pt. 2.

Young Guru Warns Timbaland After He Reveals Plans To Support AI Music

by

While other industry figures seem to support or at least tolerate artificial intelligence in music, Young Guru firmly speaks against it. Moreover, he warned the industry of the dangers of the technology upon hearing a Kendrick Lamar voice filter and an AI-generated Jay-Z verse. Now, he recently reacted to Timbaland’s plans to commercialize AI, which would in theory enable artists to obtain “exclusive rights” to use the voices of late musical legends. Of course, neither party will be able to control or regulate AI in music by themselves. However, perhaps the legendary engineer has led the way for more hesitation from artists when it comes to this innovation.

“@timbaland I love you my brother,” Young Guru wrote on his Instagram Story, reposting a report about the producer’s endeavors. “You know I do. But this ain’t it!!! This is dangerous and at a basic level it’s corny!! I will be on the side of the Luddites.” Sure, many might find it corny in and of itself to compare the movement against AI to a 19th century revolution against textile machines. Still, it’s a more apt comparison than you might expect, because tech will progress no matter who is standing up against it.

Young Guru’s Message To Timbaland

Regardless, the 49-year-old’s efforts to vocalize the dangers of artificial intelligence in music are quite commendable. If anything, these conversations should point to a middle ground of understanding that this should, at the very least, be regulated in some way. After all, a lot of the more popular uses of AI have been for meme videos, light-hearted reimaginations of tracks, or other non-threatening uses. The issue could stem from the industry trying to profit off of this and use it to benefit artists’ laziness or lack of creativity. In the worst cases, it blurs the line between a legitimate release and making money off of another’s likeness or false work without their permission.

Meanwhile, Timbaland was very excited to share his AI Biggie Smalls “collab.” “We know that it’s a lot of talk about AI and we know how the feelings of violating certain things,” he remarked. “But let me tell you something: I got a solution, I’m working on it. It’s gon’ be beneficial to everybody. I gotta share something I’ve been working on because I always wanted to do this and I never got a chance to. I always wanted to work with Big and I never got a chance to.” For more news on AI music and the latest updates on Young Guru, stick around on HNHH.
