How To Use YouTube’s AI Deepfake Music Generator

November 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Artificial intelligence has infiltrated the music industry. Although the software isn’t new, its acceptance by significant figures and entities such as the Grammy Awards is. Despite musicians like Drake and Bad Bunny’s public disdain for AI-generated music, YouTube supports the technical advancement.

Yesterday (November 16), Variety announced that YouTube revealed its partnership with Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence lab had pumped out another feature for users. The new feature is titled AI deepfake music generator, and several entertainers, Alec Benjamin, Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, John Legend, Papoose, Sia, T-Pain, and Troye Sivan, have agreed to allow users to utilize their vocal likeness.

How To Use YouTube’s AI Deepfake Music Generator

So far, YouTube’s AI deepfake music generator has limited capabilities. To use the feature, users must upload a video within YouTube Shorts. Before publishing the clip, the user can add AI-generated music to their queued clip. To do this, users enter a prompt within Dream Track in YouTube Shorts that expresses a scenario they want to soundtrack. Then, from the list of approved artists (listed above), they can select the artist’s vocals that fit the aesthetics of the track best.

Before publishing the video to their subscribers, users will be allowed to preview the AI-generated track. It is important to note that, similarly to YouTube Shorts, there is a time restriction. AI-generated tracks’ maximum duration is 30 seconds in length. The feature has not been rolled out for full-length YouTube uploads or live broadcasts.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Will YouTube Ban AI Videos?

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

YouTube is taking steps to introduce labels on videos, especially as Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly prevalent in visual media. In a new blog update, the video platform confirmed that while they won’t be banning AI usage, users will have to disclose when they do use it in videos within the “coming months.”

This would include music videos and songs, as well as “especially important” cases like election coverage or “content showing someone saying or doing something they didn’t actually do.”

“To address this concern, over the coming months, we’ll introduce updates that inform viewers when the content they’re seeing is synthetic,” YouTube’s statement read. “Specifically, we’ll require creators to disclose when they’ve created altered or synthetic content that is realistic, including using A.I. tools.”

They added, “When creators upload content, we will have new options for them to select to indicate that it contains realistic altered or synthetic material. For example, this could be an A.I.-generated video that realistically depicts an event that never happened, or content showing someone saying or doing something they didn’t actually do.”

A test example of the AI label is shown on the site, with an example noting something is “Altered or synthetic content,” even on YouTube Shorts.

November 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat has often spoken fondly about the internet and growing up online. Earlier this year she stopped by Hot Ones to discuss a myriad of topics. Among them was her own internet addiction.

As the title of the video reads, Doja is there to answer some “hard-hitting” questions but all is not exactly as it seems. The video has a distinctive editing style that Doja has spoken fondly of in the past. It’s technically a “YTB” a genre of video where fans online take interview clips and edit them in surreal and comedic ways. The only difference is that it seems like Doja made the new video with that format in mind and leaned into the potential of the editing techniques. Check out the full hilarious video below.

Doja Cat Shares New Parody Interview

In the comments, fans seem to find the video just as funny as Doja herself. “Seeing scarlet wearing regular clothes still covered in blood is comedy gold,” one of the top comments on the video reads. “This whole thing is hilarious. i wish she could turn this into a show cause she said she’d love to have one someday,” another agrees.

Doja Cat is currently out on tour alongside Doechii in promotion of her new album Scarlet. The pair have only been touring for a few weeks but they’re already making waves with almost every show.

Benny The Butcher Thinks Rappers Deserve More Respect Than They’re Getting Right Now

November 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Benny The Butcher has been subject to plenty of praise from other rappers in recent years. He’s collaborated with some of the biggest names in the genre and received plenty of high-profile cosigns. But despite all the respect he gets from inside the rap game, he still thinks rappers as a whole are disrespected. He recently stopped by Rap Radar to discuss a variety of subjects, including how rappers as a whole need more respect.

“It’s not a lot of respect on being a rapper right now. Rap gave me a lot. I should be able to say that loud and proud but people try to hate on that,” Benny began the discussion. “A lot of these podcasts, influencers, a lot of these characters, they criticize rap. They got whole platforms to criticize rap in a bad way. Rap is this, rap is that, sh*tting on a rapper. I hate that because we are almost the bar for how people live their lives. You’ll hear somebody say, ‘I’m richer than rappers,’” he continues. In his conclusion, he basically says rappers are living rent free in the heads of their critics. “People want to compare themselves to rappers so bad. They love us so much they hate us.” Check out the full conversation below.

Benny The Butcher On The Disrespect Rappers Face

Benny The Butcher recently released a song he’s been teasing for months. “Big Dog” is a collaboration with Lil Wayne and The Alchemist that he shared a teaser of a few months ago. Even before that he had been teasing recording a collab with Wayne for a while. The song is set to serve as the lead single from Benny’s upcoming new album.

Initially, Benny’s new album was expected to drop back in August. When the date came and went with no new album he had to explain to fans that it was delayed. He said that he thought the album would be done in time but it didn’t turn out to be and he was still working on it. What do you think of Benny The Butcher’s take that rappers should be getting more respect than they currently are? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kendrick Lamar’s pgLang Company Releasing New Cellphone

October 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back in 2020, Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free co-founded a new company called pgLang. It was unclear to many what the company even was at first, and it’s developed into an all-purpose creative force. It was named in new singles Lamar dropped alongside Baby Keem and on Lamar’s newest album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. The company has also dipped its toes into fashion collaborations first with Calvin Klein last year and then Converse earlier this month.

Now, they’re entering the tech world with a new collaboration. pgLang is teaming up with tech company Light to release a new cellphone. A trailer for the phone focuses more on what it doesn’t have than what it does. It’s marketed as an alternative to phones like the iPhone which come with endless features and distractions on top of its baseline phone capabilities. The new phones will be pretty hard to come by with just 250 being sold. Fans can try and get their hands on them when they go on sale on November 2. Check out the trailer for the new phones below.

Kendrick Lamar’s pgLang’s New Minimalist Cellphone

Over the weekend, Kendrick Lamar surprised fans by popping up on one of the biggest musical events of the year. Taylor Swift released the official re-recorded “Taylor’s Version” of her 2014 album 1989. Consequently in the spirit of re-recording her old songs she recruited Kendrick to re-record his notorious guest verse on her single “Bad Blood.”

A few months ago Kendrick also got the co-sign of another one of the biggest stars of 2023. He joined Beyonce on stage for her birthday performance to perform their collaboration “America Has A Problem REMIX.” While there Bey called Kendrick a “Legend” and referred to him as someone she “deeply appreciates.” The pair also famously collaborated on the track “Freedom” from Beyonce’s 2016 album Lemonade and again on the Lion King soundtrack cut “NILE.” What do you think of pgLang’s new cellphone collaboration with Light?

JiDion Announces He’s Quitting His Prank Channel To Start One Focused On Religion

October 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Veteran YouTube prankster JiDion has announced that he is shutting down the “JiDion” channel. In its place, he will start “GiDion”, a religion-based channel on which JiDion will explore his Christianity. “What are you going to be doing with the channel? And, the answer is nothing. This is going to be my last channel [sic] on JiDion man. Like, I truly feel like there’s nothing else for me to do except do the will of God and point people in the right direction. To follow Jesus and get people to pick up their Bibles, and read about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ” I just want to dive all the way into the deep end of the pool and truly give my all into serving Jesus Christ and to helping you guys find him the best way I possibly can,” the YouTuber said in his farewell video.

Meanwhile, the “About Me” section of his “GiDion” channel reads “Welcome to GiDeon, I believe EVERYTHING the Bible says and my mission is to get people to turn back to The Most High God and truly follow Jesus. I pray one of the videos touches your heart and leads you to God!!!”. However, his followers remain unconvinced as to whether this is sincere or whether JiDion is just playing a really long prank.

JiDion Seemingly Catches EDP445 In Another Predator Sting

JiDion is known for his prank videos. He was recently banned by the WNBA after he did a “sleeping at a WNBA game” video. However, some of his content in recent months has much more serious. Last month, JiDion allegedly caught notorious internet predator EDP445 in another Chris Hansen-esque sting. Furthermore, for those unfamiliar, EDP445, a moderately-sized Philadelphia Eagles creator, was caught in a sting a few years ago after exchanging sexual text messages with who he believed was a 13-year-old girl.

While the original EDP445 scandal ended with the YouTuber getting away scot-free due to the case being mishandled, it doesn’t appear that he learned his lesson. In a brief snippet for a video that remains unreleased, JiDion is seen wearing a cupcake costume and confronting EDP. It appears that they managed to catch him exchanging more messages with fictional underage ploys.

Kodak Black Talks Presidential Pardon And Unreleased C-Murder Track On “Drink Champs”

October 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is the latest music star to appear on Drink Champs, sitting down to discuss a wide range of topics. One of the things Black was eager to talk about was his love of Donald Trump. Trump pardoned Black before he left office in 2021. “I’m mafioso, bruh. He a Gemini just like me. His birthday three days after my sh-t. And that boy, he be vibing out here too [in Florida]”. Furthermore, Black said he wouldn’t hesitate to give Trump $1 million if the former President asked for it.

Furthermore, Black spoke on his unreleased collab with C-Murder, who has spent the last two decades in prison. “I done met them boys’ whole family and sh-t. And then bruh still f-cked with me even after Master P ain’t finish off what we was ‘bout to start.” Black said. Additionally, Black noted that his link to C-Murder led to his friendship with Monica. However, Black once again denied that he and Monica were dating, despite many rumors.

Black Speaks On Being Pro-Label And PnB Rock

Meanwhile, Black also touched on his decision to remain with a label. However, he clarified that his stance doesn’t mean he entirely relies on the industry structure. “You need that machine, because I already do a whole lot of sh-t on my own anyway. So that [going independent] would just be a whole lot of more sh-t. I’m overly active. I beat my feet. I ain’t never had no manager or none of that sh-t. It’s just me and my people,” Black explained.

He also touched on his relationship with the late PnB Rock. “Long live PnB, dawg. I f-ck with PnB though, because he was fresh out around that time too, right? So both of us [were] just coming in and sh-t.” The pair had a string of collabs together, like “Horses” and “Day One” in 2017. You can watch the full Drink Champs episode at the link below.
