Silas"But then Timbaland met Baby Timbo. That’s his pet name for Suno, the powerful, controversial AI music generator currently facing a lawsuit from all of the record industry’s major labels over its admitted use of countless copyrighted songs in its training data.
He is downright evangelical about its capabilities, and recently signed on as a creative consultant for the startup.
“You can put out great songs in minutes,” he says. “I always wanted to do what Quincy Jones did with Michael Jackson’s Thriller when he was almost 50. So my Thriller, to me, is this tool.
God presented this tool to me. I probably made a thousand beats in three months, and a lot of them — not all — are bangers, and from every genre you can possibly think of.… I just did four K-pop songs this morning!”

No he’s had an army of producers working for him since the 2000s
Mar 22·1 replynotbrockWell part of “doing something” means not making watered down boring beats that nobody wants to use
Thats kind of the conundrum the entire rap game is in, if he was still innovating people would probably think its too much so he dumbs himself down to probably try and appeal
Take timbo out of it, why is someone like monte booker not one of the top producers of the past decade in the mainstream

Well maybe his goofy ass should be out here actually doing something and working with up and coming artists
But I guess he’s too busy out here running beat club and crypto scams
He works with up and coming artists pretty frequently he streams weekly

Yeah I kind of see what he’s saying
Everything is so formulaic
But the AI part is odd because even as someone who fw AI its biggest fault is that sometimes you can’t control what it spits out as much as you like
Here's how he's using it:
"Timbaland’s current creative partner, Zayd Portillo, a brainy, enthusiastic twentysomething, steps over to the iMac on a desk in the corner, and begins demonstrating their workflow.
He plays a song idea Timbaland laid down in 2010 — a loping, click-clacking beat, a mumbled hook he sang himself with a vaguely East Asian cadence, and a faux-instrumental countermelody that’s actually his voice.
They uploaded it into Suno, and using the cover-song function, generated variations, using prompts with simple genre descriptions.
In the Suno-generated “covers,” AI transforms his hummed countermelody into guitar lines or lovely female voices, fleshing out the song in multiple genres, all with machine-generated vocalists singing vowel-sound non-lyrics that aren’t quite in English or any other language."

"They demonstrate even wilder approaches. Timbaland took a still-unreleased song he made with Busta Rhymes and used the cover-song function to generate a modern reggae version, with a female voice toasting in a version of Rhymes’ flow, still using the rap legend’s lyrics.
Timbaland sent it to Rhymes and suggested that he rerecord his own verses on this iteration, turning it into a duet with the AI. “ I played it for him on FaceTime, and he was freaking out,” Timbaland says."

Mar 22He's right that music is very bland compared to the past and there's very few real stars
Unfortunately he's washed so he can't be part of the solution
Mar 22hes absolutely right
Mar 22hope he's putting his own past 10 years of production in that bland and boring category

Ghetto LennyHe is washed
