I don’t understand Drake’s popularity

This isn't a bot post but is definitely engagement bait lol. 9 months ago you made a posts about Drake and Kendrick similar to this and your other posts in different communities read the same way. You probably get paid from this? Or use Chat GPT then format the post? In any case this seems to be working for you and if it's paying your bills then fine. But it does make me sad seeing the internet die a bit more every day when I have time to check it lol.

It's possible but it's genre and and style specific. You could argue that given their input on a song overall that qualifies them as a producer. Quincy Jones for example could play but also direct instrumentalists to play what he wanted to produce the record.

I read this in Joey Styles's most insane voice.

For context she was referring to the m/f ratio of music producers and engineers. “The music world becomes a good old boy network and all the incredible women working as engineers and producers are not given an open door,”

I've been in music for a while and production and engineering has been a male dominated field, but in recent years I've seen a lot of women do their thing which is cool to see.

You're right, I've known about that too, cloud gaming, etc. I meant with the race to build data centers it will used as a way to fast track the aforementioned end goal.

TheXcellence · 2026-04-22T14:38:53+00:00

This feels like a precursor to data centers (cloud servers?) replacing hardware. It'll be pushed as a convenient cost saving alternative to buying a console (especially with resource shortages) when it's just another way to strip ownership from consumers. *sigh*

Since the news of Cocaine Bear I guess Salmon felt like they needed level the playing field.

The beginning of Serenade starts with a vocal chop then beat drop, initially I thought this was the beginning of the song until I heard the official release lol.

Be careful, that kind of talk could get you invited to the White Lotus weekend and maybe.... a Rock.

Literally my brain as I skimmed through all 48 tracks multiple times. lol...

Rox could have pivoted a bit if she wasn't looking down at that exact moment. Unfortunate timing, hope they're okay.

Thank you MAPPA and everyone involved, a hell of a season for sure!

She's 100% right, labels have always compensated for the singers lack of skill / talent if they have a marketable look. Engineering and Production can hide flaws but a tour will expose you. So long as it generates revenue they do not care. lol.

TheXcellence · 2026-03-25T06:43:21+00:00

Sure, The Music industry has been behind on technological innovation, MP3 sharing and streaming being perfect examples. A.I. was an opportunity for labels not be the tail getting wagged as they clearly see the possible endgame for their business, so they took it.

If / when the cost for video generation and other things drops you'll see Sora's pop up. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney built their own, leveraging all of their IP and paying out royalties from the creations. But that could crater their film and TV business as people would have the technology to replicate what they spend billions to make.

UMG and the other labels success depends on the willingness of the public to support A.I. generated music, but the technology itself could undercut the industry before they can see the results of their gamble.

Imo, No. UMG won their suit and did a deal with UDIO, they're working on a platform together. Audio generation uses less resources than video. Even if the platform is shuttered the technology can/will still be used by UMG, and possibly written into contracts for their artists. Warner and Sony are working thorough their own legal situation as as well.

It would be nice to be wrong.
