Snoop Dogg’s Response to Drake’s New Release of AI Tupac Diss Track 

/0 Comments/in /by

Snoop Dogg has reacted to Drake’s new single on his IG. Snoop Dogg and Tupac were close friends and collaborators during their time together in the 90s on the West Coast rap scene. They were part of the Death Row Records family and made iconic music together like “California Love” and “Gangsta Party.” Sadly, Tupac passed away in 1996.

Snoop Dogg and Drake have a friendly, but not necessarily close, relationship.  There haven’t been any major collaborations between them, but Snoop Dogg has shown Drake respect, calling him talented on occasion.  The recent situation with the AI Tupac diss track on Drake’s IG is a bit unusual. It  doesn’t necessarily reflect Snoop Dogg’s personal feelings towards Kendrick Lamar.

Snoop Dogg seems to have a respectful relationship with Kendrick Lamar.  Kendrick is another prominent West Coast rapper, and Snoop Dogg has acknowledged his talent. There haven’t been any major collaborations between them either, but there’s no animosity.  The AI Tupac diss track might be more about Drake’s creative direction than a personal attack from Snoop Dogg on Kendrick.

Drake Sparks Controversy with AI-Powered Tupac & Snoop Dogg Diss Track on IG

/0 Comments/in /by

In a move sure to ignite the hip-hop world, Drake dropped a new song on his Instagram page featuring AI-generated verses from rap legends Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.  The track, titled “West Coast Reppin’,” quickly went viral, but for reasons Drake might not have anticipated.

While the song boasts a catchy beat and Drake’s signature smooth flow, the controversy lies in the AI-generated Tupac and Snoop Dogg verses.  Both legends appear to be taking aim at Kendrick Lamar, with lyrics that many interpret as veiled disses.  Lines like “King of the West Coast? More like king of retreats” (referencing Kendrick’s perceived absence from the mainstream) and “Came in hot, fizzled out like a sparkler” (possibly referencing a decline in Kendrick’s recent work) have fans divided.

The use of AI to impersonate deceased artists has already sparked ethical discussions, and this latest move by Drake throws gasoline on the fire.  Whether this is a clever marketing ploy by Drake or a genuine artistic exploration remains to be seen.  One thing is for sure: the hip-hop community is waiting with bated breath for Kendrick Lamar’s response.
