Pusha T and Malice are the latest artists to offer their thoughts on the use of A.I. in the studio.
Clipse discussed the hot topic of artificial intelligence in the music community when they responded to a fan's question about it. During their Reddit AMA session on Wednesday, December 3, Pusha T told User Rude-University-75 that he has used A.I. during his recording sessions to hear how potential collaborations would sound. Push seems open to the idea of using A.I., but his brother Malice still isn't sold on it.
“To be honest, ive only used ai in music to hear how features could potentially sound," Push wrote, "usually singing hooks/features."
“Just what the world needs, more fakeness!” Malice added.
Pusha T elaborated more on his and his brother's creative process. When asked about how they cook up their slick double and triple entendres, the Virginia native said it's all about making sure the verses and the words align in the best way possible. Sometimes, he admitted, "it’s just magic."
“A lot of times, it’s just magic," Push said. "The way we write, you’re always looking for the verses and the words to align and link. Anywhere we can do that and have the double meanings, I think we’re kind of wired that way, to look for those types of lyrics.”
The Thornton Brothers don't need to rely on advanced technology to create their music. Pusha T and Malice made their triumphant comeback with their new album Let God Sort Em Out. The duo's fifth studio album is led by the emotional track "Birds Don't Sing" featuring John Legend, and supported by other collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator, Stove God Cooks, Nas, and more. LGSEO earned four Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, Best Rap Album, Best Music Video and Best Rap Performance. When asked how they feel about winning any of the awards they were nominated for, Malice had the perfect response.
“Is the back of my hand black?????" he replied.
