I didnt see this mentioned in shas thread so excuse me if i missed that
https://www.stemplayer.com/preview/a...3-bc0b3622ef16
that link, goto the site, type in ya email and press listen and youll get the full track preview. Apparently its exclusive to the stem player. Idk how to rip it off my phone right now but im sure someone whos on their pc can hook it up
tho it looks like its on a timer so listen quickly
Track sounds ok. Site seems sketchy AF lol
It is the official Stem Player website. Kanye worked with them for Donda & Donda 2.
Looked around in the code, and I suspect it to be 4 different mp3 tracks to download somewhere. So far, have not found the links in all the scripts. Did found a JSON with a reference to the four tracks, but no source links.
If someone does find the tracks:
You should be able to use something like https://github.com/krystalgamer/stem-player-emulator to play it together.
edit:
https://youtu.be/LxXGx9-ICQ4
these are the stems & video being played on the website
https://my.hidrive.com/share/98ocbk.sab
And someone put the track on WeTransfer

Saw this earlier. Joint is meh
bruh whoever is managing ghost's business is a goof ball.
Also, why does ghost still double dub his verses on some 2005 shit? lol
I can share a very irritating video of trying to find the right beat for the vocals of this joint if yall wanna see it. Happy to post as long as it doesn't get shared anywhere else.
please post it :)
https://youtu.be/iUuzpPxuENY
This is freestyling vocals over beats to find what goes together. Vocals are not placed properly on the beats so they sound off most of the time. Anyway… let me know which yall think fits best
good shit, here's my list (these aren't start times)Quote:

Good taste. I was thinking the exact same thing.Quote:

What about the 6:30 beat? The energy of his verse is fitting. Maybe I'm just stuck on delivery, but the 8:30 is nice but Ghost comes too much for that beat. 10:50 also pretty fitting.
No idea about IG subscriptions. Trying to move away from IG, and I think more people are. Ain't there better platforms for beat making videos with subscriptions?
Happy to hear any suggestions for platforms! @JetSet
You ever try the same and have similar frustrations placing Holocaust vocals over a beat?Quote:

About a year and a half ago, I was working on making the first fully AI generated song. Voice cloning existed already but was only text-to-audio. With an AI startup in Canada I was working on voice-to-voice, meaning I would send them an acapella that I rapped and recorded, we put it through the machine and out would come the same acapella, with the same delivery, flow, intonation and cadance, but in any voice I wanted. I was working on writing 8 different ones, all in the lyrical and flow style of each Clan member to make a fully AI generated Clan track. We fed the machine hours of Clan acapellas, each individual seperately and had some good/interesting results. Voice-to-voice is a different beast and I got side tracked working on other stuff, but AI has advanced so quick since, that it might be that time now to get back into it.
holy shit lmao. Bro you really want them to hate you dont ya lmao!Quote:

i did a method man remix albums with beats i made in the old tical style years ago. Between that and some cuban 3 beats i have to send. I was hoping to make something happen but thats a far cry from what you just explained lmao. M
go for it bro. Fuck it. Sadly it dont seem wu seem to realize what their style should be and chase others sounds. Its gon be up to people like us i guess and just make our own. Dude on youtube project strum did remixes of immobilarity and other albums. I figured as were real fans we can scope out the real good verses on random shit and just mix and match until we make something dope.
But that idea is next level bro. Lol

thats whats gon happen for sure. But id still be interested in what it would sound like. As novel as it is as a idea. I honestly dont understand whyd hed wanna do it but hey im noone to judge.Quote:

If you want to be a distruptor you have to do things that kick the tires on debate. Mine would solely be on the question, can we or can we not patent/copyright a voice. Right now, image, likeness, lyrics, text, etc can be copyrighted and patented. But not voices, not yet at least. How do you lock a voice down in law, especially as voices are ever changing with age. Would we allow such a thing so endeared voices such as Sir David Attenborough's continue to be used under the license of his estate for example so we can always, by choice, have animal related doc's narrated by the greatest to ever do it? Is this something we cherish enough to safeguard or do we let go and move on.
Imagine, eventually, an AI machine is fed all of DaVinci's work. It studies it, digests it and then it's linked to a robot with a paintbrush who's prompted to paint something as Leo would've done. Is this right, or wrong? Do we allow such a thing?
That's the debate my AI Clan project would solely focus on incentivizing. But you have to do something radical first to spark that debate. Just like the single copy sparked the debates about value and privitization and other matters.
Natural progression + disruption.
Can't be scared of reprecussions... or you'll never do anything or add on or change things....
People are already having that debate.
Which is pointless imo, AI is one of the few growing industries in an unstable economy. No politician with any sense is gonna want to restrict its use right now.
So honestly you'd be doing it for clout, which is fine, but you'd better get there first because theres probably people out there working on similar ideas.
Is this something you spoke to RZA about? Because I can't see the whole Clan signing off on this.
You probably already came across these?

Through this it would get a betters sense of the 'rules' for 'the character' which it is creating. My prediction would be that your new results would be much better if you ran the same 'test'.
I was thinking the same just based upon the stemplayer. We could just rip the Ghost vocals and make a completely different EP. But with AI, that is next level. Did not even think of that.Quote:

The thing I don't get is why you say score to settle? If you just did it to harm somebody, I get it. Would be like a form of AI generated revenge porn. With for example a track solely dedicated to praising Once Upon A Time IN Shoalin and them saying sorry to Ringz. Hahaha. Actually I would love to hear that.
Matter of fact. With ChatGPT, that's the name right? Would it not be theoretically possible to train that AI in writing like each one of the clan members. That way you would get lyrics from that AI. You would still be in charge of delivery to the Voice2Voice AI. Hmmmm.
Make an EP with 5 tracks. Have an AI create a video for each one of those.
You might even uncover some bias from the AI's.

But this time the person is even alive. What if I made a Jet Set account on here and started posting willy nilly? lol And this isn't even your primary stronghold in life. I don't think it's Cilvas intention but that's 100% what it will be read as. The hype will be the conflict, not the act, then it will all fade away in less than a week but the 'that's the guy that made the Ghostface digital skin suit' remains.
Outside of that, what's the demand of hearing music from a musician that isn't actually from that musician, but a computer mimicking them. I get that ppl get excited about new technology but on a fundamental level it's not new. Michael Jackson impersonators aren't necessarily doing Thriller numbers because that's not interesting at all. Scale it down from MJ to Wutang, then take the person showing a quirky talent out (impersonation). Replace him with Siri, make the album and sell or present it and tell me who could possibly care. The only thing the idea would have is the novelty of 'Oh they're even using AI skin-suit rappers', which will be eclipsed with 'he didn't even get their permission' then eclipsed with Lebron James dancing akwardly to Drake music in his car in less than 7 days.
I think you're the only person alive that made money from NFTs lol. I'm not into fake futurism so I don't buy the 'disruption' narrative. I think there are a lot of companies who's bread and butter is convincing investors they have the 'eventual' thing and so since the data era we've been getting waves of these 'eventual' concepts that never go anywere beyond 'speculative asset'. If something exists in the present and will be the future, it will also be the present. That's the natural progression. It helps 99% of ppl to not get lost in the sauce of their marketing.Quote:

By the time ppl were saying they're 'the next thing' they were already 'the thing'. I can't really remember when the world switched from websites to apps, because it just kinda gradually happened. There was no speculation of 'apps' its self, but rather what apps can do 'im going to make an app that does ____, it's going to be the future'.
The reason I think AI won't be mass adapted because the people at the helm tend not to understand intangibles about human beings. I'm not listening to Ghostface because of the sounds coming out of his mouth. I like that particular persona and how he express himself, and there's a meta-narrative between him and his creations that's interesting to me. If it's not his creation, and doesn't fall into the meta-narrative, it doesn't matter. People make mash-ups all the time. People do impersonations, people do remakes etc. So creating art from an artist without the artists input is not new, but all of those things fall outside the meta narrative, and once outside the meta-narrative, it's not interesting and doesn't matter.
They just made a Mike Tyson series without Mike Tyson. Minus the computer, the idea isn't new. If a computer does it it's even less interesting because that's no story.
AI art was a conversation for about 2 months. Nobody cares anymore and most ppl said the same thing, 'soulless, pointless'. There are plenty of ppl that can remake or make DaVinci type art, even better than him by all measures, but it doesn't matter because DaVinci's art matters because the meta-narrative around them, not because there's something about them that's unreplicable. Anything else is a DaVinci themed print-out. Thats why we learn about history when learning about artists.
We've debated this many times, and I disagree.
It doesn't matter how interested you are in Ghostface and his musical skill personally because at a certain point, you won't be able to tell the difference.
Your entire interaction and knowledge of Ghostface is digital (other than a concert, which can also be a hologram). People will be programming their whole social media existence by AI because they know the algorithm is going to give them the best possible results.
AI can change everything because it can think of ideas humans don't. Its not a fad thats just going to go away. It could be the end of history as a concept.
See? Haven't even done it and there's already a debate ongoing. Lovely. :)
@everyone... if there was an AI program that you could feed all your favorite Wu songs and ask it to produce more... would you buy that app?
@forenziks please let me know the AI prgram you use for extracting acapellas. Thanks
I've predicted an app that could soundtrack your life and make music uniquely tailored to your taste. You could program it to make 10 Biggie albums, as if he never died.
I'm not saying this is necessarily a good idea, but that its a matter of time before it happens.

AI music is like sex dolls compared to women
Bruce Lee is something else. Nowadays the Bruce Lee estate is pretty overprotective about his image. They did not even make him part of the Ip Man films. But we have to remember that a Bruce Lee was his own genre at one point, Bruceploitation. Anybody that looked like him, was names like him. Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Leong, Dragon Lee, et cetera. That was just horrible.Quote:

But the general concensus in my circles was that this was pretty awesome animation and brought somebody back pretty well, by the standards of that time.
But Bruce is dead. So let's talk about a living musician. Because otherwise we could also start talking about JUICEWRLD & 2Pac, and how they are splicing together material recorded by them.
Hatsune Mikune & Gorillaz. Hatsune Mikune is a completely virtual artist. Or rather Vocaloid. She seems to be like a precursor to this. Gorillaz, driven by Damon Albarn, is for the better part a virtual artist. I could see this working for Gorillaz. As Gorillaz is an outlet for Damon Albarn, but could live on after he is gone or done with it. They were always meant for this.
*I wrote something else here, but it got lost.*
Let's take Ghostface. Here, I can understand your point of view. But I think it all depends on the artist. Consent is a thing though, as are ethics. An artist could be pretty unhappy if someone ran away with their voice trying to show something off. But this has been happening for the longest time in tech. Like the playboy photo that was used for the creation of JPEG. Not saying it is right. I think, you could try something out just to see how far you could push it. And see what the results are. It is not like there is malice in this, like the deep fakes in porn. One of the options with this is off course to let people say things they would normally not. That would really just be a hype, and forgotten the next day. Also, where is the artistic merit in that?
Also, the conflict is already here. So you are right about that one.
