Polo G – “Go Stupid” (Feat. Stunna 4 Vegas & NLE Choppa)
The young Chicago rapper Polo G has a rare gift for bluesy, melodic, mournful takes on his hometown's drill sound. Last year's Die A Legend, my favorite rap album of 2019, was a heavy piece of work that burst with thought and feeling. And yet Polo G can also flat-out rap when he feels like it, and that's what he does on his new single "Go Stupid." He has company. "Go Stupid" is a summit meeting between three extremely hungry rappers who all had breakout years in 2019. On "Go Stupid," Polo G teams up with Stunna 4 Vegas, the frequent DaBaby collaborator from North Carolina, and the young Memphis insurgent NLE Choppa. All of them are young — Polo is 21, Stunna is 24, and Choppa is 17. And on "Go Stupid," all of them have energy. The song, which has no chorus, is just all three rappers ripping up a Mike Will Made-It/Tay Keith beat. It's fun as hell. In director Michael Garcia's "Go Stupid" video, all three rappers incite an unruly day at a high-school. It's the sort of cheesy, ridiculous
This AI Travis Scott Is A Pretty Good Rapper And Obsessed With Food
Remember when Grimes said that "live music is going to be obsolete soon" because of AI art? Well, it looks like Travis Scott will be the first casualty of the robot wars, as digital agency Space150 has already created a fake Travis Scott song using artificial intelligence that they're calling, yes, Travis Bott. Adweek reports that Travis Bott's sure-to-be-a-hit debut single, "Jack Park Canny Dope Man," was generated entirely by a machine learning model trained on Travis Scott's music. Space150 fed Travis Scott lyrics into a text generator model for two weeks to make the verses, and additional neural network programs were used to produce the beat. "We were sort of fascinated with like, 'What if we tried to make a song — like an actual good song — by using AI and basically creative directing AI?'” explains Ned Lampert, executive creative director at Space150. “And so we chose Travis Scott just because he is just such a unique artist and he has a unique sound and everything sort of has
