I’m not really a fan here.

I want to be able to rap like Twista. If I use AI to change my voice and speed it up, it’s kinda fake.

Where’s the originality in that. I’ll never be *that good*, but I have fun doing it.

Now I guess using AI strictly for mastering is OK , but even then the results haven’t been good for me.

“But I have fun doing it.”

I think you nailed it here. The originality happened 25 years ago. That was fun! Then 25 years passed, life went on, and this project gave two old friends a reason to reconnect and see what the technology could do with our old songs. That was fun too!

Hey, I gotta say that reading your actual original words feels much more interesting than whatever is that artificial slop on your website!

Yeah, I built the website, but with a day job and 4 kids and about 64 other things going on, I did heavily lean into AI for the copy. :-)

it's pretty easy to make words that fast once you have the words written, fwiw. mostly breath control and there are things you think you could never do and you'll be doing it after a few times practicing. now writing the lyrics is a bit harder. twista is great
