AI Eminem: The Mixtape We Can’t Ignore, But Must Defend Against

AI Eminem: The Mixtape We Can’t Ignore, But Must Defend Against

AI Eminem’s mixtape raises tough questions about authenticity, creativity, and whether Hip-Hop’s essence can survive in an artificially generated future.

Artificial intelligence is, in many ways, the great scoundrel of our age. The technology has barreled into creative spaces without checks, balances or any real regard for the fragile ecosystem of artistry. Right now, it feels less like innovation and more like the mass production of counterfeit creativity. And yet, every so often, an exception emerges that forces even the staunchest critic to pause.

Someone recently stitched together an entire mixtape of “AI Eminem” with the name Dope Sick. The creators didn’t just mimic Slim Shady. They did the unthinkable: they trained the machine to channel early-2000s Marshall Mathers with frightening precision. There are some glitches, but it truly sounds close to the raw, unfiltered Em that many fans still long for. Hardcore listeners immediately know it’s not Marshall Mathers. But to the casual ear, it sounds like unreleased material from a prime era, once thought to be long gone.

In the early 1900s, Walter Benjamin made a now-famous argument in The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. He theorized once art is endlessly replicated, it loses its “aura.” He said that its unique presence was tied to time and place. AI Eminem, despite how it feels, has no aura. It’s just a damn simulacrum that tricked me—tricked us—into nostalgia. And that’s what bothers me.

This digital quandary raises existential questions for every creator. What happens when machines can convincingly replicate the artistic peaks of our icons? On the other hand, what if the real Slim Shady decided to use this technology as a mirror, a way to rediscover the old him, the cadences or some new demented inspiration? This is the messy reality of artistry smashing into the algorithm.

A$AP Rocky Praised For Going ‘Toe-To-Toe’ With Denzel Washington

A$AP Rocky has been praised by Spike Lee for how he acted opposite Denzel Washington.

In his first significant acting role, Rocky plays the son of Washington’s character in Lee’s newest movie Highest 2 Lowest.

Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Lee said: “Yeah, don’t sleep on A$AP. In this film, Denzel and A$AP go toe-to-toe. What’s interesting is, even before I got involved with this film, I always thought that A$AP looked like he could be Denzel’s son. There’s a big resemblance. So when you see it on the screen, it adds an element of father and son.”

He reiterated: “Don’t sleep on A$AP. I’ve done five films with Denzel, and a lot of times when he’s in a scene with somebody, they just get overwhelmed. He’s one of the greatest living actors today, but A$AP wasn’t having that. Toe-to-toe, I mean, they were going at it.”

Rocky previously revealed the type of music Washington likes to listen to while on set.

He said: “Denzel would pull up to the movie set playing Pooh Shiesty and Moneybagg Yo, swear to God. Can’t make this up.”

Rocky added: “He likes to listen to Memphis rappers, but modern Memphis rappers. Then he started quoting NLE Choppa. I’m like, ‘You know NLE Choppa?!’ He like, ‘I don’t do drive-bys now, walk ’em down.’ I’m like, ‘Yo, Denzel, chill!’ It was crazy, he’s really tapped in, man.”

Highest 2 Lowest is billed as a “reinterpretation” of Akira Kurosawa’s classic 1963 film High and Low.

The Japanese crime film was based on the Ed McBain novel King’s Ransom, which tells the story of a businessman’s ruin following a ransom payment to kidnappers.

Spike also said to Deadline: “In Kurosawa’s film, Toshiro Mifune is a shoemaker. In our film Denzel Washington is a music mogul with his own label and his reputation as the best ears in the business. So, this is the fifth film with the dynamic duo.”

Rocky has previously acted in Hip Hop influenced comedy-drama Dope and is also set to be seen in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

He has also made numerous cameos as himself in films such as Zoolander 2 and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.

Drake’s Iceman Album Is Coming – Early Clues, Fan Theories and What to Expect

Drake’s Iceman Album Is Coming – Early Clues, Fan Theories and What to Expect

Revenge is a dish best served after it’s been set out to chill. Following his epic battle with Kendrick Lamar, Drake might be ready to get back at everyone who gave him the cold shoulder with a new solo album he’s been teasing for the past several months titled Iceman.

Drake Teases New Album

Aubrey has been doing some frigid foreshadowing for the past several months. Back in February, he teased the LP during an Anita Max Win Tour stop in Australia.

“Eventually, when the time is right, Drizzy Drake alone by himself is gonna have to have a one-on-one talk to y’all,” he told the Australian crowd. “When the time is right, I’ll be back with another album—a one-on-one conversation with y’all that you need to hear.”

The following month, he shared an ominous message on Instagram that appeared to reference his return. “U know I grew up non confrontational and always treated this game as a sport where my pen won gold, but my these days the podium has been hard for all of us to ignore,” it read.

“I understand that this next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy, but I hope you see my honesty as clarity not charity that answers some questions especially about the unanswered texts you’ve been sending me,” Drake added.

Drake's Iceman Album Tracklist

Since then, Drake’s provided more icy implications. In April, he appeared on a livestream with Adin Ross where he teased the new album. He did so while rocking a hoodie with “ICEMAN KIMI” stitched on it—a nod to F1 legend Kimi Räikkönen.

The following month, Drake shared an Instagram post with a carousel of photos with the caption “Iceman.” The post featured a signed George Gervin jersey—a former NBA legend known as the Iceman. The other pictures included iced-out jewelry and a painting of an icy mountain scene.

Nelly & Ashanti Admit To “Hating” Each Other

Nelly & Ashanti Admit To “Hating” Each Other

Ashanti and Nelly opened up about their rocky past and plans for the future in a new reality series that follows their life as partners and parents.

Ashanti and Nelly didn’t hold back in the teaser for their upcoming reality series Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together, where the couple opened up about the bitterness that followed their 2013 breakup and the unexpected path that led them back to each other.

The Hip-Hop duo, now married and raising a son, sat side by side in a confessional moment from the show, reflecting on the emotional fallout of their split.

“I hated her,” Nelly admitted. Ashanti echoed the sentiment with, “I hated him.” She added, “I didn’t think that we would get back together,” before Nelly smiled and said, “She got me y’all!”

The series, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at their life as newlyweds and parents while juggling demanding careers, is set to chronicle their journey from estranged exes to a committed couple.

The two tied the knot in December 2023 and welcomed their first child, a son, in July of the same year.

In the trailer, Ashanti reflects on how their relationship has evolved since their earlier days. “We have grown. We’re adults,” she said. Nelly followed up with, “But we’re still trying to have fun.”

Earlier this year, Ashanti told E! News that the couple is planning to expand their family.

“We’re going to add some more,” she said. “Definitely a girl to balance it out. I’m outnumbered in the house right now. So a girl would be great.”

Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together is expected to premiere later this year.
