Sheryl Crow is not a fan of Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle”

Earlier this year, Drake released “Taylor Made Freestyle,” a track featuring AI vocals from the late Tupac Shakur and the very much alive Snoop Dogg (who was stunned). In a BBC segment published on Saturday, country icon Sheryl Crow criticized the Canadian rapper for using the technology, which she calls a “slippery slope” and a “treason” that “goes against everything humanity is based on.”

“You can’t bring someone back from the dead and think they’ll tolerate it,” Crow said. “I’m sure Drake thought, ‘Yeah, I shouldn’t do it, but I’ll apologize later.’ But it’s already happened and people are going to find it even if he takes it down.”

“It’s disgusting,” she continued. “It goes against the life force that lies within all of us.”

Crow’s hatred of AI began when her friend paid to have an AI clone of John Mayer replace her voice and she was so “terrified” by the results that she “literally hyperventilated.” “I know John and I know the nuances of his voice,” she explained. “And there’s no way you could have known he wasn’t singing that song.”

She added: “AI can do a lot of things, but it can’t perform live. So as long as we have live music, as long as we have hands holding a paintbrush, all is not lost.”

Earlier this year, Crow released her new album evolution. It’s not a good time to be Drake considering Kendrick Lamar’s recent hate party at the Forum.
