Kanye West’s long-teased next album is… bullymade with the help of generative AI. In a post by X shared on Wednesday, March 25, the rapper revealed the album’s tracklist. The tracklist features 13 songs, including previously previewed songs like “Beauty and the Beast” and “Preacher Man,” with the caption “BULLY ON THE WAY NO AI.”
The post contradicts statements West made in an interview with Justin LaBaai last year. At the time, West told LaBaai, “We built AI into the writing process in the same way we built Autotune. It’s a tool, not a replacement.” In a video accompanying the conversation, some viewers noticed that West uses Audimee, a platform that uses AI to transform vocals royalty-free.
“It’s time to explain to people the power of AI in music,” West added in the interview. “Now you can isolate any song. You can take just the vocals, just the bassline, just the drums, and completely separate them. So when you send a song or a sample to an engineer, you just say ‘JS.’ [his engineer, John Scott]However, since the interview, multiple sources close to West, including music manager Peter Zideonwo and former Yeezy chief of staff and far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, have said: bully AI not included.
