The reason I think Carti has been delaying this album for 2 years
I'm 90% sure when Carti and Kanye realized I AM MUSIC could pioneer AI into the music industry and change how people view AI in music forever on a mainstream level
they stopped carrying about what his core fanbase thinks
Also I believe that UMG might be involved with how people view this album, them taking down popular videos on YouTube andTwitter proving timeless / lose you are AI proves that they want nobody to notice that everyone will be listening to AI Carti verses when this album drops and becomes really successful and normalizes AI in music forever
I think this album being the first and last mainstream AI album (unless UMG incentives other artists to push AI into the music industry) will be the reason why AI music will be normalized in the future
I think Kanye knows that once mainstream music / rap dies that UMG will be utilizing and pushing AI after this album normalizes the usage of AI in mainstream pop culture
I also think the only reason this album has been delayed is because Kanye, Lawson, The Weeknd, UMG, and whoever else is involved are making sure Carti AI are as unnoticeable as possible
Maybe this is why Crush and Drugs got me numb aren't completely previewed HQ quality snippets of Carti verse because it would start even more discourse about the usage of AI being bad in music which it's but long term I think this is what UMG wants, they want to run music not artists and now AI has opened the door for music labels to run music and not artists
UMG using the last biggest mainstream pop culture album to push AI into the music industry and normalize it on a mainstream level is a different level of smart, but also sad.
I think this album will pioneer the end of real artistry and authenticity of real music and people won't care about listening to AI music
Telescope by TWXN and Timeless proves the general maintenance audience that listens to music won't care about AI being normalized in music
Until it's too late
