$TARFACE
['Drew Millard']
Pitchfork
Tyga is not the biggest rapper in the world.
It was probably not part of the plan for $TARFACE, the resulting slop-pop record created by Tyga under the name $TARFACE, to immediately draw derisive accusations of blatant AI usage upon the public learning of its very existence.
0.0If you want to get a sense of what $TARFACE actually sounds like, I suggest going to the free-to-use music AI music generator Treblo (née Sonauto), allegedly the one that Fenix Flexin used to create his hit single “Rubberz,” and typing in the following tags: “tyga, 1980s, synthpop, new wave, 80s pop, tyga, tyga, tyga, sung, thriller, synth.”
(You have to type “tyga” a bunch of times to make the model realize you want Tyga’s vocals; do not, under any circumstances, try to add a “Fenix Flexin” tag to get your AI Tyga to sing because it’ll just spit out Fenix Flexin vocals.)
But then a week later, when asked by VIBE if he used AI on the record, he pulled an about-face and said, “For sure.”
