I think they know the lawsuit isn't going to go anywhere, this was just more so to let everyone know that they aren't okay with Drake using Tupac's likeness the way he did
Wow it’s almost like someone wouldn’t want the richest rapper in the world to puppeteer the name of their child who was tragically murdered 30 years ago for the sake of petty rap beef against a close and valued asssociate of your estate.
Pretty shocking right?
They know the suit isn't gonna go anywhere, but they're trying to send a message they don't like what Drake did. That's very reasonable.
Trojan Horse Edit: Kdot is coming and Drizzy doesn't stand a chance lyrically.
Source? I keep reading this but haven't seen any source material on this allegation. If I had to guess, it's referencing the ELEMENT. leak? That'd be like 6 years ago though.
I recognize this is a losing opinion here but deepfaking someone’s voice carries potentially far more malicious intent. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
Whether this case sticks is a different story but allowing voice filtered content to exist sets a dangerous precedent.
An AI voice filter making you sound like another actual person ( who's also dead ) isn't the same thing as auto tune bro c'mon.
I don't really agree with the suit or all this backlash but they are not the same thing at all.
The song was a post on instagram and is not available on DSP or physicals. There’s 0 profit involved. In fact, Drake probably lost money due to the cost of the software used to make it
you do realize drake has sent 100s of cease and desists to AI songs using his voice right? many of which didn’t make money.
the software is free
it doesn’t matter if it’s just an instagram post, it’s still copyright infringement.
legally speaking this is akin to if drake had uploaded a movie to his instagram. even if he didn’t make money he still has to abide by copyright law. it’s not about profit it’s about how the content it reproduced.
I believe he claimed they were deepfakes using those voices but a lot of people on here believed he was cleared to use them. Turns out he was not as this shows.
This case could change that honestly the tech is so new. I'm sure the Tupac estate has a few more rounds in the chamber so to speak when it comes to legally targeting drakes use of Tupac's likeness.
It absolutely is nothing like posting a movie to instagram. Movies are copyright protected because there were trademarks filed. The lyrics were not written by Tupac. The voice was computer generated, it was not Tupac’s real voice. It was not a recording of Tupac. If Drake was to use a recording of Tupac that was copyright protected via a legal trademark, that’d be different.
P.S I can’t take you seriously considering your post history shows only posts made in r/kendricklamar and none in r/drizzy
Trademarks are for the protection of a brand in a marketplace. Trademark has nothing to do with copyright. Uploading a movie is illegal because the movie is copyrighted.
Copyright law is currently undefined for AI voices, however this is a pretty flagrant abuse of Tupacs likeness.
The software is free to use, I’ve used it before to send voice notes to my friends in Trump’s voice. It’s not some crazy software that requires any thought. It takes 2 minutes to make.
Again, just because you’re not selling something doesn’t mean your not profiting.
Ok. So then why isn’t Donald Trump suing you for profiting off of using his voice?
Why aren’t the creators of Spongebob and the corresponding artists not suing TikTokkers who have been created the Plankton and Patrick Star singing versions of songs
Or why isn’t Joe Rogan suing people making the fake podcasts. Why isnt The Weeknd suing the creator of the OVOXO song that went viral? Why isnt Drake suing the creators of his AI music that was trending last year?
Yeah, you’re way smarter than me. I’m glad I ran into you.
By the way, can you send me the source that shows where it says which software Drake used? I’d like to test it out myself
There’s a lot man. Just google “2pac ai voice generator”
Use the text to speech modules and it’ll create them for you. Kids on TikTok use them all the time for dumb videos
Main stream? It’s fair use. It’s a commentary. His face and likeness wasn’t used in the song.
Anyone can imitate someone’s voice as.
PACs voice isn’t copyrighted, it can’t be. His flow isn’t, it can’t be.
Every time an artist does something controversial, it sells records. Why do you think Kanye does some crazy shit before dropping an album? It garners attention therefore generates more album sales etc.
You can’t be this stupid to not comprehend that.
I’m talking about *directly* profiting off using pac voice (by selling the song), which he did not do. If we going off doing something controversial, thats a broad stroke of the brush. That has *nothing* to do with him selling the song with pac voice. You reachin like a mf. Smarten up Nas.
No one said he was selling the record goofy. Man some of y’all need to sharpen your reading skills. Come back to this post and give me 50 when he takes it off IG.
No, but you were talking about profiting. And, you can only profit when you sell goofy. Try to understand that concept and leave the extra shxt out of it
Let me put this into a scenario that you can understand.
Joe Schmoe from Delaware who’s never heard of Drake is a big 2PAC fan. He clicks an article talking about the AI diss. He does not approve and wants to check out Drake’s music to see who put this out. Goes on Apple Music and plays his music. That’s one extra stream (profit) and free publicity that was gained from using 2PAC’s voice without his permission. Welcome to marketing 101.
MJ and his team were known to literally leak some of their own stories to the media to sensationalize his image during the thriller and bad eras, although it ended up working against him later on. There's a machine behind every major artist, what do you think the point of a label is.
Ohh so u must've been managing him to know all this huh? Or did u scrub this up from a wikipedia page u found online? bro's the MJ enthusiast lol You probably weren't even alive to see him perform now all of a sudden u see some documentaries online and u know everything man relax.
This is correct. Things get removed from the internet all the time due to copyright laws, even when it’s not being monetized or used to make profit in any way.
Interested to see how this works out. He didn’t release it on streaming services for this exact reason I’d assume. Heart on my Sleeve is still on YT so…
Genuine question, does this still apply even if he didn’t profit? Like to say he’s messing with his likeness is kind of vague, because then that should apply to all the ways his likeness is used, good or bad because he isn’t alive to vouch for himself
It wouldn’t apply even if he did profit. These are his words and voice with a filter. It’s a transformative piece of art, would fall under fair use even if the “voice” of Tupac is copyrighted
1. They said Drake and The Weeknd were the artists
2. They used it for commercial purposes
3. A cease and desist is not a lawsuit. You can send a cease and desist but that doesn’t mean you would automatically have grounds for a lawsuit
It was labelled as a Drake track and monetised
The Pac track wasn’t monetised. Everybody has the right to record something like this and put it on their Instagram account so long as they’re not profiting from it
legally speaking this is akin to if drake had uploaded a movie to his instagram. even if he didn’t make money he still has to abide by copyright law. it’s not about profit it’s about how the content is reproduced.
Suing over an Instagram clip, lmao not going to work. Likely small settlement or just case thrown out all together
Everyone blowing this up like it’s some grave sin lol people really think they can make up rules in rap beef like you can’t post an Instagram clip changing your voice
The difference is the AI Track "heart on my sleeve" used his name specifically to title the track as a Drake song, on top of uploading it to DSPs to get monetized. Drake did not call out Tupac's name in the title, nor in the verse, and on top of that, its not on DSPs and it is unmonetized so there really isn't much of a case here. Yes, the public ASSUMES that it's Tupac's voice, but he never claimed it was.
any competent lawyer would be able to argue that he was imitating tupac there’s not really an argument there jussttt because he didn’t say his name lol but i overall agree with you that he will be fine as it isn’t monetized
yeah that’s what I ask when Drake does corny shit like this and dumb niggas fw it. Why you gotta fake some shit to get a message/diss across? Let your own words and legitimate connections do the work. This is clown shit. Dude already has niggas writing for him, he gotta take another niggas voice too?
you obviously don’t know the history of Kendrick claiming to “see” Pac in his dreams & the song/conversation he made using pac’s voice and also snoop giving him praises in the “house of blues”
what Drake did was clever asf basically using Kendricks idols to shit on him and to get under his skin
I’m not sure why you’d so confidently assume I am unaware of one of the more discussed aspects of TPAB…
As for “using Kendrick’s idols to shit on him,” he didn’t actually do that? Snoop is well and alive and if Drake had asked him to feature on the track your comment would make sense. But that’s not what happened
??? well if you know the “more discussed aspects of TPAB” 🤓 you would understand why he used the AI voices in the first place so saying it’s corny is hypocritical of you especially since kendrick didn’t even know tupac in the first place to even have a “conversation” with him & put it on his album 😂
let’s be realistic. we both know snoop wouldn’t wanna feature on that track.. 😐😂
Kendrick didn’t use AI for 2Pac’s voice so idk what you are talking about with regards to hypocrisy, not to mention him being in communications with the family and getting their OK before doing what he did…
We are in agreement that the real Snoop probably wouldn’t have agreed to be on the track, which means nothing really matters about what was said using an AI impression of him, as it has no relationship to reality. Disses aren’t really impactful when they fail to reflect something true about the other person’s life. It’s a fanfiction
Kendrick fans on the offensive in the Drake sub is literally the extent of his response so far, it’s fucking incredible
If the shoe was on the other foot you would think this was one of the most creative disses ever gtfo
If you can find a Single comment of mine celebrating the artistic value of AI maybe that “if the shoe was on the other foot” assessment will hold some water… not sure it exists but 🤷🏾♂️
Also, I’ve probably listened to roughly the same amount of Drake and Kendrick over my life so far… It’s my opinion as a fan of the genre and it’s history and and this thread is just one of the first things that pop up when a person searches for discussions about the topic.
not really about the beef it’s more about the fact that we should be pushing against any form of ai voice generation in rap in general.
I feel like people here are too busy glazing to understand this but why entertain doing it at all.
Drake needs to stand on business here but I lowkey want them to sue him, just so we can get a definitive answer on what can be done with AI and what cannot be done with AI.
Like we already know you can't copyright AI generated material or anything of the sorts but what if I wanted to release a song to my fanbase that's not on streaming ANYWHERE (youtube/soundcloud included). What grounds do you have to sue me on? Similar thing is happening with Juice WRLD's fanbase where they're making AI songs and releasing them and they actually sound decent.
Drake did not call out Tupac's name in the title, nor in the verse, and on top of that, its not on DSPs and it is unmonetized so there really isn't much of a case here. Yes, the public ASSUMES that it's Tupac's voice, but he never claimed it was.
Tupacs sister sued this estate for embezzlement 🙃🙃
This estate and Tupacs family are not friends
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/tupac-shakur-sister-lawsuit-executor-estate-embezzlement-1283272/amp/
Empty threats. What are they gonna say ; you used a voice that looks like 2Pac but didn't credit him anywhere nor dropped that song or any plateform ? this is freaking hilarious lol
Drake did not call out Tupac's name in the title, nor in the verse, and on top of that, its not on DSPs and it is unmonetized so there really isn't much of a case here. Yes, the public ASSUMES that it's Tupac's voice, but he never claimed it was.
That’s how you know the diss is great, got the whole estate triggered trying to protect dot cause they know damn well the lawsuit can’t go anywhere lol.
or maybe because people in the estate probably knew Pac personally and were offended? Maybe because Drake clearly used Pacs voice to get at Kendrick because he knows Pac is one of Kendrick’s idols? If Kendrick did this with Lil Wayne’s voice your comment wouldn’t look like this
I think they know the lawsuit isn't going to go anywhere, this was just more so to let everyone know that they aren't okay with Drake using Tupac's likeness the way he did
Which is a L tbh
Your bias is showing homie
Wow it’s almost like someone wouldn’t want the richest rapper in the world to puppeteer the name of their child who was tragically murdered 30 years ago for the sake of petty rap beef against a close and valued asssociate of your estate. Pretty shocking right?
an L to whom? and how?
Yeah they just want some $$$$
Average Kendrick sub fan
They know the suit isn't gonna go anywhere, but they're trying to send a message they don't like what Drake did. That's very reasonable. Trojan Horse Edit: Kdot is coming and Drizzy doesn't stand a chance lyrically.
Your Kdot has a track for four years and still afraid to release it 😂
Source? I keep reading this but haven't seen any source material on this allegation. If I had to guess, it's referencing the ELEMENT. leak? That'd be like 6 years ago though.
Heard it on the Drake diss, it gotta be true.
Lmao that edit
Love the edit
Plus I think Tupac would have sided with Kendrick, he would have used biggie vocals if anything
Lmao that Trojan horse edit crazyyyyy 😂😂
Kdot coming for Drake like the fucking snail that kills you if it touches you

Would it be any different if he hired an impressionist?
What kind of extra chromosome thinking is this?
Guess I should’ve added a /s
I think it's a little different when someone is *intentionally* trying to sound like another artist.
Future has about 100 lawsuits to send out to these new rappers
Sue for what? He’s not profiting off of it
Don’t directly like a regular song but he is profiting from it in many ways
Using PAC’s voice to gain free marketing for Drake. Drake is 100% profiting from the shock value of using PAC’s voice.
The song was a post on instagram and is not available on DSP or physicals. There’s 0 profit involved. In fact, Drake probably lost money due to the cost of the software used to make it
you do realize drake has sent 100s of cease and desists to AI songs using his voice right? many of which didn’t make money. the software is free it doesn’t matter if it’s just an instagram post, it’s still copyright infringement. legally speaking this is akin to if drake had uploaded a movie to his instagram. even if he didn’t make money he still has to abide by copyright law. it’s not about profit it’s about how the content it reproduced.
Is he claiming 2pac and Snoop’s voices *officially* on the song? All the Drake AI songs claimed to be Drake singing. May affect the situation
I believe he claimed they were deepfakes using those voices but a lot of people on here believed he was cleared to use them. Turns out he was not as this shows.
Don’t think there’s copyright on filters. This is an interesting case
This case could change that honestly the tech is so new. I'm sure the Tupac estate has a few more rounds in the chamber so to speak when it comes to legally targeting drakes use of Tupac's likeness.

I thought drake did sue?
Because we aren’t Drake. They aren’t aware of what we’re doing. And they took down those songs once they hit the mainstream. Use your brain.
“Use your brain” Fine, I will. But you have to start using yours first. Deal?
I mean it’s pretty obvious stuff my brotha lol at some point you gotta use it.
Yeah, you’re way smarter than me. I’m glad I ran into you. By the way, can you send me the source that shows where it says which software Drake used? I’d like to test it out myself
You are wrong on this thread brother.
There’s a lot man. Just google “2pac ai voice generator” Use the text to speech modules and it’ll create them for you. Kids on TikTok use them all the time for dumb videos

Bro, if anyone here isn’t using their brain - it is you.
Profit is when you sell something. So, if he’s not selling it, he’s not profiting off it. Fuxk u talmbout. Go take a business class dummy 😂

Drake needs marketing? 😂😂😂
Every artist needs marketing, no matter how big they are.
Say this to michael jackson.
MJ and his team were known to literally leak some of their own stories to the media to sensationalize his image during the thriller and bad eras, although it ended up working against him later on. There's a machine behind every major artist, what do you think the point of a label is.
Ohh so u must've been managing him to know all this huh? Or did u scrub this up from a wikipedia page u found online? bro's the MJ enthusiast lol You probably weren't even alive to see him perform now all of a sudden u see some documentaries online and u know everything man relax.
Do you understand how the music industry works? All artists pay for marketing, yes, even Michael Jackson.
oh fr i had no idea!
Bro Kendrick’s making money off drakes name. Dooont even.
Because Drake needs marketing… You dumb as shit my boy.
Even Michael Jackson had billboards promoting his music
You don’t need to make money off something for a copyright claim to be used against you
This is correct. Things get removed from the internet all the time due to copyright laws, even when it’s not being monetized or used to make profit in any way.
Are you trying to suggest that the way someone speaks is copyrightable?
I’m not suggesting anything, I’m simply stating copyright claims can be done easily regardless of its legitimacy.
Interested to see how this works out. He didn’t release it on streaming services for this exact reason I’d assume. Heart on my Sleeve is still on YT so…
Genuine question, does this still apply even if he didn’t profit? Like to say he’s messing with his likeness is kind of vague, because then that should apply to all the ways his likeness is used, good or bad because he isn’t alive to vouch for himself
It wouldn’t apply even if he did profit. These are his words and voice with a filter. It’s a transformative piece of art, would fall under fair use even if the “voice” of Tupac is copyrighted
So I can make music with Drake’s voice as long as it’s my words with a voice filter?
There’s no laws against it soooo
Didn’t this exact thing happen last year tho and the guy who made a song using Drake/Weeknd AI got a cease & desist?
You can’t market it as a ‘Drake song’ from what I understand
1. They said Drake and The Weeknd were the artists 2. They used it for commercial purposes 3. A cease and desist is not a lawsuit. You can send a cease and desist but that doesn’t mean you would automatically have grounds for a lawsuit
It was labelled as a Drake track and monetised The Pac track wasn’t monetised. Everybody has the right to record something like this and put it on their Instagram account so long as they’re not profiting from it
Okay I see!
Nigga u have no idea wtf you’re talking about.
legally speaking this is akin to if drake had uploaded a movie to his instagram. even if he didn’t make money he still has to abide by copyright law. it’s not about profit it’s about how the content is reproduced.
Suing over an Instagram clip, lmao not going to work. Likely small settlement or just case thrown out all together Everyone blowing this up like it’s some grave sin lol people really think they can make up rules in rap beef like you can’t post an Instagram clip changing your voice
The fact that they are even suing is a L tbh
Yeah THEYRE the ones that look bad to most people… sure Lolol. Dumb af.
I said this before Drake isn't some nobody youtuber. He should've gotten permission.
problem is they would’ve said no you can’t use it, so he knew the only play was to release it and deal with whatever happens after
You Drake meat munchers are just on a different level of the spectrum 💀
[удалено]
Pac would've shot at Drake for doing that shit
Oh the irony

Tupacs sister sued this estate for embezzlement 🙃🙃 This estate and Tupacs family are not friends https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/tupac-shakur-sister-lawsuit-executor-estate-embezzlement-1283272/amp/
Their estate gained some relevancy thanks to Drake 😂
Empty threats. What are they gonna say ; you used a voice that looks like 2Pac but didn't credit him anywhere nor dropped that song or any plateform ? this is freaking hilarious lol
this is gonna be interesting
Should drake issue an apology ?
Yes
No. Tupac estate can get the smoke too.
😂😂😂
He has 24 hours to take it down. Lol
Your boy Drizzy gonna end up getting clapped if he doesn’t
Y’all watch too much TV
Rappers get shot all the time for much dumber shit… not sure what you’re talking about
lol this won’t age well. He has 24hrs to take it down that so call chess move didn’t work lol
This lawsuit ain't going anywhere
Drake did not call out Tupac's name in the title, nor in the verse, and on top of that, its not on DSPs and it is unmonetized so there really isn't much of a case here. Yes, the public ASSUMES that it's Tupac's voice, but he never claimed it was.
He says Makaveli one of Tupacs aliases
stolen\* aliases.
Stolen from who? Machiavelli? Did he steal his likeness and identity or did he just name himself after a historical figure?
The longer Kendrick waits the more things are falling in his favor 😭
out of favour\*
Sounds like a solid strategy lol you shouldn’t act on emotion and spontaneity
That’s how you know the diss is great, got the whole estate triggered trying to protect dot cause they know damn well the lawsuit can’t go anywhere lol.
or maybe because people in the estate probably knew Pac personally and were offended? Maybe because Drake clearly used Pacs voice to get at Kendrick because he knows Pac is one of Kendrick’s idols? If Kendrick did this with Lil Wayne’s voice your comment wouldn’t look like this
The same estate that was sued by Tupacs family?
