Joe Rogan is impressed by an AI remake of one of 50 Cent’s hits.
In a recent episode of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the 58-year-old podcaster played a clip of a soulful rendition of 50 Cent’s 2003 hit “Many Men (Wish Death)” for his guest Carrot Top.
“Have you heard what they're doing with AI music?” asked Rogan near the 39-minute mark in the video linked here. “They took 50 Cent's ‘Many Men’ and made it, like, a soulful song that seems like it's from the 50's or 60's… It's not even a real human being's voice, and it's fucking good, dude. It's good where you're like, ‘Whoa.’”
"It seems weird hearing these lyrics with this kind of singing, you know, because it's like hardcore gangster rap music,” he continued.
“Nobody sings lyrics like that with those kinds of lyrics. It's gangster rap lyrics with an incredible voice,” Rogan added after listening to the track even further. “AI is fucking scary, man, that's so good. If that was a dude, if that was a dude who sang that, I was like, who's this guy, right? You know, I'm like, this guy is fire.”
This AI-generated cover is hardly the first of its kind. Last year, creator King Willonius went viral for his Motown recreation of Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor” — which she reposted to her social media accounts.
Willonius’ biggest claim to fame was his “BBL Drizzy” track, a similarly Motown-flavored parody track made shortly after Rick Ross coined the term in response to Drake’s then-leaked “Push Ups” diss track. Metro Boomin infamously flipped the song into an instrumental beat on Soundcloud, where it has since been streamed more than eight million times.
50 Cent has yet to respond to the AI remake of his song.
