Bostonian hip-hop for grownups since 1990. Tommy O'Deed, Matt Reyes, and Bill Ierardi make music the old-fashioned way: for the love of it.

It's 32 years since The Division Bell was released in the UK, two days before the band's world tour began in the USA. What's your favourite track from the album?

Jay-Z’s longtime collaborator Young Guru says it’s common for hip-hop producers to make funk and soul samples with AI, rather than license original music or hire musicians: “They’re getting really good at prompting.” #RollingStoneFutureOfMusic Read: rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

Mike Johnson: Tonight we have created a new award. We are going to do something we've never done before. We will honor him with a new award. He is the first ever recipient of the America first award. That is this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the golden era.

Something amusingly similar happened to me. Back in 1997 I produced a song containing a very long sample recorded off an old cartoon. For some reason just recently, YouTube began identifying clips of that original cartoon as MY song! I didn't ask for it, but hey I'll take it! 😀

People are feeding classic text into AI detectors and it's being labeled AI, because AI was built on a collation of classic text, so the detector is confusing AI-paraphrased quotes with original human sources. It's like AI labeling "Under Pressure" as a copy of "Ice Ice Baby".

This AI text detector says Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was written by AI.

I'm going to have to get used to seeing rap history summarized by young people who learned it from a chronologically detached context, similar to how I learned about jazz or funk. It's just what happens when a cultural innovation endures long enough to become multigenerational.

I ended up doing something like this back in 1999, when I was active on AOL Star Wars chats & boards. I didn't like "Phantom Menace" for many reasons, which I shared. But in opposition to truly irrational attacks by conflict-stoking trolls, I eventually found myself defending it.

Hating on something but having to defend it because the haters are hating on it WRONG
