NLE Choppa Helps King Von's Nephew Perform His Favorite Song From The Late Rapper Onstage: Watch

Not only is NLE Choppa one of the most comedic rappers in the game right now, but he is also one of the nicest. The Memphis, Tennessee star has repeatedly poured out so much love and kindness into the world in many ways. For how young he is (21), he shows just as much as maturity, if not more than others twice his age. One prime example you can look to is the amount of hate he received for dropping "SLUT ME OUT 2". The homophobic claims did not get to him and instead showed incredible mental strength. Now, NLE Choppa is helping carry on the legacy of King Von.

The hitmaker had a segment at the Vegandale Festival to attend to and what better way to go about it than to pay homage to a Chicago legend. NLE has shown that he has a lot of love for the late superstar in the making in the past, so this comes as no surprise. Choppa reached out to Von's nephew, GrandBabii, and asked him to help out with his show. According to him, he told GrandBabii that he needed to show out for his uncle and he was in, although for being so young the nerves were real.

However, as you can see in the video, he manages to jump right into it after a short chat with Choppa onstage. The latter also asked what song they should spin, and assumed his answer would be "Crazy Story". However, GrandBabii requested "GTA", as that was his favorite of his uncle's. According to Choppa's post, the younsgter told him he wants to pursue music, "After that he told me standing on the stage performing made him want to be a rapper. I’m just glad to play a small part in the successful career I know he’s gonna have one day

Jack Antonoff Criticizes Musicians Using AI In Their Creative Process

Jack Antonoff has spoken out strongly against the growing use of artificial intelligence in music, criticizing artists and producers who rely on AI generated tools to create songs.

In a lengthy message shared to Instagram this week, the Bleachers frontman described AI music creators as “godless w**res” while defending the traditional process of writing, recording, and performing music.

“What we do has become an ancient ritual,” Antonoff wrote. “You don't have to write music, you don't have to record it and you don't have to bring out the band and play it. And yet for us, the idea of optimizing what we do is a complete miss of the entire point of what compels us in the first place.”

The producer and songwriter explained that neither he nor the musicians around him ever wanted music making to become easier or faster, arguing that the unpredictability of the creative process is exactly what gives it meaning.

“We (myself, the band and everyone I know, frankly) have never been looking for this work to become quicker or easier. We were never frustrated by the randomness and magic it takes. We do it for that exact reason and without the process itself... nothingness,” he continued.

Antonoff, who has worked closely with artists including Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, and Sabrina Carpenter, also claimed that people using AI to imitate creativity will eventually expose themselves through low quality work.

“So to everyone who is gassed up about the new ways you can fake making art, by all means, drive right off that cliff. We're genuinely happy to see you go,” the 42 year old wrote. “Generations coming will be engaging in the ancient ritual of writing, recording and performing as it comes to us from God.”

Elsewhere in the post, Antonoff stressed that most musicians he knows are still committed to creating genuine and personal art rather than relying on technology to shortcut the process.

“Writing music, recording and performing it that's it. Nothing more embarrassing than considering there is a way to optimize that holy process,” he added. “Also interesting to me how it's mainly the out of touch shouting about following this nightmare. The new artists I know are genuinely uninterested in anything that doesn't come from within.”

Antonoff is scheduled to return to the stage with Bleachers in New Orleans on May 20.
