King shares his unconventional path into AI during the writer's strike, how one playful idea turned into the first-ever AI sample in music history, and why he sees AI as a creative superpower for artists who've already put in their 10,000 hours. Together, they explore: - The story behind BBL Drizzy and how it went from a joke to a Drake sample. - Why AI didn't replace King's creativity — it amplified decades of work. - The debate: should AI-generated songs be valued the same as human-made music? - The rise of AI-created artists and what that means for representation, ownership, and opportunity. - How AI can democratize creativity, especially for Black creators who've been historically boxed out of traditional industries. This is a wide-ranging, funny, and thought-provoking conversation about art, culture, and what it means to create in the age of AI.
