In a New Interview Wth VIBE, Tyga Opens Up About His New Album $Tarface, Which Also Serves As an Introduction to the Artist's New Alter

The rapper opened up to VIBE about embracing the new technology, his mom’s passing, and who the new project is really for. In a new interview wth VIBE, Tyga opens up about his new album $tarface, which also serves as an introduction to the artist's new alter ego, an eighties-influenced empressario whose music sounds very different from Tyga's catalog, which by now spans well over a decade. In the interview, Tyga addressed fans who this week speculated online that his album uses A.I. Speaking on the claims, Tyga is forthright about his use of the technology on the album.

I've never spoken on this with anybody because I always felt like it's similar to a magician explaining how he does his tricks. Like why are people overexplaining how they make shit that's good? If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. I don't care.

It's supposed to give you an experience and a feeling. But we definitely used AI as a [tool]. And I know people are going to be mad about me saying this, but it's where technology is going.

It's no different than when Auto-Tune came out. Some people were opposed to it, but real artists took it and used it. We were like, You know what?

I need some '80 synths for a certain part of this song. I need a guitar solo done ASAP. It is what it is.

But as far as the writing, all the vocals are all me. There's nothing wrong with using technology as a tool. You know what?
