I Made A Rap Song With ChatGPT

Hey everyone, it's your boy B. Today, we're embarking on a creative journey using ChatGPT, one of the most famous AI bots, to help us generate some fire lyrics and make our song blow up without spending a single dollar. As a novice in song creation, I'm doing this all from scratch with the help of AI. Let's dive into the three key elements for making this a hit song:

A Fire Beat: The beat is crucial. If the beat is trash, the entire song is trash.
Catchy Lyrics: The lyrics must be memorable and catchy. If they aren't, people won't want to hear them again.
Uniqueness: The song should be different and unique, or at least reminiscent of an already popular song.

Finding the Perfect Beat

After searching YouTube for about an hour, I found a beat titled "Little Durk ESTG Type Beat - Clutch" made by Slim 100s. Slim has allowed free non-profit use of his beats, so I reached out to him. His quick response, granting permission to use any beat on his channel, set us in motion.

Generating Catchy Lyrics with ChatGPT

For the lyrics, I turned to ChatGPT for assistance. Here’s how the process went:

Initial Attempt:

"Got me feeling like I'm on top of the world, every time I'm with your girl..."

This felt too sing-songy for a rap song.

Second Attempt:
```
"From the concrete jungle to the city lights, we hustle hard every day and night..."
```
This was much better. It evoked the right vibe and was adaptable to the beat.

Fine-Tuning:

"Cruising down the block, my head up high, got my shades on, flying high..."

ChatGPT provided full verses and hooks which I tweaked to better fit our style and beat.

Recording and Mixing

Using Audacity, I mixed the audio with the beat. Despite having no prior experience in mixing and mastering, I managed to get it done. Here’s a sample of how the final lyrics turned out:

Cruising down the block with my head high,
Got my shades on Balenciaga, young [N-word] fly,
Yeah, I'm the king of the hood, let's get that understood,
The diamond around my neck cost a quarter mill, so I'm good.

And here's the refined version for the outro:

I know I'm not perfect, I made a lot of mistakes,
But every day I'm learning, you gotta stay true to yourself and your loved ones.
Haters talking but I ain't phased, I just caught a PJ to Dubai,
I'm getting money, I'm getting paid, push that other [stuff] to the side.

Mixing everything together, I ended up with a track I’m proud of. Major shoutout to Slim 100's for the beat.
