The music industry, especially the hip-hop scene, is incredibly competitive when it comes to aiming for the top. Becoming a world-famous beatmaker is a dream for many, but it’s not an easy feat. However, being the best in the world isn’t the only measure of success.
In recent years, the development of AI has brought significant changes to the world of beatmaking. AI has become capable of replacing human beatmakers, and it’s conceivable that AI might dominate the beat-making scene in the future.
But that’s precisely why it’s essential for us humans to approach beatmaking as a source of “enjoyment.” AI lacks true creativity and emotion. The beats crafted by humans with heart and soul possess something that AI can’t replicate.
Moreover, even if AI comes to dominate the beatmaking scene, by focusing on becoming a beatmaker deeply rooted in your own community and niche, you won’t need to compete with AI. By collaborating with local artists and showcasing your music at regional events, you can offer a unique value that AI cannot provide.
In the end, what matters most as a beatmaker is pouring your passion into your music and continually pursuing your own style. Instead of fearing the rise of AI, aim to shine with your own musical identity in your local community and niche. By doing so, even in a world dominated by AI, you should be able to find your own place. Genuinely enjoying beatmaking and continuing to express your individuality is the very reason for human beatmakers to exist.
