Would you like a song from John Legend about your morning walk? Or a ditty from Demi Lovato about dinner last night? Or a ballad about a sunset from T-Pain? YouTube is releasing a tool that will make those a reality.
Called Dream Tracks, the AI tool will let users input a brief prompt and select a participating artist. The AI will then create track of up to 30 seconds that users can include in a YouTube Shorts video. The tool will initially be available to a select group of creators, with the current roster of participating artists including Alec Benjamin, Charlie Puth, Charli Xcx, Demi Lovato, John Legend, Papoose, Sia, T-Pain, and Troye Sivan.
You can see an example featuring Charlie Puth, below.

Editors’ Note: This interview is the first in a series commemorating the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop on August 11
“I mean, there were people who used to look at us at that time and say, ‘Where is the band?’” recalls LL Cool J of hip-hop’s early years and the reaction audiences would have.
As the genre hits its 50th birthday on August 11, no one is asking where the band is anymore. The culture that has emerged out of what Kool Herc was doing that night in 1973 in the rec room of 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in the West Bronx is the most popular musical genre on the planet.
One of the first mainstream stars of hip-hop, LL Cool J himself has come a long way from dropping his “I Need a Beat” single back in 1984. A multi-Grammy winner, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and the first rapper to receive a Kennedy Center Honor,...

We can't talk about the greatest rappers to come out of the golden age of hip-hop without mentioning Fat Joe. The Puerto Rican and Cuban rapper from the Bronx, NY, has undoubtedly had a major impact on the culture and its movement, putting out 13 studio albums and numerous hit singles like "Flow Joe," "What's Luv?," "Lean Back," and many more. The Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist also started his own record label Terror Squad Production, where he earned a reputation for cultivating raw talents like legendary Puerto Rican emcee Big Pun, who died on Feb. 7, 2000, at age 28.
While 30 years have gone by since Fat Joe dropped his debut first album, "Represent," in 1993, the Boricua artist still remains relevant as one of hip-hop's GOATs. "I want them to know I'm one of the greats and that I've always been an ambassador for hip-hop and put that first," Fat Joe tells Popsugar of his cultural impact.

The rest of your very, very brief recap: Uncle Snoop, a.k.a. Snoop Dogg, or the Artist Formerly Known As Snoop Lion, hosted; notable performances included Common and Migos; and most important, the Cyphers. You had G-Eazy; Lil Mama, Logic and Troy Ave; Vic Mensa and David Banner; Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, and Ty Dolla $ign; and in what is definitely the most romantic Cypher of all time, Remy Ma and her beau, Papoose.

Though former Terror Squad rapper Remy Ma is in the middle of serving an eight-year prison sentence, her husband, Brooklyn Mc Papoose, is confident that if she weren't behind bars, rap's female landscape wouldn't be so one-sided.
"If she was home, the game would be different. Period, that's just the truth," Papoose told MTV News. "Not to take away from what anybody else is doin', because we support all that, but we all know it's an empty spot now that Remy's locked up."
Remy, 29, got her start under the guidance of the late Big Pun. After Pun's death in 2000, her career flourished as a member of Fat Joe's Terror Squad and really took off after appearing on the group's 2004 hit single "Lean Back.

Former Fat Joe protégé Remy Ma's appeal for her 2008 conviction on assault was denied on Thursday as the New York Court of Appeals ruled to uphold the original decision.
According to the The Associated Press, the court struck down the argument that the judge in the rapper's case failed to properly inform jurors of pertinent details before the group reached a verdict.
The 29-year-old artist, who was born Reminisce Smith, remains behind bars serving out the rest of her eight-year sentence.
Three years ago, Remy Ma was found guilty of assault, weapons possession and coercion stemming from a July 2007 incident where an associate of the Bronx native was shot after an altercation between the pair.

Rapper Remy Ma is moving closer to walking free from New York's notorious Riker's Island prison after receiving positive news regarding her latest appeal for freedom. The hip-hop star was jailed for eight years in May 2008 after she was found guilty of shooting Makeda Barnes Joseph in the abdomen during an altercation in July 2007.
Remy Ma, who maintained her innocence throughout the ordeal, was charged with assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion. Her first appeal fell through in 2009, but a second is giving the hip-hop star a little hope.
Her husband, fellow rapper Papoose, reveals progress is being made in the case and he's eager for Remy's release, so they can live together as a married couple. He says, "I can't speak about it in detail due to legal reasons, but we recently got some great news concerning her second appeal. Let's just say that she's blessed. I highly doubt...

The woman was listed in the clip as Nicki from the Bronx, and rumors spread online that it was a pre-Young Money Nicki Minaj. The fodder intensified once the audio spread in which the Bronx woman listed details about their relationship.
