Ab-Soul Shows Love To The Late Doeburger On "Soul Burger"

[@homerjunior3953]

I’ve really enjoyed this album. The production was def amped up & had great features as well. Ab-Soul killed this one

[@LoveyoDance]

Man that fkn Doe Burgers verse gives me chill every time!

[@Brotherwes44]

I kept listening to it over and over

[@dysonspheretxi]

Love this album. Imo Ab-Soul is a god teir emcee. His sound/style isn't for everybody, but its definitely for me. Lol.

[@bobbysealemeals]

thanks for talking about this - still digesting the album but def appreciate Soul going in a different creative direction here

[@bobbysealemeals]

also def agree with JID. Loved The Forever Story, amazing project

[@roachdoggjr4648]

Peace is one of the greatest rap songs I've heard in a long time. The story, the verses, the soaring guitar, it all shines and blends perfectly. The verse from Dough's perspective was incredible. This song is so motivational and inspirational for me. It's for sure one of Soul's best pieces of work.

[@richhomiechef]

Between peace and book of soul from control system, ab has made 2 of the most beautiful tributes ever.

[@MartyMcFly__25]

I was wondering about Doebuger’s voice on Peace, glad you gave an explanation. Haven’t watched/read to many in depth reviews

I love this album been bumping it since it came out

[@johnaldridge7307]

Ab-Soul is an Incredible Mc. Soul burger was a really dope album.

[@roachdoggjr4648]

I absolutely loved this album. It's been on constant repeat and might be tied with YOD1 for my AOTY. I can't describe the feeling, but there's a unique musical experience this album gave me, which I haven't felt in a decade. Soulo hits different for me. Thanks for covering this and showing it love Rob.

[@elliottwilson2352]

The album has no skips ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@midnitepostman]

Go Pro does exist

[@elliottwilson2352]

@midnitepostman lol I get it that shit number 1 on his playlist songs on Apple right now🤣🤣 but I get it, it ain't as bad as that Ye and Ty shit lol

[@midnitepostman]

@@elliottwilson2352 I love ab, but go pro ain't it 😭

[@elliottwilson2352]

@@midnitepostman oh no lol I know what you mean by that song it's alright l, but it ain't that bad like if it was on there cool if he didn't have a Ty feature I wouldn't trip

[@borpus9716]

I feel like it’s got a few weaker tracks, after listening a few times I’m usually skipping don julio 70, go pro and Saudi sweats but I fuck with the rest of it. Saudi sweats and don julio 70 can be a vibe but that run of 3 tracks is pretty weak imo

[@Gloey94704]

I love this album so much.

[@lamonth9019]

It’s also dope that he put Doeburger as a songwriter on all the songs too

That JasonMartin Problem song is insane 🔥🔥🔥

[@RobMarkman]

RIGHT?!

[@the5thelementhiphop497]

Facts

[@Zero-is-infinite]

B.U.C.K.O JR & Don Julio 70 were unexpectedly necessary. The “pilot” flip and in bucko and Fre$h with that “got 12 on me but I’m not ja” have been running through my head since I heard them.

Love the album

Glad you mentioned peace. That’s my favorite on the project. I been bumping Don Julio 70 heavy too. It reminds me of an old track they did on a Mac beat. “Bubble gum Blues” 🔥🔥🔥

[@Hey_Wiinter]

I was wondering whose voice was used for Doe’s verse. Genius said Doeburger and I was like how. I loved the album. Not sure if you caught this but he also sampled Kendrick Lamar’s how much a dollar cost on Righteous Man

[@AhmedMahmoud-or3zs]

Yeah, Soul said that Lupe put him in touch with his TA at MIT to work it out by AI.

[@melhayes204]

It’s dope how you read the lyrics to get around the copyright

[@RobMarkman]

I think it’s terrible the way the labels take monetization away from creators for snippets and they’re promoting the music. I work really hard on these videos, so figured lemme do this another way. I appreciate you and how you recognize what and why I’m doing it. 🫡

[@melhayes204]

@ we’re talking music and need the context. You’ve found a way to convey the message of the music in an entertaining way without the labels policing your content. We’re building a real hip-hop community with real conversation. Keep it cracking Rob.

[@RobMarkman]

@ this means the most to me man

[@Tredizzle1993]

Righteous man for sure my favorite, don Julio 70 is a banger too

[@lizzie1409]

everything you said about the AI part - SAY IT LOUDER 🗣️🗣️🗣️ this is a great use of the tool. a great example of an artist utilizing technology instead of the other way around. reminds me of the nipsey part of the heart pt 5 video.

Drake pioneered bringing "voices back to life" through A.I. as a narrative device in rap 🦉

[@rapaholicz]

Been sitting with this album for days now and was confused on when those Doeburger vocals were recorded. RapGenius listed it as a verse recorded by him. Thanks for clearing that up. Great insight on the album, and great content as per usual. Side note, that might be the clearest use of AI I’ve heard - almost impossible to tell it was AI

[@ryankellz]

Ab-soul stated he used A.I which Lupe was able to provide from M.I.T. that's ab-souls verse as in the perspective of Doe burger.

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah the thing about Genius is the annotations and a lot of the transcription is community based. So a lot of the time it’s the users doing the best they can with the info they have

[@ryankellz]

@RobMarkman ab-soul used an a.i. generator that lupe fiasco was able to get from m.i.t. the verse was ab-soul rapping as Doe burger, at the end of that verse you can hear the voice change bac to ab-soul

[@dopocc]

Amazing album. Great to finally see Soulo get the recognition he definitely deserves. Thank you!

[@itsaccool]

Lupe my goat. Ab an incredible wordsmith. The first beat on Peace is heavenly

[@AR215S.PHILLY]

Going back and forth between Ab and asap all week

[@rachaad]

Recent Soulo interview stated that 9th ( wonder ) played the sky the limitedless track to Clark Kent , gave his major blessing to it, and then passed away a week later . Something alone, those lines but that was his only connection he had with him base off that interview

[@RobMarkman]

Wow. RIP to Clark man. 💙

[@alonzo108]

Lupe 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 God tier MC Sentiment in the Verse

[@kallygreens]

I had no idea that was AI. I could tell it was Ab Soul’s pen but I thought he had Schoolboy portray Doe by rapping the verse for him.

[@RobMarkman]

I had to keep rewinding. And then i was able to confirm with someone

[@carltonmartin3526]

I need to listen again. I prefer the Herbert Album but this one is good too.

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah I’m not sure where this ranks against his others

[@professorskye]

Agreed that Peace is great. Personally, I’m all for the AI usage in this case, though would like it to be more explicit.

[@CityOfVlone]

Rob I felt the same way in that part of the song I was like how is doe rapping currently in today’s time it was so wild 😂 7:48

Yo Rob, I i found you from Culture United. Just wanna say I took your recommendation for Leon Thomas album and you were not lying AOTY for sure!

[@RobMarkman]

Thanks for stopping by. Glad the recommendation worked out for you. I saw Leon live earlier this week. He killed it

[@bozosworld5806]

I love that peace track I didn't pick up what u said but now I got to listen closer. My 2 songs are California Dream and B.U.C.K.O. Jr. the only song that isn't my fave is the Doechii song not feeling that one but I put the album on and let it play I love the album

[@tiagomarques9497]

8:39 soul talks on the listening party to the album, lupe wanted a doe feature, and he finally got it

[@TehSymbiote]

Shit keep getting Crazier and crazier and crazier...

[@nikiedmonds6236]

I love the Soul Burger album 🔥 Righteous Man and Peace are my favorite songs and the Doe part on Peace transitioning into Punch's verse with that beat change...masterful 💯 as far as the AI things, Soul didn't use AI during a battle which is what made drakes record super corny...BATTLING with AI is WACK

[@hoc1992]

This album is just ….. 🔥🔥 All the way through. Easily top 5 hip hop album of the year

[@elijahmatthias]

Peace is definitely one of my favorite tracks. Second play through I realized it would be really creepy if that truly was doeburger and as I listened I realized at the end you can hear the ai voice transition back Into ab souls voice to reveal that it was him

[@monetcarty2970]

Love the video idk how y’all are keeping up with all this good music dropping it’s hard enough for me just listening and not reacting. I love the Ab-Soul project. I won’t lie I had 3 skips on my 2nd listen but it’s growing on me the more I listen. 7:22 I felt like crying when I first listened to this part of the song. 10:47 I’m sure he got permission from the family to use his voice which Drake did not. But I can see ppl feeling away. 11:50 The Jason Martin 5 pack is 🔥too. Ok I’m done editing my comment.🤣

[@rabissenseicomprende7994]

💯

[@BlackZynfyndel]

Trash Theory just dropped a dope Soul ll Soul video too. Even my old head ass had no idea how deep they were in the UK music scene before dropping the singles we all know.

[@innerdecadencestudio]

I’m still waiting on that shirt Rob. 😂😂😂

[@JSII-lg1pn]

"Belly" is a Classic Film!! It May Not Have Been John Singleton, The Hughes Brothers or F. Gary Gray Tier, Yet I Feel Like Hype Did a Stellar Job Bringing DMX & NAS's Lyrics to Life and Crafted a Storyline in Proper Sequence Using His Signature Style of Cinematography to Present a One of One Visual "Hood Experience" ✊🏾💯

[@babasamurai1773]

Finally 😂

[@BeenLyrical]

Yea “Peace” is a deep record. Almost surreal

[@dogonjay2155]

This album is his best since Control system. It’s well balanced album. Still picking bars apart.

[@SpicyCottontail]

9:59 In the wise words of DJ He’d… it’s nuance!!

[@S.Consulting]

I really love Peace and I don't know for sure but I believe Soul would clear it with the family before using Doe's voice. I love this whole project enjoying West Coast Vibes

[@ess-pee-arr]

I love the new Ab-Soul album. I don't think Ab-Soul using AI for Doeburger's voice is anything like what drake did. I think it's more akin to Kendrick using AI visually to rap as Nipsey. There's a level of respect, understanding, and love with what both Dot and Soul did that is sorely lacking in what drake tried to pull off. I don't know if this is my favorite Ab-Soul album, but it is really good. It's kind of a different lane for him, and I think it's executed well. My favorites on the album so far are All That, California Dream, Don Julio 70, Crazier, and Righteous Man. I really dig what they did with the sample used in How Much A Dollar Cost in that last one.

[@BeenLyrical]

I have Soul Burger is his third best album behind Control System and These Days

[@jimboshrump]

Way better than that freddie gibbs album imo. But that gibbs snaps.

[@jimmyjump7932]

Ur a good ass dude rob

[@RobMarkman]

I try lol. 🫡

[@laxalt145]

The doe burger verse was written by soul and Jayson cash. Lupe did the AI

[@SpicyCottontail]

11:54 love the Problem record

[@thesharpmind7891]

✅

[@J3f3R20n]

I was seeing the Professor Skye analysis of the album, and he REALLY believed it was Doeburguer rapping in Peace, like he sort of had that verse before passing. Also, how do you feel about that AI app Lupe has that helps with rhymes? Isn't it the same as having ghost writers?

[@RobMarkman]

Shout to Professor skye!!!!! I gotta look into the AI Lupe thing. I don’t know how I feel about that. 🤔

[@huesoftheheart139]

To be honest y'all, I really fw'd Herbert HEAVY. I feel like I need to go back to this album bc it didn't resonate with me as heavy as I expected.

[@josmoore6007]

Righteous Man is my favorite song! What's your favorite song?

[@TshoCa]

These thumbnails are not the one, Rob. I pray they stop soon

[@RobMarkman]

I’m admittedly not great with thumbnails and ima one man show. We’ll see how it goes

[@NexusTheFocus]

Since Taylor made freestyle are we going to see of it's use? Just like Drake used it to bring back to life the voices of Pac and Snoop, Ab-soul brind his man back. Mark says it's different but that doesn't negate the fact that Soul may have very much been influenced by Taylor made. Or are we just findinf reason to not give Drake his flowers?

[@Shaun.is.typing]

🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔

[@silky-smooth]

Saudi Sweats

[@MrGt1983]

Ab-soul is probably the best pure lyricist out of black hippy. But I think what holds him back from resonating more is his voice. Jay rock, Schoolboy & Kendrick all have stronger rapping voices than him. For example it took me awhile to like Jay-Z’s voice after I heard him next to Biggie on “Brooklyn’s Finest” lol Some dudes vocals just hit harder than others unfortunately 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@NatureBoyMk6]

These comments got me wondering if we’re listening to the same album… this album was awful to me personally. Maybe 3 joints that I can go back to. Hella commercial bars.. JID washed this man out on his own shit.

[@RobMarkman]

A lot of people like it, but everyone got different tastes. It’s all subjective

[@Zero-is-infinite]

10:08 this can’t be a drake conversation, this was a use for substances to create art, bring closure, & tell us all the story of what happened. The drake sht, as usual is just for clicks and cheap heat.
