I looked it up and it is freaky, it's crazy, I don't know if I like it or if it's absolutely amazing. It is amazing. Like, I could put, ‘Write a rap song about Regina, Saskatchewan,” just type that in, and bang right in front of your eyes--one verse, hook, second verse, hook, chorus, bridge—bang,” Russell told the Western Standard..“Man, it's world-changing, and I don't think it's a good thing, honestly, for creativity, for artists, for students.
