A fan on social media has edited a new version of Drake's "Taylor Made Freestyle" that replaces 2Pac and Snoop Dogg's A.I. verses with one from the Toronto rapper himself. Drake dropped the song as a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar back on April 19, but he took it down soon after when 2Pac's estate threatened legal action.
The video has been getting plenty of support from fans in the comments section on YouTube. "This is the most brilliant way to use AI I've seen in a minute lol well done," one fan remarked. Another user wrote: "Wouldve been so much better and funnier if he woulda did this instead. You saved it lil bro."

2Pac's estate described the song as “a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the Estate’s legal right” and “a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time.” A statement from their lawyer continued: “The Estate would never have given its approval for this use. The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac’s voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult.” Check out the latest fan version of the song below.
