Genulyrics 1: No church in the wild

A conversation with Genudi can only be as interesting as the input it receives. As an experiment, and yes, out of Sunday laziness, I decided to enter song lyrics as my input.

For the opening of this Genulyrics collection, I turned to hip-hop’s most all-out producer: Kanye West.

You may have heard of Kanye West for his frequent outbursts of megalomania, or his lousy taste in female companionship.

As it turns out, he’s mainly a hip-hop producer. As superficial as his public life may be, over the years, I found some interesting gems in his lyrics, starting with the famous opening from Flashing Lights:

She don’t believe in shooting stars,
But she believes in shoes and cars.

Recently, a less publicized track caught my attention: No church in the wild.

The deep beat and lyrics inspired me to start this Genulyrics collection. Mostly because the hook is a perfect example of constructive input for the Genudi algorithm:

Human beings in a mob
What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a God?
What’s a God to a non-believer who don’t believe in anything?

The repetition of words within these simple questions is a great conversation starter for Genudi. It turns out that most of the lyrics are inspired, and creative.

I typed the sentences one after another in the program, to end up with this entertaining conversation: https://www.genudi.com/share/77/Dialog

Only four sentences in the dialog, Genudi, who has no prior knowledge of any language, responded…

What’s a god to a non-believer who don’t believe in a mob.

… which is very relevant to the theme of the song. Later on…

I stand by you, desire.

… caught my eye. Later, hilarity:

I stand by you, walk through the weed up until i get me into your encryption.

When you read the lyrics it came from, this one is pure gold:

I stand by you, walk through the wood like kiki shepherd.

Overall, this first Genulyrics was an extraordinary experience, which lead me to believe that poetry would also be an interesting type of input for the Genudi algorithm.
