Rapping

[War Lord]

Some of you may remember me rapping a few years back. It's been about 3 or 4 years since I stopped.

I have decided to pick this back up.
I've spent over a grand on equipment thus far to start back up. I figured if I was going to do it again, it had better sound halfway decent this time.

I've picked up the following:

Audio Technica Monitor Headphones (http://www.zzounds.com/item--AUTATHM40FS)
Shure KSM27 Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone (http://www.zzounds.com/item--SHUKSM27)
Emu 1820 24-Bit/192kHz Interface with 2 Preamps (Sound Card) (http://www.zzounds.com/item--EMU1820)
2 KRK RP5 Rokit Powered 2-Way Active Monitor (http://www.zzounds.com/item--KRKRP5)

Plus other assorted cables, and accessories.

My sound quality should be very good this time and I'm pretty excited to get back into it. I've been working on finishing up a couple of unfinished songs I found in an old notebook.

I know most of you hate rap but meh, I'll keep you posted anyway.

I like rap so I would like to hear it. So whats your rapping name ?

Cool. As long as I don't have to pay for it, then I'm all ears :D Seriously, lookin' forward to it, homie.

[moocow]

*I'm* 'cited about it. So much so that I wet my pants.

Kidding.

But it is really cool that you're getting back into it, J. :thumbsup:

Ice on my fingers, on my toes and in my toys, y'all!

I'm looking forward to hearing what comes out of that boss equipment. :cool:

[DarkPanther]

...it will not top your post. I assure you.

[Dechipher]

Do you write the music as well? Or the background....beats....or whatever you rappers call them? :D

[me2]

I demand we have a rap battle.

[vegeta1215]

I remember downloading some songs you did a few years back. They were great (and I got a good laugh out of some parts). Looking forward to hearing your new stuff.

I used to freestyle in AGN chat.

[Darth Marsden]

Freestying's cool, everyone agrees,
It's lets them know you're cool to a T,
It don't matter if you're Black, White, whatever
You can do it here, there, wherever

(Actual freestyle. Respect.)

That's a sample.
I haven't even mixed that at all. All I did was add a little reverb to it. It's just a clean recording, but I think if I mixed it some and spent some time I could make it sound even better than it does.

I'm pretty pleased with the quality. Light years ahead of my old stuff. I had to mix the old stuff so much to get it to sound halfway decent and now this sounds clean as soon as it comes in.

I get them from various producers on the net.

[Darth Marsden]

Nice, very nice.

...not sure what else to say, yo.

[Eckels]

WL, send me the vocal track from that, no background.

[Tygore]

Not bad. I'm not a huge rap fan, but that wasn't bad at all.

Of course, when I hear it, I picture that guy in your avatar doing it, angry face and all. Seemed a little bit odd.

[Gerudo]

you know, meeting you irl kinda puts in the wow factor, cause you dont seem like the person that would rap like that.

mr donatos manager ;p

That's a sample.

When I heard that earlier, I nearly wet my pants. No, really, you rock my socks. Also, my sister and her friends loved it, and Bladen danced. <3

Nice. Agreed, much improved.

[Dechipher]

Haha, I was gonna request that as well...

I always told you that you were a fag for stopping. So youre not a fag anymore, and thats special. Being a fag is ungood.
