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
Shure KSM27 Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Emu 1820 24-Bit/192kHz Interface with 2 Preamps (Sound Card)
2 KRK RP5 Rokit Powered 2-Way Active Monitor
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 😃 Seriously, lookin' forward to it, homie.
*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:
I've got hoes....I've got hoes....In different area codes....areaaaaa codes...
(inside joke)
Where do you get/how do you make your beats?

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. 😎
...it will not top your post. I assure you.
Do you write the music as well? Or the background....beats....or whatever you rappers call them? 😃
I demand we have a rap battle.
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.
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.
Nice, very nice.
...not sure what else to say, yo.
WL, send me the vocal track from that, no background.
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.
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

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

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.
