Hello EB!

I recently shared this with the winners of Annon-Ages and I thought I'd share it with y'all as well.

Download my lil' experiment here!(enter three-letter code in box, wait 45 secs., click 'free download')

It's not my lyrics, it's not my beat, but it is yours truly going for mines on the MIC and so.... yeah. It's like a little warm-up demo before I get to the meat of the matter, if you will.

I know my vocals are rather high in the mix, something that either a compressor or a better mic will fix. And yes, the rhyme itself is kinda slow, but I meant for it to be that way - I actually wanted to slow my vocals down to give it a weird outer-space-time-warp feeling, but that's too distracting and annoying.

My next joint will be a straight-up 85BPM dis track, a little more of a back-to-basics approach. This is just me fucking around, trying to do some new shit.

Your comments and criticism are appreciated!

White people should not rap. That is all.

Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. Let me guess: black people shouldn't play the guitar, either?

I realize I'm a little rusty but I wouldn't say I'm embarrassing the entire honky population.

Black people should play Bass.

It's hard for me to believe that I'm getting dumber responses over here than I am at AA. $:-\$

Cool. I'll check this out once I get home

I won't listen to it, because I can't stand when people embarrass themselves. It makes me uncomfortable.

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #8 on:** February 26, 2008, 06:08:18 PM »

That's fine Adam, but I really don't feel that I've embarrassed myself in any way, shape or form.

Unless of course you're of the belief that white people shouldn't be rapping, like Tauntaun. Then I guess no matter what I did, I'd be embarrassing.

Dude I just listened and you sound totally like a large black man. Badass shit boy

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2008, 06:24:11 PM »

I liked it but you sound too much like Del and it's a bit too slow for my liking. Also you sound more black than PD and TBS.

Del? Ahhh that's a lovely compliment. As far as it being too slow, I guess that's why vocal drum & bass never caught on. Like I said, my next song will be more straight up hip-hop shit.

I am more black than PD and TBS, so...

Someone ban SC I'm serious

wtf dude

Edit: Am I the only person who got a gay porn video WTF

Eric P · « **Reply #13 on:** February 26, 2008, 06:53:44 PM »

kill the echo add in a slight reverb. small room should be fine. see if you can't increase the speed of your flow because your measure breaks aren't with the measure breaks of the song.

frankly you need a different beat behind you because it doesn't match what you're doing at all.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #14 on:** February 26, 2008, 06:56:59 PM »

One minute I get a gay porn video, the next I get a song wtf.

For real?

Maybe he got mad at Tauntaun's comments. Glad I didn't open that with people around.

Powerslave · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2008, 07:08:26 PM »

PD was accidentally browsing the wrong tab.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2008, 07:25:09 PM »

wtf I got gay porn the first time I opened it. The second time I got the song, which isn't bad at all btw - props Corny

But I dunno where the porn came from. This isn't even my computer

Powerslave · « **Reply #18 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:34:59 PM »

Dude I like this track, it's great. You should do more

Tauntaun · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:47:02 PM »

Finally listened to it, sounds like you be hailin from Nigger. I'm assuming you ran your voice through some effects or something cause you totally sound black. It was pretty good man I won't lie, the only things I didn't like were that your lyrics are like typical pop rap lyrics and don't really make a statement or say something about anything they're just a bunch of rhymes put together. Also I'd maybe think of lessening the intro I found myself skipping it saying let's get to the music already. Other than that good job just work on your flow a bit.

abrader · « **Reply #20 on:** February 27, 2008, 06:32:48 PM »

i cant wait to hear this.

at least someone listens to Saint C's jams.

tiesto · « **Reply #21 on:** February 27, 2008, 11:25:13 PM »

That's cool it's a D&B track... I think like others said you definitely need a bit of reverb/echo and other postprocessing, but it's definitely a good start...

Himu · « **Reply #22 on:** February 27, 2008, 11:26:58 PM »

i'll give it a listen
