Man Who Sold The World 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2006 I have a secret identity: I'm a rapper. Yeah, the bags out of the closet and I was contemplating putting this up for awhile. I finally decided to because 1. I'm bored at work and 2. I want your honest opinion of my material. I only have one commercial song listed as "Summer Girl". But give it a listen and drop some feedback. Rick_JamesB1tch's Music Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2006 Theres something missing in your delivery... I don't know if its the microphone you're using or what, but the vocals lack punch and confidence. I guess just keep working on your style until you find something that you're ultimately happy with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted August 14, 2006 I agree. I think his voice/accent is made better for a "Biggie" style delivery than what he's going for. The lyrics are OK, and the music is at least decent produced- "Summer Girl" sounds like someone singing karaoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheesalaIsGood 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2006 I dig the beats but I'm with the other posters in that there is something wrong with the way your voice sounds. The mic your using is killing your sound. It seems that the mic is keeping your voice from being mixed in with the rest of the sound. Plus, it sounds like you are jamming in a few too many words for the beat to allow it. The lyrics are pretty good. Keep working on it, you are off to a good start.

Man Who Sold The World 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah, we used a five dollar mic and the reverb didn't work on Hands In The Air, which I think had the best message but the worst production. I've gotten the delivery better in other tracks I've done since these four were produced with a single I've got coming out called "Myspace Freestyle". I produced these tracks a little over a year ago and I've been working harder since then with a few tracks that should be up in about a month or so. Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. Oh, and rapping for right now is a hobby for me, i'm not trying to get into it, but it's a cool little release when I'm stressed out. If I get a deal, I'm not gonna be stupid and not take it though.

Man Who Sold The World 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 I'm down for a collab. I've been writing alot between posting here and working night shifts, so I believe my material has stepped up. I slowed down on my topical writing and just went for the straight up 16's. Let me know what's up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 Both the title of your song "Summer Girl", the opening sample (Boyz II Men), and the opening lyric (Cool J's "I need love!") are all ripped off and while it's not bad to sample one thing, you've just blatantly copied other people's work and threw it against the wall. It sounds like you're using Nintendo music as the background. Your voice needs to be deeper. You're not awful, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
