Re: My first complete song ever

We must always and forever have hip-hops best interest at heart. We must allow ourselves to be critical of the music and culture so that ideas and beliefs that aren’t progressive can be eliminated and made unattractive to our youth. Our allegiance to Hip Hop has to be about more than romanticized ideas of misogyny, materialism, murder and mayhem. Instead our allegiances must be rooted in what we individually and collectively determine beneficial. The story of misogyny, materialism, murder and mayhem doesn’t end well. We’ve got proof. Doing what one believes is individually and collectively beneficial may allow for a better ending. Or better yet, no ending at all.

Re: Nexus
I did the whole song on the psp in headphones so I can see why it would sound cluttered but thanks for the feedback though. I'm working on the clarity and mixing.

Re: Nexus
Alright, well the beat: It sounds rather clipped. The electric guitar primarily. What program are you using to make your beats? Unless I have this all wrong and u didn't make the beat. I automatically assumed i guess...
Vocally: Delivery and the concept your going after is pretty cool, except for the pitch shift. Wasn't a fan. Style is there, effects are pretty cool once you start singing during the chorus, but its still a little rough along the edges of quality. What are you recording on? The content was typical, even if the delivery method wasn't. Money, eh, comes and goes homie, like the topic should lol. I noticed you said this is your first complete song ever? Pretty damn good if you ask me, but i admire more the style that ventures, than the style that mimics. That being said, if you were to polish the quality, fix some rushed lines, this would be pretty good. Id critique the beat but i don't know if you made it. You got potential, its just different, like your avy. Thumbs up.
P.ost S.cript.
Feed others pieces man, get active. The more you poke your nose everywhere the more others will poke their nose in your stuff.

Re: Nexus
I made the beat and did all the vocals on the psp. There is a program called Beaterator by Timbaland and I just started using it not too long ago and it's awesome. You know my step-brother dude. Christian's my step-brother.

And I really don't understand the hostility towards me. Marvin the Martian? Foo? Whats your deal dude? What do you think I'm fabricating all of this for fun?
-- Thu Feb 03, 2011 11:01 pm --
I appreciate the warm welcome onto the forum. Will I be getting more of that in the future? I just want a heads up of what's to come.

Re: Nexus
For A Rap Done On A PSP, Fucking Amazing!!! Quality Is Crisp For What You Did. Effects Are Decent. Beat Was Really Cluttered At The Beginning, BUT As The Song Progressed, It Fit You Good. 2nd Verse WIth The Pitch Shift Isn't Really Good IMO, The Lyrics Are Good, But The Pitches Are Off. Check The Semitones/Key You Have Them In. "Pay The Piper, Charge You Twice". . .I've Heard Other Good Lines Here In This Song, But I Was So Focused On Typing That I Didn't Quote Em Lol. Really Good For Wat U Did. I'm Impressed.

Philippians 4:13
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Psalms 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Re: Nexus
I like it. The beat is riding that sweet *dun dun dun' that get my foot stepping. I can see this being in a movie at a scene like, people are going in to rob a shop or some shit. I like.
On another note.. It's a fucking grimy beat. Real nice.

Re: Nexus
This is very different man, but I gotta say it isn't bad for the fact u did everything on here, which is really coo...I love the chorus and beat, the verse are ok, I just feel that they were a lil over the top and I didn't feel as tho they were as directional as I would like them, meaning they were a lil all over the place, but the production I thought was nice and gave a quality song here...really good job, just polish of the verse a lil maybe more succint flow, with some switchups and drops, cuz the beat lends well to that...nice track pz.
