Rappers?

anishboi

Anyone do a bitta homemade rap/hip hop?

I experiment with it, I haven't got the best mic or software but I'm only starting out and I thought I'd show ye some stuff anyway.

I haven't made my own songs yet but I have covered other songs. I have done two Linkin Park covers, here's my rap cover of Linkin Park's best song "In The End". Check out my other tune "Faint" as well.

As I said, bear with the quality :):)

If you do any hip hop stuff at home yourself, please reply to this thread, I wanna hear it! Cheers.

Don't be a dikk, read his post and you'll see he said he's COVERED linkin park, he also said, HE HASN'T MADE HIS OWN MUSIC.

easy on tiger,ya but usually a cover tends to have a slight difference to the original but this is the exact same,sounds like hes just readin the lyrics of a sheet and he also has an extremley montone voice,so just giving the guy my honest opinion.

That's fine, but you don't need to be an obnoxious dick while you're giving it.

It is great that this, yes this whatever it is, gets more watches/listens/replies than actual Irish Hip-hop on this board.

Enough of the bickering, back on topic.

This issue crops up periodically, not just on this forum. The problem with putting something up for review on a public forum and inviting opinions on it as the thread starter has done is that there is no way to guarantee you'll only get positive responses. Having said that, Yo! MTV SUCKS could probably have been a bit politer with his response. It's nice to be nice and all that.

Anyway, welcome to the forum anishboi!

Hugh Cream

Saying something is shyt is one thing, in that sense I totally agree, if he thought that was the case he should have just said so.
but the lad spelled out exactly what it is he had done, he hasn't claimed he's produced a great new version of an old song, he's not claiming he's a serious rapper.

There's just a nice way of giving an opinion without being unpleasant about it.

I put the song up for review, as long as people don't act like dicks, I welcome all opinions, whether they be good, bad or mediocre. That's why want a third party opinion, to know where to improve, or to be complemented.

If anyone else happens to read this post and hear the song, please take note of that!

And cheers there Hugh Cream

Anyway, can I've more opinions please? Cheers!

Cheers for the comment man
Ya few people have told me that, I think it's partly because I have a ****e mic, so it doesn't really pick up great detail, just picks up a monotone sound. Hopefully I can improve on it later on though, thanks for pointing it out

anishboi

Hey lads if ye have YouTube accounts handy then would ye mind going over to the video page and leaving your opinion/like/dislike over there? I'd appreciate that.

And even if you don't, please keep the opinions coming here in the forum, cheers

Don't know what to say really except maybe try writing your own lyrics and make original songs? Rap karaoke isn't much more than a party piece. I wouldn't go trying to spread a video around and gather a following doing it.

The audience for people rapping into an onboard/PC microphone is pretty limited. Just make tunes for yourself for a while (and look at what other people in this country are doing) then get someone to record you when you've gotten good. That takes a long time but a little patience and there's nothing stopping you.

personally id say avoid looking at whats coming out of this country and steer your own ship.
dont conform to try and fit in either, the less "bleedin rapids's" we hear in songs the better imo.

Thanks for your advice dude. I personally find covers a good way to start out your venture in music, as people can judge whether or not you have the technique required to make your own music.

Also, I will have some of my own songs written soon, but the reason I broadcast my PC mic versions is so that I can get opinions on how good my lyrics and style are before I go and pursue professional recording on something that people aren't going to listen to.

I dunno, that's my view? I appreciate your advice :D:D

I do not think I have ever heard bleedin rapid in a song - links?

Anyway, covers and rap do not go well unless you were covering tonedeff or Drake or someone with some singing elements so you would be displaying some singing ability but just rapping their words is a bit bland tbh.

It may be bland but my main motive for uploading is I was looking for people who love hip hop enough to be able to analyse it, then they could judge my technique, flow, rhythm etc etc..

anishboi

Does anyone have any of their own tunes, or even know of any friend who makes their own tunes, that they could post up here?

anishboi

Check this out as well lads

I was generilizing, surely that's obvious?

Pay no attention mate, their hip hop snobs, big load of ****** if you ask me, it's begiining to get boring.

Do what you like, if you like covering tunes keep doIng it.

This doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't it be easier for people to judge your merits if they didn't first compare you (intentionally or not) to whatever vocalist you're covering?

Hugh Cream

No you can make a judgment, whether it's a cover is irrelivant.
It could be argued a persons ability may be over shadowed by the ****ty self penned song their performing.

That's a genuine argument IMO, personally speaking I feel I'd still be able to make a judgment.
But the point is valid.
