Rap of the Week?

[andreas]

Yeah I don't know what it is. Fanboyism or something? haha but seriously, I'd probably blame it on the beat. nothings wrong with it or their verses, I'm assuming, but the beat matches up with you better.

True eh. well thanks man appreciate it, I went up in wrote it in like 20 minutes. Im really happy with how this turned out as well. The second guy on the track is an Old friend I hadn't seen in a decade, we met up and got straight to work on the track at his friends(the guy who hit the last verse and produced the track) Both of them are really talented. You should check out their soundcloud as well. Rival Minds.

[EmmitBrown]

sup saun, i just listened. i hear what san andreas is saying. it cause your flow rides the beat better than second dude. last bull is nice too. you flow and deliver it musically.

[saunders420]

lemme know what ya think of the sounds levels and whatnot. Levels I need to know if they are bearable. Also Im finding my voice could have been turned up a bit more. what do ya think?

[andreas]

your intro voice is so much louder than the actual rap. turn your voice up more. massive beat though.

[saunders420]

The beginning is kinda low at first after where I yell "DC" "905"....the lil hook before I go in, I meant for it to be slightly lower. Turn Up your volume lmao. But for real though I do realize after listening to it a bit, that the Master could be turned up...same with my main vocals.

thanks San Andreas. EB coined it. sorry

[EmmitBrown]

lets get a collabo goin sanders....pooh house

[saunders420]

check your Pm's EB. lol You better start putting Colonel in front of that Sanders, that or the "U" lol

[BeatChemist]

yo I ain't dead... just been working a lot. 10 straight opens in a row... ugh.

I'm kinda holding out on those beats... BUT. Skateboarding sounds beat coming this weekend! I promise!!

[saunders420]

Saunders, Freestyle shit was pretty sick.. On the Radio, Sweet.

Whenever you guys get a chance, I'm taking a break for a few days.. Been doing raps everyday, would love to know which one you like best. They range from 30seconds to a minute.

Appreciate it. Stay up guys.

[jerr bear]

What an improvement.

[pawnluvguitarist]

Quite the improvement Antwan

[Antwan]

Thanks guys, hope you aren't going soft on me haha

I do a new rap everyday I can come up with something as of lately..
really just experimenting, trying to figure it out.
I'm struggling to put it all together however..
I've done a bit of research but I'm still grasping the art form slowly
What is the opinion on starting out?
Should I be more focused on a style, writing bars etc.?
Maybe both of those things?
Let me know what you think.. Also, Coming up short on breath.. does writing bars help with this?
Thanks

[momadaddy]

FREESTYLES

i fucking LOVE saunders

[Antwan]

Well from what I've gathered I think I have a good understanding of what bars are now
so I guess I'll share.
Feel free to hop in if I'm wrong.
A Bar is Either One or Two Lines Depending how fast you Rap.
A Bar is Measured on Beat.
Four counts is your Bar and when the beat breaks you say your next Line (Bar).
Use of Emphasis on words and pauses are vital to regain breath.

You have the jist of it.

1 Bar = 4 Beats
16 Bars = 1 Verse (Some areas still count 8 Bars as 1 Verse, but meh.)

The numbers of lines "should" be 1 per Bar imo, but it's common now to go to 2-2.5 for some.
Although, back in the mid-eighties you had Kool Moe Dee and Eric B. & Rakim breaking the mold as well with lines.
When you have more than 1 line per 4 beats it's called "Internal Rhyming" since you have the call and answer in the same line.

Right.. 2 or 3 16 Bar Verses
and something like a 4 bar chorus is the standard rap song I believe

[Antwan]

You guys wanna get this thing going again? Im getting better at writing..
Someone throw up an instrumental. So down to vibe with you guys again.
