Rap of the Week?

[replicant]

Thought I'd bring out a rapper to you guys that you might not know, but I think shares a style that both of you can identify with. I've listened to MC Celtic for about 4ish years now after someone sent me to his myspace in WoW. The dude is out of Florida and has a nice style, flow for days, and great beats. He usually releases his albums on his myspace/website for 2-4 weeks completely free and then puts them on itunes and such to sell.

His Website (Being Rebuilt from his old site):

I have his Riot in Dublin album which I don't think he sells anymore I can hook you up with if you like his style. Independence Day is my favorite album, but his other two are still solid as well.

My favorite song he does is Old School Master off of Independence Day. Couldn't find a youtube of it so here is a SoundClick link with it. He has 4 songs posted there you can listen to.

Thanks Rep! Back when I fronted a band I was allowed a minute between every song for the random nonsense I'd just come up with. I swear that's how we booked shows. "You're the punk band with the funny guy who raps, right?!" It's an odd complement when you hear more about your humor than music, but fuck, at least people are listening!!!

Speaking of, I'm listening to MC Celtic right now, and I dig. I have to admit, that's almost exactly what I wish my voice sounded like. I have this whole nasily nerd thing going on... Which... Seeing as I'm a total geek works.... But, sometimes I wanna be one of the cool MC's.

And Antwan, you nailed a couple things. Less words means more flow, and you're coming along QUICK. Getting good at this shit is a tough process, 'cause you have to be willing to focus a LOT more on your shortcomings than what you do well so you can improve. Chef Gordon Ramsey was a good teacher for me in this regard. The only feedback he wants is negative, 'cause that's what he needs to work on. I still think praise where it's due, though. One of these days, we should collab a track about fakeskating or something.

Also, if you ever need instrumentals, I have a pretty deep collection. Loves me the bittorrent marketplace.

Eh I don't know how I feel about this one
was working on sending a message as well as a "slow flow" inspired by biggie
Several takes and this sounded best.. let me know what you dudes think.

I got a Cypress Hill feel from you rapping that time, but it didn't fit the beat to me.
I think for that style of slow cadence you need a lot of break beats and stutter beats.

Thanks for the honesty..
still going to post one next week just something I was messing with.

Somehow this missed my radar. It didn't go that bad to me. Some of it felt rushed, but I'd wager some of that was basically nerves.
