Wish someone else would tell me I sound like Lil wayne haha
that's crazy dude..
It was unpleasant? -Because it sounded like Lil wayne?
High pitch actually feels more natural to me
My Voice was never really that deep.. Feels more forced when I'm trying to control my tone.
That's your preference, that's cool.
Anyone else? Didn't like the lyrics?
Lil wayneeee haha what.. that made my day.
i wasnt feeling that one as much as some of the other shit you had been posting a page or two back, but only really because your delivery was juuuuust slightly off beat, which was really jarring since it seems like you're trying to really push the tempo of the instrumental, which obviously can't change. do you by any chance own a metronome? i feel like that might help you a lot.
Honestly, Never thought about it.. Don't own one but I believe there are some online.Originally Posted by i am a snail
I've never used one before so what is it, 4 BPM?
I get that most rap beats are in 4/4 but is beats per minute the same thing?
Pretty interesting Idea, Never thought about it.
I was messing with how I said the lines this time.. I thought it sounded ok but I can see where I was off now.
Like I said, That's your preference.. I don't mind lil wayne.
I don't bump it religiously or anything but I respect it and have listened to him.
I just don't bring myself to dislike anyone's music.. if they can do what they like at a record level, respect man.
I have Genres I don't listen to because they don't interest me but within hip hop&rap- Mainstream.. Underground.. Whatever.
I enjoy a good bit of it, and if I don't it's still respectable.
It made me crack up because I feel I'm a long way from that kind of flow.<People are going to debate this, Clearly.
I think He has a good flow, If you think it's hip hop or not doesn't matter, he's pretty good at staying on beat.
And even then.. A lil wayne vibe justifies what I was aimed at, hype.. I was feeling hyped up when I made this.
I don't think I sounded like him but if It was that vibe I think I made the point.
4/4 is a time signature. The most commonly used one, and probably the only one you'll be using in rap. Odd time signatures are more common in prog rock, jazz, metal ect
If you listen to Pink Floyd's "Money" you can hear its a weird time signature, its 7/4 for most of it, switching to 4/4 for the guitar solo.

BPM = beats per minute. IE how fast the song is.

So time signatures pertain to the timing of the song and BPM to the tempo.

Yeah, I think I get the just of this..
It's all really confusing at once, not knowing sheet music or anything in relation.
Having trouble seeing where my speech ties into all of it, is my only issue.
Couldn't I just, Add more words.. or less, depending on the Tempo While keeping the flow
and still be on beat? I would think I would be able to compensate for being behind or in front of pace with word count?
I'm working more on keeping a constant flow but some beats It just doesn't seem to click the way I go about it..
I hate to say it but.. maybe my choice of beat is affecting my flow in some way? Maybe the Tempo?
I'm still trying to grasp the whole deal but Does any of this sound right?
Honestly, if i was in your position i wouldn't over think it. Practice rapping over a metronome for a bit. It should be easier for you to stay in time, there's less going on in comparison to a full song that has more stuff to distract you or throw you off your timing.
You might be better off using slower simple beats for a while. Should make it easier for you to keep in time and see where you are falling out.

As a jazz saxophonist and a rapper I'd have to say I know time signatures pretty well. I've actually never heard Hip-Hop in anything other than 4/4.
Blue Rondo Al a Turk is a bitch though.
Sounding like Lil Wayne is NOT a good thing hahaha
