I usually lease my instrumentals. I don't use industry beats. I hate cover bands, too. I feel where you're coming from.

Find a local musician and collaborate on truly original work. Put notices up in the music stores around you.

You still play, right? Do a long distance collaboration with him.

I have no interest in that genre.

Up in the thread, we got pale rider
the mother fuckin race divider
If you're white, he's whiter
If you're right, he's righter
he'll stick you then flick you like his bic lighter
And daveman will cry cause you're a beat biter
If you knew what roomy knew you're just a weak fighter
And cali's got a nice shitter but her *****'s tighter

Don't quit your day job.

I thought my questions were fair. I was just trying to get an honest answer and understand. So you can take your shitty little ***** attitude and go **** yourself punk.

Asking me if I want to be black, simply because I rap, is an insult. Sorry that you can't understand how that might be, but it's an insult dude.

Really? You rap like black people so you must like black culture, but asking you if you'd like to be black is an insult... how is that exactly?

Black people like fried chicken.

You like chicken.

Why do you want to be black?

 

[RadiomanATL]

I'm not buying it. Blacks invented rap, so if you rap, and you're not black, you're copying them.

Black culture also gave us the blues, elvis, modern rock and roll and pop.

Why does Rick Astley want to be black?

GT, you have the pure instrumental from this thread.

I assume you also have the real version, or can find it. Make the hybrid version that you're looking for by meshing to two. Easy-peasy.

Have you considered writing your own music?

Music as in instruments?

Because all of the Vocals that I perform myself, I write.

Yes, music as in instruments. Beats stealing someone else's work.

I didn't know Rap involved any instrumental skill.
Just bad poetry set to someone else's music.

 

[Blagger]

Are handguns considered 'instruments' in Rap music?

Depends on the percussiveness of the caliber.

Some of it I like -- mostly the stuff that doesn't take itself too seriously, like Will Smith's work. Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise has a haunting chorus.

But most of it seems to be about being profane for profanity's sake. Misogyny with a beat. Glorifying thug culture. Pass.

Seems to go in cycles.

There are some good ones out there. I like the ones that have multiple layers going on. A rap, on top of a muted chorus, on top of a beat. Usually with some minor keys/chords happening somewhere. Tempo changes are good as well. And then added non-traditional instrumentation to the whole thing is great.

Eminem was/is good at all of that. IMO it greatly explains his popularity.

A simple beat going *thud*thud*thud*thud*thud* with a simple rap....no thanks.

That ****** BUILDS, ya know. Piano's, violins, etc. To a punch.

I would of had a bigger build, each chorus getting progressively bigger, with more bass heavy instrumentation to a bigger, bass heavy punch with some low crowd audio on the last chorus. But, not my song.

Yeah, not bad. Nice instrumentation.

Eminem, like his music, hate his music, like him, hate him, whatever. One thing about him is that he has no hesitation to putting what is going on in his life out there on albums. The good things he's done and the bad things. He doesn't hide it.

The catch-phrase is "keeping it real". I don't think I've ever seen another artist who does it to the degree that this dude does.

Like I said, like his music or not, but no one can ever accuse the man of not being brutally honest, even when it comes to himself.

It's only stealing it if you use it to profit without consent from the owner of the rights to the music.

There's nothing wrong with using an instrumental to just play around with in your house.

Odd, since I see videos being yanked all the time from YouTube because the poster didn't own the work.

Wonder why that happens, if it's not stealing?

You don't know the difference between using someone's music at your house just to play around with, and broadcasting someone's work over the internet?

GT posts his music at soundclick.com. Their policy on copyrighted material is the same as youtube. You can make your own cover tracks all you want, just don't post it on the internet.

I haven't yet seen GT say he wanted that instrumental to make a cover track that he was going to post online.

He also started making instrumentals too as he learned more from Dr. Dre.

He's actually made some pretty damn good ones. You can definitely hear Dre's influence in Eminem's beats too.

 

[G.T.]

Eminem is the GOAT of this whole Rap shit. That sort of hurts Pale's little shpeal and all but hey!~

Paulie, the New Llyod Banks drops Monday. Hunger for More II.

#1 was a classic bone cruise album.
