I met this guy's music partner (Todd the Terrible) that raps as well when he worked for my parents but I can't find any of his music. :( They are local rappers in Anchorage. Todd's music is in some extreme snowmobiling video but I can't think of it right now. I thought this song sounded pretty good.

Actually I haven't, but I was thinking about it, mostly for El-P's production (I'm not saying Mr. Lif isn't good, I haven't listened to him very much, he's been good on the guest spots I've heard him on). People seem to like it. But what I'm really looking forward to is hiw own new, and Cannibal Ox's new.

Have you heard Everything Must Go? It's the only song off of I'll Sleep When You're Dead that he's released.

I agree that Ridin' is a bit more hip pop than hip hop (i still like that song though), but not all the music on his newest album is. I think The Sound Of Revenge is an exellent album (it only just came out in the UK). They don't call Chamillionaire 'The Mixtape Messiah' for nothing.

Why do they call him "The Mixtape Messiah"? Just because he was to lazy to come out with his own original material? There is nothing wrong with making a mixtape or two, but why make a lot of mixtapes and not spend time creating your own music? Probably why he didn't blow the ****** up until he released Ridin'. Let me ask you, would you of even bought his record if you haven't of heard Ridin'?

King by T.I. is also excellent and, together, those 2 albums only have 3 or 4 skipable songs between them.
Also Ludacris has a new album coming out August, called 'Release Therapy' which will be great even if it is only half as good as his 4 others.

I'm working on this rap song just for fun with a few friends and the hook is seeming to be a problem. I decided to try and sample some stuff for it and I made two different versions.

I was wondering if you guys could maybe listen to these 2 30 second hooks and tell me if you think either are ok, or what I could to do to improve them. This isn't gonna be a song were selling or anything it's just for fun so not a big deal, I'd just like to get it ok.

And I've never done anything like this before so please don't be too hard on me. Thanks,

Hook 2 (http://media.putfile.com/Hook-2)

[mkrishnan]

I listened to them, K. :) I think they're fierce! :D I like the first one slightly better... the drums have more presence to me. But I only listened to each once. There's also a sound in the back that sounds a little bit like a distorted disc scratch... it seems a little too distorted to me, although I should really listen to this with monitor headphones. But anyway, I think I really like them! :)

Well said. Some people just dismiss rap as music because they don't hear the good stuff.

Yea, it's because the radio plays the lil's (lil' jon, lil' flip, lil' wayne), when they should be playing the bigs (Big Pun, Big Syke, Big L, Big Lurch, Biggie, Big Daddy Kane).

I have come with a plea for help.

My iPod was on shuffle and I heard this song yada yada yada.....what's it called? I thought it might be Big Pun, but I skimmed through all his stuff and couldn't find it.

I remember the second verse was about 1:20 into the song and it was some nice rhymes about money. Some words I remember: finance, financial, money, expand your horizons, diversify, manage

I know this is a long shot but I thought I'd give it a go :o

[2nyRiggz]

^Its on your ipod but you can't find it......damn thats a lot of songs:) ......give me some more beef please.






Bless

[killuminati]

Hmmm I can't remember much more. Whoever rapped the second verse had a deepish voice. The second verse was rapping about money, business and other financial things. I think he mentioned diversifying his bonds.

He rapped sort of like Big Syke except with more flow and continuity. This is really hard to describe.

If I think of anything else I'll add it to this post.

Your shuffle syncs to your Mac. So if you plug it in, it will update all your playcounts, etc. So all you have to do is go to your 'Recently Played' smart pl and check the songs that were played most recently. That is the only reason I still have this pl on my iTunes cos this sometimes happends to me... If you deleted the 'Recently Played' you can just make a new smart pl. Hope that helps :)

Well first of all I don't have a shuffle so does it work with normal ipods? I've never noticed the playcounts or anything else update after plugging in my ipod. And also I must have listened to at least another 5-6 hours of music after so I doubt it would still be there.

AH! I dunno why I thought it was shuffle. I guess I just figured it was since you didnt see the song (no screen=shuffle).
