Facts

Although writing with you guys over the last decade has really improved my content and material in the music as far as creativity and knowing from a vets point of view what's allowed and what isn't. But yeah i lost alot of my motivation to make music, even took alot of time off from writing in general just because i didn't enjoy it anymore. I think it all comes with age.

Kin · 04-03-2018, 06:29 AM

always gonna be things that get in the way of making music...Lack of time, motivation, mood, or just life in general. It's on you to push through things holding you back and continue tho'

I've never understood how Text is something that someone would like to hold on to...I always looked it as a starting point to help writing, until the transition to recording is made. Once someone learns how to actually write and record to beats...it's crazy that Text would be preferred....that's like taking the easy road to have hip hop involved in your life.

My advice would be to pick one or the other...I mean it's cool if you wanna write a text piece once in awhile still....but you're at a level where all of your material should be recorded....otherwise your just holding your own progression back.

Stop playin' Geno.... get motivated and use music as your therapy....Text can never really be taken seriously

Geno · 04-03-2018, 08:28 AM

Ya ur right kin. I guess its more like. My roommate ans i have the opposite shedule. So when im up hes asleep. Makes it hard to recordbya know. Which sucks

Enbombz · 04-03-2018, 08:42 AM

It is alot more effort to record though. Depends what your after. I record now and then but text is just easier to do when you work alot.

if you want to confess your love for black

lose the preamble

and say it with your chest.

boof · 04-03-2018, 01:47 PM

not sure brotha, dont relate

if u love it u'll make time for it

WRATH · 04-03-2018, 02:34 PM

It's just hard to write and record on your own. When you take however long to write, then transfer that into an enjoyable song its draining. If you don't have
an engineer you won't be a rapper anyways.

boof · 04-03-2018, 02:45 PM

^none of that true bruh wtf

El Muffin · 04-03-2018, 03:15 PM

Lol

Enlighten us more WRATH

u nihilist :)

WRATH · 04-03-2018, 04:41 PM

All the goats have engineers. They spit from the heart and the comp guy fixes it up.

No shit you can mix your own stuff. But that level of picking at your own work will ruin it. Kanye is respected cause he do that on his own, and hova got kanye. Drake got 40. Wayne got somebody I'm sure. Now I love curren$y, but you mix on your own chances are it's going to come out like that, so w huh ile is it may be good it can't reach that universal level of greatness.

This is the most I've ever picked at a song. I really like the beat so I don't mind messing with it but I swear cleaning up microscopic impurities is taxing. I'm getting better at it but having just hit 30 I feel that serious time crunch. Wish I had this technology 10 or 15 yrs ago

Amen · 04-03-2018, 05:00 PM

Need to learn how to ride a beat lol.

WRATH · 04-03-2018, 05:21 PM

I think I should just pre plan on punching it in

Amen · 04-03-2018, 05:26 PM

You punch in for a slow beat like that?

I could see if the beat was more up tempo/fast but this shit was slow as fuck.

W/e tho, lol...

WRATH · 04-03-2018, 06:05 PM

Nah I'm saying after doing this one I was thinking I should plan on punching in all the time. I feel like that's what luda would do. This one was recorded then chopped to shit. Might be better if I plan where cuts will go beforehand

El Muffin · 04-03-2018, 06:06 PM

When the expert speaks you stfu and listen nigga

You know boof might be right I fixed this to this point way faster then I did the last one.

Regardless it takes a lot more then just rapping to make it legit.
