Alright Ya'll, Let's do this.

We've started a lot of "let's collaborate" threads in the past to a varying amount of success. Well now I'd like to do a focussed, simple, fun one with the help of our resident musicians.

The problem with em in the past is they were often attempts at building entire songs from scratch (like, "I'll play the drums!" and "I'll get guitar!") but this one is much more simple - ladies and gentlemen lend me your voices. Specifically, your poetic voices.

It's a hip-hop song, and let me stress that whether or not your can rap (I just started and i'm a sodding joke at this point) you can do a verse in the song. Read your poetry in rythmic form, give us some nice half-singing or full out spit. I've got the full song plus chorus worked up so all we need are the verses.

Here is the chorus to the song, repeated after every verse.

Listen

Here is the 4/4 verse you'll be emceeing over.

Listen

Again I stress even if you can't rap at all you can do a verse. For goodness sake if Miley Cyrus can do it about her Twitter you can do it!

Ahh, I'd love to do this.
Let me think something up. ^_^

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 12-23-2009, 07:26 PM

Excellent! Just download the verse track and bring it into your recording program to get started.

Arya Stark · 12-23-2009, 07:28 PM

No theme or anything? xD
I feel like a little more thought should be put into it before I start... rapping. o.O

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 12-23-2009, 07:32 PM

Alright. I thought of the chorus and my verse while discussion today's Tape Music ethic with somebody. How a lot of young, aspiring musicians (including myself) jumped into the world of recording and internet publicity (myspace, purevolume) before they are even technically talented.

But a regular "Yo, i'm Awwwwww Shuga" type intro verse would word too

Arya Stark · 12-23-2009, 07:33 PM

...I don't think I can take it seriously if I do that.
I'll try.

...try.

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 12-23-2009, 07:34 PM

Rap about whatever you want to really. Totally free verse and if you mess up or something I'll just mix it up on the turntable.

Arya Stark · 12-23-2009, 07:35 PM

Hahaha. Okay.
Well I'm going to try to do something with it when my voice comes back.
I'm PM it to you or something.

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 12-23-2009, 07:36 PM

Great!!

EDIT: Want to point out... we have an unlimited amount of verses we can do so whoever wants to jump in can do so at any time.
