Dirty, I listened to all the songs in your thread so far, and agree with Conan that although three of your songs ("Dirty Curt," "All Scientific", "Untitled,") seem to be basic bragging about your rap style and skills, your lyrics do sound very philosophical, and you have a nice flow:

Since you wrote that you are just writing and making music that you like and not to be competitive in the market, plus that you want to be original, my recommendation would be to avoid songs that go on about how original your rapping is...because don't a lot of rappers do that? The impression I get is that a big part of rapping is this competitive "I'm the better rapper" idea. I haven't listened to much rap, though, so that may not be valid. I was most interested in your first song, because the topic of a breakup and the emotions it causes is a tough one to describe without it getting all mushy and melodramatic sounding. I was also a little surprised by the song because I don't usually think of rappers talking about relationship issues without using the word "whore," so that was refreshing. I especially liked the following lines (in bold) in your lyrics for "Hollow," because you use a lot of metaphors to make your point, and the song is both introspective, analytical, and emotional. I've also wondered occasionally if the lemon is worth the squeeze, because sometimes after a relationship and all the trying to make it into a good one (the "squeeze") you just end up with a sour taste and a bad relationship (the "lemon"). There's no lemonade, no sugar. So, I especially liked that metaphor. Quote:

New songs still not produced so here is another old one. We found a girl singing into her webcam on youtube and sampled it and made a beat around it. This is one of my favorite beats ever. My rhyming is ok, but it was one of my first songs. probably gonna take the beat and do another song around it at some point. Enjoy Stay Strong |

Mixtape is finally done!
Built To Be Filthy.rar 14 songs, majority are original beats, a few instrumentals. This is really diverse and has a lot of variety to it, I didn't want to make the stoner rap I started out doing so I took things to another level with this. All info is in the .txt document after download. Please download and drop any comments you have. Enjoy Peace! |

^ Dirty, I tried to download your songs but had troubles with mediafire. I clicked on "download" once and it opened up an ad. I clicked on it a second time and it opened up a *different* ad. I clicked on it a third time, and nothing happened. I temporarily allowed popups from the site, but still it didn't work.
When the "download" button did finally lead to another screen, the screen said that, "The website declined to show this webpage; HTTP 403 access forbidden." To see if there is a site problem, I tested out a mediafire link that someone sent me in a private message to check if it still works, and it did. So, it seems to me that there is something about your link or upload settings that makes my computer unable to proceed to the download. I don't know why, but if I'm having this problem perhaps other people are, too. Could you perhaps use MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service I've had great success with them! And I'd like to hear all your 14 songs.

ANOTHER DL LINK TO MY MIXTAPE
I think what happened was i reached the DL limit for my free account on there cause when I woke up this morning there was like 40 downloads and it wouldnt let me download it anymore. grrrr. So there's a megaupload link, hopefully it works. I want to put it on datPiff.com but it recognizes two of the Nas instrumentals as the real song and it's copywritten so it wont include them and they are two of my favorite songs and I don't wanna leave them out of anything. |

Not sure why mediafire works sometimes and doesn't other times Let me know which songs you are feelin... My personal favorites on this mixtape are 'If I Could Feel,' 'Dirty,' and 'All Scientific.' And 'Hollow' even though I made that awhile ago. Least favorite is probably 'You Wanna Battle.' Kinda went half assed on the end of that one, i was just so tired from writing and recording and don't have the luxury of hitting the studio on any type of regular basis.

Since I know a lot of people won't download the entire thing, here's one of my personal favorites from my mixtape. It's a Nas instrumental of Surviving the Times. Basically it's just about people feeling pain in different ways, and how i wish i could take that pain from them. 2nd verse to this song is probably my favorite verse of mine I've written. Lyrics after the vid.
If i could feel for a second the pain of all the mothers of the earth whose sons are layin slain in foregin countries, battlefields, explosions, kids chosen for the front lines stayin low n outta the mix, hopin praying, face to the ground bullets flyin, sprayin, tryna to maintain, i wanna feel th pain of all the kids, names unknown, from families of broken homes, with angry daddies who be brusin their bones, pain is real - somebody gotta feel and eventually i think about it starts to get to me how im the priviliged, kids are livin life without the guidance, surviving in the times with all the violence got no positives, try to be a man and do the opposite all because their father wasn't their now they grow up do the same ****, beatin their wives, tellin ties, get in fights its unfair that they gotta go alone unprepared they wanna raise up above dont know how and their scared you know i wanna feel the pain so yall dont have to, i stand before you gimme every ounce of your pain, ill feel it for you Chorus All the pain that you're carrying give it to me, i say lets bury it you know that i would cause all the hurt you've been carryin its doin no good you know id feel every ounce of your pain... if i could All the pain that you're carrying give it to me, i say lets bury it you know that i would cause all the hurt you've been carryin its doin no good you know id feel every ounce of your pain... if i could in some places, smiliin is erased and gets replaced with a grimace aint nobody knows the struggle, they dont live it they just watch it on their televisions, when its happenin down the street whos gonna stop it, shocking aint it when its in your neighbors house, boulevards, development, times are tough and hard it isnt elegant its evident to me... we're killin each other, bunch of pregnant mothers smokin cigarrettes who light up another, their not protectin what they got in the womb, i think its twisted, mystic like the stars and the moon and yet it happens in suburbia to projects, ghettos, rural areas its nonsense, i wanna make the pain past tense cause the world is such an ugly place, it's like a beautiful person who hates the world deep inside despite a pretty face news distortion, reportin just a portion of the facts, people supported by eating scraps from the trash is this the world you wanna live in, grow to raise kids in, if every day is just a gift that gods given us then whys there all the pain, its never gonna end wish i could take it all away, yeah Chrous Last edited by Dirty; 11-21-2010 at 03:08 AM. |
