Rap Battle #2

Never mind what I said, one influence in particular is RZA. I listed all the rappers that quite influenced my moods, I suppose.
It can all be very infantile, which is problematic now.
So the thing has begun? argh. I have little idea what lyrically to make of these subjects, the raps of the previous load seemed rather free, Ill imitate that.

If those topics don’t work for you, just do whatever. I mostly want to avoid trading rhyming insults.

let me use this beat for the first round. This is not mine, I wish to make such beats, these trap hihats are hard to make though, I wonder if they’re automated. Ive tried it in GarageBand, its not as easy to get it flowing as it seemed to me.

I can work with that. Good contrast to the Phantogram beat I’ll use for Round 2.

Did we settle on Meeuw for round 3?

Looks I’ll end up using GarageBand too. I tried the online alternatives, but none seem to do sound recording, and the easiest local option was just to borrow a Mac.

Hah yeah garageband to the rescue.
Yes, Im happy with Meeuw for round 3.
All sounds good!

Boom!

Awesome, thanks Mags. I’ll be sure to give you shout-out!

can’t access the thread MagsJ - maybe you can transpose this post.

Sorry, lapse on my part, you should be able to post directly in that thread now.

Awesome track, lots to work with. Let me see what I can scrounge up for a reply; stay tuned.

thanks man!

yeah Im in.

When you have it send me the link to the second beat! Im curious what kind of mood it will be.

Here’s the beat for round 2, but I won’t get to working until next week. Hope to have round 1 response this weekend (12/16), and round 2 opener next weekend 12/23).

I like that beat a lot.

OK my laptop refuses to turn on again I’ve had this before when it had gotten cold but this is taking longer. A few hours now. I hope it hasn’t died. If it has I will have to request a nreak after the first round.

I’ll report developments in the machines vital signs.

Yeah, beat 2 for round 2 is v cool… love a good back beat.

Damn it, my laptop doesn’t seem to have the intention of coming alive.

Sorry to hear that, I put so much of my life on my computer, it’s like losing a pet when it dies. I feel for you.

I’m up first round 2, so you’ve got some time. And after that, I’m patient, don’t worry about it.

Yes, that would get rather nasty. I think the venom of normal rappers is innocent compared to what goes on in ILP.

I’ll be home somewhen after the holidays at which point I can bring my computer to the shop to see if it can be repaired. If not I’ll also try to borrow one.

Sorry, I intended to have the next round up tonight, but with travel and general year-end craziness I’m a little behind.

Shooting for tomorrow, a Christmas Miracle if you will.

Dude, sorry to do this, but I’m not going to get it uploaded today either. I’m on the road in a crowded house, and not having a lot of luck finding a quiet corner to record in.

I’ll try for tomorrow, I generally check out of Christmas so it might be doable, but I’m not making any more promises.

Dock me all the points.
