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.

[Here’s the beat for round 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmtDodRuTo), 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).

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.

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.
