i wouldn't say flow so much as content for joey cuz joe flow be lackin lol.

 

[soap]

I couldn't talk for 8 straight minutes. Much less make it rhyme

 

[KrazyGlue]

I'll try to write something. I'll need a topic or some kind of reference of what the song's gonna be about.

Agreed, we really need a topic or theme so we know what kind of verse to write.

 

[~N9NE~]

Forget a concept, just spazz out.

 

[KrazyGlue]

I would normally be fine with that, but since this is going to have multiple people, we probably shouldn't have everyone having completely different styles.

Imagine a song with Talib Kweli, Snoop Dogg, Del tha Funky Homosapien, and Tech N9ne. They're all great (almost as good as us ), but it would sound pretty ****ed up.

We should at least decide if it's going to be intellectual, gangster, party, or whatever. I'm not saying we need anything specific, but we should probably at least know what in general the song is going to be like. Personally, I think a simple party and/or boastful rap is the best because they're the easiest to write.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

i vote for intellectual...

 

[IAmBlu3]

nah....i want it to have replay value...i go for spazzing/party

 

[o-Serin-o]

So I love That Tree.

Kid Cudi did so well on his verse.

 

[Jane]

Man everyone just do what they do. Itll sound the most organic that way.

And yeah i love that tree. Snoop amd cudi have good chemistry

 

[IAmBlu3]

Man everyone just do what they do. Itll sound the most organic that way.

nah. then everybody will end up soundin like Common on kanye's Get Em High. sounded way off topic in comparison to kanye and talib. we need a theme!

 

[~N9NE~]

It's the first attempt at something like this.

Everyone try write some fuego bars, let's see what everyone's like and then we can build on concept tracks.

People want to drop a Rewind or Used To Love H.E.R from the jump. Let's walk before we can run.

I might ghostwrite.

Cookie stay on his intellectual tip.

 

[Jane]

Exactly. Everything the nine said.

 

[Boofy!]

So I love That Tree.

Kid Cudi did so well on his verse.

annnd i rep the double 0 smokin eatin cheeriosss

 

[IAmBlu3]

I might ghostwrite.

Pretty good read, a few thoughts:

Whoever is writing for Complex needs to go back and actually listen to Memphis Bleek. Not a bad rapper at all.

Never realized Nas was dissing Cam on Street's Disciple, that's crazy. The timing and everything makes sense, that song is just so intense I never stopped to think he could be dissing somebody there.

Classic ignorant Nas with the Diddy diss. Of all the things to diss Diddy about, he chooses his campaign to get people to vote. Jay really was right, don't let the Kufi fool you, he's a ****ing idiot.

That blatant Jay-Z diss on "Success" always left me scratching my head. I guess he felt the need to salvage whatever pride he possibly could scrape together after agreeing to let Jay become his new boss - which I guess is the bigger, related thing that still has me scratching my head to this day lol.

Man, even post-black album Jay-Z has great lines here and there if you dig for them. Always loved that line in the Game diss "I'd write it if ya'll could get it, being intricate'll get you wood, critic"

 

[IAmBlu3]

@ Niko: though i admit that nas signing to def jam was sad, the fact that he almost signed to murder inc, instead gives me a sigh of relief. that'd been another L for Nas. probably worse than def jam.

i don't know about bleek. once i seen him in the Garnier Fructis commercial rapping about shampoo, i really had no desire to check his stuff out.

you seem pretty knowledgeable on jigga's discography. gimme some song suggestions. i've had his discog for like a year and haven't bothered to look through it yet. i heard his verse on lights out so now i'm intrigued.

 

[KrazyGlue]

Exactly. Everything the nine said.

Fine. FYI, I'm doing more of a typical bragging rap. I would do intellectual, but I don't want to spend a long time thinking of deep lyrics, lol.

So, should we write lyrics and then make a beat? Or write lyrics first? I'm just wondering, since writing lyrics without a beat can be a bit tricky, since you may have to adjust the flow you originally had in mind when you fit it to a beat.

So who's on this? I have:

KrazyGlue
Jane
IAmBlue3
N9NE (ghostwriter???)
cookie
linguini (beats)
rhan (I think)

Anyone else? Assuming this is the final list, we're looking at 4-5 or so verses.

 

[Jane]

you forgot albino and mccloud.

also, make a beat first. like i said the beat should be our first order of business

 

[Jane]

oh, and ybm, and kingdom come, who created this whole idea in the first place lol

 

[Jane]

and serin.


triple post ftw

 

[McCloud]

nyukkas quit forgettin about me

 

[Jane]

dammit, i was going for a quadruple, cuz i was about to say boofy wanted to be the dj khaled hahaha

 

[McCloud]

DDEEEEEEE JAAAYYYYY KHAAAALLLLEEEDDDDDDDD

we da best

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Weeeeeee daaaaaa bessssssssssss

 

[soap]

nah. then everybody will end up soundin like Common on kanye's Get Em High. sounded way off topic in comparison to kanye and talib. we need a theme!

i love that track. I would usually skip common's verse tho it's true

Hey I can write too.

I've never seriously worked on a delivery tho

I'll just post some random stuff that I have

 

[KrazyGlue]

I love Khaled's minute-long rambling at the beginning of the I'm so hood remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKnSpimeAF4

Also hooray for like 10 verses in our song. Epic!

 

[Y.b.M.]

I don't care what beat we rap to... Music is what I do 24/7 when I'm not at tournaments and on smashboards. Also, I don't suggest doing a hook at all. Although, hooks are the foundation of a song and allows listeners to understand the core of what they are listening to. It's going to be a decent amount of people on the song...

Songs that are to long get annoying to listen to after a while. I think we should have someone introduce all of the people featured in the song... The intro shouldn't last longer than 30 seconds.... then immediately after the intro the 1st rapper should go, on beat afterward.

So when the beat is decided, Someone who wants to be involved but isn't particularly lyrical can introduce it.

I prefer to go first or last. If anyone has an objection to that...I don't mind going in the verses in between.

There doesn't need to be a specific theme for the song..but I believe it should revolve around the same vibe of the song. It shouldn't be like one person spitting about "being fly, Getting money"...and then the next talking about "Making love to a woman"... We should all be going in the same direction... get me?

Also, 16 bars is fine per person....either that or less. Hearing the beat 1st is recommended, once the beat is decided we can measure out which verse goes where from x time to y time. Also, we need to have a title for the song. The title will give us an idea of what we are spitting about.

Can't wait to record this... it'll be fun.

 

[Linguini]
