@cookiemonster: i'd have to hear some tracks first
Well of course.
I'll probably put a demo song out first. Might or might not be on the album, we'll see.
The Tracklist will be fairly interesting. 2 songs about ****, one from the victim's point of view, and one from the rapist's point of view.
A lot of the album is going to be on relaxed beats, but songs relating to issues are going to be on ominous piano instrumentals, similar to Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique.
I'm going to write the demo sometime soon, and I'll get the song recorded by mid-June, I think.
I'm getting a job so that I can record it (getting a Macbook Pro, Garage Bang is amazing), and I could get it on iTunes if needed too. I think it's $10 to put a single on?
Oh, and I'm going to produce about half of it, while my friend will produce the rest. No guests on the album, most likely (99% sure it's gonna be all me). The tracklist as of now is:
Album (Untitled at the moment...)
Track 1: Intro, or something similar to "My Name Is" by eminem.
Track 2: Song about taking it back to the 90's hip hop. relaxed beat and relaxed flow
Track 3: **** Part 1: Her Side of the story (her thoughts, etc)
Track 4: **** Part 2: His Side of the story (why he did it, etc)
Track 5: Song about politics( anti bush song, like Mosh by Eminem)
Track 6: song about war in iraq
Track 7: song giving props to rappers who keep it real
Track 8: song talking about how underground rappers can be unsigned and get more money than if they werent signed
Track 9: just a normal rap song. fast flow. quicker beat. cool metaphors, rhymes, etc. like " When I B On Tha Mic" by Rakim.
Track 10: song about Oakland. gonnna like walk around with some people to get some ideas for this. kinda like NY State of Mind by nas.
Track 11: song about 3rd world countries, gonna read up and this is gonna be a really powerful song, ya know.
Track 12: Man's Best Friend (song about my dog, this is gonna be a real song, emotional you know.
Track 13: P.M. (Premature Man) (idk, this will just like explain my thoughts and stuff, like how i joke around a lot, but on the inside im too mature for my age. deep track)
Track 14: Represent (a track about oakland, and just representing from where youre from. like, "born in '96 in alta bates, in california the greatest of all states." stuff like that lol)
Track 15: What Happened? (going from like 1994-present, how hip hop was like flourishing and then all of a sudden went pop, aka bad)
Track 16: Breaking The Rules (about not going pop, doesnt even have a chorus. really breaking the rules you know. talking about controversy too)
Track 17: Keep It Real (take a guess, ahahaha)
Track 18: Laugh Now (Mourn Later) (kinda like ice cube's album, i think? laugh now, cry later.)
Track 19: Greed (talking about how people are greedy and just want money)
Track 20: Acapella (track produced only by sounds made by me. the rapping will be on point too.)
Track 21: Let's Continue This... (me rapping acapella, like an outro. "I could just continue to rhyme and rhyme, but lets just continue another time")
now, this is just off the top of my head. a few of these I'm going to completely scrap. It's definitely going to have 20 songs, at least.
(in case you haven't guessed, im from oakland. haha
