U notice anything? Only da ladies have replied so far. Now I'm a tell U. The verses R extremely long. I'm not sure how da flow of it would work 2 a beat. Most likely an R&B type beat. Well, I rapped it acapella while I was readin it. IT'z good. That'z a style I couldn't become. Very few probably could. It'z probably just the way U typed it. These were just complex verses in a pure texture. Keep ya rhyme style tho. If I wrote like U, I'd be an acappella-based rapper. That'z somethin new. There U go. Then people would have 2 focus on the lyrical content, and not beats all da time. Good job. U've created a rare style and if presented right, I'd be a fan of it.

Thanks. If U read the description of da song, U'd really catch on 2 what it'z about. Yes, flow seems 2 be one of my strong points. Many people have told me that.

After da show, go 2 sleep and wake up 2 dreams of doin the same thing, becomin' successful

[quote=Da Brakes,Aug 4 2004, 04:16 AM]What kinda beat to you want it to be??[/quote] Not sure yet. But letz work on da lyrics 1st. At least, that'z what I'm gonna do. Most likely 2day if I'm feelin it.

[quote=Da Brakes,Aug 4 2004, 04:15 AM]I'd definately be down for an all star collab!![/quote] Of course, right now ya the #1 artist at this board.

[quote=DevilsJim89,Aug 4 2004, 02:24 AM]Also how does Goldwave extract just the music and not the vocals? im confused..lol[/quote] It doesn't do it like that. I think the above post I made ^ should sum that up. Just tell me the song U want 2 extract and I'll tell U the steps.

[quote=DevilsJim89,Aug 4 2004, 02:09 AM]Thats one thing I still dont get, how do you create a beat? How is it done, what do you need?[/quote] Well, I just loop mine. But 2 "create" a beat, I'd ask da brakes bout it. I just know that he uses Reason. If it helps, Will Smith does too. Example of What I Do: Ok, G-Unit's "Salute U". The 1st 0:11 seconds of the song is the beat. I'd CD extract that and listen 2 it 4 the place I'd break and loop. It was a count of 8, but I used 4 cuz 50 Cent would start during the 8th. I just copied that part and pasted it. That created a new sound window, and then I went to the end and just looped it. I play it back 2 make sure it'z the right spot and then just keep doin it. Once it'z like a minute or so, I copy the whole thing and loop that. And the minutes add up. Once that'z finished, if I wanted 2 (which I did), I added a fade out. If I'd make beats, I'd use my keyboard but I don't have batteries 4 it yet, and I need better audio software.

That's right. Now It'z ya turn top dawg

Yeah. That was my 1st pick. But I was curious if any1 else had the tech 2 do it too.

Well guys. Letz discuss this here. 1st, we're all gonna write it since Prince isn't ready 2 record. But he will be, and soon I hope. Hero1: has an idea 4 da intro; which will represent 4 us worldwide. I was thinkin someone could make the beat so that it is in fact OUR song. Even if not it'z cool. But I'd prefer it that way. Agree wit me on dat one?

[quote=Hero1,Aug 4 2004, 01:23 AM]i gota a great little intro/quote we could use on the song as well..abt hip hop being worldwide[/quote] That'z good. I'm thinkin that Brakes should make the beat so it will actually be OUR song. Well any1 who can make a beat.

No. Here's the hint. After it, Will says "If we're so rich, why can't we afford no ceiling?"

[quote=DevilsJim89,Aug 4 2004, 01:08 AM]ahh man thanks bro! major help![/quote] No problem at all man.

[quote=DevilsJim89,Aug 4 2004, 12:59 AM]ahh your right man! lol tina..haha ahh that quote is hard...the one above this post.[/quote] Come on man. U should get. Should I give U a hint? 4 those of u tuning in it'z... "May money makes money, we're rich."

[quote=DevilsJim89,Aug 4 2004, 12:51 AM]haha good thing u put "aqua" there..now i know how to say it... do you usually write what your feeling at the moment or what? How do you come up with the choruses and stuff? And is there a site where I can download Rap insturmentals? I need some good beats to write too.[/quote] Man, I gotcha covered. Writing: Well, it'z a lil bit of both. Sometimes it will be 4 the moment. Or it will be an idea that will develop over time. Summertime was a development becuz I wanted 2 try 2 make it relate 2 what people would be doin over the summer, in my area. If it relates 2 others, Great! Some songs require a lot of thought. Stories R probably one of the easiest, tho writing is never too easy. I wrote a FULL on 90 line song. 3 verse consisting of 15 rhyme lines in 4 hours. And it was from like 2-6 a.m. the song was called "Why'd U Become A B****" It was a str8 story and very well written. I could create a picture of it. I also write poetry. Those, R most likely 4 me the 4 moment ones. Chorus: I think that'z my specialty. Probably cuz I would make short lines as a kid. Examples - when I was 4, I made these lines following James Brown "I Feel Good"? I said, lol "I gotta pee/ Use my wee" When the Steelers faced the Patriots in the conference game back in 96 i think, I made a rhyme that followed "Jingle Bell Rock". It went... "Pizza man, pizza man, please hurry up/ we r hungry and the Patriots suck..." i 4get the rest. so funny tho. I just try 2 sum up the song in those few "catchy" lines. Some R catchy, some aren't. Instrumentals: Ok, I use bearshare. It'z faster than kazaa. And even if they don't have what ya lookin 4, try goldwave. Wit it, u don't download beats. u cd audio extract them. I do that and loop em. I did that wit the G-Unit Beg For Mercy CD. U'll definitely hear one of em sometime at my site. U don't have 2 write 2 beats. Sometimes it'z better 2 just write in general. Cuz if U write 2 the beat. U may follow exactly what the beat does. And Will says not 2 do it. He also says 2 write about things u know. (most likely experienced) Now anything else u need 2 kno?

[quote=DevilsJim89,Aug 4 2004, 12:40 AM]Do you guys write in notebooks or type it? And FuQ, I love your Summertime '04!!! It rocks and is your name supposed to be "fu*ck" ? cuz i noticed FuQ if you say it..its the f-word. lol.[/quote] 1st: I Write in notebooks. Like when I 1st started, I did em in pencil and they got smeared, so I had 2 type em. Then I used pens. The permanent tool. 2nd: I'm glad U enjoy Summertime '04. I loved doin it. But I can still improve. No, my name is f***. It'z Fuqua. (few-qua). <-- like sayin aqua. ok. does that help u any? Classic mistake. Some people at other boards and probably here too would spell f*** as fuq. And when I searched and found it, I got mad at dat. But at least U asked.

OK. now it'z the 5 star lyricists from da JJFP forum.

Well, that is Geoffrey. But the one I did b4 that was Tina. Remember now? Now the next one is... "May money makes money, we rich."

Actually brakes, it'z "Oh get the heck outta here. Y'all mean 2 tell me she ain't up in the bathroom?" <--(it'z from the episode where Marge comes 2 visit) Now... hmm? "He's dressed like an idiot and he's still so cool!" <-- this ones probably hard 4 y'all. think

I just read the tracklist. Not what I thought. I thought it was gonna be almost all Will. A couple songs look like they would be good.

Cutmaster C. I only heard one song he did, well used. It was Nas "The Spirit". I really liked that song. Will on mixtape? That'z somethin I didn't expect. But I'd love 2 hear it. Can U imagine if DJ Jazzy Jeff made a Will Smith mixtape?

Look how everybody's kickin it, so don't ask how we put it down wit the greatest presence

[quote=bigted,Aug 3 2004, 09:53 PM][quote=mfuqua23,Aug 3 2004, 12:49 PM] U know, maybe da 4 of us should make a song 2gether. What y'all think?[/quote] That would be a dope idea, we relate to each in many ways even though we're from different parts of the world! :thumb: [/quote] That'z exactly what I was thinkin when I thought of the idea. I was thinkin along the ideas of 'even tho we're solo artists, we can collab like we're a group.' Not sure yet, but u know.

[quote=Prince,Aug 3 2004, 07:05 PM]mfuqua23, sorry about forgetting your link earlier! Here it is for anyone interested... [url="http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/fuqmusic.htm"]http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/fuqmusic.htm[/url][/quote] Hey man. That'z quite aight. It probably just means I need 2 work harder and bein noticed. And trust me, I do. But yeah. I gotta couple good songs on there.

I didn't think it was rite 2 say happy birthday afterwards. But I will. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Man. YA one of da best artists at da board.
