I wear it once then it's trash, like a Ke$sha song.

This is a rap thread. Post some cool tracks. Now that Arnie is gone I think we can actually discuss good rap.

That's really good. I like the lazy delivery, I know that sounds like a dig, but it's not, it's laid back and mellow.

I also like that he called out white rappers on being boring and dumb without saying white people can't rap.

This is one of those songs that I get emotional when I listen to because it reminds me of a specific point in my life, but I think it's good even beyond that. Mike Mictlan is cool and I wish he got more coverage.

It's got that 2009 sound and I don't think that's a bad thing in 2014, even though it was getting tired in 2009.

ok what about this one

To quote Prolyphic, "Hustle and find it troubles the mind, you stumble and fumble and mumble your rhymes, I hate when crowds are easily impressed by double-time."

Haha, just kidding. I don't hate it but it's not really doing anything for me. I have an irrational dislike of British accents

I have an irrational dislike of all accents that aren't the proper, god-given Midwest/West Coast American English dialect.

I've been writing and spitting for like 1.5 years now. I don't have anything good recorded because I haven't even tried to record anything ever since I got sober like 6 months ago but my writing is a lot better now. Checking out your stuff now

i havent recorded very much. started like 3 years ago but stopped until just recently. need to focus on improving and stop hating myself when my poo poo sounds poo poo haha

deep dish peat moss

That's pretty cool, I wish I had any recording equipment at all or the knowhow to actually produce poo poo because all I got is a boombox and a voice recorder. Do you make the beats yourself?

It's weird to listen to amateur rappers on the internet because everyone sounds better than most of what gets signed out there today.

This is the only halfway decent recording I have of myself I think, over a beat that dogcrash truther made. And I sound really bad.

These days I just spit over Atmosphere beats on the bus ever since I found an instrumental copy of Seven's Travels. I'm getting to the point now where I'm happy enough with what I'm writing and how I sound to start actually doing something with it. I wish I had something recent recorded. I wrote half of a pretty cool homage to Trying to Find a Balance. I don't think my delivery can keep up with my writing though.

Everything in me tells me I shouldn't like Nicki Minaj but I can't stop liking her and she's really cool.

i feel the same way but i think its all about practicing the flow of ur lines over and over until ur voice is doin what u want it to. and having plenty of time in front of the mic to get it right.

Yeah I just need practice. I don't think I'm very good but some guys were spitting on campus yesterday and I went up and was hanging out and I was like "Man I'm better than that guy, and that guy" only to find out they've been doing it for like a decade.

It's weird to practice at first too, because rapping poorly is extremely embarrassing, and it's hard to find places to practice where people can't overhear your embarrassment. I feel comfortable enough to spit a little something while walking down the street now.

The quote in the title comes from this song, by the way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhzZK4bOQ20

As silly as Murs looks with no hair he's still got it and I was so happy to hear him working with Fashawn. I was all about Fash when he came out as an unheard of 19 year old back in 09 and by now he has worked with literally like 80% of all of my favorite emcees.

defs man i still feel weird about sharing stuff on soundcloud even tho i think my latest ones are half decent. rapping in public is even worse coz ive never really practiced freestyling and i forget my lyrics all the time. such a stoner.
