RAP CHALLENGE WEEK #22 - Rap over Drake instrumental

in rapchallenge •  7 years ago  (edited)

So my webcam is fucked or something I guess... Literally just bought it a couple weeks ago, now the computer won't even recognize it. I reinstalled it, the drivers, everything. Isn't working, YAY!

Sooooooo I took this with my phone. My phone is garbage, so I do what I can to bring out as much light as possible. In the process of doing that, I found some really cool effects and filters that I just wanted to use cause I thought they looked dope. Anyway, let me know what you think.

Here’s a taste for the fiends who waitin for dope lines
I Have fans that are loan sharks, about to go prime
the crowd lends me their ears, but pay me no mind
Till I hook it up like cable and then it is showtime

Fiends - Dope lines. Loan sharks - go "prime", lending me ears, no mind... cable/showtime. This is pretty self explanatory.

Listen, this first lesson on how to do bangers
They salute me when I pass, I guess now I am major
Captain obvious, never should you doubt me you haters
I’m a battleship respect it, or bow to the anchor

Salute me, I am major... Major in the military, salute... Captain obvious, keeping with military theme... Battleship, BOW to the ANCHOR. Go from the ships bow to the anchor/ bow to anchor, swim with fish, get destroyed, etc.

Sick like a cannibal throwing up on ya set
similar to fifty two pick up when I blow up ya deck
You’ll fold up quick to some grown up shit, that’s how I bet
7 deuce, off suit, verse is aces, it’s death

Cannibal throwing up, sick... That's real sick... Blow up ya deck/52 pick up. Self explanatory. Fold up quick, keeping with the cards meta. 7, deuce, off suit is the worst hand to play poker with... Verse is aces = versus aces, pocket aces, best hand to play pocker with... IT'S DEATH!

punch out what you clock in, cuz it’s boring to me
And my hands they each holding bout a quarter to three
So that is two .45s, accordin' to each
tic toc, gunshot... WATCH, It’s time, you retreat

Punch out what you clock in, it's boring to me... Time metaphor, work, etc, self explanatory. Hands each holding a quarter to 3, 2 .45's... quarter to 3, 2:45, 2 .45s... Tic toc, keeping with time meta, WATCH, it's TIME... etc... Shit's wreckless.

Dope as always!! Appreciate all the wordplay in this! Time scheme at the end was probably my favorite but really well thought out verse all the way through.

Quick response, dammmn. On it today, ay?

Thanks my man, appreciate your feedback as always.

Haha I'm quick sometimes! Nah sadly not doing the rap challenge this week.. Got some beats from a friend I'm working on. Next time!

Sweet man, can't wait to hear what you come up with!

Damn your voice just keeps getting more proffesional. This track was a banger and you always keep the lyrical content high. Respect.

Thanks man... Yea, I haven't really recorded or messed with my voice for over 4 years, almost 5, so I lost a lot of the knowledge on mixing my voice and getting it professional sounding. However, I'm re-learning the tricks as I go along. Sometimes it just comes back to me once I open a vst or something, but mostly I'm just having to completely relearn it all over again >.<

Sounds like I need to write up a vocal mixing guide ;)

Hell yea, will be down with that for sure!

Damnnn, mans got me beat

Lol, appreciate you checking it out man.

Yeah wow you actually recorded it and mixed a little I guess I may have to do the same to compete in the future

Yessir! You brought out the banger in this, and this was dope on many levels. I'm with Privat that the wordplay and scheme on this was top notch, and explaining it out on the text really brings it to life even more. Had me head bobbing with it for sure!

Thanks dude, really appreciate you checking it out.
