Hey Guys.. I've read all your tutorials (i mean it) But i still have many unanswered questions. It seems the rap game isnt too easy, I Just want to be sick at spitting like the pro's (even high ama's)
Im not too much into text, but i prefer audio. It's been proven I'm better at text, but my goal is to be able to freestyle, and record audio with good flow, voice (editing) and beat.

I've tried learning a lot, and I have alot of respect for rappers.

ignore the audio battles.. i was just messin around.

Some of my songs-
myspace.com/njzillest

most of them i just messed around.. as you can probably see.. I write the lyrics in 10 minutes, and spit in 10.. all together it takes me about 20 minutes to produce a song.

If your interested in helping me, please contact me or leave a message here.. I hope one day I can pass my knowledge to an aspiring emcee.

first off.... take more time doing it...

at least when you first start off...

ive been writing and recording for 4 years about... and only SOMETIMES can i do a piece in under and hour or 2....  the quickest ive done lately... was my remix of Daydream.... took me about 45 minutes, maybe a lil more to write... and about 20 or so to record...

haste makes waste man... ( my dad always told me that..lol)...  meaning.. if you rush somethin... youll only make shit...


secondly.. take shit more seriously... you said twice in your post above that you were just messin around... if you really wanna elevate... your seriousness and what you put into it needs to elevate first....

third... keep writing... it takes time....

if you have time... go to my music page...  http://www.soundclick.com/gpfeif
look at the very last track on there... Vs. Jehu.....  then listen to my battle vs. Game or liquid, or any of my new shit....  there is a 2 year span between those... and you can see the difference

it takes time and many shitty tracks untill you finally get it right...

Thanks bro, Ima try nd take more time... When i say "I'm just messing around" i really mean I do this for fun, but i want elevation. The time factor really hurts, on one track i took 2 hours to finish (getting my self on beat) Writting lyrics is no problem, i have tons of pages just for lyrics.. I try to improve them with flow. My vocab isnt elementery~ I use "unorthadox" vocab~ i also use some metaphores and similies.. its the flow and editing that needs work..
 
Thanks for the advice though, I'll keep that in mind, and I'll check out your music page when I get home.
 
Once again, thanks for the promp reply
