The vocal quality and rapping was quite good. There is good definition in the words. Some of the overlaying of the vocals works pretty well. The chorus is done pretty well and it catchy. There are some issues though. The vocals float really high above everything else. They feel entirely separate in a lot of places. The layered vocals don't sound good when you overdo it, like when you quad track the same part (I'm guessing on the number). The song gets pretty boring later and the repetition gets to be too much. It just isn't the repeated riff, it is also the lyrical scheme which follows aabb throughout all of the verse. Makes it very predictable, very repetitive, and nothing really stands out (apart from the chorus).
This going on the next Facepunch collab CD? :v:

Thank you for the rapping advice Pepin.
I didn't quad track anything though, the most I ever used was two.
[QUOTE=johan_sm;28139141]I guess it's as rap as it gets, because it doesn't flow at all.[/QUOTE]
Flows better than 90% of the songs produced today.

You think there was rapping advice in there? Anyway, upon further inspection it seems like you are only double tracking, so I was off about that. Did you do any stereo widening? If not, you're tracking is pretty good because it adds a lot of depth.
I don't usually put stereo widening on vocals. Is that common?
download please.
I was expecting a really shitty teenager rap song, but this was actually really good :v:
have i ever told you you're my favorite mod

I hate rap. But this sir. This was... this was not rap. This was some higher form of art!

No I'm quite sure it was rap. See my first post for reference.
[QUOTE=TH89;28142611]I don't usually put stereo widening on vocals. Is that common?[/QUOTE]
It is pretty common with lead vocals. It won't have any real bearing on the timing since you'd only be delaying one channel by 5-50ms. But of course, only use it if you think the vocals could use more depth.
TH89, you're fucking good at this.
Ryu-Gi just sounds like the Space Mafia from Galactopticon with a hint of lisp. I like it, you should put a reference in the sound files somewhere. Just idle chatter, something like 'You seen that chick Susan Coffey? She's so hot'.

Obviously leading to "Dude, she's been dead for years."
"....So?"
Didn't need 2 threads but I liked it none the less. Most of the shit you make is always good.
And someguy didn't ban him, RavenQ did.

No but if you grew a bit of a neckbeard you'll make a formidable goon.
Sorry, but this is the most stupid and immature shit I've heard.. EVER.
And you're an moderator... Seriously.. You should know better, this is the worst kind of harassment I've ever seen..
Stop being a douché.
inb4 whiteknights: I guess you're all pleased hearing this rap, but seriously? You're letting this stay here? Are you so stupid?
Harassing and mocking people shouldn't happen AT ALL...

Get a sense of humor.
I do, but there is no humor in directly harassing a person.
[QUOTE=Domino;28156246]I do, but there is no humor in directly harassing a person.[/QUOTE]
Kinda agree.
It's like laughing at a mentally disabled kid.
Oh look I am mean to someone who has mental instability, I'm so cool.
