[QUOTE=Lyrics]
(CoCo Nutt)
crusin in my 95 chevy,
fuckin deadly,
no glock only cock, armed to the top
grape shot,
even though I finished I’m, fuckin-her-till-her pussy rot
from day one been spittin hot,
B-Nasty is Nasty till i choose to stop
equipped my dick with pistol grip,
jizz on bitch, made accurate
goin by Nasty cause,
thats how I be, fuckin rapping
no, poetry crafting
every verse is like a freestyle,
first thing that comes to mind, that makes me fuckin smile
and, its gotta be vile,
piles, of lyrics,
in my brain,
outta the main vien,
into your ears,
lyrically killin you queers,
stanky flow, like, what is comin out of a steer,
another fuckin whiff,
is what you need, bitch,
t, spit on this shit

(Fluffy T-Huggin')
Here it is gents
It's verse number one
And ya know that it's quick in the thick 'cause your dick can not
Handle this shit for the 3 - 2- 1 BAM
You're left there with a mess on your hands
A look o' confusion on your face and a limp penis in your pants.

That's right B-Nasty, I'm speaking about your shit
The terrible music that you produce and promote and then hope that it will be a hit
But the rhymes that you spit are hella far from sick and
The only flow you know comes from my semen streamin' dick.

You'd rush out your lyrics as quickly as ya could
But as long as you fuckin' finish, doesn't matter if it's good
For her, 'cause you got your fuckin' Coco-Nutt,
You pump your premature ejaculation deep in that slut.

But you've shown us that you're really into lickin' the boys
And now we all know this Coco-Nutt has come down with a case of the "All men joy"
Now don't get me wrong we can still go to DQ and get blizzy,
But when it comes to the rappin', man, this shit is about to get fuckin' Dizzy.

(CoCo Nutt)
I’ll let you know when there is a fuck, to be given
but right now, there isn’t, so, swallow my semen.
and i almost gotta k,
the nutt blew up,
pom-pay,
swag out the fuckin A,
king kong,
got the bitches and packin a fat dong
paid to vallet,
got a fuckin check,
now I gotta,
split like a spliff
with my fuckin partner named fluffy t,
he’s the tabacy and I’m the fuck-in weed.

you faggots fuckin need me spittin,
no one is better,
look at the shit that I have written
about, all of the times
I be,
hittin the kittens
missin, squirtin on pigeons,
lastin no more than a minute
every fuckin time I spit it.
verses bout my dick n’ staff, fishin.
a little more, than just, kissin.
pluggin up, your message boards.
and smearin your ears,
with shit, outta my mouth,
if ya gotta problem?
suck on the pole down south[/QUOTE]

I'll be at my studio tonight (finally) going over some of Rediscovers beats for input. Anyone got anything they need input on? I'm going to lump it all into 1 video to make it easy.

I usually really like your beats actually. This one is pretty good too but the snare is really bad and the kick is a little too hectic imo. Real decent stuff nonetheless

[okeefe415]

[QUOTE=lemonlimecom;37253247]The ironic part about me saying nobody paid attention to my thread is that nobody paid attention to my post either.[/QUOTE]

It's not bad, but it's not really Rap/Hip-Hop at all. I'm all for uptempo stuff, but I can honestly say this isn't something a non-pop rapper would spit over.

Also, you've go a lot of volume changes as the bass comes in & out. I'll chalk that up to Youtube compression tho.

[editline]15th August 2012[/editline]

Also your "tag" is corny as balls. If I met someone who labeled their beats with "Another hot XXX beat", I'm going to expect the beat to be corny as fuck.

That was pretty entertaining to watch actually lol. It's real cool of you to give crits like this, you rarely see people do this kinda stuff on here.

To be fair on the first beat I'm pretty sure Nujabes sampled that originally. It's real overused though.

Aaaalso you have a real nice studio, could we get some pictures.

Thanks! I'll record another video or something since it's hard to capture everything in pictures. I'll be back there tonight, so keep your eyes peeled.

thank you so much for that dude, it made me notice a lot of stuff that i normally wouldnt have

i broke my wrist the other day, so its kind of a bitch to produce at the moment, but im eager to see what i can do with your insight

[editline]19th August 2012[/editline]

except i use ableton, not fl and i get most of my samples from the flip it section on future producers

your sounds are dull and sound very amateur

the melody is super boring

your drums are boring also and wayy too quantized, theres no groove or swing to it

i guess its alright for a first attempt but you have a long way to go

[Crazyone]

it aint easy with only a keyboard and fl studio what program do you use and what plugins??? this is an old song i did with a sample i make my music from scratch now but before i used like in this one a sample [video]http://soundcloud.com/crosspad/still-old-beat[/video]

Feedback? Okay here are some suggestions:

- Don't use a lot of reverb on your kick drums. Sometimes it can work but as a rule of thumb you should try to avoid reverb on bass instruments.

- Also be careful with the way you use reverb in general. Here you have used a looot of reverb with a very large room size. Try to set up a reverb on an aux track with a smaller room size, and a filter highpassing everything from 100-150 hz. Then send channels to it in appropriate amounts.

- Sometimes having your beats and hits a little of the grid can add some really nice swing. Try turning off the grid in the piano roll sometimes and play with having some hits hit a little before or after the beats. Different velocities are also important to add a little bit of human feel to your drums.

- You will usually want more than a two not piano playing with a few violin notes every now and then. Try to make a bassline, use more notes on the piano, use some kinds of chords. Music theory is the single most important thing for writing music and if you are not going to sample you will have to learn at least some of it.

- Also try to read a little about compression and EQ. That's the hardest stuff to get good at so don't worry too much.

Thanks very helpful ill share a new one with the new stuff ive learned till next beat

First time recording in a booth (home made, not professional), so I was pretty excited about that. Lyrics are on the cloud page. I did the mixing too, never done that before.

Reminds me of Guru with the flow, man. The storytelling style goes well with that beat but it still sounds kind of low, raise the beats volume or maybe its the mixing.

alright this is one of the beats i did recently what do you think?

[Yoozil]

I've become interested in music production, and I really love the work of Jay Dee.

I'm just a bit confused as to where I should start, because I actually want to make a career out of this.

Are there any tools/programs that a beginner like me should be using?

Well everyone wants to make a career out of this. It's very difficult lol.

Anyway, I recommend you start with a program called FL Studio 10. Very beginner friendly but it is still a professional enough piece of software. Read the manual for whatever you use. Seriously read all of them. Will save you a lot of time with the simple stuff.

I like the incorporation of the vocal samples, but the main sample gets old fast. Drums are solid as usual, but the sample loop is driving me crazy!
