  1. Change of POETS

    Step ya game up.

    Mini rant... What's with the younger side of our Hip-Hop community now days? Everyone is looking for a pat on the back, and more than 80% of these cats need a swift kick in the can. :mad: If you drop a beat, and people don't feel it... Don't cry about it. Don't make excuses like "well I was...

    Yo Mindset....

    That "Set it free" track on your myspace page... Who's on verse 1? Who made that beat? The hook needs some work, and whoever is on verse 2 didn't keep my interest... but dude on verse 1 murdered it, and the beat is nasty. You should pull homie off verse 2 and let me lace a 16 for it. :D

    Pressing CD

    Discmakers sucks. They're the most stringent on sampling issues and clearances. If you don't have contractual proof of sample clearance, they won't press your album. Not to mention, they're more expensive than almost all the other companies too. I prefer www.dungeon-replication.com They do a...

    Cover Art?

    Here's a couple of the covers I've done. Plus I did the cover for the Hustle Magic joint... But yeah, it is what it is. https://home.comcast.net/~bpenney/Art/H1_cover.jpg https://home.comcast.net/~bpenney/Art/Poetik---Album-Art.jpg...

    Ok...who is willing to mix my album

    As Billy said, I'm pretty affordable, and very good. I have products released on worldwide labels, sitting on shelves in multiple countries. But I'd need about 3 weeks notice to start, and about 2 weeks to complete the project.

    Ya'll Should Drink With Me ;)

    If these dudes can't get it where you want it, I can mix it for you.... But not for free. Let me know.

    ***Can we post the beats for our CD in here***

    I disagree completely. The reverb is beautiful as it is, and the choir only needs to be turned down. It marks the chorus very well, and compliments the melody. Drop the choir another 4db or so, and it should be less intrusive. But yeah, that's a dope beat.

    What is the most prefered style in here?

    My flow preference is irrelevant... I can do it all. My style is BTY. Better Than You :D

    Price . . . What's Yours?

    I sell mine for $10 at shows. Full length LP's, anyway... EP's are $8. In retail stores, I let the retail manager mark up the price whatever they need to above my demands. I want $8 return on my retail sales. Some stores place me at $10.99 and some place me at $12.99. I make sure I don't go...

    So, I signed with a Booking Agent.

    I'll be in Beantown tomorrow and Thursday man, but I'm on business, not pleasure. Next time I'm in the bean, we should hook up for dinner or something?

    Take This Post Apart and Re-Write It

    There are more things wrong in that article than are right. No sense in re-writing it. Just delete it.

    mixing levels

    When tracking out your instrumentals, it's best to keep everything dead-panned center, and keep peaks at or below -6db. That way, the mixing engineer can plug your tracked out sounds into his/her DAW and do everything they need, to make the best mix possible. You should be mixing your...

    mixing levels

    Yeah, I record levels around -18dbFS RMS. Peaks will hit around -12 or so, and low points might be around -24 etc... Gives plenty of headroom in the mix, and makes sure there's no clipping issues. Most people think that if they're recording 24bit, they can record as hot as they want. That's...

    I'm actually going to pitch a similar idea to her for a small tour with me and Fresh Digress in the Baltimore area, since they're from there. They should be able to draw decent crowds, and I'll be able to pull some of their fanbase. I'll keep you posted.

    An honest question from someone who doesn't understand rap...

    You know nothing of what you speak. Did you live it? No, you read about it... I've done extensive research on it, I lived a large part of it, I grew up in this culture. More than 90% of my life has been a part of this culture. You can't seem to grasp the totality of it's circumference, nor do...

    Thanks ya'll... Knotty, I dunno if I need more shows. I did 57 last year. I'm already close to 20 this year, and it's barely even April. It's just... this whole music thing is getting too big for me to do on my own, and still enjoy it. When it starts to feel like work, it's not worth doing...
